2024-12-0235 minSea Hawkers PodcastSeahawks Defense Stifles Cardinals, Eyes on a Geno Smith Revenge GameThe Seahawks jumped back up to the top of the NFC West this past Sunday with a 16-6 win over the Arizona Cardinals. We dive into the game and talk about the defense's outstanding performance that held James Conner to under 10 rushing yards and contained Kyler Murray. Leonard Williams made a significant impact, and the pass rush as a whole is pressuring at a rate that is difficult to believe. It wasn't the prettiest win though. With only 10 offensive points, we examines the Seahawks offensive struggles and we get into some of the theories around why it may take...
2024-11-281h 52Sea Hawkers PodcastThe Seahawks Defense Continues to Smother the OppositionThe Seahawks defense shines bright as they defeat the Arizona Cardinals 16-6 in a hard-fought divisional matchup. Coming off a tough loss to the Rams, Seattle's defense stepped up in a big way, holding the Cardinals to just six points. The defensive line was relentless, pressuring Kyler Murray and shutting down the run game, limiting James Conner to a mere 8 yards on 7 carries. Geno Smith and the offense had their struggles, but a key screen pass to Jaxon Smith-Njigba set up the go-ahead score. Despite some offensive hiccups, the Seahawks' defense carried the day, with standout performances from Leonard...

After Russell Wilson left following the 2021 season, the Seahawks have not been able to defeat the San Francisco 49ers. With Geno Smith's late game heroics, it led us to the reaction that we were looking for from Frisco fans. Doom! Talks about Kyle Shanahan deserving to get fired, star players getting too old, and playoff windows being closed -- we heard it all coming from our rivals to the south. The Seahawks defense was a huge part of the win. Several players had some of their best games of the season and it...
2024-11-211h 40Sea Hawkers PodcastSeahawks Defense Helps Save the Season Coming Off the ByeWith two unprecedented moves in the bye week, as the Seahawks started center retired and their leading tackler was waived, this felt like a pivotal moment in Coach Mike Macdonald's young coaching career. The offense shows some improvement and the defense stepped up in a big way against the Niners offense. Brock Purdy was limited to one of the lowest totals of passing yards in his career and Christian McCaffrey was held relatively in check. It all set up for Geno Smith to pick up another "stat" in the closing moments of the game. Looking for more...

2024-11-1726 minSea Hawkers PodcastSeahawks Look to Overcome Annoying Bye Week NarrativesIt's a milestone episode (or at least half of one) depending on how you choose to look at it. It will absolutely be a milestone worth marking if the Seahawks can manage to beat a 49ers team that has had the Seahawks number since Russell Wilson left. But is that where we should be counting from or can we start from the beginning of the Mike Macdonald era now that we have a new head coach? With the departure of linebacker Tyrel Dodson, John Schneider continues to get heat from fans, but is it deserved in this case?

Giants vs. Panthers game is one of the first matchups we look at and somehow AI believes Saquon Barkley could play a significant role. In the Patriots vs. Bears game, AI cites Bill Belichick's strategic prowess as a key factor in favor of the Patriots.

2024-11-1029 minSea Hawkers PodcastThe Seahawks Are Conceding the Line of ScrimmageThe play of the offensive line and turnovers by Geno Smith in Sunday's loss to the Rams brought a lot of questions about which aspect may be more to blame for the loss. We dig into some of the answers from Mark Schlereth and his opinion as a former Pro Bowl offensive lineman. Plus, the disparity of the Seahawks quarterback under center versus their opponent reached a season high. Would it help or hurt Geno and the Seahawks if they line up under center more often? Halfway into the Seahawks, we talk about how Seattle might consider...

In our live postgame reaction, we dive into the emotional rollercoaster that was Sunday's game. Despite a strong defensive showing, the offense struggled with turnovers, Geno Smith's three interceptions seemed to doom the team, but then he put together a comeback drive in the final two minutes of the game. We get into the debate over the decision to go for it in overtime instead of taking the points. We also highlight standout performances, including a strong game from JSN and the defense's ability...

