Week 9 Picks: Eagles Continue Easy Schedule Vs the Jaguars Nov 03, 2024

Another week, another set of questionable NFL picks. From the Texans struggles to the Lions hot streak, we take a look at all the biggest matchups from the week. The Eagles continue their easy schedule against the Jaguars, and the Bengals are looking to get back on track against the Raiders. The Chiefs will very likely maintain their perfect record as they close out Week 9.

448: Evaluating the Seahawks 'Sunk Costs' Oct 31, 2024

Was this one of the most embarrassing Seattle Seahawks losses in recent history? 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 impact on the offense but it didn't impact the outcome.

We also get into the leadership dynamics within the team, after comments made by Richard Sherman and others about the perceived lack of leadership. The issue seems to be more about a lack of cohesive messaging rather than an absence of leaders. With the Los Angeles Rams game on the horizon, could we see rock bottom for the team or could this game serve as a turning point for the Seahawks this season.

In the second half of the show, we recap the worst weekend of the NFL season. Not only did the Seahawks lose big, every other team in the division picked up a victory. We talk about the meetup at the game and the results of last week's pickem league. Do better call outs go to a runner who survived disorientation in the woods for almost a month and to Anthony Richardson who survived shaking a tackler. Better at life honors go out to a former Seahawks player and to the Community Notes feature on social media that is helping to inform people about Skip Bayless' nonsense.

Seahawks and Bills Kick the Crap Out of the Seahawks Oct 28, 2024

The Bills flew across the country and beat the pants off of the Seahawks with a huge helping hand... from the Seahawks. A low in the Macdonald era and one we are going to want to leave in the rearview mirror.

But first, let's face the Bills Mafia music and discuss what went so, so so so so wrong.

Week 8 Picks: Going To Be A Perfect Week This Time Oct 26, 2024

We're geared up for Week 8 and ready for a perfect week of picks. We're locked in on our picks for Ravens vs. Browns and the Titans at Lions. With Deshaun Watson out, the Browns face a daunting Ravens offense, while the Lions look to dominate the Titans, despite Will Levis's mom's unwavering support for her son's team. We eventually get to some picks where we disagree in looking ahead to Jets vs. Patriots and the Falcons vs. Buccaneers. The episode wraps up with Monday Night Football predictions, and evaluating Russell Wilson's return to the Steelers.

447: Were the Seahawks Too Aggressive in Trying to Put Away the Falcons? Oct 24, 2024

Some big news to talk about this week to kick off the show as the Seahawks make an in-season trade for a linebacker from the Tennessee Titans. 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 also dive into the Seattle Seahawks' dominant performance against the Atlanta Falcons, highlighting Kenneth Walker's "flu game" and the first-half dimes from Geno Smith. As the Seahawks worked to pull ahead in the second half, was the team too aggressive in trying to deliver a killshot to the Falcons? We explore some of the 3rd quarter strategy the seemed to throw the offense into neutral.

With DK Metcalf potentially sidelined due to injury against the Bills, we talk about how Seattle's offense might adapt, with increased roles for players like Jake Bobo and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Will we start to see the team lean on their second best player more or will we try and see others deeper on the depth chart getting involved if DK needs a couple weeks of rest.

In the second half of the show we talk about some of the dominance along the defensive line from Byron Murphy. Is he having the type of impact on the defensive line that is allowing the team to remain undefeated with him in the lineup? We go from scolding a perfect week of picks from one team last week to celebrating a perfect this week. Congratulations to Danish Meadhawks on a perfect week of picks. Tune in to hear why a group of scientists need to do better for growing old seeds along with an account on X that may be giving out too much information on one of our Seahawks. A legend of Seahawks media passed away this week and so we close the show honoring what he did for the team and for fans.

NOTE: Nothing to censor in this week's show, so there won't be an UNCATFISHED version to release this week.

Seahawks Defense Closes With Turnover Triumph in Atlanta Oct 21, 2024

The Seahawks are back in the lead in the NFC West with a decisive 34-14 victory over the Atlanta Falcons, moving above .500 and showcasing what might be their most complete game of the season. 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. With turnovers finally swinging in Seattle's favor, the team capitalized on opportunities, and the defense was able to close out a win for our Seahawks.

Week 7 NFL Picks: Lovely . . . But Not Good Oct 20, 2024

The episode kicks off with Adam, slightly buzzed and home alone, sharing his thoughts on the Broncos vs. Saints game, and Cody Barton's unexpected performance. Getting into this week's matchups, we start with the Jaguars vs. Patriots in London. At first, we think about taking our shot at each going 100% on picks this week together, but that option quickly derails from the start of the show. Stay tuned to hear how our pick'em league overlord dealt with one of her subjects picking against our Seahawks last week.

446: The Swinging Pendulum of the 2024 Seahawks Season Oct 17, 2024

After a whirlwind of three games in eleven days, we take a breath to dissect what went wrong and what can be improved with our Seahawks moving forward. Looking back to the game against San Francisco, the impact of turnovers and missed opportunities doomed the team. However, there remains the potential for a bounce-back game against the Falcons, as Atlanta struggled to hold off the Carolina Panthers last week.

What can the team do to help build their identity amid some of the challenges posed by having a new coaching staff. We talk about which issues are fixable and how the team can regain its footing. Going up against the Falcons offers an opportunity for a balanced offensive approach and the potential for Geno Smith to have a standout game with a limited Falcons pass rush (as long as Grady Jarrett doesn't have his regular breakout game against Seattle). With a mini-bye providing extra time for adjustments, there's hope for a turnaround and a return to the win column.

In the second half of the show, we talk about some of the latest injury news and whether or not we've gone too easy on Geno Smith by not criticizing him enough during his Seahawks tenure. We get into the numbers behind what we'd expect to see with Sam Howell on the field. Do better callouts go out to Lids and to "Fake Wendy." Better at life honors go out to Gus Swayze surprising a group of Tampa Bay Bucs fans and Adam dives into uncharted territory with his pick.

Week 6 Characteristically Whelming Picks Oct 13, 2024

We dive into our Week 6 NFL picks, despite being thrown off by the Seahawks' recent Thursday night game. From discussing the Jaguars vs. Bears matchup in London to analyzing the Commanders' challenge against the Ravens, we navigate through a variety of intriguing games. We ponder over whether the Packers can outlast the Cardinals and if the Texans will maintain their balance against the Patriots. The episode also features a special shoutout to our pick'em league winner, Hawk Van Dyke.

Seahawks Struggle With Inconsistency and Turnovers - Week 6 Postgame Reaction Oct 11, 2024

The Seahawks first matchup with a division rival ended in disappointment as Seattle fell 36-24 to the 49ers, marking a third consecutive loss. 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. We discuss the team's identity crisis, questioning whether the Seahawks are simply a bad team or if they can overcome their current woes.

445: Analyzing the Seahawks Offensive Philosophy and Defensive Execution Oct 08, 2024

How frustrating was the loss to the New York Giants? There are still elements of the game that have us scratching our heads. We get into the offensive struggles and the questionable play-calling decisions that are leading us to ask an important question: Is it a Ryan Grubb issue, or is Coach Mike McDonald more involved with the offensive philosophy than we have been thinking? We get into three things Mike said in the last two days that lead us to explore the philosophical approach of the Seahawks' offense and why it might be setting the team up for failure.

On the defensive side, the struggles appear to be more related to execution rather than philosophy. We take a look at the run game issues and linebacker performance, particularly focusing on Jerome Baker's "guesses." Despite the defensive struggles, does the offense bear the brunt of the blame for the latest loss? Special teams also come under scrutiny, especially after a blocked field goal that could have turned the game around.

Looking ahead, we preview the upcoming matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Can the Seahawks' defensive line capitalize on the 49ers' offensive line weaknesses and will the offensive line be able to slow down Nick Bosa and exploit the Niners' secondary? Plus, we're already seeing internal drama within the 49ers' locker room. Are Niners fans right that it is time to move on from their current coach? We suggest at least one recommendation. With a short week ahead, the Thursday night showdown will be another important test for our Seattle Seahawks.

Seahawks Stumble in All Phases Against Giants in Week 5 Oct 07, 2024

The Seahawks 29-20 loss to the New York Giants 29-20 was a complete team loss, with struggles evident in every facet of the game. From an offensive performance that failed to find footing in the ground game to defensive lapses and a critical special teams error, the Seahawks have a lot to clean up ahead of Thursday night's game against the 49ers. With a short week ahead and a pivotal divisional game coming up, can they find a way to bounce back? Join us as we break down the game, talk about some key mistakes and discuss how the Seahawks can turn things around. It may involve adding motivational devices into the play calling booth.

444: The Seahawks offense has the potential to be unstoppable Oct 04, 2024

Monday 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 Lions' defensive line, particularly Aidan Hutchinson.

Ken Walker's dynamic running style continues to be a bright spot for the Seahawks. He has shown that he needs to be an even bigger part of the offense throughout the game. We also look ahead to the Seahawks upcoming matchup against the New York Giants. We're looking to see how the team bounces back against an opponent that looks like they may struggle to put points on the board.

The Los Angeles Rams are struggling to keep points off the board with their defense. They dropped another game in the standings this week along with the Cardinals. Brock Purdy is looking a lot like Geno behind a mostly suspect offensive line and we'll be facing them next week. The refs from the game against the Lions need to do better, but maybe not for the reason you'd expect. Adam also spikes the football on an issue he saw coming years ago. Better at life honors go out to something we don't see as often in the political sphere and to a Seahawks player who should walk into the Hall of Fame.

Seahawks Defense Struggled in Every Way Versus the Lions Oct 01, 2024

The Seahawks got a 400 passing yard performance by Geno Smith and a three touchdown rushing performance by Ken Walker and they still lost by two scores to the Detroit Lions. 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 disbelief that he never touched the ground.

There were some audio issues this week, but we got them cleaned up here if you weren't able to catch it live on YouTube this past Thursday. We'll try and have these out before the games next week, but hopefully you can enjoy our after the fact picks and discover who we like for tonight's game between the Dolphins and Titans (which we won't be watching, because it's Seahawks football today!!).

443: Seahawks Remain Undefeated, But Are They Super Bowl Bound? Sep 27, 2024

The Seattle Seahawks are off to a fast start this season, and have a 3-0 record for the first time since their Super Bowl-winning season. 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 the bad teams) and that part of the team appears to be legit through these three games.

Looking ahead to the matchup with the Detroit Lions, it offers the Seahawks an opportunity for an early season signature victory - on the road on Monday Night Football. Geno Smith has put together some strong performances at Ford Field and we're going to look for that to continue against some questionable members of the Lions secondary. But can the offensive line hold up against one of the top pass rushers in the league right now? We'll see how offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb handles that test.

In the second half of the show, we take a moment to enjoy our status at the top of the NFC West while looking at the situation the San Francisco 49ers find themselves in. Could this be the start of the implosion that we've been predicting? The Cardinals had people thinking they were an offensive juggernaut, until they were shut down by the Lions defense. Do better call outs go to a betting site for having Seattle among their top destinations for a quarterback trade and to the Dolphins head coach. Better at life honors go out to an executive producer and to DK Metcalf for an honest moment in a press conference and dedication to improving on an area of his game that paid off this week.

Week 3 Postgame Reaction: Seahawks Defense Crushes Dolphins Sep 23, 2024

Our Seahawks have done it again! 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.

442: Geno Smith dials up the first Seahawks road victory of 2024 Sep 19, 2024

The Seattle Seahawks secured a 23-20 victory over the New England Patriots, pushing them to the top of the NFC West. This week, we get into the key moments that defined the game, breaking down Geno Smith’s exceptional day and the defensive plays that turned the tide in the Seahawks' favor. Geno put on a show, completing 33 of 44 passes for 327 yards and a touchdown, and receivers DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba also had strong performances and DK's 56-yard touchdown standing out as one of the game’s biggest highlights.

Ryan Grubb's scheme opened up opportunities for JSN throughout the game, which helped offset a lack of a dominant running game. We discuss whether or not this was a one-time thing, or if we're starting to trend toward a full-on passing offense when Ken Walker isn't in the backfield. Defensively, the Seahawks racked up 21 total pressures and three sacks. Boye Mafe, Leonard Williams and Byron Murphy were disrupting the Patriots’ offense, while Julian Love’s key block of a field goal attempt and his work in run support helped the Seahawks stay in the game. Special teams also came up big, with Jason Myers knocking through three crucial field goals and Dee Williams delivering a strong punt return.

The Miami Dolphins are up next. Can Skylar Thompson take over for Tua and be the backup quarterback that ends up delivering the type of performance that Seahawks fans dread? It's going to be another big test for the Seahawks to stop De'Von Achane who could be catching a lot of short passes out of the backfield.

In the second half of the show, we celebrate the Seahawks atop the division with the 49ers falling to the Minnesota Vikings and the Rams falling to the cellar in the NFC West. We shout out some of the flockers we ran into during our trip to Boston, and get a shoutout from a gathering in Sweden. We fight narratives in the football world and in space in the Do Better segment. A TikTok star, YouTube and the NFL all share the stage in this week's Better at Life.

Seahawks vs. Patriots Week 2 Overtime Reaction: Live and UnCatfished Sep 16, 2024

DK, JSN, and Geno did most of the heavy lifting on offense this Sunday. We had a case of the dropsies, couldn't run the ball effectively, but we got the big stops when we needed and our Seahawks exited Foxboro with a 23-20 W to go to 2-0 on the early season. On the defensive side, the Seahawks had a mixed day. While they struggled to contain the Patriots' run game, they excelled with the pass rush and limited the Patriots' passing attack. Hunter Henry was a thorn in their side early on, but the Seahawks' secondary, led by Riq Woolen and Devon Witherspoon, held strong against the Patriots' wide receivers. Julian Love came up big on multiple occasions. Not only did he block a field goal, he was responsible for some big tackles in the secondary.

441: Second half comeback clinches Coach Macdonald's first Seahawks victory Sep 12, 2024

New Head Coach Mike Macdonald didn't have to wait long to get his first regular season victory taking down Sean Payton and the Denver Broncos in the home opener. Offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb's halftime adjustments led to a more aggressive ground game and helped set up a more successful passing attack. Interceptions by Julian Love and Riq Woolen rattled rookie Box Nix and helped play key roles in the win.

Looking ahead to the matchup against the New England Patriots, stopping their run game will be a priority. DK Metcalf faces another tough matchup lining up across from Christian Gonzalez. But the Seahawks secondary should dominate once again against a questionable Patriots receiving group.

In the second half of the show, we take a look at the performance of the Rams and the 49ers. Despite sustaining multiple injuries on the offensive line and at wide receiver, the Rams still managed to take the game to overtime. Reach out to us via social media, getintheflock.com or our Discord as we head out to Boston for the matchup this week. To close the show we talk about the field conditions around the league and the Patriots Week 1 celebration. Better at life honors go out to Coach Mike for picking up his first win for the team.

The Seahawks soar after second half offensive adjustments Sep 09, 2024

From Tyler Lockett's game-sealing one-handed catch to Kenneth Walker's dynamic second-half performance, we cover some of the biggest highlights from the Seahawks 26-20 victory over the Denver Broncos. While the defense was borderline dominant the entire game, the offense found a rhythm in the second half by shifting toward the run game. On defense, Julian Love and Tyrel Dodson were flying all over the field while Riq Woolen came up with a clutch interception at the end.

The New England Patriots are up next and coming off an upset victory over the Bengals. Did we see the real Patriots or was it just a fluke? That'll be something we'll get into more toward the middle of the week.

Can the Broncos Kick the Let's Ride Curse? (Brandon Perna, That's Good Sports) Sep 06, 2024

If you're a Seahawks fan, you may be familiar with That's Good Sports and the series, The Worst Game Ever followed by multiple "New" Worst Game Ever shows on YouTube. Brandon Perna joins us to learn the origin of the Let's Ride Curse and preview the Week 1 matchup between the Seahawks and Broncos. What aspect of the Broncos should Seahawks fans be most concerned about? We discuss rookie QB Bo Nix and what success would look like for him to start the regular season. Will the curse continue, or can we call a truce after That's Good Sports hit our team with the curse wheel last season? We get into all of it on this week's preview show.

440: The Seahawks found a way to make us more hyped for the 2024 NFL season opener Sep 04, 2024

The wait is over! The 2024 NFL season is here, and we're kicking things off with our focus on the Seattle Seahawks Week 1 matchup against the Denver Broncos. The offensive firepower of Kenneth Walker and DK Metcalf under new offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb have us particularly excited after watching the first team offense in the preseason. We thought we couldn't be more hyped for the start of the season. But it turns out there was an announcement this week that has us even more excited to see our team on the field for the home opener.

What will the debut of rookie quarterback Bo Nix look like against the Seahawks new defensive strategies under Mike Macdonald? Will Grubb's strategy lean towards a high-octane passing game or will he balance it with a powerful ground attack? These are just a couple of the questions that we explore. Plus, a look at which Seahawks were signed to the practice squad after the 53-man roster was set last week.

In the second half of the episode, we talk about two lists that had some of us riled up to close out the preseason. It's also pick'em season! Go to seahawkerspodcast.com and click the link there to join us. Our league overlord makes an appearance to start the season to explain a couple of the important rules, plus the consequences for not following her orders. Do better call outs go to the media for always leaving the NFC West out until the end of coverage and to the coverage of an attempted robbery of a rookie wide receiver. Adam has an announcement about being wrong in his Better at Life segment and a former rival appears to be changing his stripes during his media appearances.

The wait is over! The initial 53-man roster has been announced, and the latest episode of the Sea Hawkers Podcast is here to break it all down for you.

Explosive first-team offense highlights the Seahawks final preseason game Aug 26, 2024

The Seahawks wrapped up their preseason with a thrilling 37-33 victory over the Cleveland Browns. We dive into the highs and lows of this high-scoring affair. Geno Smith and the starting offense displayed lightning-quick efficiency of their opening drive. Geno's precision, especially his connection with JSN, and his recognition of one-on-one coverage with the DK Metcalf touchdown has us all intrigued for the first week of the season.

Despite some concerns, like the injury to Uchenna Nwosu and the penalties that marred the game, there were plenty of positives. Kenny McIntosh's 56-yard scamper and D'Wayne Eskridge's punt return showcased the scoring potential. On the defensive side, Jarran Reed's sack, facilitated by Leonard Williams, was a top highlight.

439: The Seahawks (Backup) Quarterback Battle is Over Aug 23, 2024

Seahawks fans saw glimmers of potential from both quarterbacks in Week 1 of the preseason. But in Week 2, one quarterback clearly stood out between the two. We dissect the play of Sam Howell against the Titans and talk about where the depth chart stands among the three quarterbacks on the roster. Other position battles are a key focus of the episode. We discuss the competition on the offensive line, particularly between Anthony Bradford and Christian Haynes.

Are Jason Myers' struggles on extra points a cause for concern going into the regular season. If Myers is familiar with playing golf, we have some tips that we think could help him because he's been perfect when kicking his field goals. Defensively, the standout player has been Derek Hall, who has shown significant improvement and strength. We also talk about the Tyrice Knight and his potential as a fourth round draft pick.

In the second half of the show, we talk about the news that Bo Nix has been named the starter for Week 1 of the regular season. However, there is still no news regarding some of the contract holdouts for the Niners. We call out the Chargers social media team and the analysis of Geno Smith's social media posts. Better at Life honors go out to Coach K and Pete Carroll.

438: Seattle Seahawks 2024 Season Expectations Aug 17, 2024

Get ready for the Seahawks 2024 season with all the insights you need in our annual season expectation show! We break down each position group, and discuss the impact of the new coaching staff. From Geno Smith's potential comeback player of the year chances to the dynamic wide receiver trio of DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Running backs also get their fair share of attention. Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet are expected to be dynamic forces in both the running and passing game.

Defensively, the excitement continues starting with the defensive backs and the top corners in particular. The linebacker group, while a bit more uncertain, shows some promise. The defensive line, however, is where the most potential for dominance exists. '

In the latter half of the show, we talk about some of the changes we've seen with the new coaching staff and how some fans are approaching those differences. Do better call outs go out to Facebook/Meta and to a writer who is in the pocket of all-you-can-eat deals. We close out Better at Life honoring an 11-year-old for his football skills. Plus, a member of the flock joins in to thank the Seahawks and USAA for a unique training camp experience.

Seahawks Defense Dominates in Preseason Opener Aug 11, 2024

The Seattle Seahawks kicked off their preseason with a bang, securing a 16-3 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. Winning is better than losing (even in the preseason), especially when it comes with such a dominant defensive performance. Special teams also had their moments in the spotlight. Michael Dickson was in mid-season form, delivering some impressive punts, including one that pinned the Chargers down at their own two-yard line.

On the offensive side, Sam Howell took the reins for the first half and part of the second, completing 16 of 27 passes for 130 yards and a touchdown. The running game saw Kenny McIntosh and George Holani competing for the third-string job, with McIntosh finishing with eight carries for 40 yards and Holani six carries for 24 yards. We also get into the performances on defense, as rookies D.J. James and Byron Murphy had standout plays for the Seahawks.

Seahawks Nab HUGE Center-Piece - Connor Williams to Seattle! Aug 07, 2024

We're breaking down the news of Connor Williams signing with the Seattle Seahawks! From the impact of adding a Pro Bowl-caliber center to the roster, to how it will benefit the offensive line and key players like Geno Smith and Kenneth Walker. We get into Williams' history, his transition from guard to center, and his impressive performance with the Dolphins despite injury setbacks. Could this move give the Seahawks the edge they need to contend in the NFC West?

