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...
Photo by: Anthony May The genius of John Schneider’s first three draft classes is undeniable. Each draft contained at least one Pro Bowl player, and is highly likely that each will contain at least one All-Pro player. There have been few comparable organic talent infusions in NFL history in such...

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...
Logo by Kevin Gamache, Hammerhead I hate losing. Losing a pre-season game means little. Losing the battle at the line of scrimmage means more. The Seahawks were run on and could not run. They gave up sacks, but had just one of their own. A staggering 17 players, including 4 of...
The whistle blows. The beer flows. You know. Seahawks football is back. The team plays the AFC West in the pre-season, as they always do, but there is a little something extra in this game between the Super Bowl opponents. Denver fans, players, and possibly even coaches, will be approaching...
There is no way to say this without being offensive to Seahawks players who suffered serious injuries before Michael Bowie, but this one is a biggie. There have been a series of players going down with season-ending injuries over the last week, and not just in Seattle, but Bowie becomes...
OFF THE CUFF Starting offense scores 3, Starting defense allows 3 The team scrimmaged for almost the whole practice today. They ran Russell Wilson and BJ Daniels against the second and third string defense, and Terrelle Pryor and Tarvaris Jackson against the starting defense. The mismatches were apparent on both...
OFF THE CUFF Eric Winston is starter material It has been only two practices. Michael Bowie has not yet gone a full practice. Justin Britt is a rookie who should improve with experience. All these are legitimate reasons to question whether newcomer Eric Winston will start the season as the...
