Despite the constant ragging on the now miserable Seahawks defense, it was not always this way. Only one team in the NFL was better at defending the run the first six games of 2010. We all know the story by now. Colin Cole and Red Bryant were injured in the...
Pittsburgh beat the Seahawks in the Super Bowl with no help from the referees. Walter Jones was overrated. Steve Largent was just a glorified possession receiver, not a Hall of Famer. Ken Behring always put the best interests of the franchise before his own. Qwest Field noise is piped in....
Colin Cole is a big man. The Seahawks need big men. It’s not often that a defensive tackle returning to the field is talked about as a key factor, but that is very much the case here. Not only does Cole’s return reduce opponents ability to run directly at the...
Each week I attempt to look at both sides of the upcoming game. Let’s take a look at what a Seahawks loss might look like. Alex Smith will once-again be fighting for his professional life. He is a better QB than Troy Smith, but may not be better at winning...
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...
It was 1st and 10 on the Carolina 39 yard line. The Seahawks had just gained 11 yards on a run around the left side. They dialed up another run, and this time, the play went for a whopping 18 yards but the running back was beaten badly on the...
Nothing gets people scrutinizing a team like losing four out of five games, including a few nasty blowouts. Rob Staton did a nice job exploring possible Seahawks draft needs after Sunday’s game. I questioned Lofa Tatupu’s future on Twitter and got some strong reaction on both sides. Pete Carroll’s job...

Mike Williams is 6’5″ and over 230 lbs. People have lauded his inspiring comeback effort where he dropped 40 lbs off his once-270 lb frame. As critical as his play on offense has been this season, nobody could fault Pete Carroll for having a truck load of Top Pot donuts...
There are must-win games during a season. Games that keep a season meaningful. Games that make the playoffs possible. Games that keep hope alive. The game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday is not one of those games. The Seahawks can still win their division and make the playoffs...
Kansas City deserves respect. The one game they were blown out (49-29 in Denver), they trailed 35-0 before outscoring the Broncos 29-14 the rest of the game. Take a look at the box score. The Chiefs out-gained Denver, and only had one turnover. Matt Cassell had QB rating of 116.0...
Each week I attempt to look at the approaching game from both perspectives. First, let’s take a look at what a loss might look like for the home team. Kansas City is being largely overlooked by many Seahawks fans and pundits. The common refrain is that KC is a game...
