Seattle boasts the most talented secondary in the NFL. They held opposing quarterbacks to a cumulative 74.8 rating last season. That means that quarterbacks playing against the Seahawks end up playing about as well as Colt McCoy on a typical day. It is even more impressive that they accomplished this...
Mitch Levy has been one of my favorite Seattle sports media members for many years. One of his best shows of the year is his annual prediction show where he asks the other radio personalities at KJR a series of questions, and gets their answer on record to sometimes congratulate,...
Imagine the way discussion leading up to Sunday’s Seahawks vs. Cardinals game would be different if it was the Steelers, 49ers or Ravens defense stepping on the field instead of the Seahawks. There would still be all the same questions about Russell Wilson starting his first game and whether Marshawn...
Bruce Irvin has rare speed for a defensive end. Even the draft experts that panned the Seahawks selection of Irvin in the first round freely admitted he was the best pure pass rusher in this draft. Yet, that speed was not enough to blow people away in the first three...
Dave “Softy” Mahler and I recorded a season preview podcast today. He thinks I’m drinking Kool-Aid. What say you? The podcast of our conversation is available: **download it here**...
Russell Wilson will become the first rookie to open the season as a Seattle Seahawks starter since Rick Mirer did it in 1993. The Seahawks opened on the road that year as well, versus the San Diego Chargers, and fell 18-12 in a game where Mirer went 20-27 for 154...
Word is trickling out that the injury Golden Tate suffered in the last pre-season game is going to keep him out a while. Danny O’Neil mentioned it in passing at the end his article today. A couple reliable sources outside the team have told me he has a high ankle...
The Arizona Cardinals suck. They traded for a quarterback who can’t win a job. They were forced to start John Skelton, almost by default, and injuries have already taken a big bite out of the already challenged offensive line. The Seahawks should win this game by simply boarding the plane...
UPDATE Alright, thanks for all the suggestions. Here is the plan: THE PLACE: Saddle Ranch Chop House ADDRESS: 9375 West Coyotes Boulevard, Glendale, AZ 85305 TIME: 9:30 AM (feel free to arrive earlier) I like to watch the early games before heading over to the stadium. If anyone arrives before...
Scouting the NFC West San Francisco 49ers It is easy for people to fall for the 49ers. They play smash-mouth football, have a new, young, head coach, and burst onto the scene with a 13-3 record last season. The harder part is looking below the surface. This was a team...
HAWK BLOGGER 2012 SEASON PREVIEW PART V: Breaking Down The Defense & Special Teams Defense – Starters Red Bryant – LDE Brandon Mebane – DT Alan Branch – DT Chris Clemons – RDE K.J. Wright – SAM (Strongside Linebacker) Bobby Wagner* – MIKE (Middle Linebacker) Leroy Hill – WILL (Weakside...
Russell Wilson has never run away from comparisons to Drew Brees. After all, Brees is Wilson’s idol. Nobody has argued with the idea that Brees is the high end of what Wilson could be as a quarterback in the NFL. What is not to like about a Super Bowl-winning, MVP-caliber...
