Take a look at the Seahawks schedule and you will see that 3 of the next 4, and 5 of the next 7 games are on the road. Games against 1-2 teams that were 1-15 the prior season are rarely deemed “must win,” especially when it is the fourth game of...
Ryan Burns of FootballSickness.com and Justin Stine of RamblinFan.com joined me for some NFL talk and an in-depth look at this weekends Rams/Seahawks matchup. Justin was forced to weather the Hawk Blogger initiation, but even after a kick to the Ramgina, he put on an excellent show. You’ll never guess who...
Chester Pitts will not play for the Seahawks on Sunday against the Rams. He may not play for the Seahawks on any Sunday after today’s release. The mishandling of the Pitts roster spot deserves a little mention considering how sparkling almost every other front office move has been. I wrote...
Some people were Housh haters during his time in Seattle. I was not one of them. I like his competitive edge and confidence. He appears to be struggling in Baltimore with only two catches through three games, and is now starting to talk again. He sounds contrite, but you have...
The Seahawks traded CB Josh Wilson for a conditional 5th round draft pick, that could become a 4th depending on Wilson’s playing time. For all the hand-wringing in Seattle about losing Wilson, he’s barely been able to crack the injury-riddled secondary in Baltimore. Seahawk fans need to be cheering for...
I reached out to Jeff Roman, editor of RamsGab.com, to find out his thoughts about the Seahawks and the Rams. We exchanged questions, and here are the results. To see the questions Jeff asked me, and my answers, take a look here. HAWK BLOGGER: I continue to read stories that the team is...
There is something a little odd about this game. The Seahawks have produced two of its worst football teams the last two years, but still managed to win every game it played against St. Louis. This Seahawks team is significantly improved since last season, but would appear to have less...
On any given Sunday in the NFL, any team can rise up and beat the other. When time allows, I will look at both how Seahawks loss and Seahawks win might play out in the upcoming game. Let’s start by exploring a potential loss. Forget the 1-15 season. Forget the...
A quick look at special teams rankings on the super-awesome-fantastic Football Outsiders site tells us that the St. Louis Rams special teams ranks 23rd in the NFL. The Seahawks are ranked 1st. Leon Washington is sure to get a lot of attention after this past Sunday, but Golden Tate had...
Most people now realize this is not the same St. Louis Rams team that we’ve seen the last few years. Sam Bradford has quickly become a league darling, and for good reason. It only took one half of pre-season football against the Patriots to convince me he is legit franchise...
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...
The best 60 seconds of my weekend occurred immediately after my worst five minutes. The Seahawks were clinging to a 20-12 lead with San Diego charging–pun intended–down the field for what would eventually be the tying score and two-point conversion. I had been screaming my throat into a nearly bleeding...