Mystery Mike Macdonald: How he's preparing the Seahawks for anything Aug 05, 2024

Everyone Remain Calm!! (Geno Smith Update) Aug 03, 2024

Preseason football games have officially kicked off. While the Hall of Fame game might not have caught everyone's attention, the buzz around the Seahawks' training camp certainly has. We dive into the latest news from camp and the relief of dodging a major bullet with Geno Smith's injury scare. While some initial reports suggested that Geno was "out indefinitely," Adam Schefter's report on Friday provided some relief.

437: San Francisco 49ers - Know Your Rival 2024 Jul 30, 2024

Despite reaching the NFC Championship game four out of the last five years and making it to two Super Bowls, the 49ers have yet to secure a championship ring. In the third and final episode of the 2024 Know Your Rival series, we break down the 49ers' playoff woes, Kyle Shanahan's legacy, and what to expect this season. Will the Seahawks or Rams find a way to overtake the Niners and win the division? Can the 49ers overcome their history of choking in big games?

We discuss many of the 49ers' offseason moves, particularly the changes on their defensive line. The loss of key players like Eric Armstead and Javon Kinlaw could be a significant blow, especially when combined with the aging roster. The hosts discuss how these changes might affect the 49ers' ability to dominate in the trenches.

In the second half of the show, we talk Seahawks training camp and the lack of news around the signing of Connor Williams. Byron Murphy was involved with thwarting an online extortion scheme, which could prove to be useful if we deploy it against our division rivals. Do better call outs go to Brock Purdy and the NFL Network, while Better at Life honors go to scientists for their new findings about Mercury and to a Mariners fan for unselfishly giving up a milestone baseball to a rival.

436: Los Angeles Rams - Know Your Rival 2024 Jul 17, 2024

For Seattle Seahawks fans, there's a special kind of 'sports hate' reserved for the Los Angeles Rams. In the latest episode of our Know Your Rival series, we break down everything you need to know about the Rams from coaching and personnel changes to some of the hype surrounding their upcoming season. Can the Seahawks new Head Coach Mike Macdonald solve Hair Gel McVay's offense? At the very least, now that Aaron Donald has retired, it should make scoring points on a weakened LA defense that much easier.

In the second half of the show, we discuss Jamal Adams and his new home, plus the date and opponent of the throwback jersey game has been announced. Some nearby woodpeckers and an entire town both need to Do Better. Finally, Better at Life honors go out to a legend of his industry who recently passed away and to Slate for putting a spotlight on "window seat wasters."

435: Arizona Cardinals - Know Your Rival 2024 Jul 09, 2024

It's Know Your Rival season and we are kicking things off with a deep dive look at the Arizona Cardinals. Despite some potentially smart draft picks, the Cardinals' decision to stick with Kyler Murray and a difficult start to their 2024 schedule may doom their chances in the NFC West. But that wouldn't be anything new to the franchise. How does the Cardinals roster stack up? While they've made some major changes by jettisoning long-time veterans, could they still make a significant leap.

In the second half of the show, we talk about potential ownership changes for the Seahawks and have some fun with hypothetical presidential tickets that includes a former member from the Legion of Boom era. Callouts to do better go out toward a nonsensically vindictive state politician and a current NBA player. Tune in to find out why Gardner Minshew and the Seahawks organization are "Better At Life."

Do Seahawks Fans Want Russell Wilson in the Hall of Fame? Jul 01, 2024

Before Russell Wilson left Seattle, he appeared to be on a trajectory toward the Hall of Fame. Nine Pro Bowl seasons, two Super Bowl appearances and a championship put him into some elite company among NFL quarterbacks. But is his Hall of Fame candidacy now in jeopardy due to his recent seasons? And how do fans really feel about his legacy in Seattle? Some fans refuse to place him on their Mount Rushmore of top Seahawks players. Is this refusal purely analytical or is it based on emotion? If Russ doesn't belong among the team's top four, do some Seahawks fans even want him in the HOF?

434: Dreaming about a Seahawks offensive explosion Jun 07, 2024

Seahawks OTAs wrapped up this week and we had a chance to hear from a few players on offense, as well as our new offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb. We heard a consistent message from players like Geno Smith, Pharoah Brown and Sam Howell about the offense being "quarterback friendly" which translates into a lot of downfield throws. But Grubb's message was a little bit different in talking about play action and having to adjust from the college to the professional game. Can both these things be true or is something missing?

We also picked up on a trait that stands out from Coach Grubb in his transition from college to the NFL. It's a personality trait that a lot of the failed college coaches don't seem to have. We learned this week that head coach Mike Macdonald has dreams about some of his Seahawks players, and he made a tactical decision to avoid naming names. Jay Harbaugh talked extensively about the new kick off rule and we're here to talk about the highlights (we may even want to talk about this more on future shows).

In the second half of the show, we have an announcement regarding the games we plan to meet up with the Flock at during the 2024 season. We're looking at going to at least one road game and one home game. We call out a writer at CBS for a trade strategy that doesn't make much sense for the 2024 season and a national chain for randomly inserting themselves into random transactions. Better at life honors go out to a GPS company and for a moment from Mike Macdonald that made us say, "That's our coach!"

Seahawks OTAs: New Leader Emerging for the Seahawks Defense? May 28, 2024

OTAs are underway and the Seahawks sent Geno Smith, Rayshawn Jenkins, and Multiple Mike to the podium to share updates and impressions from the early days of the Macdonald era. What were the biggest clues? Does Macdonald actually like Geno or is he dropping hints that Howell is a long term answer? And with a crowded safety room is Rayshawn an early chosen leader? We cover that and much more on this episode of the Sea Hawkers Podcast.

Seahawks Fans Are Feeling Playoff Vibes This Season May 20, 2024

A recent poll by SB Nation says that around 70% of Seahawks fans have expectations for the team to make the playoffs in 2024. As a first year head coach, is that a reasonable expectation for Mike Macdonald? What are some of the wild card factors that are playing into a potential Wild Card match? We also take a look at one of the reasons why fans should be excited -- because there aren't a lot of teams who should be considered a "playoff lock." It's such an open playing field that even the Chicago Bears with a rookie quarterback are favorite to make the playoffs.

Breaking down the Seattle Seahawks 2024 Schedule May 16, 2024

The 2024 NFL Schedule is out and that means we have at least 18 weeks of Seahawks football planned out for the fall. We give a mini preview of each week's slate of matchups before getting into what everyone really wants to know -- how the NFL is out to ensure our Seahawks get buried in the standings. While the schedule is front-loaded with a lot of home matchups, Seattle's opponents are getting consistently more days to prepare for their games. We also discuss which games should be circled on the calendar and where we want to see our throwback uniforms highlighted.

433: The 2024 Seahawks Draft Class - By the Numbers May 09, 2024

As the dust settles on the 2024 NFL Draft, we dissect the Seahawks' draft strategy and the potential impact of the new recruits. A post draft show means draft calls! We hear the players' reactions and we talk about the numbers they'll be playing in. What does each player need to do to become the greatest Seahawks player to wear that number. Can they do it?

In the second half of the show, we talk about our Rookie Minicamp takeaways and why Mike Macdonald might be acting like Pete Carroll's age when it comes to running a practice. Austin Rivers made some waves this week talking about how NFL players would fare in the NBA and vice versa. But which sport would be the most difficult for any professional athlete to transition to and which athletes have the best chance to make it in all other sports?

Do Better call outs go toward any writers still trying to trade the Seahawks best players and to a Niners Nation writer for hyping an odd signing for the 49ers. Tune in to hear why Better at Life honors go to John Schneider and to our listeners for helping us reach a big milestone.

Do the Seahawks have a Top 5 Draft and UDFA Class? May 03, 2024

EJ Snyder of Bootleg Football returns to the show to break down the Seahawks draft class from his perspective. Did the Seahawks have any other choice but to draft Byron Murphy with their first round pick? EJ reveals where he had Christian Haynes graded out as a "true guard" among his list of draftable guards. Tyrice Knight may have been a head scratcher for some, but it was not a surprise for EJ based on the types of things he was asked to do in college. We go through the Seahawks draft class including the undrafted free agent (UDFA) class and talk about some of the players we see as most likely able to make the team and if they may be a better fit at a different position from college.

Seahawks Draft for Need and Versatility with the 2024 Class Apr 29, 2024

The Seahawks 2024 Draft Class is set and there were a few common themes that jumped out from their draft strategy. First, this may have been the most need-based draft the Seahawks have produced in recent years. They picked guards that play guard, they addressed the defensive line and linebacker all within their first few picks. Second, with many of these picks, they talked about their versatility. Does it give us some clues about what they may have planned for the offense and defense? We run through each of the day 3 picks and talk about some of our overall thoughts on this year's class.

It's a lot easier to project where a player will play in the NFL when they start at one position their entire college career. Christian Haynes is simply a right guard who was a four-year starter at the University of Connecticut. We discuss his athleticism that stood out in his workouts as well as on the field and how his play could provide an immediate upgrade for the Seahawks in the screen game. Will he supplant Anthony Bradford immediately this year? Plus, we discuss a couple names we're going to watch for with the Seahawks next two picks in the fourth round.

Byron Murphy II, the top iDL of the 2024 NFL Draft, joins the Seahawks Apr 26, 2024

The top half of the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft skewed heavily toward the offense. Quarterbacks, wide receivers and offensive tackles made up the top 12 picks. Seattle stayed put as Byron Murphy II, the top interior defender in the draft, fell to them with the 16th overall pick. After taking Devon Witherspoon last year, the Seahawks have now taken the second defensive player off the board in back-to-back drafts. How will Murphy fit into a rotation that already includes Jarran Reed, Leonard Williams, Dre'Mont Jones, Johnathan Hankins, Cam Young, Mike Morris and Myles Adams?

2024 NFL Draft Quarterback Class: Where Should the Seahawks Jump In? Apr 24, 2024

Through the first three parts of our 2024 quarterback draft series, we've evaluated the top late-round picks all the way up to the QBs at the top of the draft. But where should the Seahawks get involved? It's possible at least four quarterbacks come off the board in the top 10. It could be even more, based on the number of QB-needy teams and the talent available. What would it take for the Seahawks to get into the top 10? If that's too spicy, would it be worth it to jump ahead of the Denver Broncos? Of course, John Schneider could just wait and see what shakes out -- then take one of the biggest sleepers among our top seven quarterbacks.

In the third part of our look at the quarterbacks in the 2024 NFL draft, we get into Adam's top three. With the focus primarily toward a QB's floor than his ceiling, the list ranks out differently than many might expect. While others are focused on playing off schedule, the ability to change arm angles and some of the 'wow' moments--we focus more on the things that make solid pro quarterbacks. How do Bo Nix, Jaden Daniels, and Drake Maye rank out? We discuss their strengths, weaknesses and potential in the NFL.

2024 NFL Draft Quarterback Evaluations: The Outsiders (Part 1) Apr 08, 2024

Throughout the years, even if the Seahawks have needed a quarterback or not, we like to go through the latest crop of NFL quarterback candidates and pick out our favorites. Adam's track record has been solid and rather than bury it in one of our flagship episodes, we're giving it it's own series. In part, because of the amount of depth in this year's 2024 class. We talk about the methodology for evaluating a quarterback, a couple of quarterbacks who may go late or undrafted, and where some of the other QBs may fit. This group fell outside of the Top 7 quarterbacks we'll be talking about on future episodes.

Draft month begins! Versatility may be the Seahawks theme Apr 05, 2024

The Seahawks signed a veteran receiver Laviska Shenault to the roster this past week. Should we read into the signing as to what may be in store for the Seahawks offense, or is he some insurance in case another receiver doesn't work out? John Schneider was on the radio this week and talked in generalities about the draft and based on his comments, we aren't likely to see any drastic changes in draft strategy. It's clear to fans the team could use a versatile offensive lineman early in the draft, but will the Seahawks general manager follow that same line of thought?

Should the Seahawks Stick and Pick at 16 Overall Apr 01, 2024

Happy Easter! We're dropping this delicious action green colored egg right into your baskets and stirring the pot. Adam and Clinton walk through why this year might be a supremely beneficial year to be picking at spot 16 as they debate what our Seahawks should do at 16 as well as what they think our GM will probably do. Blue eggs, blue chips, and Seahawks throwback blue dominate this episode.

NFL Rule Changes, Latest Seahawks News and Rumors Mar 29, 2024

The NFL passed some new rules this week around bringing the kickoff back into the game and taking out swivel hip drop tackles. Seems like a fair trade off. We're getting closer to having a sky judge with another rule change that, if it goes well, most of us won't even notice that it's working. General Manager John Schneider says the offensive line is a work in progress, but there isn't much that can be done to improve it apart from the draft. But the draft won't be able to fix the amount of inexperience on the line heading into the 2024 season. Coach Mike Macdonald says the defense needs a solid spine. That could be another area that could continue to be improved through the draft. Finally, the waffles versus pancakes debate should be over. But is it time to introduce a new entrant into the mix?

432: Grading the NFC West in Free Agency Mar 26, 2024

Now that the NFC West has passed through the first couple waves of free agency, we run down some of the biggest moves by the Seattle Seahawks competitors. Did the Los Angeles Rams win free agency by spending on the offensive line? Or are they the biggest losers because their Hall of Fame defender decided to pack up his locker and call it a career? The Arizona Cardinals have four new starters in the trenches. It would be bigger news if they were players you've actually heard of. Plus, they may have made the most boneheaded trade in the entire conference. Then there's the San Francisco 49ers. They're making some key moves, but they didn't do the one thing that could help them overcome a devastating Super Bowl loss.

We take a look at a few areas the Seahawks still need to address through free agency and the draft. Plus, we clear any confusion surrounding the role of Pete Carroll and the Seahawks organization moving forward. Mike Macdonald and John Schneider are working to clear up any confusion around which player is the starting quarterback between Geno Smith and Sam Howell.

In the second half of the show, the take a look at the proposed rule against hip drop tackles and some language that is important to identifying the types of tackles the NFL is trying to get out of the game. A Rams fan who doesn't understand the position of nose tackle and the Seahawks front office both land in this week's Do Better segment. We profile a Missouri-based company as well as a Montana-based organization for their Better at Life worthy actions.

2024 Seahawks Free Agency - What Holes are Left to Fill? Mar 21, 2024

In the past week the Seahawks made a move to fill a large hole in the defensive line. The addition of Johnathan Hankins adds some beef, but have the Seahawks done enough yet to satisfy all aspects of the trenches? They also added another linebacker and some safety depth. What do those additions mean to the overall strength of the team and their ability to improve the defense in 2024. Which signing has been our least favorite of free agency so far and what narrative around Sam Howell coming to the Seahawks has us concerned?

Seahawks trade for a QB, sign multiple free agents Mar 15, 2024

Days into free agency, the Seattle Seahawks have worked to try and fill holes at positions of need. They needed a backup quarterback with Drew Lock heading to New York, and now they have Sam Howell after swapping picks with Washington. George Fant is returning to the Seahawks, but will he be able to find his way into a starting role? Seattle signed a center/guard, a safety and a linebacker. Are they clear improvements or a sign of the franchise rebuilding? Plus they made moves to bring back Artie Burns, Darrell Taylor and D'Wayne Eskridge.

Rating the Seahawks 'Cupboards' Ahead of Free Agency Mar 08, 2024

We are days away from the start of the NFL's new league year and the beginning of free agency. Where do the Seahawks currently stand with players currently under contract? Seattle has depth at running back, wide receiver and cornerback. However, it's quite the opposite when it comes to tight end, interior offensive line and linebacker. Based on the areas where they're deficient, it should make it clear where they'll attack free agency and potentially the draft.

Jamal Adams, Quandre Diggs and Will Dissly cut ahead of free agency Mar 06, 2024

The Seahawks moved to open up salary cap space on Tuesday with free agency on the horizon. Jamal Adams was player many expected to be released considering his cap hit and injury history. We discuss why Quandre Diggs was cut despite years of selections to the Pro Bowl and if Will Dissly could possibly return. Could any other Seahawks players be next? Which Seahawks should John Schneider use the money to re-sign ahead of free agency? Adam, Brandan, Phil and Clinton all hop on at some point to discuss the moves.

EJ Snyder of Bootleg Football is back on the show after returning from the 2024 NFL Combine. He talks about the part of the combine that doesn't make it on the television ahead of the drill that begin on Thursday and how that drives some of the information that comes out of the week. Linebacker is a need for the Seahawks, so who were some of the standouts from his perspective as he had an up-close look at the athletes. On Saturday, we got to watch the quarterbacks throw. Who stood out? Could all five of the top QBs be gone by the time the Seahawks pick toward the middle of the first round? We discuss a few of the top options for Seattle.

Combine Beef with Aaron Donald Athleticism, Clarity for Geno and the Seahawks Mar 01, 2024

Athletic beef was on display at the NFL Combine Day 1. Florida State's Braden Fiske jumped off the screen with a performance reminding analysts of Aaron Donald! But he wasn't the only impressive soon-to-be NFLer making moves and starting grooves in Indy. Tune in to catch our thoughts on some of the biggest highlights from Day 1. And yet more news on Geno Smith came out today which leads Clinton to believe that Seahawks GM, John Schneider got a call from his boss to "clean it up!"

He talked about the new coaching staff, the impact of not having the staff at the combine, and what he looks for in evaluating quarterbacks. With regard to the quarterbacks, currently on the team, Schneider gave a dismissive and non-committal answer, but he followed up with some of the process that the coaches will go through during the week following the combine.

Position Groups to Watch at the 2024 NFL Combine (w/Seahawks Forever) Feb 27, 2024

Dan Viens of the Seahawks Forever podcast joins the show to look ahead at this week's NFL Combine. Which position groups is he most interested in for Seattle as we head into draft season? Considering the coaching change, have we seen the last of Bobby Wagner for the Seahawks? Saturday is generally the best day to watch in terms of offensive players, but the team needs for quarterback, running back and wide receiver are relatively low. Michael Penix is expected to throw, which is exciting considering the condition we saw him in following the National Championship. Finally, Dan thinks the Seahawks should take Mike Holmgren's advice on how to balance age vs experience when building a team.

Seahawks Restructure Geno Smith's Contract - What Does it Mean for the Future Feb 24, 2024

We dig into the numbers and discuss whether we can be more certain that Geno is our QB1 going into the 2024 season. Are Grubb, Schneider and Macdonald dropping any legitimate hints? Should they be hyping up Geno Smith more than they are? We discuss and debate the quarterback situation as the team moves ahead through the offseason.

431: Niners lose Super Bowl, Seahawks fill their coordinator spots Feb 19, 2024

A week after the Super Bowl and we're still celebrating a 49ers loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. For a third time, Kyle Shanahan has been involved in a game where he's been up 10+ points and lost. Despite reports of players not knowing the overtime rules and whether or not the 49ers took the ball first, does it even really matter? Did it even matter that the overtime rules have changed? It seemed like the 49ers were simply destined to lose that game based on several second half misfires.

The Seahawks new coaching staff is taking shape and we heard from Ryan Grubb, Aden Durde and Jay Harbaugh this past week. Which hire represents the biggest risk among the group and what are some common themes now that we see the leadership of the staff coming together? Geno Smith continues to be under contract, but is he here to stay for the long term? We discuss why we may be in for a couple months of Geno Smith trade talk leading up to the draft.

There are two former Seahawks entering the Pro Football Hall of Fame after last week's announcements. There are a couple members of the Legion of Boom who look to be a lock and one who could get snubbed based on how we've seen voting go historically. Plus, we announce this year's pick'em league champion! Pro Football Focus gets called out along with a list of the best Super Bowl halftimes in the Do Better segment. While Better at Life honors go out to a Bay Area headline writer and Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

Five Senior Bowl Players to Watch in the 2024 NFL Draft Feb 13, 2024

Last year the Seahawks drafted four players who we watched in the Senior Bowl, and it was five players the year before that. In fact, John Schneider has drafted a player from the college all-star game in each of his seasons has a general manager. So it makes sense to take a hard look at each of the players there who could be a potential fit for Seattle. EJ Snyder of Bootleg Football joins the show to talk about four players on defense and one offensive lineman who has already been mocked to the Seahawks with their 16th overall pick.

430: Potential new Seahawks coaches -- Thank you Pete Carroll! Jan 24, 2024

The Seahawks organization is searching for a head coach for the first time since 2010. We take a look at several names who have interviewed with the team and a couple other coaches who are linked to the team. We talk about what intrigues us, and what we don't like about: Cowboys Defensive Coordinator Dan Quinn (03:00), Rams DC Raheem Morris (03:13), Texans Offensive Coordinator Bobby Slowik (13:08), Lions OC Ben Johnson (18:00), Panthers DC Ejiro Evero (22:18), Raiders DC Patrick Graham (25:39), Dolphins OC Frank Smith (30:19), Giants OC Mike Kafka (33:13), Former Titans Head Coach Mike Vrabel (37:48), Ravens DC Mike Macdonald (41:02), and Michigan HC Jim Harbaugh (56:32).

In the second half of the show, we talk about Geno Smith's contract and what it means for coming back to the Seahawks in 2024. We take some emails and comments about Pete Carroll and what he meant for fans. Has the culture he developed become a "comfortable old shoe" in need of replacement? We talk playoffs and how the Detroit Lions need to 'Do Better' and how Sports Illustrated's website is now a pop-up ad farm. We close with Better at Life honors going out to the winningest head coach in Seahawks history.

Live & UnCatfished: The End of the 2023 Season Jan 08, 2024

The Seahawks closed out their 2023 season with a victory against the Arizona Cardinals. It was a game that played out like most games this season as the defense gave up a lot on the ground, and the offense was able to pull out a late game-winning drive. Because it was so much like every other game, it bridged toward a lot of discussion about how to move forward in the offseason and changes that need to be made in the offseason.

