Pete Carroll made no attempt to hide his intentions around modifying the snap counts on the defensive line with an eye on helping the pass rush. What he did not say was who was going to see more time or less time, and just how much. In comparing the percentage...
There are some Seahawks tidbits worth thinking about as the team nears the midpoint in the 2014 season. Despite Seattle’s slow start and Arizona’s fast start, Seattle still controls its own destiny. The Seahawks would own the tiebreaker over the Cardinals if they win both games against their divisional foe....
THIS WEEK Seattle falls two spots this week despite winning in Carolina. Their passer rating differential is still negative, and their point differential is not big enough to make up for it. Arizona, sitting at 6-1, is still ranked lower due to a much weaker strength of schedule. People have...
Logo by Kevin Gamache, Hammerhead The human body needs muscles in order to move, lift, and push. Muscles can be used to intimidate. They are sexy. Most people associate muscles with strength, but without another ingredient, a muscle is powerless. It is when a muscle attaches to bone, and that bone...
Someone else other than Bryan Walters is handling punt returns today, as the wide receiver has been declared inactive against Carolina.

The Seahawks are hoping to turn things around this week as they head on the road to face the Carolina Panthers. With injuries piling up, Pete Carroll is searching for a fix at multiple positions. On who will play fullback this week: “You’ll wait and see, we will unveil that...
Seahawks TE Luke Willson and CB Tharold Simon have both returned to practice today, according to coach Pete Carroll. Having those two players back in time for Sunday’s must-win game at Carolina will contribute to an area the Seahawks have been sorely lacking in recent weeks: Depth. It’s especially important...
Seahawks fans are intimately aware of just how far the team’s pass defense has fallen. It was in the conversation for best secondaries of all-time, and combined with a fierce pass rush to neutralize even the elite quarterbacks in the NFL. No longer. They are allowing a staggering 103.7 opponent...
THIS WEEK It is Denver, Green Bay, and everyone else in this weeks rankings. Interesting to note that Seattle has beat both of them. The Seahawks drop a couple more spots and fall out of the top ten for the first time in a couple of years. Minnesota, Atlanta, and...
