Inconsistency can be a funny thing. It is often used when a person cannot detect any predictable pattern in a person or thing. The real question is whether there truly is no pattern to a person, or whether the observer is simply is unable to recognize the pattern. Tarvaris Jackson...
Ron Jaworski, of ESPN, has been ranking the Top 30 NFL quarterbacks the past few weeks. He chose to rate Matt Flynn as the Seahawks starter and put him at #27 on the list. Flynn enters training camp as the #2 quarterback on his own team. Jaworski is not alone...
There are a number of myths being promoted as facts regarding the Seahawks quarterback competition. Let’s tackle one at a time. MYTH: Tarvaris Jackson getting the first reps in training camp is meaningless There is a depth chart. There is a quarterback competition. The way Pete Carroll has structured the...
There are not many father and son combinations playing in the NFL. In fact, there may only be one, and it is on your very own Seattle Seahawks. The father, Richard Sherman, is the feisty fifth-round draft choice from 2011. He had his son out of wedlock. You could even...
It was a Pop Warner practice. Richard Sherman was a 9-year-old running back who shied away from contact, and he had just received more contact than he asked for during a tackling drill. It was the second time he’d been told to try and run through this bigger player, and...
It was just a few days ago that I had boldly predicted Tarvaris Jackson’s time on the Seahawks roster was winding down. Some new information has come to light that has me not only questioning that prediction, but whether Matt Flynn will be the starter. I don’t have time for...
Isaac is 11-years-old. He has been up playing the XBox for a few hours before I wake up. I walk by his room and notice he hasn’t made his bed. “Good morning, bud,” I say in a thin attempt to start off nicely. “Good morning, Dad,” he answers. Then, it...
We talk a lot around here about the fantastic transformation the Seahawks have gone through in the past few years. They have gone from one of the least talented, least inspiring, least intimidating teams to one of the most. Pete Carroll’s philosophies on competition have a lot to do with...
News broke today that the Seahawks violated new rules in the NFL collective bargaining agreement regarding player contact during organized team activities (OTAs), and will have to forfeit two upcoming practices as a result. My first concern was less about the loss of practice, and more that there was a...
It used to be that the best part of taking a jog was getting to load up my iPod with a bunch of Seahawks podcasts and listen to about 30-40 minutes of Seahawks coverage. The only thing better has been biking more often, which has upped the listen time to...
San Francisco has a historic season in 2011. They tied the NFL record for fewest giveaways, and piled up the 4th highest turnover differential (+28) since 1940. Few statistics have a higher correlation to wins than turnover differential, so it is worth looking into the chances that the 49ers could...
Imagine what the morning of March 15th, 2012 must have been like for Chris Clemons. He was probably eating his breakfast with ESPN on in the background when it got announced that Mario Williams signed a $100M free agent contract with guarantees totaling $50M. Clemons probably spit out his coffee....