As the great Yogi Berra famously said... It's Deja Vu all over again. And our Seahawks are once again in need of a Week 18 win and help from the visitors to historic Lambeau Field to get into the playoff dance. We're examining the potential to "fix" the run defense, what Waldron can do to maximize our top offensive weapons, and will we be able to get Kenneth Walker enough attempts so we can once again play Pete Carroll football? A lot of possibilities to consider in what could be the final 'What If' of the season.

429: Your Word of the Day - Jellied Jan 04, 2024

There's a crude joke from many years ago that led to a word often used on the show for a dominant run performance. The Seahawks were 'jellied' by the Steelers this past Sunday and on top of ruining a potential playoff berth, it's also one of the worst ways to lose a football game. The loss highlights an issue that has continued to show up on defense throughout Clint Hurtt's time as the defensive coordinator. Is it a coordinator issue or is it a problem that goes all the way to the top?

Fortunately (or unfortunately) the Seahawks will be tested by a similar running game this week in the Arizona Cardinals. The NFC West rival is coming off a win over last year's conference champion and it offers an opportunity to highlight the difference in coaching versus player performance. Can the Seahawks bounce back after a loss and put the team in a similar position as last year? Will we be cheering on the Bears to victory in hopes our Seahawks can make the playoffs?

After the break we talk about a popular name expected to re-enter the NFL coaching ranks and how unlikely of a fit it would be for the Seahawks. We discuss the potential of a civil war brewing within the show. Which side gets the best caterer? We call out the Seahawks general manager for a missed opportunity recently and to the writer of a Seahawks blog. Better at life honors go out to an elite comment from a Browns player and to the Washington Huskies for their title run.

3 IN, 3 OUT: No Time for Nuance Jan 03, 2024

Sometimes it's a game of inches. Not this time. Brandan and Clinton ditch the nooks and crannies and talk about five major topics from this last game vs. the Steelers with a healthy dose of looking ahead to both our game vs. the Cardinals and the help we need from the Sausage kings of Chicago... Daaaaa Bears.

Live & UnCatfished: Steelers build using the Titans blueprint Jan 01, 2024

For the last three weeks of Seahawks football, it was apparent to anyone watching that they were struggling in the trenches. Just last week the Titans nearly got the win by being able to dominate Seattle in the run game. The Pittsburgh Steelers saw that and took full advantage of it in their 30-23 victory over Seattle in Week 17. The Steelers secured another winning season for their head coach Mike Tomlin and it puts into question whether or not Pete Carroll will be able to lead Seattle to a winning season. The blueprint is out on the Seahawks defense and the Cardinals have the capability to use it coming up in Week 18. 3

PNW Prop Stars: Seahawks Props to Ring in the New Year Dec 30, 2023

The last few Seahawks and Steelers games have been low scoring affairs. Will the trend continue as the two teams face off? The guys stay away from the receiving props this week for the most part and stick to more of the ground-based milestones. Is there a major discrepancy in the prediction for how many carries the Steelers top running back should get? We did into some of the primary matchups and how we expect the game to play out as the Seahawks look toward a potential playoff berth. Happy New Year to all!

What If?... Seahawks Fans get a New Year's Wish Dec 29, 2023

Our Seahawks take on a hard-nosed team that wants to run the ball and attack the quarterback. Will the Steelers be able to get Najee Harris going? Will T.J. Watt have his way vs. Abe Lucas and company? We ask, "What if we make a wish for the New Year?" What would this game look like? We talk about players we would like to succeed (and perhaps get some revenge on their former steelers team) as well as the opposing playmakers who our Seahawks need to stop.

Could we see a Russell Wilson reunion in 2024? Dec 29, 2023

Russell Wilson appears to be on his way out of Denver. Is there anything that could make a reunion in Seattle possible? Based on some commentary about Wilson's 2024 contract, the relative cost could be appealing, but would it be worth it? Is Russell Wilson still a starting quarterback or a high level backup. We discuss what it would take for a reunion to be possible in Seattle and if it's something that we would even want.

428: The Consequences of Inconsistency Dec 28, 2023

In the 20-17 win against the Tennessee Titans, we saw some of the inconsistencies of the season continue. Fortunately, it still allowed for the Seahawks to get the win and part of that was attributed this past week to the amount of time Pete Carroll focuses on the two-minute offense. There's one aspect of the late-game offense that is different and Pete was asked this week why the team leads the league in throws to the sidelines. The answer was not satisfactory.

There are two big matchups to watch coming up against the Steelers on Sunday. Mike Tomlin is also looking to continue a career milestone that is coming down to the final two games of the season. Mason Rudolph is set to get the start in place of Kenny Pickett after putting up 30+ against the Bengals. We discuss what went into the Steelers success last week.

The Seahawks do have an opportunity to clinch a playoff spot this Sunday. Even though it only involved the outcome in one game apart from the Seahawks, it's not a very likely outcome. Plus, should we be lobbying for the Niners to get the top seed? We talk about the latest Russell Wilson news in the Do Better segment along with some frustrations with a Mac update. Better at life honors go out to one of the FCS Championship teams and to the Seahawks for coming out way ahead on one of the biggest front office moves in team history.

3 IN, 3 OUT: Comeback Kids Win in Nashville Dec 27, 2023

If you think winning is better than losing and you're still riding high from another comeback win (this time on Christmas Eve), well, welcome in ... you'll love this episode of 3 IN, 3 OUT. We're praising the interior d-line for getting after the Titans quarterback and discussing how our wide receivers continue to be clutch when it matters most. On the flip side, some free-runners near the goal line had both Clinton and Brandan shaking their heads.

Live & UnCatfished: Colby Parkinson Saves Christmas! Dec 25, 2023

Both the Seahawks offensive and defensive lines struggled against a more physical opposition for most of the game. Derrick Henry reminded us that he could still be the same guy who was as tough to bring down as in previous matchups. Fortunately, the Seahawks reminded us that if they have a shot to win the game in the fourth quarter that they're going to take it. After being knocked back from the goal line on a second down run, Geno Smith found Colby Parkinson in the end zone. Despite being mugged, Parkinson came down with the go-ahead touchdown. Finally, with the Titans able to take one last shot to get into field goal range, Riq Woolen made a heads up tackle to run out the final seconds of the clock.

PNW Prop Stars: Seahawks Studs vs. Titans Flubs Dec 24, 2023

The boys are back! Wilson won the week vs. the Eagles and the Boy Prince looks to increase his lead in Week 16. Clinton enters go big or go home time and is betting a certain Titans RB (hint: not Henry) is in line for a good day. Adam and Wilson are riding with Geno while Clinton sees a big day for DK coming right up. Finally, could JSN's upward trajectory continue right into a +2200 situation on Sunday? If it does, there will be a nice Christmas bonus for Wilson.

427: Amazing Won't Do It Justice Dec 23, 2023

The Seahawks win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football was one of their most important wins of the season. Not only did it keep them in the race for the playoffs, they showed some level of physical football that we hadn't seen in previous weeks. There was also a question of whether Coach Pete Carroll may not have the support of the locker room as the losses continued to pile up. Even if the Seahawks didn't pull out the win - that question had been answered through the first three quarters of the game.

Drew Lock answered some questions in this game by driving the length of the field in the final two minutes of the game. His post game press conference was an all-timer. However, it sounds like Geno Smith will be ready to come back against the Titans. He finally has a chance to enjoy a full game with Charles Cross and Abe Lucas at the tackle spots. But the Titans are significantly better than the Seahawks in two particular defensive stat lines. Will that be a difference maker when it comes down to which team comes away with the victory?

Will the focus of replacing Pete Carroll shift following the win over the Eagles? Do we need to start looking for a new head coach anyway based on some of the rumors about Dan Quinn? What does a successful head coach even look like? Our pick'em league overlord is pleased this week and we give a shoutout to 9L as requested. Eagles fans need to 'do better' even as one of our own feels as though he can do better. Better at life honors go out to a media member who has Pete's back and to one of the biggest names in national media for avoiding a biased approach at covering Monday Night Football.

What If?… We're on the Eve of Success Dec 22, 2023

On the eve of Christmas we're searching for a bit of that holiday magic that can take our Seahawks that much closer to the edge of a successful regular season. Can Seattle take down a beaten-up Titans team? Can DK and JSN go back-to-back after the week they had on Monday night? Will K9 get the volume? Clinton, Brandan and Phil talk about some of the things they'd like to see from the team at this point that would lead us all to believe that the playoffs continue to be a possibility for Pete Carroll and the Seahawks.

3 IN, 3 OUT: It's Been 84 Years Dec 21, 2023

Our Seahawks get huge home victory over the Eagles in the 20-17 comeback. Clinton pours the love on "role players" while Brandan gushes over who might be our most consistent Seahawks defender. 3 INs, 3 OUTs, the BrandIN, the MVC, the From the Flock section ... this episode has it all.

With Jamal Adams out due to 'injury,' Seahawks fans got to see Julian Love go up against a quarterback he got to play twice a year during his time with the Giants. Love's two interceptions helped keep the Eagles from putting up points in the fourth quarter and allowed Drew Lock the opportunity to pick up a stat. Ken Walker helped lead the way on a touchdown drive where Seattle just kept running and running, while Lock aired it out to DK and JSN to close out an emotional comeback.

426: The Coach's Attitude Has Shifted Dec 14, 2023

Just one month ago the Seahawks were 6-3 and looking like a relative lock for the playoffs, and considering the Niners had also lost three games to that point it looked like the division title was also within range. One month later, the division title is out of reach, Seattle has a losing record and the playoffs are in question. A week ago, Pete was on the radio talking as if the playoffs were a certainty and this week he's blowing off questions about whether or not his message is getting through to players. What will it take for this team to take a turn?

How the Seahawks play against Philadelphia may well determine how the rest of the season plays out. Can they cut out the 'easy' mistakes from some of the previous weeks? The Eagles defensive line may be a formidable force, but a former Seahawks defensive coach is struggling with a similar problem that Coach Hurtt has been concerned with this year.

Let's say things work out over these next few weeks. Is there one thing to possibly look forward to that a playoff berth can provide? We believe there is. Part of the reason is because Kyle Shanahan needs to Do Better along with a Bay Area reporter who seemingly couldn't wait to pile on DK Metcalf rather than approach the end of the game with any kind of objectivity about the role of one Niners player at the end of the game. Better at life honors go out to a PNW company for bringing us into the future and to a Seahawks player who was honored for his work in the community.

However, there are some significant issues to overcome that showed up in the loss to the Niners. Can Pete Carroll shake up his guys on defense, or sit down the guys who aren't getting the job done?

Live & UnCatfished: Seahawks vs 49ers Postgame Reaction Dec 11, 2023

Heading into the second game against the 49ers, there was a sense of impending doom, especially when the word went out that Geno may not play. Early on in the game Drew Lock rallied the Seahawks offense and even had Seattle up by 3 points on the Niners. Between the Seahawks defense getting exposed and continued struggles on the offense on third down, it made it difficult to come back once they fell behind. What were some of the biggest areas of concern coming out of this game, and is there still an opportunity to cheer for a possible playoff run? We react following the Seahawks 28-16 loss to the 49ers.

425: History is on the line for the Seahawks Dec 07, 2023

The Seahawks have a couple of major milestones on the line and history is on the Seahawks side. Considering the way the San Francisco 49ers have been playing, it would make a victory that much sweeter if past trends hold true. However, if we can't count on historical trends, what would need to change for the Seahawks to be able to compete at the 49ers current level? Is coaching or personnel more of the problem, particularly when we focus on the defense?

We take a look back at the Cowboys game and talk about some of the moments that still stick with us a week later. NFL officiating as a whole continues to be a topic of conversation, especially after a big call went against the Chiefs in a game that helped the Packers join the playoff picture. A Seahawks blog can do better for suggesting that it's time to move on from one of the Seahawks most prolific players and Rich Eisen left a key team out of the playoff conversation this past week. Better at life honors go out to a legendary rock band and a podcast that provided some insight into some of Washington state lore.

Live & UnCatfished: Seahawks vs Dallas Postgame Reaction Dec 01, 2023

As one area of the team seems to improve and play well, another one takes a step back or fails to make plays in key moments. It's a story of nearly all the losses from this season. The officials made us all know that they were there on the field, too. For a good stretch of the game, we expected to see a flag on the field after every play. Maybe, in part, due to the two most heavily penalized teams playing one another. Were the improvements on offense enough to hold out hope the Seahawks can close out the seasons strong, or did this game tell us all we need to know about who this team is this season?

424: The NFL's best are good at ONE thing the Seahawks are avoiding Nov 28, 2023

Fans are frustrated and looking for answers after back-to-back losses to division rivals. With the prospects of a playoff push now dimming, should the Seahawks start the firing spree? With that type of move unlikely to happen, we dig into some of the statistics of the NFL's best offensive teams and look at some of the ways the best offenses in the league are scoring the most points, leading in DVOA and also creating explosive plays. Plus, it's something the Seahawks might actually be good at if they just choose to do more of it.

If the Seahawks are going to maintain their playoff hopes, one win over the next three games should keep them in the running. The matchup against the Dallas Cowboys may present their best opportunity. The downside is that Dallas has been one of the NFL's best teams playing at home this season. They've been destroying bad teams on their home turf. If the Seahawks truly are bad, this Thursday's game should tell the story.

The Arizona Cardinals didn't do anything to help our Seahawks with the Rams spot in the NFC West standings. We also may be seeing why they were ok with moving on from Josh Dobbs who had a disaster of a performance against the Chicago Bears. A pair of writers from the Athletic and a legendary actor find themselves in the crosshairs to Do Better. We close with a discussion on why both society and YouTube Premium are better at life than Skip Bayless.

Earlier in the season, we were overlooking some of offensive coordinator Shane Waldron's play calling issues in the game. In part, it was because the Seahawks were doing well on their scripted plays earlier in the game. With that no longer working, we're left with an offense that continually stalls because they abandon the run game in favor of passing to the perimeter. Are the Seahawks a bad team?

423: A Thanksgiving feast…and the NFC West lead Nov 21, 2023

It's a short week, which means there isn't a lot of time to dwell over a loss to the Rams. And why are we dwelling on a loss to the Rams anyway? It's not like we haven't experienced multiple losses to stupid inferior Rams teams in a season before anyway. Even though the Seahawks defense held Stafford and the Rams to just 17 points, is there some blame to be shared by that position group? Shane Waldron seems to struggle situationally, but does it mean he should be fired? We talk about our preferred alternatives.

Even with the loss, the Seahawks are in prime position to take over the NFC West with two matchups against the division rival San Francisco 49ers in the next three weeks. This will be a big challenge and there are similar concerns in this matchup as we saw with the game against the Baltimore Ravens earlier this year. We get into the areas of the game the Seahawks are going to have to improve if they're going to come out ahead versus Frisco.

After the game this week, Geno Smith talked about not getting a play in via his headset. It was part of the reason they chose to run the football in the final seconds. Was there really an issue? Did a play get called or not? One Seahawks defender in particular gets called out to Do Better for a major penalty and Better at Life honors go to a pair of Seahawks for some exceptional moments in Sunday's game against the Rams.

Live & UnCatfished: Yet another annoying one Nov 20, 2023

Another game against the Rams, and Pete Carroll and the Seahawks find yet another annoying way to lose. It had set up for a storybook ending. Geno Smith, after taking a hit from Aaron Donald in the third quarter, shed the tape and ice from around his elbow to come in for the final drive of the game. He dealt strikes to Tyler and DK to put the team in position for a great ending (despite a dismal second half of football). Unfortunately, it didn't work out. We react to the loss and there are a lot of catfishes.

422: Whose House? The Communal House! Nov 17, 2023

The Seahawks got the win against the Washington Commanders, but did they get "back to basics" like players and coaches said the team would? What do we think the team meant by basics? The running backs combined for about 30 touches, but Geno Smith also threw nearly 50 passes. Maybe getting back to basics is winning the turnover battle and really taking care of the ball on offense. Because those things were also true.

Will they be able to keep it going as they travel to LA to take on the Rams? Matthew Stafford is back after being sidelined with a thumb injury. Will the Seahawks defense make an adjustment if the Rams QB isn't able to push the ball down field? Or will McVay continue to have his way against Pete Carroll and the Seahawks defense? With the way Pete was stewing about the loss, it feels like it's time that he'll dig deep to get this win.

The Arizona Cardinals got a win in Kyler Murray's return to the team, but did they give away the better quarterback option for next to nothing in the trade with the Vikings? NFL and their All-22 deserve a call out for Do Better along with an anonymous sports betting site. Better at Life honors go to DK Metcalf and to a group of Flockers.

What If?... The Seahawks Roast the Rams Nov 16, 2023

The rack, the roast, even the shepherd's pie... We dive into all the ways the Seattle Seahawks might cook the Los Angeles Lambs (Rams) this Sunday. Last time Stafford was on fire and the world met a boy named Puka. But this Seahawks team is quite different than what the Rams saw Week 1. Will it matter or will McVay continue to best Carroll regardless of who has the superior roster? It's a huge one for our Seahawks with big playoff and division ramifications on the line!

3 IN, 3 OUT: The Seahawks Hidden Heroes Nov 14, 2023

Who were the Seahawks hidden heroes from Sunday's win against the Washington Commanders? Clinton and Adam break down the micro moments from the game and discuss some of their overall feelings after going back through and watching the game again. Of course, "it wasn't all roses" as Clinton often says -- we get into some of those moments, too. How was the screen game a factor versus Washington, and did it come at a cost or compliment the run game? Damien Lewis finds his way onto the highlight reel. Lastly, we answer the question about which running back on the team needs more touches.

Live & UnCatfished: Seahawks Lack Consistency Against Commanders Nov 13, 2023

The Seahawks defense played well for at least a half. The Seahawks offence played well for about a half. But neither played well togehter at the same points during the game. It was a wierd one. So even though the team came out ahead, there are still some questions and criticisms about Geno Smith, Shane Waldron, and what is missing on defense. Adam and Clinton reacted to all of it, immediate following the game against the Seahawks and Commanders.

PNW Prop Stars: A Washington Bonanza Nov 11, 2023

Game 9 and we've got 9 top bets, parlays, and props for Seahawks vs. Commanders just for you... and you. While Clinton believes in a 2nd year wideout from Penn St., Brandan goes with a "scarier" WR option. The boy prince, Wilson, sees bounce back and back to basics meaning it's time for K9 to re-wind to earlier season success. And some how, some way, we've got 2 Fail Mary bets starring 1 Seahawks TE. What a world! Even though last week was rough (for all of us) all 3 of us on PNW Prop Stars are STILL up for the year and that's not nothing!

It's the battle of the "Washingtons" as Seattle hosts D.C. this Sunday. The Seahawks world is on FIRE and as the "Geno Debate" rages on, Phil, Brandan, and Clinton dive into what will it take for this team to fix what feels like a broken system? Also, if what's our biggest fear heading into this game against the Manders and what role can our Prez and the DBs play in helping to keep Sam Howell from outshining our QB?

421: The Geno Smith Apology Tour Nov 09, 2023

Win or loss (even when we get mullered), this show has been about coming on each and every week to talk about what we saw from the previous week. Even a few days out, a loss like this is frustrating. We discuss the frustration, because one team clearly had a plan for what they wanted to do and the other didn't. Or maybe they did have a plan, but it was completely out of order. Why does the rest of the team owe Geno Smith an apology? Adam breaks down, drive-by-drive, where the fault lies in how each drive got killed.

One of our long-time listeners calls in to ask what we'd need to see from Geno Smith to know when it is time to move on in the middle of the season. There is a distinction between elite, very good, and everyone else and the pieces around the player that can have an impact.

With the Commanders up next, it's a get-right game and Seattle needs to show they can get the run game going. With Geno among the top quarterbacks when running play action, the best opportunity for the Seahawks to finish strong is to do it with Ken Walker and Zach Charbonnet sharing the workload. But Washington could apply pressure to this Seattle defense based on the number of offensive weapons they have.

The Seahawks weren't the only NFC West team with a limited amount of offensive production this week. With their backup quarterbacks playing, the Cardinals and Rams struggled to score points. Can Sean McVay get Carson Wentz to return to his former MVP form? A curse wheel and the ex-wife of Earl Thomas need to do better. Better at life honors go out to a team for closing out an historic rivalry in a fun way and for all the 12s hanging in there after a rough game.

3 IN, 3 OUT: 99 Problems and Geno Ain't One Nov 08, 2023

Three positive moments from the Seahawks loss to the Ravens? Is it possible? It may be hard to believe, but we've dug into the nooks and crannies and found enough positive moments to balance out the negative. K9 joined the left side of the line in giving up a 3-on-1 sack. But that wasn't the only time that Charles Cross was on the OUT side. Boye Mafe and Jordyn Brooks were a couple standouts on an otherwise rough defensive day.

Live & UnCatfished: Make It Stop! Nov 05, 2023

By the end of a game like this one, the only thing you really want to say is, "make it stop!" The national feed even cut away with around 10 minutes left on the game clock because they wanted to take pity on viewers. Yet, here we re-live some of the moments as we stuck around for the end of the game and stuck around for the aftermath to talk about where things went so badly. We also have some key people to blame for this loss. On the positive side, this loss only counts for one loss in the standings.

420: Seahawks boost the defense at the trade deadline Nov 02, 2023

The Seahawks made a move at the trade deadline to acquire interior defensive lineman Leonard Williams. Did they give up too much considering some of the other moves made around the league for defensive line? We contrast the move with the 49ers acquisition of Chase Young. The move may have come at the perfect time after watching the Browns attack the middle of the field in both the run and the screen game. The defense came up big when they needed to though thanks to the (intentional?) head assist from Jamal Adams.

Which Baltimore Ravens team will the Seahawks face this week? One that dominated the Lions just a couple weeks ago? The one that looked like they barely needed to try hard on offense against the Cardinals? Or will they finally be worn down after multiple road trips in the last few weeks? It's going to be another big test for the defense to face off against Lamar, Gus Edwards and tight end Mark Andrews.