We kick off the show by comparing it to one of the worst losses from Pete Carroll's first season as head coach as we discuss the broader implications of a lopsided defeat. Was this performance an indicator of deeper flaws? The Seahawks' struggles in the trenches continue, but we disagree on how to proceed. Should the team force a commitment to the run game or continue to stick with strategies that have brought success to this point? With the absence of DK Metcalf, it had an...

But it wasn't that long ago that Ernest Jones was playing for the division rival Los Angeles Rams. Now that two teams have moved on from Jones, is that an indictment on his play? Or were the Rams just averse to paying their former defensive captain because that is a position they historically don't give out big contracts to?

We break down the top plays and highlight the defensive turnovers that helped seal the win. Boye Mafe's standout play and Ken Walker, playing despite an illness, were pivotal.

Looking back to the game against San Francisco, the impact of turnovers and missed opportunities doomed the team.

From what might have been Geno Smith's worst game of the season to blunders on special teams, the Seahawks struggled to maintain consistency against a 49ers team that capitalized on Seattle's mistakes.

2024-10-0629 minSea Hawkers PodcastThe Seahawks offense has the potential to be unstoppableMonday night's game, which ended in a 42-29 loss for Seattle, was a rollercoaster of emotions. While there were offensive and defense lapses, the offense looked like they were going to find ways to get back into the game throughout the night. We talk about our mixed feelings about the game and the offense in particular. While the Seahawks' offense, led by Geno Smith, showcased some impressive plays, the defense struggled to keep up, allowing Jared Goff to complete a perfect 18 for 18. But was Geno's game better than Goff's "perfect" game? Especially considering the pressure he faced from the...

Key injuries along the defensive line limited the pass rush and allowed Jared Goff to have a perfect performance on the day. An early fumble by DK Metcalf put the Seahawks behind early, but in previous weeks we saw the defense help limit the points given up from mistakes on offense. In addition to the three touchdowns, Kenneth Walker had an incredible broken tackle that still has us in...

Can this be a team we see in the postseason, or is there more that we need to see in terms of resilience and growth over this next stretch of games? Even if these first three games don't have fans looking ahead to the postseason, the rest of the NFL isn't showing us that there are many complete teams. One mark of an elite defensive team is the ability to limit points (especially against t...

The Seahawks put up 17 points in the first quarter and looked like they were going to cost to victory while hammering the Miami Dolphins. It was only the defense that would dominate the next two quarters. When the Dolphins offense looked like it might climb within one score of the game, the defense turned them away at the goal line and the offense closed the game out. This week's episode dives deep into the game, highlighting our stellar defense that kept Miami at bay and the key offensive plays that secured the win.

Although many Seahawks fans would have been happy to accept a top two finish in the division, an emotional loss to the 49ers and a struggling defense has some fans looking ahead to a post-Pete Carroll future.

2022-12-231h 16Sea Hawkers PodcastThe Seahawks can't fix the run defense this seasonAfter the Seahawks were destroyed by the run game against the Carolina Panthers, it doesn't get much easier for the defense facing the San Francisco 49ers tonight. Pete Carroll was asked about what needs to be done to fix this team's ability to stop the run. Based on his answer, it is more of a personnel problem than scheme problem. Don't expect a fix this season. The Niners have been dealing with injury issues at quarterback, but they haven't seemed to lose anything with Brock Purdy at the helm. With Purdy fighting through injury, will we see...
2022-12-1553 minSea Hawkers PodcastThe Panthers are a Trifecta of Seahawks KryptoniteThe Seattle Seahawks survived a nail biter on Sunday with a win over the Los Angeles Rams. Geno Smith, DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett dominated the Rams secondary even with an offensive line that struggled against some of the Rams backups. Smith earned his first fourth quarter comeback with the Seahawks and DK earned his spot as perhaps the best receiver in the NFL. The game still shouldn't have been as close as it was, and part of the reason was to an interception call that made a great Bobby Wagner game even better. Adam has some thoughts on...

