Off the cuff The Boom is back I was struck by how different practice felt just with the return of Earl Thomas, Kam Chancellor, and Brandon Browner. Thomas and Chancellor missed all of training camp last year. Browner has been gone for two years. Seeing those three together again, along...
One thing I have learned over the years of attending Seahawks training camp is that you better come with a plan. There are as many as five or six different groups doing different drills at the same time. You cannot possibly watch them all. Once you accept that, it becomes...
It’s the night before training camp, and of course we need to be talking Seahawks. I took 45 minutes to answer people’s questions and posted it here for those of you who could not attend. Will Michael Bennett be there? What if he isn’t? Who are the sleepers? Should we...
Pete Carroll and John Schneider have made a habit of defying NFL standards. Whether it be 6’4″ cornerbacks, or 5’10” quarterbacks, they have proven time and again that they have an eye for finding and utilizing unique talent. The two may have another trick up their sleeves as we enter the...
We are in the final countdown to the 2016 Seahawks training camp. Can you feel it? As someone who has attended dozens of these in the past, I have learned a few tips I wish I had known when I started. One of them was to have a printed roster...

That is what reportedly happened when Paul Allen opened up his wallet to give John Schneider a new five-year contract. Schneider has piled up a dizzying number of shrewd personnel decisions since...
It happened. It finally happened. News broke tonight that John Schneider has signed a five-year contract extension that will pay him top dollar, and keep him in Seattle through the 2021 season. Calling this huge is like saying Mount Everest is tall. The Seahawks franchise has been around for forty seasons. In...
It is human nature to focus on things that stand out. Only upon moments of pause and reflection do we recognize things that blend into the larger whole. The same is true with our favorite football team. We talk about stars like Kam Chancellor, and get excited about new additions like...
Ask a football fan about the Seattle Seahawks, and they will tell you about Russell Wilson, Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas, and probably even the retired Marshawn Lynch. The young core of the Seahawks is known throughout the league. You can go down the list from Kam Chancellor to Bobby Wagner...