The Rams are continuing to make their way to the bottom of the NFC West after a big loss to the Cowboys and there is uncertainty around Matt Stafford moving forward with a thumb injury. But even with those concerns, Adam still likes the Rams to beat the Packers this upcoming weekend in our picks segment. A couple of national reporters need to do better based on a couple of articles written this past week. Better at life honors go out to a group for continuing to operate as usual and an NFL player giving the stiff arm to his former team.

Live & UnCatfished: Another Geno Smith Stat Oct 30, 2023

The Seahawks put points up early against the NFL's best defense so far this season. It looked like they could've run away with the game early. However, the offense slowed, DK Metcalf and Geno Smith failed to connect on nine different passes, and penalties killed multiple drives. Some fourth quarter heroics helped put the game away, though. A Seahawks header from Jamal Adams to Julian Love helped set up Geno for a fourth quarter comeback and the defense closed it out. We discuss whether the Seahawks run defense was exposed, and the Seahawks clear offensive approach against Cleveland.

419: Boye Mafe Needs to Stay on His Feet Oct 26, 2023

Despite three turnovers against the Arizona Cardinals, the Seahawks were able to pull off a 20-10 victory over their division rivals. Pete Carroll didn't sound as concerned about the turnovers as he did about the one play of the game that Boye Mafe couldn’t run down the quarterback. He made sure to mention it in front of the media multiple times. The Seahawks are going to need Mafe with Nwosu going down to injury (we found out after recording that Frank Clark is returning to Seattle).

A pair of rookie receivers each had a touchdown against the Cards, but does it mean that it is time to consider shopping DK near the trade deadline? With the Cleveland Browns coming into town, Geno Smith is going to be watching out for Myles Garrett. Seattle will need to find an answer to the Browns pass rush to help avoid turning the ball over. The Browns offense has been counting on those defensive plays to help out backup QB P.J. Walker.

In the second half of the show, we talk more about the Seahawks offense. Adam offers up his picks for the week after hitting a total of four games last week. The Dolphins and a random 49ers fan need to do better for their antics. Finally, better at life honors go out to a long-time Eagles defensive lineman and to the story behind this week's 12 flag raiser.

418: Expectations set for a string of defensive performances Oct 20, 2023

The Seahawks offense fell short against a Bengals defense that was smashing up against a second-string offensive line. Geno Smith missed several throws, some due to pressure, and some due to a subpar performance. We go through some of the points of the game that appeared to be the quarterback's fault and other parts where blame could be pushed toward coaching, penalties, play calling and other execution issues. Does DK Metcalf deserve any blame and we wonder if he's hearing any of the criticism that is building for some unnecessary antics?

With the loss behind them, the Seahawks head back home for a stretch of two home games. The division rival Arizona Cardinals are only 1-5 on the season, but they've been playing tough and shouldn't be taken lightly (even in spite of their recent effort against the Rams). We discuss some of the players to watch for and the expectations for our Seahawks.

Looking ahead to the next few weeks, what are some of the expectations for the Seahawks defense? Adam drops the average number of points he expects this defense to allow over the next few weeks. If it happens, we're going to be taking about a solid record and a defense that should be viewed among the best in the league going into the second half of the season. A mouse and a segment of sports media going after a fan need to do better. Better at life honors go out to the defenders of our quarterback and a segment of the flock who met up in London.

3 IN, 3 OUT: Tight End Love is Blind Oct 17, 2023

Watching back through the game and looking into the nooks and crannies, it's hard to figure out who disliked using tight ends against the Bengals more. Shane the Main Brain limited their ability to hit the field and, when they were there, Geno Smith was throwing to the outside receivers or choosing to take the ball himself. K9 wears an out for his blocking skills and Julian Love helped to save the day on special teams.

417: Out of the bye and into a measuring-stick game Oct 12, 2023

The Cincinnati Bengals vanquished another NFC West rival in Week 5 of the NFL season. Coming off a win against the Arizona Cardinals, they head back to their home stadium where they beat the Rams in Week 3. The Seahawks are coming off a bye, hopefully with some health restored. They'll need it on both sides of the ball.

The offensive line faces off against a pair of pass rushing defensive ends and the defense needs to contact with the Burrow to Chase connection. Having Jamal Adams as part of the pass rush or in pass coverage will be a big help, but can they find a way to use Adams and Witherspoon in some creative ways? They'll certainly be tested with Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase coming off of their first big game of the year.

With the San Francisco 49ers starting the season strong, we get into fan fiction territory in the second half of the show. We also go back to the Marshawn Lynch interview with Shannon Sharpe following the fallout and reaction. A Wall Street Journal reporter and the NFL both need to do better. Better at life honors go out to a member of the Indianapolis Colts and to our Seahawks head coach.

416: Seahawks GM John Schneider can take a bow after Week 4 Oct 06, 2023

The Seahawks defense gave their most dominant performance of the season during their 24-3 win over the New York Giants. Daniel Jones was sacked into oblivion and Seattle's top draft pick helped to seal the victory. It wasn't just the Witherspoon pick on display, but many of the moves made by General Manager John Schneider in recent years. Drew Lock linked up with Noah Fant to provide another highlight of the Russell Wilson trade along with Witherspoon.

Offseason acquisition Mario Edwards had a sack fumble, top picks from last year Boye Mafe and Ken Walker also had impactful plays. Even hiring decisions by the front office like Shane Waldron and Andy Dickerson are paying dividends when you look at the ability of the offense to operate despite all of the injuries. Jamal Adams was a notable injury in the game, and it may have been what triggered Devon Witherspoon to have such a big game versus the Giants.

The Rams were able to come back in overtime this week to remain just one game back from the Seahawks. The 49ers are annoyingly good through four games and the Cardinals look much more competent than they were expected to be at the start of the year. We go through Week 5 picks, talk about some aspects of football that need to Do Better and award Better at Life honors for the week.

His interception return made it so the Seahawks defense could finally earn a red zone stop on the year.

415: Still seeing meat on the bone for the Seahawks offense Sep 30, 2023

After scoring 37 points in back to back weeks, you'd think Seahawks fans would be content with the performance of the offense. Yet, it still feels like there are opportunities to improve. It wasn't until late in the game against the Panthers when the team started converting their scoring opportunities rather than kicking field goals. With several backup offensive linemen in the game, their rookie receiver still working into the offense, and seeing growth from their rookie running back - improvement seems inevitable.

Can Jamal Adams come back and help the Seahawks defense to improve? There's one area on defense that the team literally can't get any worse. With Riq Woolen set to return as well, we could finally start to see this defensive squad meet its potential as well. The bye week is just around the corner and a solid performance against the New York Giants could be what this team needs to propel them through the rest of the year. But are there reasons to be concerned with the Giants despite their slow start?

We pick up the storyline that is taking the NFL by storm this week. And in back-to-back weeks Adam has his picks in ahead of the game. Everett C. took the top spot in the pick'em this past week with the tie breaker. We also talk about the 70 point win by the Miami Dolphins this past week and how it benefits the former Seahawks QB. The Dolphins coach deserves a 'Do Better' for not making history and the trade that everyone seems to think is a great idea needs to stop. Better at life honors go out to a Dolphins coach and to a Seahawks running back for an award-winning Week 3 performance.

Live & UnCatfished: Seahawks vs Panthers Week 3 Reaction Sep 25, 2023

The Seahawks were down three starting offensive linemen heading into Week 3 of the season and facing one of the league's most better pass rushers. Still, the Seattle offense managed more than 150 yards rushing and 300+ receiving on the day on their way to a 37-27 victory. Yes, the defense had some issues throughout the game and even Geno failed to connect on some key moments, and we talk about those rough moments as well as some of the best moments. Jake Bobo, Ken Walker and Zach Charbonnet all gave us some big moments to cheer for during the victory.

PNW Prop Stars: Seahawks vs Panthers Week 3 - Our Nine Best Bets & Props Sep 23, 2023

Results were a mixed back last week. One co-host was skunked, another made a few bucks, and someone's wagers paid off big. Will there be another parlay party this week? Can last year's champ get back into the green? With Bryce Young reportedly sitting out, we'll discuss how that could impact this week's strategy.

What If?. . . America Hears the Seahawks Sep 22, 2023

The Seahawks take on a young Panthers team amidst a rash of injuries for our boys in the Action Green. A big change took place on Thursday (after recording) that makes it look like they'll face off against Andy Dalton instead of Bryce Young. Can the Seahawks keep being heard as a team to reckon with or will these young kittens with their backup QB throw a monkey wrench into our early season plans?

414: Drew Lock - the Seahawks unsung overtime MVP Sep 21, 2023

Did the hopes for the Seahawks 2023 season hang on the result of a coin flip? If Geno Smith doesn't get the ball in overtime with a chance at redemption, then our postgame commentary about our quarterback would have been much more critical. Ken Walker and Tyler Lockett each scored two touchdowns, including the game winner by Lockett. Tyler explained why he decided to go against one of the team's primary coaching points and, of course, Coach Carroll took no issue with it.

The Carolina Panthers come into town with the first pick overall leading the team at quarterback. Just like the Seahawks, the Panthers are playing without two of their starting offensive lineman. Dre'mont Jones could be due for a big game in the interior of the defensive line. The Seahawks may also need him to help stop a rushing attack led by Miles Sanders. Could the defense get a boost with a possible return of Jamal Adams?

Despite allowing the Rams to take some momentum into Week 2 of the season, the 49ers were able to pull ahead in the fourth quarter to take the top spot in the division for now. The Cardinals are hanging in games, even if they're giving up huge leads to the likes of Daniel Jones. Do better call outs go to the votes of the air player of the week and some bad officiating. Better at Life honors go to Nick Chubb and a Colts player who scored his first NFL touchdown.

Seattle vs. Carolina Week 3 Preview w/former Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart Sep 21, 2023

Pro Bowl running back Jonathan Stewart joins the show to look ahead to the Seahawks Week 3 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Despite a pair of injured guards, look for the Panthers to try and run the ball against the Seahawks defense to help open things up for their rookie quarterback Bryce Young. You can tune in and hear Jonathan every week on the Bleav in Carolina Panthers podcast on the Bleav Network.

Live & UnCatfished: Seahawks vs Lions Postgame Reaction Sep 17, 2023

Tyler Lockett scored the game winning touchdown in overtime to help the Seahawks get the win on the road in Detroit. Lockett joined Ken Walker who had two touchdowns on the ground. Geno Smith, despite having two injured starting tackles, hung in the pocket to deliver some strikes at least a half dozen times. We go through the ups and down from this Week 2 matchup in our live reaction show.

Seattle at Detroit Preview w/Glover Quin of Bleav in Lions Sep 16, 2023

With the Lions coming off an opening week victory against the Super Bowl Champs, how does a opening week win impact a team to kick off the season? Glover Quin of the Bleav in Lions podcast was a part of the Houston Texans when they took down Peyton Manning and the Colts coming off their Super Bowl appearance. We heard how the Rams 'wanted it move' this past week. Glover explains what players really won't say when it comes to admitting defeat.

What If? . . .The Seahawks Get Back Up Sep 15, 2023

Why do we fall sir? So we can learn to pick ourselves back up. It's been ... a week and our Seahawks are battered, beaten, but not broken. Mr. Phil, Brandan, and Clinton examine this week's matchup vs. the Lions as we ponder will our Seahawks Free Fall w/o our Tackles or will we Fall in Love with a new found resiliency? If we're going to win, how the heck will it happen? We discuss it all on this week's Sea Hawkers What If?

413: Seahawks Fans Biggest Fears Exposed Sep 14, 2023

The problem with having high expectations going into the season is that just one half of football can make a fan believe that it was all a mirage. Were we drinking the Kool-Aid in the offseason or was Sean McVay and Matt Stafford take advantage of a Week 1 opportunity against Seattle? Time will tell. In the meantime, we explore the Seahawks defensive woes and the lack of an effective pass rush. Both tackles went down to injury and were a big reason for the offensive struggles in the second half. We discuss some things the offense could have done differently against the Rams defense.

Injuries will continue to have an impact on the offensive line in Week 2 as 20-year veteran Jason Peters was signed to the practice squad this week. Abe Lucas was moved to injured reserve and will have to miss the next four games at a minimum. Will Charles Cross be next to the IR or can the team somehow manage his foot injury. Looking ahead to the game against the Lions we talk about what has to turn for the Seahawks to bounce back from their disappointing Week 1 performance.

In the second half of the show, we talk about one game on the schedule that is guaranteed to help the Seahawks in the NFC West standings, even if we can't decide who to cheer for. Adam offers his bold predictions for the outcome of Week 1 games. The NFL quarterbacks who got paid this offseason need to do better and so do the fans who immediately start calling for Pete Carroll's job after one game. Better at life honors go out to a helpful gameday gadget and to a former Seahawks running back.

Adam and Clinton attempt to explain the disappointing Week 1 performance and keep things in a bit of perspective. There were some questions we expressed about this team heading into those week and those concerns showed up in a big way. Injuries had an impact on both sides of the ball for the Seahawks as well. Plus there were issues with coaching that maybe we should have anticipated.

PNW Prop Stars is BACK for season 2. Clinton, Adam, and the reigning PNW Prop Star Wilson Conn bring you unique game preview analysis through the looking glass of wagers, props, and other ways you can say the word gambling! Wilson and Adam are on a similar plane grooving into some JSN props while Clinton finds a Geno gem he is telling you to lock in on.

Mr. Phil has "One Love" for week "One" as Brandan and Clinton raise the Hawkra and help us all get ready for week 1 vs. our rivals, the Los Angeles Rams. Who do we expect to shine? What can we look to exploit versus a depleted Rams defense? We canvass it all on week 1 Sea Hawkers What If?

412: Bobby Wagner's impact should be obvious versus the LA Rams Sep 06, 2023

The Seattle Seahawks kick off their 2023 campaign with a matchup against the division rival Los Angeles Rams. Even though the NFL tried to do the Rams a favor by pitting them against Seattle to kick off the year, Cooper Kupp may not play in this game due to a hamstring injury. Even if their top wideout sits out, we should learn some things about the Seahawks secondary vs Matt Stafford.

Cam Akers rushed for more than 100 yards against the Seahawks defense last year. It gives Bobby Wagner the perfect opportunity to draw a contrast to last year's squad. We'll also learn some things about the Rams if Geno takes the opportunity to go after this young secondary. We also discuss how upset this game could potentially make us if some of our offseason fears are realized.

The 49ers could struggle out of the gate if they don't have their top pass rusher signed. Is it possible that the holdout lasts beyond the first two weeks of the season? The Arizona Cardinals are likely to struggle through the entire season and it may be intentional. Our pick'em league overlord lays down the rules for this year's league. You don't want to face the punishment that awaits if you mess up. A former Seahawks player and PFF are in the crosshairs of Do Better. Better at Life honors go out to a member of a division rival, and Adam will make you want to say "awwww."

The Four Most Intriguing Matchups of the 2023 Seahawks Season Sep 05, 2023

The Seahawks made a couple of moves after teams cut their roster to 53 active players. What do the additions of linebacker Drake Thomas and cornerback Kyu Blu Kelly mean regarding the depth of the Seahawks roster? Jake Bobo also made the team and there's more to the story with his reported 4.9 40-yard-dash time.

With the 2023 season kicking off this week, EJ Snyder of Bootleg Football joins the show to look ahead at Seattle's season. We look at four of the most intriguing matchups of the season for EJ and how those games will tell us a lot with how well this year's Seahawks team stacks up against some of the league's best.

Live & UnCatfished: A look at the 2023 Seahawks 53-man roster Aug 30, 2023

Jake Bobo did it! An undrafted wide receiver we were all rooting for actually pulled it off. But even though Bobo pulled through, there were some other cuts who we wanted to make the 53-man roster. Adam and Brandan go through the cuts, discuss which areas of the team have the strongest depth and which ones could still use some help as the Seahawks head into the regular season. Plus, with a few injuries, we could see some of our preseason favorites back on the 53 later on this week.

3 IN, 3 OUT: Seahawks Fantasy Outlook - Who to Draft, Pass, and Stash Aug 29, 2023

Long-time Flocker, Dave Bloomquist, aka Hawk Van Dyke joins Clinton to take a unique look at the 2023 Fantasy Football landscape through the lens of our Seattle Seahawks. Which players are over-drafted? Which players are huge values? And why in the world was Clinton able to snag K9 in the 4th round of a draft yesterday!!!

3 IN, 3 OUT: Who Makes the Roster? Aug 28, 2023

The Seahawks may have a roster battle going on for the last spot at defensive end, but there could also be a battle along the interior. Which one is more intriguing? DeeJay Dallas offered up a cryptic tweet on Sunday that has us wondering if a shakeup inside the running back room could be on the horizon. Plus, we dig into some of the micro-moments from the Seahawks preseason loss to the Green Bay Packers.

Live & UnCatfished: Who shined in the Seahawks final preseason game? Aug 27, 2023

The Seahawks failed to go undefeated in the preseason, but the game against the Packers provided some fourth quarter excitement. Alex McGough got to have his revenge game. Drew Lock continued to shine with some nice throws. Tre Brown looks to have solidified a starting spot and Jake Bobo should be expected to make the roster.

What If?... Cheeeeese - Seahawks vs. Packers Preview Aug 25, 2023

Say Cheese! Our #Seahawks take on the Packers in game 3 of the preseason and we're focused on who makes this 53-man roster and who gets a chance to shine given all of our sudden injuries? It's a super cheeeeeesey episode of Sea Hawkers What If? Enjoy and Go Hawks!!!

411: Preseason injuries a cause for concern as the Seahawks regular season draws near Aug 24, 2023

With one week left to go in the preseason, our earlier hopes of maintaining health on the roster have not held up. Only a few rookies from the draft class have seen time in both preseason game, and the two first round picks are projected to miss time in the regular season. Injuries at wide receiver could make it easier for at least one of the preseason crushes to make the 53-man roster.

Drew Lock has played well this preseason and even has some fans wondering if he could be better than Geno. But is there anything that Drew could do at this point to play his way into the starting lineup? Who else could play their way into a roster spot in the game coming up against the Packers? One UDFA wide receiver was highly touted coming out of high school and had a nice showing against the Cowboys. He could make the type of special teams impact that ends up making him worthy of a roster spot.

Mookie Alexander of Field Gulls has published a potential 53-man roster going into the final game of the preseason. We run through and see where we agree and disagree with some of the final picks to make the team. In our Do Better segment we learn about an annoying black bear and a drone with questionable motives. Better at Life honors go out to a fishing charter and Richard Sherman for one of the best interviews of Pete Carroll that we've heard.

Brandan is flying solo this week on this postgame recap as the Seahawks picked up the 22-14 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Boye Mafe comes away as the biggest winner from this game while Mike Jackson was the guy who got beat more than any of us wanted to see.

410: Projecting Jerry Jones Sadness in Preseason Week 2 Aug 17, 2023

Despite some early mistakes from the Seahawks, we saw some shining moments from Boye Mafe, Devin Bush, and some of the rookies on the defensive line. We also saw poise from Drew Lock as he was able to come back from a 0-10 deficit to take the lead before handing over the reigns to Holton Ahlers.

With one preseason game down, we're ready to see some starters against the Cowboys in Week 2. Mike Jackson wants to matchup against Brandin Cooks and now he could have the opportunity. But we also want to see Riq and Spoon matching up against Gallup and CeeDee. With players nursing preseason injuries, we may not get what we want. The ultimate thing that could happen is some sadness from Jerry Jones over the outlook of the Cowboys season.

Things got off to a good start for the NFC West as a whole. The Niners lost big, the Rams lost big and the Cardinals needed to rally in the fourth to beat the Broncos. A Pokemon pack opening former linebacker and a new face fad need to Do Better. Better at life honors go out to a Seahawks quarterback and an executive producer of the show.

The first game of the preseason gave us Seahawks fans an opportunity to check out some of the rookies and some of the depth pieces hoping to make the cut this year. Who made the cuts for the INs and OUTs from this game? One of the undrafted running backs caught Clinton's eye, along with a pair of defensive linemen. Could one of the Seahawks cornerbacks shine in the return game if he gets more opportunities? Unfortunately though, this game highlighted one area where the team could struggle if health becomes an issue for the first team offense. Join us as we provide a unique recap of the Seahawks 24-13 win over the Vikings in preseason Week 1.

Drew Lock threw two touchdown passes to bring the team back from a 10-0 deficit and Holton Ahlers added an arm punt touchdown at the end of the game to help seal the win.

409: Seattle Seahawks 2023 Season Expectations Aug 10, 2023

This 2023 season is about to begin! So what do we expect from our Seattle Seahawks this season? First off, the Seahawks have a much different quarterback situation this year than they do last year. We talk about Geno Smith and how our expectations have shifted since this time last year. One of the reasons why we're optimistic about Geno is because of all of the players in the supporting cast. Seattle has a potential star at running back with Kenneth Walker to go with a pair of receivers who don't get nearly enough credit nationally.

Reflecting back to last year's defensive performance, there is one area where we want to see a repeat and one thing that has to chance for the team to have success. If the Seahawks can keep their sack numbers around where they were last year, that would be a huge help. But if they can't rebound from being the third worst team against the run, then it's going to be another long year defensively.

After the break, we talk about our expectations for where the team finishes this season. Who are their biggest challengers in the NFC? Will they look to face off against the 49ers in the playoffs once again? We hit a big milestone as we celebrate 10 years of podcasting together. We started the Sea Hawkers Podcast back in 2013.

