It’s been a sleepless night after watching my 9-year-old’s little league team fall one game short of the championship, so I’ve been trolling around the InterWeb and stumbled upon this blog post over at the TNT regarding Seahawks RBs. Williams perspective seems like the predominant one around Seahawks beat writers...
Every Seahawks fan is buzzing about the draft this past weekend. Nearly everything seemed to go our way. Being a “human level” that I am, I always find myself looking for a countermeasure to any extreme. If something goes horribly wrong, there is almost always a positive side effect if...
A few meta-learnings about our new front office: 1) Pete Carroll will not just pick guys he is familiar withThis may seem like a small thing, but remember that both Holmgren and Ruskell had a habit of trading with teams they had a former relationship with, and taking players who...
A few weeks ago, I tried to sum up what the Hawks needed to leave this draft with, and it wasn’t short list. Let’s take a look: 1 starting caliber offensive tackle [Okung – CHECK PLUS]1 offensive playmaker (this could WR or RB) [Tate, Leon Washington – CHECK PLUS]1 starting...
I see we’ve swapped 4th round and 6th round picks with the Titans in order to acquire LenDale White and DT Kevin Vickerson. My first reaction when I read the news was excitement. White is a former 2nd round draft choice who has rushed for 1000 yards in a season...
It’s hard to argue with the quality of talent the Seahawks have added after two days. Each of the three players selected has a chance to be a significant contributor to the Hawks for years to come. Okung and Thomas were such obvious choices, it was hard to really gauge...
Russell Okung and Earl Thomas seem like players that will start for the Seahawks for the next 5-10 years and have Pro Bowl potential. If that turns out to be true, this was a successful first round. That said, my immediate reaction to the first round was disappointment that we...
I remain convinced the Seahawks will attempt to trade down from #14. It wouldn’t completely shock me if they trade down from both #6 and #14, but if the right franchise lineman is available at #6, it’s unlikely they will pass him up. Earlier, I made the case for Ryan...
I first fell in love with Ryan Mathews at the NFL combine. I was watching so that I could see CJ Spiller run, but Mathews is the guy that jumped off the screen to me. He was solidly built and ran a blazing 4.45 for his size. His demeanor was...
It appears a trade of Brandon Marshall to the Seahawks is imminent. Marshall signed his tender today for a salary he would not play for. The Seahawks are the only team that has even invited Marshall for a visit. Pete Carroll said the Seahawks are “on alert,” just waiting for...
News broke yesterday that LeRoy Hill was on the wrong side of the law again. This time hurting others, not just himself. I got to wondering about whether his second transgression in less than two years would trigger suspension, and that’s when the sad reality hit me. It doesn’t really...
I’ve already made it clear that I think acquiring a selfish, cancer like Brandon Marshall is not a wise move at any price. However, since the rumor will not die, I started wondering this morning if a couple of Seahawks moves indicate this move is coming on draft day. Everyone...
