Malcolm Smith returned to full practice yesterday and returned an interception for a touchdown. The play elicited chants of “MVP! MVP!” from his teammates. It will not, however, help the Super Bowl MVP get his name announced as a starter in a very crowded linebacker group. Further, early indications are...
So many factors contribute to which players are chosen to fill out the bottom of an NFL roster that being exactly right is pretty darn tough. Special teams play, use of injured reserve and PUP to stow away players, a player coming free from another team that is higher on...
It is no secret that the Seahawks won the Super Bowl thanks in large part to Pete Carroll’s coaching ability. He has proven to be one of the best defensive minds in NFL history while contributing to dominant defenses over four decades. He has become a championship head coach by...
It is always good to catch up with Davis Hsu and Scott Enyeart about all things Seahawks. We discussed every position group on the roster, and took our sweet time doing it. Sit back and listen to nearly two hours of in-depth Seahawks discussion and analysis. ***DOWNLOAD THE PODCAST***...
Logo by Kevin Gamache, Hammerhead Mike Holmgren used to always say that to win a championship, you needed your best players to play their best. Seattle did not have all their best back on the field Friday night, but the ones they did have were more than enough as the starters...
Benson Mayowa Mayowa was one of the stories of the 2013 pre-season. He was decent in practice, but shined in games. The coaching staff loved what they saw, and kept him stowed away on the roster the whole year in hopes that he could put on some weight and develop...

Four years of drafts under the Pete Carroll and John Schneider regime have led to 10 picks on the defensive line. That means one out of...
OFF THE CUFF That’s more like it Arceto Clark hauled in a catch down the sideline and was stopped suddenly by Earl Thomas, who popped the receiver and let him know about it. Clark flipped the ball in Thomas’ face and a little jawing ensued. Doug Baldwin was away from...
The energy level at camp yesterday was below my expectations, and got me thinking of who the guys were who brought the most energy each day to practice this year compared to last year. It is not scientific. These are just my observations, but the exercise was revealing, so I...
OFF THE CUFF Energy level below Seahawks standard Seattle returned to the field after their first pre-season loss in over two years and largely appeared to be going through the motions. A hallmark of Seahawks practices is the pace and passion on display. Music blares. Pete Carroll jogs and throws...
The Seahawks and Broncos combined for 113 plays and 574 yards in last night’s game. They also combined for 25 penalties and 226 penalty yards. That means a staggering 28.3% of the yards gained in that game were courtesy of an officials flag. They were not alone. The 49ers and...