Sean Payton of the Broncos needs to do better and stop banning effective headwear from the Broncos facility. The Seahawks need to do better and go back to having an effective tailgating area so they can challenge the Packers for one of the best pregame cities. Better at life honors go out to Richard Sherman for taking his career full circle. He'll now be able to routinely remind Skip Bayless face-to-face just how much better at life he really is.

408: San Francisco 49ers - Know Your Rival 2023 Aug 02, 2023

Seahawks fans owe a debt of gratitude to Pharoah Analytics this week, because they have projected the 2023 San Francisco 49ers win total at 6.5 wins this season. It gives us the perfect jumping off point to base our discussion around exactly what needs to happen for the Niners to finish in the cellar this season.

Perhaps this team is getting closer to seeing their window closing. If a player on their own team is talking about it happening it must be true. We discuss the quarterback battle going on in Niners camp and how Adam is one of Brandon Allen's biggest fans. On the defensive side, San Francisco picked up a big name in the offseason. But did they improve the defense overall when you add up all of their losses?

Seahawks training camp is underway and Devon Witherspoon is now in camp. But should we be concerned about his willingness to hold out and what it could mean for future contract negotiations with the Seahawks? Taylor Swift needs to do better for some of her latest antics impacting Seattle fans and Congress needs to do better when it comes to divulging information about aliens. Better at life honors go out to a reporter for some great quotes from an NFL coach and to Seahawks safety Quandre Diggs.

Big news for the Seahawks on Day 3 of training camp. Their top draft pick and fifth pick overall, CB Devon Witherspoon, signed his contract and reported to camp.

407: Los Angeles Rams - Know Your Rival 2023 Jul 23, 2023

How do we characterize our sports hate for the Los Angeles Rams? Because it's a different type of hate compared to other rivals for the division. We discuss why the 2023 Rams are a benchmark team to decide how different analysts look at the game of football. With stars at a few skill positions, a beloved head coach in the media and 14 new draft picks added to the team, the Rams have something to love for a number of different media types.

What has to come together for a successful Rams season? They need to stay healthy, they need to hit on a large number of draft picks and they need to get off to a good start despite a schedule that is heavily stacked against them. Signing some free agents would also help, but it's unlikely that we'll see that from the LA front office.

We talk about the recent launch of the Seahawks throwback uniforms. There is one key thing the Seahawks need to do to make the season more enjoyable with the throwbacks. We talk about why a pair of former NFL players and a mayor from a town in France need to do better. Better at life honors go to an Australian sailor and to our Seahawks team.

406: Arizona Cardinals - Know Your Rival 2023 Jul 15, 2023

Our annual Know Your Rival season kicks off with the Arizona Cardinals. A team where one of their biggest stars wants off of the team, and their other star player is going to be out for most (and maybe all) of the 2023 season. What do the Seahawks have to worry about with Colt McCoy and company this season, apart from the fact the team always seems to play Seattle tough with their backup QB?

One concern regarding the future of the organization is that the Arizona Cardinals moved on from their previous general manager and head coach. They appear to be drafting better and making good decisions, and they could eventually be a force in the division -- if the book that Jonathan Gannon has been reading provides any help.

In the second half of the show, KJ Wright and Luke Willson got together on a recent podcast to share some new stories. It provides some insight about who to blame following the Super Bowl loss to the Patriots. We also heard from Luke about the same thought process and doubts that he had about Geno Smith and his front row seat to having those doubts erased.

SI.com's Fan Nation site might be one of the worst sports sites online judging by a recent story and ESPN needs to do better after firing one of their best football analysts. One better at life honor goes out to a family member, and another to some former Seahawks for their business efforts in the community.

405: Takeaways and Clues from Seahawks Mandatory Minicamp Jun 20, 2023

The Seahawks got together for their mandatory minicamp this month and it gave us a chance to hear from coaches, veterans and some of the new teammates. In this episode, we dig through their press conferences to find some clues about what to expect from aspects of the offense and defense this upcoming season. Could we see a change to how Bobby Wagner is used on defense? He talked about one key difference in how the Rams used him last year in coverage.

Julian Love is one addition on defense that we looking forward to seeing how he's deployed, especially considering the almost 'dominant' camp that Pete Carroll says Mike Jackson is having. Could Mike Jackson ensure that he gets some significant time? Or will it be difficult for him to see the field if Devon Witherspoon and Love are both spending a lot of time on the field? Pete Carroll and Clint Hurtt each offered insight to that potential battle.

On the offense, we hear from DK Metcalf and how he speaks toward the team culture that both Geno Smith and the coaches are trying to instill in this group. Jaxon Smith-Njigba is gaining the respect of many of the veterans on the team already and Geno broke down what makes his route running in particular stand out. Finally, we hear from coaches Shane Waldron and Andy Dickerson about battles on the offensive line and at wide receiver.

In the second half of the show, we talk about a couple potential trade targets that have been discussed for the Seahawks in the media recently. Is there more that could be done along the defensive line? Do Better call outs go to Bobby Wagner and an article focused on an offseason move the Seahawks could regret. Better at Life honors go to a man sounding the alarm over the advancement of artificial intelligence and to a writer who has the biggest draft bust linked to an NFC West rival.

Three Keystone Players on the 2023 Seahawks May 26, 2023

Brandan, Adam, and Clinton debate and discuss the most important players on our 2023 Seattle Seahawks. Call them the keystones, call them the catalysts, call them what you will. The boys from the pod discuss six different players, three we believe will be the key player and three "dark horse" selections of players we feel can really change the course of our team this season.

Which player(s) do YOU think are the keystones to our 2023 season?

404: Introducing the Seahawks 2023 Draft Class May 23, 2023

With the rookies from the Seahawks 2023 NFL Draft reporting to mini camp, we got the first chance to hear directly from them at the VMAC. Their interviews give us another perspective on the players, their personalities and reactions to their transition to professional football. Before we get to the class, we hear from Pete Carroll and get a sense of how he's been energized going into the upcoming season.

Pete certainly made an early impression on some of the rookies, as Derick Hall commented on Coach Carroll's first meeting with the players. As excited as we were initially with players from the first two days, we became more intrigued by the late round players based off of their interviews. Jerrick Reed talked about giving up video games to dive into the playbook while Olu Oluwatimi talked about the transition from a pro style offense playing at Michigan.

In the second half of the show, we talk about how the Russell Wilson trade turned out for the Seahawks now that all of the picks are in. We also put into perspective any complaints about the offseason in comparison with some of the other NFL organizations. In the Do Better segment, Adam tells a story about an awkward interaction during his trip to the store. Better at Life honors go to a truck stop chain for a very specific feature and to the Seahawks player with the best reaction to being drafted.

Seahawks schedule deconstruction and the Rams 'Caleb-spiracy' May 20, 2023

It also helps uncover games that could be easier or more difficult that originally projected. Plus, which teams appear to have the most favorable schedules? This is generally a list that the Rams have been on, but why has that changed this season? Could there be a new 'Lamb-spiracy' in the works?

But is it possible that it could have been better? We discuss some of the players who were still on the board and why Seattle could have picked the guys they did versus other available options. Not only did they have one of his favorite draft classes, EJ explains why he had his eye on some of the undrafted free agents that signed in Seattle.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba makes the Seahawks receiver room elite May 11, 2023

The Seahawks Top Pick Devon Witherspoon Completes the DB Room May 09, 2023

Our Seahawks seemed to take a "Good to Great" approach in this year's draft often choosing best player available even in areas where the team was already quite good. It didn't take long for John Schneider to showcase this philosophy taking elite Illinois cornerback with the 5th pick overall in the 2023 draft. We discuss how this thumper fits and what it does to a unit that was already well above average and what his presence allows for defensively as we head into the 2023 season. We also address why the Seahawks would have passed on addressing another key need and the draft trade that told us all we needed to know about the player.

Seahawks Post-Draft Reaction: 'A plusses forever!' Apr 30, 2023

The Seahawks selected 10 players in the 2023 NFL Draft and split them evenly between the offense and defense. Did they improve in the biggest areas of need or was they picking strictly at best player available?

Here's a look at the Seahawks 2023 NFL Draft class:

R1·Pick 5(5) - CB Devon Witherspoon
R1·Pick 20(20) - WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba
R2·Pick 6(37) - OLB Derick Hall
R2·Pick 21(52) - RB Zach Charbonnet
R4·Pick 6(108) - G Anthony Bradford
R4·Pick 21(123) - DT Cameron Young
R5·Pick 16(151) - DE Mike Morris
R5·Pick 19(154) - C Olu Oluwatimi
R6·Pick 21(198) - S Jerrick Reed II
R7·Pick 20(237) - RB Kenny McIntosh

In a draft with a record number of trades, John Schneider only managed one move and it was to give up a third round pick for a future third rounder. Did he miss on his evaluation of where certain position groups would come off the board? In some cases the Seahawks kicked off big runs on position groups. We discuss the philosophy behind this draft strategy, our favorite picks, and the only real grade you can give this year's draft.

The BIG Pre-Draft Seahawks Rumors: Which Ones Actually Matter Apr 27, 2023

If you're a frequent listener of the show, then you've heard Adam say many a time, "If it happens on Twitter IT DOESN'T MATTER!!!" ... however, there are a LOT of pre-draft rumors swirling around right now that actually might matter a lot for our Seattle Seahawks.

Is Jalen Carter off the #Seahawks big board? Is CJ Stroud actually falling over a test score? Will the Seahawks trade up for Richardson or down to a QB-needy team for a haul?

With many a rumor swirling around Adam sits down with Mr. Phil! (Phil Lydick - host of Sea Hawkers What If?) to discuss which ones might just actually matter... even if they did appear on Twitter.

403: Clues about the Seahawks plan for the 2023 NFL Draft Apr 26, 2023

Pete Carroll and John Schneider met with the Seattle area media ahead of the draft and talked about their approach to the upcoming draft. What clues or hints of what could happen this week may be embedded in their answers. Did last year show that they've dialed in their approach to the draft? We take a listen to several of their quotes including one about the Seahawks plan at safety considering their current depth.

Geno Smith joined Richard Sherman on his podcast this past week as we got to learn a bit more about Seattle's starting quarterback. What does Geno need to be motivated? How has the Seahawks culture improved his mindset as a quarterback? He answers those questions and talks about his relationship with the quarterback he backed up before taking over the starting job.

In the second half of the show, we heard from DK Metcalf on Colin Cowherd recently. He talked about the point of the season last year that Geno Smith really won over the locker room. In Do Better, the NFL still hasn’t gotten it right when it comes to Sunday Ticket even though it has shifted to a new platform. There have also been some overreactions about changes on Twitter that fall into the 'it doesn't matter' category. Better at life honors go out to the creators of a fun and quirky new show and to a recent space launch that met expectations.

His agent said he isn't taking any visits outside of the Top 10. Is there even a chance he could slip out of the Top 10 based on his off-field concerns and Pro Day reports.

Could the Seahawks go after a top cornerback in the draft? Who could make sense for them? One mock draft had them taking Joey Porter Jr., but is that a realistic possibility? Juice Scruggs is a center that EJ recently posted an interview with. We talk about Scruggs and some of the other possible centers if Seattle chooses to pass on the position near the top of the draft.

402: Seahawks set for prime flexibility in NFL Draft after free agency Apr 04, 2023

Coming into the offseason the Seahawks faced questions about improving their run defense and whether or not they would stick with Geno Smith or pursue a quarterback with their early draft pick. Smith's contract paired with Drew Lock's return suggests that the most likely outcome is to continue to find pieces to win with Geno. Being in a similar situation didn't stop them from pursuing a quarterback in 2012. However, going for top prospect on defense, bolstering the offensive line and getting another offensive weapon helps set a more focused plan to compete in relatively weak conference in 2023.

We go through some scenarios regarding how the Seahawks could approach the draft and talk about why the team is putting in the effort to scout some of the top quarterbacks in the class. Adam is certain that Anthony Richardson would need multiple seasons to develop into a potential quarterback. Similarly, Trey Lance is trying to work back into the starting lineup in Santa Clara, but he'll have to get reps over Sam Darnold if Brock Purdy isn't going to be ready for the 2023 season.

In the second half of the show, we talk about some of the NFL's latest rule changes and one rule they opted to remain unchanged. In Do Better, we talk about the shift away from allowing people to work from home and a recent mock draft that may have questionable motives. Better at Life honors go out to the flock and to Bobby Wagner for his return to Seattle.

B-Wagz Returns! Plus Alabama Pro Day Prospects Mar 26, 2023

Bobby Wagner is back with the Seahawks! Brent Taylor, editor at the Alabama Crimson Tide SB Nation site Roll Bama Roll, joins us to talk about the return of Bobby as well as the Alabama Pro Day from last week. There's one player, particularly in terms of his versatility, that Brent has his eye on. Two Alabama players are expected to go in the top 5, and may even go before Seattle picks, as Will Anderson and Bryce Young are two of the top college players on defense and offense respectively. But should the Seahawks move up to take Young or take him if he slides to the 5th spot? Brent has a strong opinion on this based on his comparisons to Russell Wilson's game.

Check out Brent's article from June of 2022 on Brian Branch:

401: Seahawks and Geno notch a big contract win, positions to target in free agency Mar 13, 2023

Initial reports had Geno Smith earning $52 million in the first year of his deal reached this past week. It turns out that those numbers were structured intentionally to make the deal sound much bigger. Once the details were announced, it turns out to be a very team-friendly deal for Seattle and a deal that could reward Smith if he continues to play at the level from the 2022 season.

Free agency kicks off this week and we talk about why not to expect the Seahawks to make a big splash. The areas that would offer them the greatest opportunity for improvement aren't positions that cost a lot in free agency if you stay away from the biggest names. We discuss some linebacker and defensive line targets on defense as well as a familiar name at cornerback. On the offensive side, center and guard are a need after Austin Blythe retired and Gabe Jackson was released. Plus, they could use a veteran wide receiver as long as they stay away from the biggest names who will command $10 million or more per season.

In the second half of the show, we talk about the Carolina Panthers trade up to the top spot in the draft and how that could impact the Seahawks. Would it be more likely to trade out of the fifth pick or the 20th spot? We take a look at the quarterback landscape as the hype around Anthony Richardson seems to have improved his draft outlook.

We close the show with a discussion around the Geno Smith contract as it compares to Derek Carr and Daniel Jones. The Arizona Cardinals and DoorDash need to Do Better. Better at Life awards go out to a Hall of Fame head coach and an outstanding NFL general manager.

EJ Snyder of Bootleg Football joined the show to discuss which players stood out at this year's NFL Combine in Indianapolis. Which QBs starred, should the Seahawks take a look at another cornerback who joined the 4.2 club, and which tight ends could be added to the Seahawks roster in a deep class. We talk about an outstanding athletic showing from Anthony Richardson, and a quarterback who matches a similar profile to Geno Smith who could be available after the first round for Seattle.

Should the Seahawks bring back Bobby Wagner? Feb 28, 2023

Bobby Wagner and the Los Angeles Rams have mutually agreed to part ways after his one season with the NFC West rival. Would the Seahawks be a good fit for a potential return for Wagner? Does Bobby still have enough left in the tank for one final season? Or, emotionally, does he deserve to close out his Hall of Fame career with the team he played so many years for if it's something he wants. We heard your feedback on Twitter this past week and wanted to react and respond to some of the things we heard.

400: Geno Smith - 2022 NFL Comeback Player of the Year Feb 21, 2023

In this milestone episode, we take a look back at the Super Bowl and how it could inform the Seahawks offseason strategy. Where does the team need to improve to be able to compete with teams like the Eagles and Chiefs (or even the San Francisco 49ers). We also get to know Geno Smith a bit better after his latest appearance on the Pivot Podcast. We get insight behind some of the more controversial moments in his career and how he was thinking about hanging up his cleats before coming to Seattle.

Derek Carr has been released by the Las Vegas Raiders. We discuss how his situation is different than Geno's, and why he could end up getting a bigger contract compared to Smith. Plus, can the curse end already? Russell Wilson's charity came under scrutiny recently, but how much should he own responsibility for it? Trash talking 49ers players and "the government" get grouped together in this week's Do Better segment, while a Seahawks fan and combination of MVP voter and vote recipient earn a spot in Better at Life.

Seahawks Draft Targets: Shrine Bowl and Draft Analysis with EJ Snyder of Bootleg Football Feb 07, 2023

EJ Snyder of Bootleg Football is back on the show this week as we talk about the East-West Shrine Bowl stand outs and which players should be on the radar of Seahawks fans. One player in particular who stood out was wide receiver Zay Flowers, who turned heads immediately and could now be a first round pick.

What should the Seahawks do with their top 5 pick? The Bears are widely believed to be trading out of the top spot. Should Seattle make a move for quarterback or the top defensive player? Or should they simply stay put and hope for chaos at the top of the draft and that one of the top two defensive players falls to that fifth spot? EJ offers his thoughts on the Seahawks draft position and how it relates to Geno Smith.

399: Improving the defense is key to the 2023 offseason Jan 27, 2023

As we put a bow on the 2022 season for the Seahawks, we talk about some of the milestones the team hit and the excitement for the future considering the rookies that showed potential. But will Geno Smith be a part of the Seahawks future? Should he be part of the future if the team's goal is to win a Super Bowl sometime in the next three years.

We take a look at the data in what successful teams have done in recent years and found that drafting a quarterback in the top 10 is a much bigger risk than drafting a defensive player in that same range. Plus, it has generally taken a top defense in points allowed to make a deep run into the postseason.

With free agency a topic to discuss over the next few weeks, we take our first look at the players who would be key for Seattle to re-sign and which ones could walk. There's one player in particular the Seahawks could go after if they wanted to make a big splash in free agency (if that player is available. But it would also be fun if they traded for another future first rounder to give us another team that we could cheer for their demise.

To close the show, a former Seahawks player and the Panini trading card company get called out to Do Better. Finally, the latest space effort and the fundraising drive by our Flock get the Better at Life honors.

PNW Prop Stars Season Finale: A Seahawks Prop Star is Crowned! Jan 21, 2023

Our first-ever PNW Prop Star of the Year is crowned! As Wilson discusses his trip to Santa Clara and Adam tries to understand why an "atmospheric river" decided to pull a no-show in northern, CA, Clinton calmly collects another weekly crown delivered to him by the Seahawks Ken Walker.

The crew then discusses the year that was, what lessons were learned, and why the results are obvious - you CAN bet your favorite team AND make $$$.

PNW Prop Stars season 1 comes to an end but we'll be back with some off-season fodder and of course the Sea Hawkers Podcast marches on with weekly shows and off-season specials.

From the podium: Pete Carroll looks ahead to the 2023 Seahawks offseason Jan 19, 2023

The Seahawks head coach was at the podium this week to reflect on some of the problems with the 2022 season and look ahead to the 2023 offseason. Was a change to the defensive scheme to blame? Or will they need to add competition on the line to create problems for opponents next year. With a top 5 draft pick, Carroll also addresses the idea of looking at the top QBs from this year's class. We also hear from Pete on the outlook for injuries to Jamal Adams, Jordyn Brooks, Rashaad Penny and others.

From the podium: The future of Geno Smith as Seahawks QB Jan 18, 2023

Following the playoff loss to the San Francisco 49ers, the question of the future of Geno Smith as the Seahawks quarterback was one of the most frequent questions. Pete Carroll, Tyler Lockett, DK Metcalf and Geno himself weighed in on his potential future with the team, although Metcalf seemed to be under the impression that Smith's future with the team was already secure. We also heard from Ryan Neal and Quandre Diggs, and Neal had a particularly emotional reaction to close the season.

Soooo close and yet... a loss to our biggest rivals. Brandan and Clinton spend the hour discussing the micro-moments from barely missed blocks to poor angles, to the fact that Ken Walker only ran the ball 2 times the entire second half!

But in true 3 IN, 3 OUT fashion, it's not at all, all bad. There was some great in this game that will propel us as we head into the 2023 season.

Live & UnCatfished: Seahawks vs Niners Playoff Postgame Reaction Jan 15, 2023

The Seattle Seahawks closed out their 2022 campaign with a playoff loss, and they gave us a glimmer of hope that they could move on to the next round. With a 17-16 lead coming out of the first half, the Seahawks fumbled away a chance to match the 49ers first touchdown of the second half. With the defense unable to make a stop after halftime, the offense never had a chance. One bit of good news, was that this game demonstrated a major area of need for the Seahawks to address this offseason.

PNW Prop Stars: Seahawks vs Niners Top Wild Card Bets Jan 14, 2023

Regulators, mount up! If this is our last ride we're going big! If you've followed along all year we are ALL in the $$$ and now we're aiming to each become THE PNW Prop Star of the Year! While Wilson takes some homer bets, Clinton's calling for Kittle & K9 to combine for most of the scoring. Meanwhile, Adam is over the over and laying most of the lumber on various unders.

Who will be the PNW Prop Star of the Year!!!? And heck, how about we beat the friggin' 49ers and have to play at least one more week!

The Seahawks face the 49ers for the third and final time today in the Wild Card round.

We hear from Geno Smith about execution on offense and how he failed to execute while lined up across from Jalen Ramsey in Sunday's game against the Rams.

398: Pete Carroll set his sights on the NFC West Frat Boys Jan 13, 2023

The 2022 regular season has come to a conclusion and Pete Carroll has finished the year with another winning record. Not only that, he swept both Kliff Kingsbury and Sean McVay on his way to a 9-8 season with Geno Smith under center. Now Kingsbury has been cast out of Arizona and reports are that McVay could be done in LA. That could leave us with just one NFC West Frat Boy remaining of the trio. But is there a route to where Pete is the last man standing in the division after this weekend?

First, the Seahawks would have to get a win over a San Francisco 49ers team that is considered one of the best teams in the NFL going into the post season. Their 10-game winning streak would have to come to an end. What factors at play this weekend actually favor the Seahawks? There's certainly some history on Seattle's side when it comes to Coach Carroll and the postseason.