Was Bobby Wagner a force in this game? Sure, but Seattle got him at least twice in this game. There was another Rams defender, however, a brown-eyed, terminating force that put two Seahawks offensive lineman into the OUT column. A Seahawks player draws a flag and still gets an in?

There is one key stat that has led to a perfect winning formula for Seattle and it involves linebacker Cody Barton. Plus, what was Darrell Taylor thinking when he ran onto the field in the middle of a Quandre Diggs interception return? Looking ahead to...

With the loss to the Tampa Bay Bucs, they fall to 0-3 against the NFC South. We talk about what we want to see against the Panthers game in a few weeks to give us hope for the playoffs. If they hope to get there, there's one play that teams are going to continue to run against them until they figure out how to defend it. Could we see more man-to-man defense?
2022-11-191h 41Sea Hawkers Podcast390: Cardinals game is proof that Tariq Woolen has arrivedThe 2022 Seahawks rookie class has been impressive throughout the first half of the season, but cornerback Tariq Woolen may be the most impressive so far. Based on how the Arizona Cardinals approached Woolen and his performance against one of the league's top receivers, we can now say that the rookie has officially arrived on the NFL scene as one of the league's top corners after only nine career games. Ken Walker also delivered another impressive performance against Arizona, but can he do it against a Tampa Bay defense that has some big names in the middle of their defense?
2022-11-101h 29Sea Hawkers Podcast3 IN, 3 OUT: Uncle Will's Really Good WeekJust like every good baseball team needs a solid closer, the Seattle Seahawks may have found a player to help close out their wins with running back Ken Walker. However, as we dive into the nooks and crannies of this week's win, there might be one spot in the rookie's game in need of improvement. Michael Jackson came up with a soul crushing play on defense and Noah Fant had an impressive performance on offense. But when it came to Will Dissly, we had a hard time deciding if he came up more clutch in the blocking game or...

Although Tyler Lockett had a rough day, he was able to redeem himself in the end. There were moments on camera during the game and even after the game that shows just how close this team is growing together. Ken Walker didn't jump off the stat sheet, but he still jumped off the screen with his one touchdown run. The Seahawks defense completely shut down the Giants run game and were all over Daniel Jones early on when he tried t...

But was that good football overall? And how did it compare to the shootout we watched a few years back between the Chiefs and Rams? There is some optimism that the Seahawks may be able to turn things around defensively with a few players who were injured...
2022-10-061h 30Sea Hawkers PodcastSeahawks lack on consistency on defense is holding the team backThe Seattle Seahawks offense bounced back after six straight quarters of failing to score as we saw a unit that can at least put up points against sub-par defenses. Defensively for Seattle, it appears to be a different story. Are they a broken unit? Or can Pete Carroll and Clint Hurtt find a way to get the guys in position to at least stop the run? Seattle will give us a chance to help us answer those questions again this week as they go up against a very similar team to the Falcons. The Detroit Lions defense...

Geno Smith was efficient in the passing game, but Seattle was never able to run the ball effectively and got run over early by the 49ers offense. Was this game closer than the score indicated though? Or was the outcome indicative of a more dominant San Francisco team that now has a quarterback capable of taking this team into the playoffs? The Seahawks could face a tougher matchup that initially expected when we looked at...
2022-09-221h 40Sea Hawkers PodcastA win Pete Carroll really, really wanted for the SeahawksWe got an honest moment from head coach Pete Carroll this week and he freely admitted how much this game meant to get the win to kick off the season. However, in an interview after the game he did leave us guessing as to some of the reasons why it meant so much more. Either way, the Seahawks got the win over the Denver Broncos as the former Seahawks quarterback and it could have been much worse for Denver if not for a few key mistakes during the game. On the horizon now is the matchup with...

Run the ball no matter what and wait for the Cowboys to make a mistake. The problem was the one mistake they made was on their side of the field and the Seahawks couldn't capitalize unless they had a short field. Even when they had a short field in the third quarter, it took four downs and an incredible sideline catch from Doug Baldwin to put them in position for a touchdown. After the Baldwin catch...
