I’ve been thinking about the upcoming draft a lot lately. I am much more confident about who I want us to avoid than I am about who I want us to choose. Instead of a list of who I’d like us to choose, here is a list of who I...
Brandon Marshall is said to be visiting the Seahawks this weekend. That is horrible news for every Hawks fan. Not only is Marshall a cancer, that would add challenges to an already sensitive receiving corps (Housh), but it would cost the Hawks some amount of draft picks. The default compensation...
I see Thomas Jones is going to be released by the Jets, and Pete Carroll continues to sing the praises of Julius Jones. If there is one thing I am certain of with the Seahawks, it’s that Julius Jones will never be the answer at running back. There are exactly...
I’ve been fretting for some time about the effect Alex Gibbs might have on our interest in taking a top-flight tackle in the first round. This is an unusually strong tackle draft, and we are in a unique position to get one of the best available. Alex Gibbs does not...
Everyone knows the Hawks own 3 of the Top 40 picks in the 2010 NFL Draft, including #6 and #14. We also know the Hawks have needs at every position outside of kicker, punter and possibly linebacker. What gets really exciting is seeing that we have these great picks in...
This shows who improved the most, and who went backwards according to my strength formula. As bad as the Seahawks were, they were essentially just as bad as the year before. Note that SF made the largest gain in the division, and there’s reason to expect that to continue. 9...

It probably is no longer accurate to describe the Seahawks front office as a train wreck. Train wrecks are a finite occurrence, eventually they stop. This thing has stretched on for the last two+ seasons, and shows no signs of stopping anytime soon. The clown car that is the Seahawks...
Despite the fact that it became clear to me Jim Mora was not the answer as our head coach, I was surprised to hear he was fired today. I respected Mora’s sincerity and passion for the franchise and for the game. I think he brought in some serious defensive coaching...