Secondly, the loss dealt to the Niners would have to come in a devastating fashion, and in a way not unfamiliar to Kyle Shannahan. But is that really the way we would want to see our Seahawks win on Saturday? We all have something to say after the doubters wrote off the Seahawks 2022 season - and it's not over, yet! Bring on the playoffs and the San Francisco 49ers!

Live & UnCatfished: Seahawks vs Rams Postgame Reaction Jan 09, 2023

In the beginning of this season, we thought how nice it would be to have a season without expectations. A relatively stress free season where we can look ahead to the future and growth of a draft class we had high expectations for. Partway through the season, the record scratched and suddenly it looked like our team could actually make the playoffs. After a tough stretch our Seahawks needed to win their final two games and count on a bit of help. In this postgame reaction show, we react to the success of the overtime victory over the Rams and then cut to the final moments of our live postgame watch party between the Lions and Packers. Six months ago, this is not at all how we expected the regular season to end.

From the podium: Darrell Taylor feels that the Seahawks deserve a playoff spot Jan 08, 2023

The Seahawks coaches and players have been following the news of Damar Hamlin throughout the week, and a couple of the Seahawks veterans spoke candidly about their acceptance of the potential risks. DK Metcalf talked about his motivation to win, and it has nothing to do with spoiling Bobby Wagner's return to Seattle. Quandre Diggs offered his thoughts surrounding the NFL's scheduling decisions and how they're counting on the Lions for a win. We close with Darrell Taylor who can barely contain his excitement about the potential of playing in the playoffs.

PNW Prop Stars: Seahawks vs Rams Top Bets for Week 18 Jan 07, 2023

While Clinton looks for the SEA-pete, Adam and Wilson will battle it out for year-long PNW supremacy. The good news, all 3 of the boys are UP $$$ on the year! This week, Adam's going for the hawk-band, Wilson copies picks, and Clinton looks to make $$$ off a pair of Rams.

PNW Prop Stars is the ONLY Seahawks ONLY gambling show in the mutliverse. Good luck to all those playing along... Go Hawks & Go Lions!!!

397: Bobby Wagner Returns to Seattle Jan 06, 2023

The Seahawks get back to .500 with a win at home over the New York Jets in Week 17. It comes down to the final week against a division rival to see if the Seahawks can close the season with a winning record. But why did the NFL make a decision around the schedule that has the potential to impact the Seahawks playoff chances? Should it matter?

Bobby Wagner is making his first visit to Seattle since joining the Los Angeles Rams and nobody is talking about why he should or shouldn't be booed. Why is it so different from the situation with Russell Wilson back in the first week of the season?

We look at the situation the Seahawks find themselves in with the 2023 NFL Draft. They're guaranteed a top 5 pick thanks to the trade with the Broncos, and they could even end up with another top 10 pick depending on how the final week of the season plays out. We discuss what the worst outcome would be in terms of their draft status.

The guys also reflect back to earlier in the week when Damar Hamlin suffered a devastating injury and all of the thoughts that surrounding a moment that will stick with many of us for a long time. Fortunately, there have been several positive reports on his health as we approach the end of the week.

From the Podium: Ken Walker reflects on milestone rushing season Jan 04, 2023

As we look back to some of the highlights from the Seahawks win over the Jets, we hear from Pete Carroll on the impact of the tight ends in Sunday's game. DeeJay Dallas set a career high in scrimmage yards and Ken Walker hit a major franchise milestone. Quandre Diggs was asked about pumping up any former teammates to provide assistance to the Seahawks playoff chances if needed. Plus we also heard from Geno Smith, Quinton Jefferson and Cody Barton.

Live & UnCatfished: Seahawks vs Jets Postgame Reaction Jan 02, 2023

The Seahawks got out to an early lead against the New York Jets and never looked back. The Jets secondary, however, were able to shut down DK Metcalf limiting him to just three yards on the day. But it was Ken Walker and DeeJay Dallas combining for more than 200 yards that propelled the offense. Even though the defense gave up a fair share of explosive plays, they were able to make stops when necessary and limit the Jets to just two field goals. The win puts the Seahawks in position to take the seventh seed in the playoffs next week, but they're going to need some help. Tune in as we talk about the potential playoff scenarios if all goes to plan next week.

From the Podium: Geno Smith is wiser, has grown since his time with the Jets Jan 01, 2023

Tune in to hear from DK Metcalf on today's matchup against a talented pair of cornerbacks, including former Seahawks corner D.J. Reed. Sauce Gardner was a former college teammate of Coby Bryant and the rookie talked about his expectations of Gardner as a pro. Pete Carroll and Geno Smith are going up against their former team and each reflected on their time in New York.

Coordinators Clint Hurtt and Shane Waldron focused on some of the stronger aspects of the Jets they'll be up against in the matchup. Lastly, we get injury updates from Pete Carroll about what happened to Will Dissly and why he's out for the season as well as what he's looking for before announcing if we'll see Tyler Lockett on Sunday.

PNW Prop Stars: Seahawks vs Jets Top Bets for Week 17 Dec 31, 2022

This week on PNW Prop Stars, Adam rifles in his picks from the middle of an atmospheric river from an undisclosed location in Eastern Oregon. He bets on the Geno show to keep on rocking, Clinton thinks the party may be over and takes the under. Wilson, meanwhile, is unconvinced about the alleged talents of Mike White. The trio feels generally uneasy about this week's bets, as both sides of the ball begin to cause concerns for the Seahawks.

396: Geno Smith Revenge Tour - The Final Leg Dec 30, 2022

The Seattle Seahawks continue to struggle after the bye week. This past week, the defense was able to hold together well enough, but the offense struggled to put points on the board. Has that changed our feelings at all as to how the Seahawks should approach a potential contract this offseason with Geno Smith? Fortunately, this week presents a great opportunity for a revenge game for both Geno and Pete Carroll. It also gives Tariq Woolen an opportunity to steal the Defensive Rookie of the Year spotlight away from Sauce Gardner.

With the ability to make the playoffs on the line these final two weeks, and a road to secure the top spot in the 2023 NFL Draft, we take a look at the scenarios. Who do we need to be cheering on in Week 17? It gets a bit cloudy when it comes to the Lions and Packers games, though, because of the playoffs and the possibility for tie breaker scenarios as well as the Seahawks draft interest.

Four Seahawks made the Pro Bowl roster this year, but Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf were snubbed to the alternate list. Is it bias or are they taking votes from each other? Adam provides us with Tyler's theory in the Better at Life segment after he names the state with the worst winter drivers. The Cardinals franchise also needs to Do Better and Patrick Star helps close the show with his call featuring two former Seahawks.

Brandan and Clinton discuss the Chiefs game that was. Another tough battle where we just didn't seem to have the consistent firepower to put points on the board as we take our 5th loss in 6 games.

Mafe continues to play good run D, Forsythe stepped out for an injured Abe and yet not all fill-in players were positives as the likes of Laquon Treadwell cost the Seahawks precious yards.

Live & UnCatfished: Seahawks vs Chiefs Postgame Reaction Dec 26, 2022

All we want for Christmas is for yards to matter instead of the final score. The Seahawks defense was able to hold Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs to fewer than 300 yards on Saturday. But, on a day where the defense had some success (apart from creating turnovers) the offense wasn't effective enough to produce more than 10 points. Even with the loss, Seattle was helped by several other teams who stumbled this week and allowed them to stay in the playoff picture. The Rams even gave us a nice Christmas present by helping the Seahawks improve their draft position.

Pro Bowl selections were announced this week and Geno Smith was among the top quarterbacks selected. Tariq Woolen was the only rookie on the team to be selected and was joined on defense by safety Quandre Diggs. Jason Myers also made the team. Each player was on the podium this week to react to their selection and Pete Carroll offered his thoughts as well. We also hear from Geno, Pete and others about today's matchup against the Chiefs. It's expected to be a cold one, but Cody Barton and Will Dissly talk about their familiarity with cold weather games.

PNW Prop Stars: Seahawks vs Chiefs Top Bets for Week 16 Dec 24, 2022

Adam throws the red flag and dons a tin-foil hat as Wilson recaptures the PNW crown in a somewhat controversial manner. This week, our Seahawks might not win but it doesn't mean you can't win some $$$ off of this game. We've got props for Geno, Kelce, Chiefs RBs, and lots more to consider and there is $ to be had in this Chiefs / Seahawks matchup.

Put some cash under your Christmas tree and giddy-up with this week's PNW Prop Stars!

395: The Seahawks clinch 2nd place in the NFC West Dec 23, 2022

With the San Francisco 49ers win and losses by both the Cardinals and Rams, Arizona and LA are the only teams in competition for the cellar in the division. 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. But wouldn't this outcome have been considered a success six months ago?

It's going to be difficult though to stay above .500 with the Kansas City Chiefs as the next opponent on the schedule. However, the Chiefs weakness on defense has been the strength of the Seattle team this season. It has the potential to be a high scoring affair even without Tyler Lockett on the field to help the offense. Can the defensive staff concoct a way to slow down Patrick Mahomes and Travic Kelce though?

While we have the Broncos to thank for helping ensure Seattle won't finish below Arizona, it came at the potential expsene of the 2nd overall pick. With three weeks left in the season, it's going to take some serious work by the curse to get us back into that spot. A warning goes out to those in the pick'em league that everyone is watching and a warning goes out from Adam in 'Do Better' of the potential danger that exists when everyone is watching. We also discuss a 49ers beat writer is sick of answering stupid questions by Frisco fans. Better at life honors go out to a leader of the team and to a pair of fans who continue to remind everyone who is Better at Life Than Skip Bayless.

What If?… Seahawks vs Chiefs Preview (Regifted Edition) Dec 22, 2022

It's the season of giving! So, what if our Seahawks can deliver us a win this Christmas Eve??? Phil, Brandan, and Clinton examine the game that will be and discuss who besides Kelce might give us a headache and who besides DK can step up now that Lockett is giving his hand a rest? Can our special teams give us a chance? Can blitzing work or should we just give up on blitzing Mahomes and company? We discuss all this and much more on this week's Sea Hawkers What If? the most unique Seahawks PREVIEW show in the multiverse! Go Hawks!!

3 IN, 3 OUT: Your Unique Seahawks vs Niners Week 15 Recap Dec 20, 2022

The battle with our Bay Area rivals ended in a one-score affair, but was it really that close? Actually, yes. A few BIG mistakes and BLOWN coverages later and this game was gone. This game has us yearning for a third matchup in the playoffs. Give us one more chance to beat this Niners team! Let's look at the good and the bad that wasn't the BIG stuff on this week's 3 IN, 3 OUT!

Live and UnCatfished: Seahawks vs Niners Week 15 Postgame Reaction Dec 16, 2022

The Seahawks defense followed up their performance against the Panthers by holding the 49ers offense to a score that allowed their offense to have a shot late in the game. But was it largely the performance of the defense or the coaching on the Niners that allowed this game to stay as close? Game planning was also an issue for the Seahawks offense as Geno Smith spent a majority of his time stationary in the pocket to face a strong pass rush. We reflect on how the Seahawks 7-7 record tells the story of exactly what this team is this season. It's fine if you look at the bigger picture for this season and into next.

394: The Seahawks can't fix the run defense this season Dec 15, 2022

After 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 Josh Johnson on the field? Will it even matter considering that it's no secret how San Francisco should attack this Seahawks defense? The loss of Deebo Samuel will make it so Seattle has one player they don't have to account for in the run game.

It's a shorter show this week with the Thursday night game. But we still take time to see where the Seahawks draft picks are at for 2023. Can Denver manage to hold on to that second spot considering their schedule coming up and with the difficult schedule the Bears face? The Arizona Cardinals and the real person to blame for the latest Seahawks loss fall into the Do Better segment. Better at life honors go to a recent scientific breakthrough and to members of the Flock who helped to make the latest trip more enjoyable.

What If?… Seahawks vs 49ers Preview (Whiner Wahmbulance Edition) Dec 15, 2022

Mr. Phil the Protector of the Seahawks multiverse wants to hear the 49ers fans do what they do best, whine about the outcome. But can our Seahawks keep it close? Can we win on TNF???

Live and UnCatfished: Seahawks vs Panthers Week 14 Postgame Reaction Dec 12, 2022

The Seahawks defense can't stop the run and so the Carolina Panthers coaching staff did what any good team should do to Seattle - keep running the plays that work until they get stopped. There wasn't much the Seahawks could do to stop the Panthers attach as Carolina was routinely adding backup offensive linemen as fullbacks and tight ends. On a positive note, Tyler Lockett had some incredible catches in this game and we got to see some pass rushers get to Darnold. But, don't look now, we have a Seahawks division rivalry game coming up on a short week and they just had a big day running the football against Tampa.

PNW Prop Stars: Seahawks vs Panthers Top Bets for Week 14 Dec 10, 2022

All aboard the Geno train??? While Wilson is off doing journalistic things he fired his picks in and is wanting a BIG game from Goodwin! Clinton believes Geno is going off while Adam doesn't think we could stop modern day Ron Dayne if he were toting the rock against our Seahawks.

Will the stars turn up big to give Clinton's Fail Mary bet a chance OR will the Seahawks offense be subdued by these feisty kitties giving Adam's plays a bit more scratch?

What If?… Seahawks vs Panthers Preview (Here Kitty Kitty Edition) Dec 09, 2022

Will the Panthers Keep Pounding? Will Darnold lead with his feet? Will the Seahawks stars shine bright on Sunday and if yes, will it be a DK game, a Tyler game, or both!?

393: The Panthers are a Trifecta of Seahawks Kryptonite Dec 08, 2022

The 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 the call.

Next up on the schedule is the Carolina Panthers. With the Seahawks in position to make the playoffs, why is a 4-8 team a cause for concern? Can Seattle's defense stop an offense that is last in the league on first down? Or a team that is second worst in the league on 3rd down? Fortunately, this Panthers team meets both of those criteria, but they've also been playing tough over the past six weeks.

In the second half of the show, we take a look at where the Seahawks draft pick coming from the Broncos currently stands. Plus, both the Niners and Rams are going to have new quarterbacks at the helm for the rest of the season. We explore the worst-case scenario for the San Francisco quarterback situation. The Seahawks will have a decision to make a quarterback and one of those will be whether or not they'll be able to retain Drew Lock. We talk about why it seems more likely that he'll get a chance with another NFL team next season.

The Tennessee Titans and Bobby Wagner get called out to Do Better. Better at Life honors go out to Andrew Luck for telling the story behind his retirement and Tariq Woolen for leading the NFL in interceptions and setting a Seahawks franchise record.

From the Podium: Tariq Woolen Sets a Rookie Franchise Record Dec 07, 2022

DK Metcalf scored the game-winning touchdown to help Geno Smith lead his first fourth quarter comeback in a Seahawks uniform. Hear the call from Steve Raible on the Seahawks Radio Network as he celebrates the occasion on behalf of the fans. Tariq Woolen has reason to celebrate as he's now the franchise leader for interceptions by a rookie. Also, we heard from Pete Carroll and several Seahawks on facing off against their former teammate Bobby Wagner.

3 IN, 3 OUT: CP Holds To Allow DK To Catch Dec 06, 2022

The Seahawks return to starting in the IN column this week with the 27-23 victory over the Los Angeles Rams and we kick off the show with some Seahawks offensive moments from the first drive. 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? And finally, a tight end stole our hearts, stole the show, and ripped the MVC with a late-game display.

Live and UnCatfished: Seahawks vs Rams Week 13 Postgame Reaction Dec 05, 2022

Geno Smith earned his first 'stat' of the season with a fourth-quarter comeback over the Los Angeles Rams. Unfortunately, the comeback was partly due to the Seahawks defense allowing 171 rushing yards to a Rams offense that was playing with multiple backups. However, Geno pulled it off with a big game statistically that saw Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf both eclipsing 125 yards on the day and three total touchdown passes. DK caught the game-winning score and did it with Jalen Ramsey tugging at his back the whole way. Tune in as we recap the Seahawks seventh win of the season!

PNW Prop Stars: Seahawks vs Rams Top Bets for Week 13 Dec 03, 2022

Adam returns and he's eyeing the crown held by the Princetonian Kid, Wilson. Clinton and Adam Fant quit betting on TEs, Wilson says "Catfish" as he bets on Ken Walker and we're all in on a "band" bet trying to land that elusive Fail Mary.

392: Loss Turns Week 13 into a Dreaded Must-Win Game vs Rams Dec 02, 2022

Fans went into this week's game against the Raiders with the expectation for a win. It wasn't much different from the game against the struggling Tampa Bay team. So we explore why it could be that this loss hit fans a little bit harder than the one going into the bye week. 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 the Rams game on Sunday, there are a lot of unfamiliar names taking the field for LA. Despite the fact that Rams fans will be an endangered species in their home stadium, that they'll be starting a backup quarterback and that Seattle is coming in as a favorite by more than a touchdown - history plays a factor in how many of us feel coming into this game. We'll also see Bobby Wagner as he takes on his former team for the first time.

In the second half of the show, we start our weekly watch for where the Denver Broncos draft pick currently resides. After their loss to the Carolina Panthers, Seattle would have the third pick in the draft. Based on the Broncos schedule to close the season, is the second overall pick in range? One of our listeners needs to do better after infringing on Adam's trademark phrase, and Joe Fann has a poll out that should simply have 'both' as an option. Finally, Better at Life honors go out to the Seahawks for making an announcement we've been waiting for.

What If?… Seahawks vs Rams Preview (Lost Sheep Edition) Dec 01, 2022

The former Super Bowl Champions are in disarray this season and the Detroit Lions own the Lambs draft pick for this season. Does that make them more dangers down the stretch with nothing else to lose? McVay has already lost Stafford for several games along with Cooper Kupp, Allen Robinson, a number of offensive lineman and now future Hall of Famer Aaron Donald. But are there one or two wolves remaining among the pack who can stir up what's left and rally this Rams team? We talk about what strategies we want to see Pete Carroll and the Seahawks maintain to ensure victory on this week's Sea Hawkers What If? the most unique Seahawks PREVIEW show in the multiverse!

3 IN, 3 OUT: Your Unique Seahawks vs Raiders Recap Nov 29, 2022

Coming off the bye and starting on the OUT side of the ledger this week, because the Seahawks lost in overtime to a team that only had three wins on the season coming into this game. The run game struggled due to a couple players in the middle of the Seahawks offensive line, while the entire defensive line had difficulty throughout the game stopping the run and getting to the quarterback. There were a couple notable moments on the defense that ended up getting an IN and a receiver who came up with a big play that goes relatively unnoticed in the loss.

From the Podium: Pete Carroll reacts to Darrell Taylor coming off the bench mid-play Nov 29, 2022

After the loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, of course we need to hear what Pete Carroll has to say about the terrible run defense, or the inability to run the football. What we want to hear, though, is Pete's reaction to something that came to light following the game. On Quandre Diggs' first interception, Taylor ran onto the field to celebrate and when he realized the play was still going just acted like he was supposed to be on the field. If Pete is true to his word, we should learn about any potential consequences. Geno Smith and Tyler Lockett also talked about how the team can move forward after the loss.

Should the offense have put up more points in regulation? Does Drew Lock need to shave his mustache? These are all questions that we try and answer throughout this week's postgame reaction show.

391: Beware the rookie wall in the second half of the Seahawks season Nov 19, 2022

The Seahawks head into their bye week at 6-4 after some record predictions had Seattle at the bottom of the NFC West and winning only three games. 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?

Fortunately our Seahawks still have a winning record and the top spot in the division. Down in Denver, however, the Let's Ride Curse continues to impact the Broncos season. According to a former Seahawks player, Russell Wilson is losing his mind and using terminology that isn't even in the Broncos playbook.

As we look ahead to the second half of the season, there is a factor that could come into play with so many young starters on the team. We discuss the 'rookie wall' and why it could be a factor, the players who could fight through it, and the guys who could hurt the team most if they hit in.

Before we even get to the Mexico City game coming up on Monday, the expectation is that Cardinals fans need to do better. Bill Cowher needs to do better if he's going to be talking about putting in the work before someone deserves a head coaching job. Richard Sherman gets another Better at Life crown as the man who spawned the segment and the German 12s are recognized for their hospitality and enthusiasm at the game this week.

From the podium: Should Seahawks fans sing at Lumen Field? Nov 16, 2022

Geno Smith was on the podium following the Seahawks loss to the Bucs on Sunday and taking the blame for losing the ball in a critical moment. Both Geno and Pete Carroll talked about the condition of the field and the impact on the game. Bryan Mone was a healthy scratch for the game and Pete talked about what went into the decision and how the Bucs broke from their usual tendencies when they faced off against Seattle in Germany. Finally, do Seahawks fans need to come up with a song to sing together at the stadium?

3 IN, 3 OUT: Your Unique Seahawks vs Bucs Recap Nov 15, 2022

It's been a while since we've had to start the show on the OUT side of the ledger, but that's where we begin this week. We shine the spotlight on special teams as there were a couple bright spots on the day in the losing effort. Though, there were some negative moments, too. Despite a costly fumble, Geno fought to bring the team back in the second half in the face of a ground game that hadn't worked all day. Plus, Cody Barton was a different person that we'd like to see more of after his showing in the passing game this week. But why did it take so long for the tight ends to show up in this game, and how did it impact the rookie running back? We dive deep into the nooks and crannies this week!

Live and UnCatfished: Seahawks vs Bucs Postgame Reaction Nov 14, 2022

The Seattle Seahawks bounced back in the second half after getting shut out by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the first half. But it was a second half turnover inside the red zone that helped doom the Seahawks to a 21-16 loss. A non-existent run game, a terrible third down conversion rate and a defense that allowed the Bucs to run wild all day contributed to the loss. There were some weird penalties and energy around the game, too. We also talk about some of the bright spots with Tariq Woolen and Cody Barton both coming up with interceptions in the game.

