I joined the Steve Sandmeyer show this week to talk about the Seahawks chances against the 9-1 Cardinals, and why they need to take more shots down the field. Download this episode (right click and save) Brian Nemhauser...
THIS WEEK We have a new leader in the rankings at the Packers overtake the Broncos. Seattle actually climbs in the rankings due to the improvement in their strength of schedule (SOS), but stays stable in the rankings that removes SOS. The Cardinals are 9-1 and the Seahawks are...
A first objective look at the Seahawks game this Sunday against the Chiefs led me to the same conclusion as Vegas oddsmakers: Seattle deserves to be an underdog. Their offense has been inconsistent and their defense lost its foundation against the run in Brandon Mebane. Kansas City is one...
THIS WEEK Denver is in danger of losing their grip on the top spot for the first time in weeks as Green Bay trounced the Bears and the Broncos saw their strength of schedule (SOS) drop after playing the winless Raiders. The 49ers and Cardinals, by this measure, are...
It’s felt like an eternity since we last saw #54 in a uniform, but the wait is officially over: Seahawks middle linebacker Bobby Wagner returned to his first practice Wednesday since Oct. 10, and Pete Carroll has since said he’ll play in Sunday’s Week 12 matchup against Arizona. Since...

CB Jeremy Lane was re-added to the injury report Thursday with a groin issue, according to the team’s website. Pete Carroll didn’t speak to the media Thursday, so there’s no additional word on whether or not this is the same groin injury that kept him sidelined for eight games....

It has been a disappointing season so far. Why? And what should you look for as the season marches toward conclusion? I discuss those questions and take a first look at a Cardinals team that is not as strong as their record suggests. Download this episode (right click and...
James Carpenter is dealing with an ankle injury today and will not play. CB Marcus Burley has a hamstring issue and will also sit today against the Chiefs. And as expected, Marshawn Lynch will start despite carrying the “questionable” tag into today’s game. There aren’t a whole lot of...
The Seahawks app is pretty depressing lately. If I get one more notification telling me a key Seahawks player is out for the year, my phone probably will not survive the fallout. Five defensive linemen and two tight ends are on the injured reserve list just over halfway through...
Cliff Avril and Michael Bennett are not rushing the passer well enough. The offensive line is in shambles. The secondary is thin at cornerback. Stop me if you have heard any of these statements this year. If you read this blog, I know you have seen some of them...
