PRIMER Power rankings are always debatable. I don’t buy into the gut feel methods most places use to determine their rankings, so I developed a formula a few years back that attempts to take at least some of the subjectivity out of the discussion. My approach is simple, I measure...
News broke today that Marcus Trufant was put on injured reserve, ending his season due to a back injury. Given Trufant’s age, injury history, and contract status, it is safe to assume he will not pull on a Seahawks uniform again. Trufant has been a very solid Seahawk, and deserves...
To Suck, Or Not To Suck is a series exploring whether franchises have a better chance of winning a Super Bowl by suffering through some terrible seasons to get higher draft choices, or whether winning begets more winning. Each article will look at this question from a different angle. All...
Are you one of the fans that finds yourself conflicted about whether the Seahawks are better off winning this year or losing? Maybe you subscribe to the belief that mediocrity begets mediocrity. Teams that lose big get the highest draft picks, and any one of those picks can turn around...
Tim Ruskell’s name makes my teeth clench. He did more damage to the Seahawks franchise than Bill Leavy, Ken Behring, and Etric Pruitt combined. Nearly every personnel decision he made was wrong, and by the time he had cursed the team into position for a #4 overall draft choice in...
After trading glances across Twitter, Dave “Softy” Mahler and I did the first of what we hope is a series of conversations about the Seahawks. Mahler is a good guy who grew up in the area, and a passionate fan along with being a long-time radio host on KJR 950....
Week six of the NFL season means players currently on the Physically Unable To Perform (PUP) are eligible to be added to the active roster. Teams will need to decide whether to add the players, place them on injured reserve or release them. Seattle has three players on their PUP...

There is no better way to spend a Monday night after a big Seahawks win than talking Hawks with friends. Scott Enyeart, who has coached High School and Division I football, and has ties to the Pete Carroll coaching staff joined me for a long conversation about the first five...
Much of the conversation today following the Seahawks upset victory over the Giants centered around the position Pete Carroll and John Schneider have arguably done the least to address, the quarterback. Sure, they traded for Charlie Whitehurst as their first move last season and signed Tarvaris Jackson this off-season, but...
Seattle had been in this situation before. After dominating much of the game against a favored New York team, they clung to a lead with the opponent perilously close to the end zone. A false start moved the opponent back to the five-yard line before a quarterback sneak on fourth...
Good teams judge their seasons by only one metric, wins. Great teams judge their seasons by one game, the Super Bowl. The 2011 Seahawks are neither good nor great, so their season must be judged differently. Four games into this season, the team is 1-3, but there are reasons to...