390: Cardinals game is proof that Tariq Woolen has arrived Nov 10, 2022

The 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?

The Seahawks head to Germany to make history by playing in the first regular season game there. The Bucs haven't been playing well this season and barely squeaked out a win against the Los Angeles Rams to maintain their sub-.500 record good enough for the division lead. Does the comeback mean that Tom Brady is back to the point where the Seahawks defense should be on notice? Another win could help prove how the Seahawks belong in the discussion as one of the NFL's most complete teams.

Geno Smith's wristband got a lot of attention in the media this week. Are these types of nitpicky things on Russell Wilson's game trickling out on purpose? What purpose do stories like this serve for the Seahawks. Budda Baker and one of the show's co-hosts were embarrassed this past week and need to do better. Better at life honors go out to Seahawks offensive line coach Andy Dickerson and the Bleacher Report video team.

From the Podium: DK cites Tyler as a mentor for his toe-tap skills Nov 09, 2022

In the Seahawks 31-21 win over the Arizona Cardinals, we got to see some fancy footwork in the back of the end zone by DK Metcalf. DK was asked if he knew for sure that he had the touchdown. Geno Smith talked about the three touchdown drives he led in the second half and what those drives say about the team. Ryan Neal got his moment on the podium to talk about the forced fumble he made to help keep points off the board heading into halftime. Finally, we hear from Pete Carroll as we're already looking ahead to Sunday's game in Germany against the Bucs.

3 IN, 3 OUT: Uncle Will's Really Good Week Nov 08, 2022

Just 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 the receiving game.

Live and UnCatfished: Seahawks vs Cardinals Week 9 Postgame Reaction Nov 07, 2022

After spotting the Arizona Cardinals seven points and allowing the NFC West rival to take the lead, the Seahawks offense turned things around and never looked back on their way to a 31-21 victory. Ken Walker took over the second half of the game and helped close out the victory along with a big play by Noah Fant. Tyler Lockett came up short on a third down earlier in the game and then redeemed himself with a big third down pickup and touchdown in the second half. We also give credit to Ryan Neal, Tariq Woolen and the Seahawks defense to help limit DeAndre Hopkins to just four catches for minimal gains on the day.

For the Fail Mary, Clinton constructs a complex parlay, while Wilson takes the show in a direction it has yet to go to this date; meanwhile, Adam uses his Fail Mary to hedge his previous bets, on the off-chance that the Cardinals offense comes to play.

389: The Seahawks defense steps up to shut down the Giants offense Nov 04, 2022

After dominating the New York Giants last week, the Seahawks remain at the top of the NFC West standings. 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 to escape from the pocket.

The defense will be tested in a different way this week now that DeAndre Hopkins is back in the lineup for the Arizona Cardinals. Will the coaching staff make the smart move to avoid matching up Hopkins on Tariq Woolen, or will they try and go after the rookie corner? And will the addition to the passing game help open up a run game for the Cardinals that got shut down just a couple weeks ago. Another question is if the Cardinals defense will attack the Seattle offense the same way or if they'll now try and shut down Ken Walker and the Seahawks run game.

It was the trade deadline for the Seahawks this week. Were there any trades we wish the Seahawks would have been able to get in on? We run through the list of trades and the compensation. Do better call outs go to the national media for hyping up a 49ers team that simply won a game they always win and for some recent airline trouble. NFL Films and a Seahawks special teamer earn Better at Life honors.

From the Podium: Tyler Lockett bounces back after early struggles vs Giants Nov 01, 2022

The Seahawks got the 27-13 victory over the New York Giants on Sunday, but heading into the fourth quarter the outcome was nowhere near close to a lock. Part of that were due to some uncharacteristic struggles by Tyler Lockett who failed to get both feet in bounds on a touchdown catch, fumbled the ball near the goal line and hand a touchdown catch glance off his facemask and fall incomplete. Pete Carroll revealed what he said to Tyler following that play, even though Lockett said he wasn't sure Pete was telling the truth.

Live and UnCatfished: Seahawks vs Giants Postgame Reaction Oct 31, 2022

The Seattle Seahawks run defense was questionable, and that's being generous, through the first few weeks of the season. It was enough to give pause to the idea that they'd be able to stop Saquon Barkley and Daniel Jones. The defensive line had another solid performance finishing the day with five sacks and holding Barkley under 60 yards. Jones also struggled to make plays on the ground.

The Seahawks offense sputtered throughout the first three quarters due to some uncharacteristic drops. The Giants defense came in prepared to stop Ken Walker and held him relatively in check. But Geno Smith was able to help put the game out of reach with a five-play, five-pass drive that ended with a 33-yard touchdown catch by Tyler Lockett.

388: The Loser is Not For Real Bowl Oct 27, 2022

Since the season started with the Seahawks Super Bowl (facing off against Russ and the Denver Broncos), Adam is continuing with the theme of naming a lot of these matchups. Geno Smith is on the third leg of his "revenge tour" as one listener points out that he's 2-0 now going up against Russ and a former team in the Chargers. This week's theme? The loser is not for real.

There are questions surrounding both the Giants and the Seahawks if their success can be sustainable throughout the season and are legitimate playoff teams. This game should decide which team is not a legit contender. This game will also let us know if the improvements Seattle made on defense to defend the run will hold up. Not only do they face a talented back in Saquon Barkley, Daniel Jones has been running wild on teams as well.

The Seahawks are now on top of the division after their win over the Chargers last week. The Arizona Cardinals and 49ers aren't far behind though. Plus, Frisco made a big more this week to acquire a running back to help them down the stretch. But will it be a good move for the long term? Congratulations to Hard Tellin' Not Knowin'! for the Week 6 pickem win and Toonhawk for the Week 7 win. In Do Better, some of the criticism around Russ is starting to go too far and a Chargers fan was photographed going over the line of decency this week. Better at life honors go out to a college football player and to DK Metcalf.

3 IN, 3 OUT: The Seahawks defense is heating up! Oct 25, 2022

For two weeks in a row now, we've seen notable improvements on the defensive side of the football by the Seahawks. Whether it was a defensive adjustment, improved communication through a players only meeting on defense, or a combination of those things - it appears to be working. Can they carry the momentum into this week's game against the Giants? We dive into the nooks and crannies of the win over the Chargers as Jordyn Brooks appears to be back on track, Quandre Diggs had a big time tackle that may go overlooked, and the Seahawks offensive line was making some key blocks for Ken Walker.

Live and UnCatfished: Seahawks vs Chargers Postgame Reaction Oct 24, 2022

The Seattle Seahawks went on the road and thumped the Los Angeles chargers 37-23 this week. Geno Smith was on point, efficient and likely has a better day if not for a couple passes that should have been caught. Ken Walker had a breakout game rushing for more than 150 yards and two touchdowns. On defense, we're much closer to seeing a trend of solid defense. What changed in the past couple weeks? Pete Carroll provided some clues in one of his interviews this week. On top of the win, we get to celebrate losses to the Niners and Broncos.

From the Podium: Carroll compares D'Wayne Eskridge to Golden Tate Oct 23, 2022

The Seahawks take on the Los Angeles Chargers on the road today and we heard a lot of praise on the podium for some of the stars on offense.

Tariq Woolen was all smiles talking about his combine meeting with Pete Carroll and Clint Hurtt. Hurtt, Shane Waldron and Jordyn Brooks also previewed some of the matchups to watch.

387: Defense (somewhat) Optional Bowl II preview Oct 13, 2022

The Seahawks came back to take the lead after being down two scores going into the fourth quarter against the New Orleans Saints. Unfortunately, it was the defenses inability to stop Taysom Hill from doing anything that showed up once again in the fourth quarter and allowed the go ahead score. There were some moments in the game where questionable calls played a part, and we discuss those too, but this was a game that the defense should have the ability to put away. Of course, special teams didn’t help out the team in this game either. So, should we as Seahawks fans be upset with how this season is playing out? Or should we be content?

Seattle fans shouldn't be content with a loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Don't be fooled by the close score against the Philadelphia Eagles last week, because this Cardinals team is not good. They deserve to be at the bottom of the division and so the Seahawks could and should be the ones to put them there. Seattle may not even be the second worst team in the division this season after seeing what's going on down in Los Angeles.

With that said, should playoffs be a consideration for Seattle this season? We get into it in the second half of the show. This week we have a tentative title for Adam's Garbage Time Picks. We're open to other listener suggestions going forward. Even knowing that he needed about 13 picks right, Adam couldn't take the lead. Instead it was a tie for the win this week in pick'em betwee Fant-astic Stalactit(e)s and Uncle Will's Mustache. The designer of truck stop and rest station bathrooms needs to Do Better along with the video team for the New Orleans Saints. Richard Sherman and the Seattle Mariners earned a spot in Better At Life.

3 IN, 3 OUT: Your Unique Seahawks vs Saints Recap Oct 11, 2022

After several years of pulling the INs and OUTs from the micro moments in the game, we've come across one where most of the biggest moments were in the biggest plays. On the long run by Taysom Hill, we talk about the player who got pushed out of the play the most. When the Seahawks needed to come back after going down in the third quarter, there was a drop by a player who rarely drops the football and it would have extended a drive. Of course there was one of our defensive team captains that we had to celebrate, because when he makes big plays, he jumps off the screen.

Live and UnCatfished: Seahawks vs Saints Postgame Reaction Oct 10, 2022

Once again the Seahawks defense struggled to keep the opposition out of the end zone. Taysom Hill and Alvin Kamara teamed up to rush for more than 200 yards on the ground and put up 39 points. The defense managed two takeaways on the day, but struggled inside the red zone. The offense for the Seahawks put up more than 30 points again and Geno Smith nearly had 300 yards on the day if not for a costly penalty that took a deep touchdown to DK Metcalf off the board. Decisions by the officiating crew also played a part in two key moments. Can we be content with knowing the Seahawks could be in position to draft top talent on defense, or will they be able to fix things this season in time to compete for a division title?

The Seattle Seahawks are back on the road and playing another early game, this week against the New Orleans Saints. They're coming off a loss on the road in England last week and are looking to bounce back after falling to 1-3 on the season. Clint Hurtt offered his thoughts on the defensive performance last week. Rashaad Penny and Geno Smith praised their teammates after getting honored for their offensive performances last week. Coby Bryant and Tariq Woolen gave their thoughts on the matchup with Alvin Kamara. DK Metcalf wants to know how people found out the reason he got carted off the field last week. Finally, we close with some injury updates from Pete Carroll.

As we look ahead to the Week 5 matchup for the Seahawks, we reflect on a time when the Saints were often referred to as the Aint's, due to years of terrible play. Can the defense turn things around this week against a Saints offense that has been struggling this season? How might the defense take an aggressive approach to create turnovers? Plus, after a quarter of the season, who are some players we're still waiting to see bigger and better things from with the belief they can show growth this season?

386: Geno Smith is officially on Rich Gannon career resurgence watch Oct 06, 2022

With the Seahawks 48-45 performance against the Detroit Lions, it helped earn several players league-wide recognition for their performance. Geno Smith was named player of the week, Rashaad Penny earned the honor of the ground player of the week and Tariq Woolen was among the finalists for top defensive honors. 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 early in the season working their way back into the lineup. There are also reason to believe that the Seahawks offense and Geno Smith can have sustained success. Geno is officially on the Rich Gannon late-career surge watch list. If you don't know who Gannon is, we explain.

The Seahawks will face a difficult test on the road this week though as they take on the New Orleans Saints. Pete Carroll has lost three straight regular season games against the Saints and Geno was at the helm the last time these two teams faced. Will Alvin Kamara play this week and what would his presence mean toward the game's outcome? Can Nick Vannett be the relatively anonymous tight end this week that destroys the Seahawks defense?

In the second half of the show, we take a look at the state of the Los Angeles Rams as they suffered yet another loss to the 49ers. Which 2-2 team in the NFC West is in the driver seat for the conference title? There was one moment from that Monday Night Football that will be etched in our memory though and we discuss it in both the Do Better and Better at Life segments on this week's show.

From the Podium: Penny comes up with a big play on 3rd down Oct 05, 2022

In addition to celebrating a 48-45 victory, the Seahawks were able to celebrate an addition to the Meyers family after the game. Rashaad Penny was a big factor in the win over the Lions after running for a touchdown on a 3rd and 16 and going over 150 yards on the day. DK Metcalf also had a big day and clarified his comments from before the game regarding the Detroit cornerback he faced off against. Quandre Diggs had a chance to reflect on his return to the city where he started his NFL career. Finally, Pete Carroll talked about a couple players on Monday who we can expect to see getting more snaps in the weeks ahead.

Glover Quinn of Bleav in Lions previews Sunday's matchup Oct 01, 2022

Former Detroit Lions safety Glover Quin joined the show this week to preview the matchup between the Lions and Seahawks. Amon-Ra St. Brown and D'Andre Swift were questionable toward the middle of the week and are now out, which made it difficult to predict how this matchup could go. Quin talks about some of the questions surrounding the team coming out of the game against the Vikings and heading into the matchup with the Seahawks.

The video of the interview is available on YouTube.

385: Seahawks lack on consistency on defense is holding the team back Sep 29, 2022

The 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 is among the worst (if not the worst) in the league and they have solid pass catchers and a strong run game when they're healthy. But with injuries to key players on the Lions offense, could we see the Seahawks defense step up?

In the second half of the show, we enjoy some 49ers vs Broncos schadenfreude. We may have a new segment for the show as Adam continues to forget to make his picks ahead of the games. Matt Calkins of the Seattle Times and Patrick Daugherty both need to do better considering their takes on the Seahawks this past week. Finally, NASA and hurricane reporters earn a better at life nod this week.

From the Podium: Seahawks offense hit several key markers for success Sep 28, 2022

On Monday, after the loss to the Atlanta Falcons, Pete Carroll explained why he has optimism for the offense going forward. He listed a number of key areas that usually spell success for the Seahawks if those particular goals are reached. We also heard from Uchenna Nwosu and Will Dissly about their part in some key plays. Geno Smith said overall they executed better on offense in this game than in previous games.

Live and UnCatfished: Seahawks vs Falcons Postgame Reaction Sep 26, 2022

In the first two games of the season, the Seahawks defense struggled against the run. It was no different against the Falcons as they failed to contain Cordarrelle Patterson. In addition, they gave up a 3rd and 19 that allowed Atlanta to continue a key drive in the first half. In this post-game show we take a look at some of the moments that ultimately cost Seattle a win, especially considering how they had an opportunity to pull through at the end of the game.

The Seattle Seahawks are back at home this week and taking on a rival bird team in the Atlanta Falcons. So we are taking flight on this week's edition of What If and explore topics around the themes of flying high, flying right and learning to fly. Can DK Metcalf catch some high flying long balls?

384: Penalties, turnovers and emotions bring Seahawks back down to Earth Sep 22, 2022

After flying high from a Week 1 victory over the Denver Broncos, the Seahawks returned to earth following their matchup in Santa Clara. 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 the schedule this offseason. The Falcons made a strong effort to come back against the Rams last week and gave up a big lead to the New Orleans Saints in Week 1. There's one player for Atlanta who the Seahawks may not have a good answer for on defense. Plus, they're a team that has found a run game after Matt Ryan left for Indianapolis.

Fans got the news this past week that Shaun Alexander is being inducted into the Seahawks Ring of Honor coming up in October. We are also forced to come up with a rationale that allows us as fans to be okay with the San Francisco 49ers going on a two-game win streak. We close the show by calling out a rogue agent in the guest booking industry and to an event that caused hotel prices to skyrocket in Oregon. Better at life honors go out to an NFL fan base that discovered a new and creative way to motivate their team's coach.

From the Podium: Did a Week 1 victory emotionally impact Sunday's loss? Sep 21, 2022

The Seahawks were riding a wave of positive emotions coming off the Monday Night Football win. Did that have an impact on how the team played Sunday against the 49ers? Pete Carroll, Geno Smith and Quandre Diggs each offered their perspective on if that was a factor in the loss. Tyler Lockett talked about some of the struggles offensively and took accountability for what he could have done differently to prevent a key turnover.

3 IN, 3 OUT: Seahawks DBs set negative tone early vs Niners Sep 20, 2022

In a 27-7 loss where the offense failed to score, one would think there is little to point to in terms of the positives. But this is 3 IN, 3 OUT where we will always look for some positive components of the game to balance out the negatives we saw. There was a rookie on the Seahawks offense whose numbers jumped off the screen especially compared to an NFL veteran. Plus, a rookie on defense could be poised to see more playing time if he keeps producing the numbers we saw against the Niners. Sit back and enjoy as we get into some of the micro-moments (both positive and negative) from this week's game against the San Francisco 49ers.

Live and UnCatfished: Seahawks vs Niners Postgame Reaction Sep 19, 2022

With the loss to the San Francisco 49ers, the Seahawks NFC West rival was finally able to get their win percentage up over .300 against Pete Carroll. Seattle's inability to get the run game going with either Rashaad Penny or Ken Walker was a major part of Seattle failing to score on offense. Of course the ridiculously terrible throw by Deejay Dallas at the goal line didn't help things much either. On the defensive side, the Seahawks defense couldn't do much to stop the run and multiple pass interference penalties allowed the 49ers to extend key drives. But there were some special teams moments to highlight!

Jordyn Brooks talked about some communication problems the defense had with the noise at Lumen Field against the Broncos.

What If?… Seahawks vs 49ers Preview (Dull Lance Edition) Sep 16, 2022

The San Francisco 49ers have their first home game this weekend as the Seattle Seahawks come to town. After such a big win for Seattle this past week, should we expect that the players to come down from an emotional high? What will we be looking for if the pass defense plays well enough to stop the Niners and how can the defense contain the duel threat Deebo Samuel provides? We talk about some of the younger players we'd like to get sharper in this game and what the offense can do to take the home fans out of this game.

383: A win Pete Carroll really, really wanted for the Seahawks Sep 15, 2022

We 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 the division rival San Francisco 49ers. The Niners are going to open up their season at home against Seattle coming off an unexpected loss to the Chicago Bears. The pressure is now on a young quarterback to bounce back from that loss to ensure the team doesn't fall two games back of the division lead right out of the gate. If we can believe coach Mike Martz's comments, maybe the Seattle defense doesn't have much to worry about with this week's quarterback, but the Seahawks offense will have to deal with going up against a much tougher defense.

In the second half of the show, we get to continue to gloat about the Seahawks leading the NFC West as each of the teams within the division lost this past week. Plus, we congratulate Mafevourite Pancakes Are Abe's as this week's pick'em league winner. Do Better call outs go to Peter King and Brett Favre, while better at life honors go to Pete Carroll and Seahawks fans at the game.

3 IN, 3 OUT: Big 'ol Captain Thigh Arms Al Woods Does it Again Sep 14, 2022

The Seattle Seahawks are leading the NFC West after a big win on Monday Night Football. Which players or coaches were responsible for showing up in some of the micro moments that helped lead to victory? There's at least one player who not a lot of Seahawks fans will be familiar with, but as we saw in another NFL game - it's a position that can have a big impact. Plus, Al Woods showed up in one of the biggest moments of the game, as the captain helped lead the team to victory.

Live and UnCatfished: Seahawks vs Broncos Postgame Reaction Sep 13, 2022

The Seattle Seahawks faced off against Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos in Week 1 of the 2022 NFL season. With less than a minute on the clock, the Broncos ran down the clock to 20 seconds and elected to take a shot at a 64-yard field goal rather than go for it on 4th and 5. That's why the Broncos traded their future draft picks away? To make a decision like that?

Regardless of the bad coaching decision at the end of the game, the Seahawks defense came up big inside the Red Zone. The defense turned over the Wilson-led offense and held them to just 16 points on the day. The 17 points from the offense in the first half was ultimately enough to pull off the victory for our Seahawks!

Also, is Pete Carroll among the best or worst in the league when it comes to beating the spread? You'll find out in this week's show.

382: Russell Wilson returns to Seattle for Week 1 Seahawks kickoff Sep 06, 2022

The 2022 NFL season kicks off with a bang as Russell Wilson returns to Seattle for his first game in a Broncos uniform. What do we need to see from our Seahawks to pull off a Week 1 upset over Denver? Pete Carroll knows what Russ wants to do, and Wilson knows how Pete wants to operate on defense. But will Wilson want to take what he knows Carroll will give him on defense, or will he stay true to how he's wanted to win over the past 10 years?

For the Seahawks on defense, the biggest key may be stopping the Denver Broncos on the ground. With the tandem of backs the Broncos have in the backfield, it could make Wilson's day a whole lot easier if they're able to dominate the Seahawks defensive line. Although the Broncos are considered among the favorites in the AFC, we go through their roster and wonder if Russ really did upgrade his situation offensively by leaving.

In the second half of the show, we take a look at the quarterback situation for the San Francisco 49ers as it got a lot more interesting this past week. Elsewhere in the division, Aaron Donald has found the NFL's blind spot for maximum violence against an opposing team with minimum punishment. Managers of the Colorado River and Russell Wilson both need to do better as the Let's Ride Curse continues to have visible impacts in the world. Better at life honors go out to a former Seahawks player on offense and a current Seahawks player on defense.

3 IN, 3 OUT: Seahawks vs Cowboys Unique Preseason Review Aug 29, 2022

Three preseason games and three preseason losses for our Seattle Seahawks. However, in true 3 IN, 3 OUT fashion, there are some positive takeaways when it comes to giving Geno Smith some opportunities for success heading into Week 1. Plus, we got some information on which cornerbacks we'd like to see starting for Seattle considering some of the injuries. Dee Eskridge made it on the field and showed that he can get some yards, but can also be compared to an infamous punt returner. Did former Seahawks CB Tre Flowers make an appearance? If it wasn't him, there's one Seattle DB who made a very clear impersonation.

Geno Smith has been named the starter after a multiple turnover performance by Drew Lock against the Cowboys. What is the soonest we could see Lock now that Smith has won the job? Or was that the kind of performance that limits Drew to the backup spot until there is an injury? We get into some of the positive aspects of what we saw from the game against the Cowboys and some of the positive aspects of having Geno as QB1. However, that means Seattle will be limited in the number of mistakes it can make if they're going to be expected to be competitive and win games this season.

Drew Lock is expected to play a majority of the game against the Cowboys as Dallas is expected to sit most of their starters.

Is the underdog position Drew finds himself in enough to take action on a potential surprise ahead of his preseason performance?

381: Drew Lock is set to start for the Seahawks final preseason game Aug 23, 2022

There are some positive takeaways coming out of the second preseason game against the Chicago Bears - as long as you really stretch what you consider as positives. The Seahawks first round pick Charles Cross had a chance to match up with one of the top pass rushers in the NFL and showed out well despite not knowing who Robert Quinn is. Geno Smith, if he gets the start, will have to starting receivers to throw to rather than they guys who aren't standing out as a clear third or fourth option.

Seahawks fans will get to see Drew Lock coming up in this week's game against the Dallas Cowboys. Will he be able to do enough to earn a start against the Broncos or has Pete Carroll already made that decision? Based on what we've seen (or haven't) from players like Marquise Blair, Dwayne Eskridge, Marquise Goodwin, L.J. Collier or Ryan Neal - we see some cuts of some high draft picks or free agent acquisitions.

In the second half of the show, there's one quarterback the Seahawks could consider if he's cut by his current team. There's another guy who won the starting job that Seattle should have tried harder to get. Then there's another quarterback who can just decide when he wants to be at practice and when he doesn't. People who put they're Venmo name out in public for random celebrations and an event charging way too much for an essential item both need to do better. Better at life honors go out to firefighters again along with a pair of little league baseball players.

Live and UnCatfished: Seahawks vs Bears Postgame Reaction Aug 19, 2022

With dropped passes and penalties being an issue throughout the team, the Seahawks got out to a slow start and didn't recover until the final minutes of the game. Special teams was a liability at multiple points in the game. In the second half, Jacob Eason led the team to one touchdown and had the second one called back, but at least it led to some entertainment that we hadn't gotten for the first 55 minutes of the game.

380: Seahawks trenches look good vs Steelers, Lock forced to sit out vs Bears Aug 18, 2022

After losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday, the Seahawks were left with a short week to prepare for the Chicago Bears. Thursday's matchup was supposed to feature Drew Lock with the first-team offense, but shortly following that announcement was another announcement that the former Broncos QB would have to sit out. Will this change how the Seahawks approach who ultimately starts for the team in Week 1?

We look back to the Steelers game at some of the positive and negative takeaways from the first outing of the season. The rookie cornerbacks could not stop a Steelers rookie receiver and one of the two found himself on his back on one play in the first quarter. Seattle's offensive and defensive lines showed promise throughout the game. Unfortunately, the defense was difficult to evaluate as a whole because of all the missed tackles. We discuss why that's the least concerning of the issues we saw on defense.

With Thursday's matchup against the Chicago Bears, what are some of the key things to watch? Geno Smith will now get the start and we'll likely get to see Jacob Eason get some extended time on the field. Can the corners bounce back after that rough outing? There's one player in particular we hope to see with snaps against the Bears first-team offense after a nice debut.

In the second half of the show, we discuss our anniversary of the show. We also talk about which NFC West team seems to be the most excited after the first week of preseason action. We call on the NFL Network and a local police department to do better. Better at life nods go out to Montana fire fighters and to a group of people who picked up some slack in recent days.

What If?… Seattle Seahawks vs Chicago Bears Preview Aug 17, 2022

It's a short week following the first preseason game on the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now the Seahawks are back home and taking on the Chicago Bears. If the Seahawks don't improve in one area that caused some concern from the first preseason game, what would make this season unbearable. What about from the quarterback spot? With the first home game this week, what are some potentially fun moments that we could see? Which players need some big moments to make the 53-man roster? Is there a goldilocks zone for playing time for starters this week? Finally, the guys close with a score prediction for this upcoming game.

Live and UnCatfished: Seahawks vs Steelers - Preseason Week 1 Aug 14, 2022

The Seattle Seahawks fell to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday, 32-25, and fans got one full half of each quarterback. Geno Smith led a touchdown drive at the end of the first half, Drew Lock kept the team in the game and had an opportunity to lead the team to a win at the end. Adam and Clinton react to the quarterback battle as well as the pass rushers who stood out. Should we see a switch at starter for the next preseason game? The run game also stood out on the day and there was a negative aspect to the defense that really showed, but may not be unusual for the first outing of the season.

The unedited and uncatfished version is available on YouTube along with some technical difficulties that were removed from this edition.

PNW Prop Stars: Is Geno Smith a good bet as the Seahawks Week 1 starter? Aug 12, 2022

It's the inaugural episode of PNW Prop Stars! While nobody likes to bet on their favorite team to lose, there are some bets that can make sense based on how well you know the team you watch the most. In this episode, Clinton, Adam and Wilson discuss whether it's worth taking a shot on Pete Carroll as a longshot coach of the year candidate. Should you hammer the over on Rashaad Penny's rushing yard considering his history with injuries?

Once the regular season hits, there will be prop bets to discuss for the upcoming game. Against the Steelers though, the spread or the money line are about the extent of the options for Saturday. Wilson already is making a case for one scenario where you may want to bet against your own team. Is that okay as long as it's just the preseason? There may be some disagreement there, but everyone has a strong case for who to bet on as the Week 1 starter.

3 IN, 3 OUT: What if…tiny hands can give us a sign? Aug 11, 2022

The 2022 preseason is underway for the Seahawks this Saturday as they take on the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road. Kenny Pickett, rookie quarterback for the Steelers, became infamous this offseason for his hand size and that leads into this week's theme. As we look toward the game, where are some of the signs that we can get from the Seahawks - both positive and negative. What do we need to see for a thumbs up? What would we see if we're giving a thumbs down. How about some excitement that would make us throw up some jazz hands? It's all in this week's 3 IN, 3 OUT What If...? preview show!

Ahead of Saturday's mock game, we heard of Tyler Lockett taking advantage of a new offseason career in real estate and his thoughts on the new wide receiver coach. Rookie Boye Mafe talked about the feeling of getting back into pads ahead of the game. Pete Carroll offered up some insight on Mafe and some of the other newest Seahawks and his latest thoughts on the quarterback competition. In the mock game, Tariq Woolen gave up the only passing touchdown of the game. However, he was in position to make the play and it took some incredible concentration (and maybe some luck) by Cody Thompson to come up with the catch. Geno Smith and Drew Lock offered up their reflections on their performances in the mock game.

Live & UnCatfished: Seahawks Mock Game Reaction Aug 09, 2022

The Seahawks played a mock game on Saturday and the reports coming out of the game were that Drew Lock outperformed Geno Smith. Yet the performance wasn't worthy enough for Lock to get more time with the first team offense the following day. A couple players on defense stood out among the reports and how should the Seahawks approach special teams with the potential for improving field position.

We also got a chance to hear from rookies Charles Cross, Ken Walker and Coby Bryant. Offseason free agent acquisition Uchenna Nwosu also joined the group and talked about some of his work in Africa with the NFL.

379: Seattle Seahawks 2022 Season Expectations Aug 05, 2022

The 2022 season has arrived! However, with the departure of Russell Wilson and Bobby Wagner in the offseason, the expectations for this team have decreased significantly. But will this team finish among the worst in the NFL even with the loss of talent? We'll talk about who has the lead for the starting QB job as training camp gets underway and how the coaching staff should approach the competition. No matter who starts behind center, can the passing game be effective enough to allow the running game to be productive?

Considering the offseason changes made to the team, there are greater expectations for the defense to improve. But what position group does the success of the entire team rest upon? Is it the defensive line that lost three of their top pass rushers from last season? The linebacker group now that Bobby Wagner has left? Or is it the secondary with the strength at safety, but questions at corner?

We also take a look at some of the latest news around the NFC West as Trey Lance was named starter for the Niners. The Rams have questions at quarterback with Matt Stafford suffering through elbow pain in the preseason. Arizona also has their share of drama at QB with the details of the Kyler Murray contract coming out this past week.

Closing the show, the judge who came up with a six-game suspension for Deshaun Watson makes us question the decision based on the findings of the evidence she reviewed. The last couple weeks also showed how many teams could do something the Seahawks couldn't this offseason. Better at life honors go to a USA Today reporter for covering the latest Russell Wilson meme and to a pair of Seahawks who recently retired.

Darrell Taylor talked about the areas of his game that he needs to improve on and about his teammates on the defensive line. Defensive coordinator Clint Hurtt talked about the development of the starting inside linebackers.

On Thursday last week, DK Metcalf agreed to a 3-year contract extension to stay with the Seattle Seahawks. But based on why he wanted to stay in Seattle, does that mean we can expect an even longer Seahawks career for DK? After the deal was inked, head coach Pete Carroll, general manager John Schneider, and DK sat down with reporters to talk about the journey to this point and expectations ahead for the standout receiver.

Looking back at Wednesday and Thursday last week, the first two days of training camp where coach Pete Carroll and Seahawks players spoke to the media.

Big Announcement: An Entire Lineup of Shows for 2022 Jul 30, 2022

As we go into our 10th season of the podcast, we're making some big changes to the lineup! Live post-game reaction shows are coming back this year and we have a plan for daily shows throughout the week. Tune in and hear the full lineup of shows and we'll be talking about it more in an upcoming episode.

378: Los Angeles Rams - Know Your Rival 2022 Jul 26, 2022

In the final week of our Know Your Rival series for 2022, we take our time trying to work up the interest in talking about this particular rival. The Los Angeles Rams caught so many big breaks throughout the post-season last year that it still is difficult to talk about this upcoming year without thinking back to the previous season. Plus, we have to consider that they should earn a similar curse for signing our future Hall of Fame linebacker.

Not only did the Rams pay a former Seahawks star, they paid just about everyone who was primarily responsible for the big year last season. Matt Stafford, Aaron Donald and Cooper Kupp all got paid this offseason. We discuss which contract has the bigger chance to ultimately hurt the franchise. One could argue, though, that those contracts are already hurting the team and their chances at a possible repeat. Losing solid starters on the offensive line, defensive line, in the secondary and on special teams all have the ability to close whatever margin that allowed them to overcome close games in the playoffs last year. Maybe it even allows the Seahawks to finally turn the tables on the Sean McVay coached team.

In the second half of the show, we talk how the Arizona Cardinals put off signing Kyler Murray for a week. It kept us from discussing how terrible of a move it really is on last week's rival episode. Seahawks fans in Germany aren't getting enough credit for causing the spike in demand that has prices skyrocketing for the game against Tampa Bay this season. But did any Sea Hawkers in the area get tickets? We get into other nonsense like bananas, robots and must see 80s movies for the family. The Madden franchise dominates our Do Better segment, and Better at Life honors go to new space technology and a Hall of Fame quarterback.

377: San Francisco 49ers - Know Your Rival 2022 Jul 19, 2022

The Seattle Seahawks dominance over the 49ers is not a recent phenomenon. Seattle has owned the Niners since coming into the division in 2002. Although, their stake in ownership really didn't begin until the 2003 season. Since that time, they've beaten the Niners twice in a season on 11 occasions (compared to the 3 years for their rival). One thing the Niners have going for them is a very talented front seven on defense. However, they have similar questions as the Seahawks with regard to offensive line and cornerback.

Much like Seattle, the Niners have questions of their own at quarterback. One big one in particular: Why is Handsome Jimmy still on their roster? Is it because of reports of Trey Lance arm fatigue? Is it because the organization feels they're in a Super Bowl window and don't want to risk handing the keys to an unproven quarterback? When the Chiefs were ready to move on from Alex Smith, a trade was in place even before free agency started that offseason. Would Seattle be a possible destination to consider for Jimmy?

Following the predictions for the Niners 2022 season, we take a look at one of the recent quotes by Russell Wilson. Will he be able to flip the switch this year? Especially since it's a switch that should really be on all the time. We get into a random discussion about the SAW score for a Montana bison. Then in Do Better we call out the Montana Department of Transportation as well as Mars, Inc. Better at Life honors go to Jake Plummer and DK Metcalf.

376: Arizona Cardinals - Know Your Rival 2022 Jul 08, 2022

The Arizona Cardinals offseason has been filled with drama. Kyler Murray made it clear that he wants a new contract, starting center Rodney Hudson is threatening retirement, and DeAndre Hopkins was suspended for violating the PED rules. Not to mention that tragedy even struck the organization this past May. All of this endangers a historic pattern that says the Cardinals will finish first in the division this season.

We take a look at the strengths and weaknesses of the Cardinals roster, go through their 2022 schedule and make a prediction for their final record, and look at how much cap space they have to attempt to improve any areas of the roster where they could use help.

Also, we discuss some quarterback news. Baker Mayfield has been traded to the Carolina Panthers ending the speculation that he could supplant Drew Lock or Geno Smith in Seattle. Before that move, Lock was trending on Twitter after a Seahawks fan took on the sport of Tennis. The Seahawks get called out in Do Better along with an article suggesting the redirection of a major U.S. river. Better at life honors go to a Washington Post reporter and to retired baseball player Bobby Bonilla.

375: Drew Lock's chance to be a HOF QB is at four percent Jun 25, 2022

If the Seahawks don't make a move toward another starting quarterback before the start of the season, Drew Lock would be the quarterback who has the greater chance for potential upside. Geno Smith is a fine player, but Lock has the higher ceiling. Just how high is the ceiling though? We talk about one potential Hall of Fame quarterback whose early career compares similarly to Lock. This particular quarterback didn't have a ton of success with his first team, but went on to have an outstanding career.

In Seahawks news, it was apparently Russell Wilson who pushed for Brian Schottenheimer to get fired. Brian Mone signed an extension with the Seahawks and we say goodbye to a Canadian lineman who was an undrafted free agent with the team. The Seattle Seahawks and some of their fans get called out in the Do Better segment. Better at Life honors go to the Cleveland Browns organization for taking the offseason spotlight away from the Seahawks QB situation and to Doug Farrar for making us feel just a little bit better about the Seattle QBs.

374: The Seahawks and the NFL's worst offseason (according to ESPN) Jun 13, 2022

The Seahawks have been holding OTAs and mandatory minicamp over the past couple weeks and one notable player who is absent is wide receiver DK Metcalf. Is the team close to signing the former second round pick to a long-term deal? Would it be better to wait and pay DK to see if he has a subpar season? It may be that there is another good reason for the team to wait on before solidifying the deal (but not for too long).

ESPN's Bill Barnwell recently released his rankings of best to worst teams considering how they've approached the offseason. The Broncos got the top spot by trading for Russell Wilson and that same move landed on the bottom. But when you look at another team Barwell had in the top 5, are the Seahawks really that far off from being in a similar position soon?

In the second half of the show, we talk about a former Seahawks player who is retiring with a record that will stick in the record books. General Manager John Schneider was on a recently released podcast where he discussed a move that he'll never make again. How has that learning experience played out with some of the more recent moves? Finally, Colin Cowherd and a popular television show based in Montana both need to do better. Better at life honors go to a 4-year-old survivalist and a Seahawks equipment manager.

373: Seahawks in a coal mine (indicators for success/failure) May 28, 2022

Organized team activities (OTAs) started for the Seahawks this past week. It's voluntary for the players to attend and participate, but there are some key takeaways that we pulled from the player interviews as well as the first injury announcement of a guy we hope to be a key player in the 2022 season. In the news, the Seahawks waived one rookie quarterback from the roster and there were several reports about the future of the franchise as the team will ultimately be sold "soon."

With changes coming to the defensive side of the ball, Clint Hurtt was on Seattle radio to discuss some of the more notable changes from a strategic standpoint. How concerned are we about the state of the defense going into the season and its ability to impact the team's performance. We also get into the thought behind the various players who would be the "canary in a coal mine" when it comes to indicating the team's ultimate failure or success. We talk about players on each side of the ball that if they have a big season, it could mean good things for the overall success of the team.

In the second half of the show, Baker Mayfield continues to be discussed as a potential option for the Seahawks. But based off an announcement from this past week, there's a new big name being thrown around as an option for Seattle. In a recent interview, Marshawn Lynch disclosed how much Hennessey he went through after Super Bowl 49. Russell Wilson gets called out for an analysis of his past season and people who are Facebook angry at a recent player workout get called out to 'Do Better.' Better at Life honors go to K.J. Wright and to an all-time great Celtics plumber and/or fire fighter.

Advantages and disadvantages in the Seahawks 2022 schedule, and introducing PNW Prop Stars May 23, 2022

As has become an annual tradition, Dave Bloomquist (a.k.a. Hong Kong Hawk) joins the show as a long-time member of the Flock to break down the Seattle Seahawks schedule release. Where do the Seahawks have some advantages within the schedule and where are the disadvantages? Early on, Seattle faces a very heavy road schedule while the second half becomes somewhat more favorable for travel. Plus, a look at the Rams schedule and where they have an overlooked advantage before playing Seahawks.

The second half of the episode is an introduction to a new show coming in the fall with Clinton Bonner and Wilson Conn as they'll be talking some of the betting lines and prop bets surrounding the Seahawks. The experts may say never bet on your team, but maybe there are some cases where fans know their team better than some of the experts.

372: Seattle Seahawks 2022 Draft Recap May 12, 2022

It was an atypical draft year for the Seattle Seahawks in many ways. First, they had a top 10 pick for the first time since 2010. Second, they didn't trade out of their first pick (partly because they didn't need to considering they had back-to-back picks in the second round). Third, they took players that we actually had discussed leading up to the draft in positions relative to where most people considered the players to be available.

Most important to their draft strategy is that they addressed the trenches with their first two picks. By doing so, should that have allowed them the luxury to address other areas with the picks that followed? We discuss running back Ken Walker and some of the reactions from around the league (including Pete Prisco). Russell Wilson even got in on some of the draft night excitement as we play his "call from the Broncos" as he "was selected."

The 2022 NFL schedule releases this week, but the news about one of the Seahawks matchups has already been announced. Seattle will head to Germany to battle Tom Brady and the Bucs in what could be the goat's final NFL season. With the Falcons, Panthers and Steelers all drafting quarterbacks, Baker Mayfield's list of suitors continues to narrow as the Seahawks continue to show no interest. Finally, a story about a broken television and the NFL wanting Seahawks fans to break their televisions lands in the Do Better segment. Better at life honors go out to Montanans and to the best phone call from Seahawks draft weekend.

Did the Seahawks make a mistake by not taking a quarterback in this draft? Were there any other positions they missed out on? Rob closes by offering up a couple of names at QB to look for in next year's draft.

371: Position groups to avoid in Seahawks 2022 Draft, Geno contract drama Apr 21, 2022

Geno Smith has signed a deal to stay with the Seahawks for 2022, but it wasn't without drama this week. Before the signing was announced, Baker Mayfield was interviewed on a podcast and said that he thinks that the Seahawks could be a possible landing spot for him. Does the Geno signing change things? We rank the different factors that Geno, Baker and Drew Lock all bring to the team.

The NFL Draft is less than a week away. Which position group (or groups) do we light up the torches and storm the VMAC if they decide to take a player at that position. To help illustrate why taking the best available quarterback near the top of the first round could be a huge mistake, we look back to the 2011 draft class and three quarterbacks that went in the Top 12.

In the second half of the show, one Do Better goes to a writer covering the Broncos who believes the starting point for a new deal is closer to the deal Derek Carr signed for than the deal that Deshawn Watson signed. Bruce Arians gets called out for comments he made in his press conference where he announced he was stepping down from coaching. Lastly, Better at Life honors go to one of the newest members of the ownership group for Seattle's hockey team.

370: Hawkpocalypse 2.0 and the Let's Ride Curse Apr 11, 2022

Russell Wilson has been traded to the Denver Broncos, Bobby Wagner has signed with the Los Angeles Rams and there are multiple Seahawks players who have gone to the Pro Bowl who seem unlikely to return to the team. The second Hawkpocalypse of the Pete Carroll and John Schneider tenure is upon us.

Both Wilson and Wagner had their introductory press conferences in the past couple weeks, and we check in on each of them to get more information about their departure. We also learn that Russell Wilson's new head coach is a huge Wilson fanboy and based on everything we're hearing, this move could lead to the Broncos and Wilson being cursed by the move. Bobby Wagner says he doesn't have any hate in his heart for the team, but he was bothered by John Schneider's explanation regarding why he didn't hear directly from the team about his impending release.

Are there more big moves on the horizon for the team? DK Metcalf may eat a lot of candy and still have perfect abs, but even that can't make us dislike him enough to try and send him out of town to a team like the New York Jets. We discuss the reasons why differing reports about a possible trade could both be accurate.

Lastly, the Razzies and Adam's latest effort to get in shape land in the 'Do Better' segment. Better at Life honors go to a local mechanic and to the NCAA Basketball Champions.

Seahawks 2022 NFL Draft Targets (w/Rob Staton of Seahawks Draft Blog) Apr 04, 2022

Last time we checked in with Rob Staton of Seahawks Draft Blog, the Seahawks still only had one pick in the top 50. Now they have three and are in need of a quarterback. There also wasn't a lot of positivity around the options at quarterback in the draft. Now that the Seahawks are likely to be drafting competition for Drew Lock, who are some potential options that could fit?

Pete Carroll recently said the Seahawks were "loaded" at center. That could be a tell that the Seahawks are targeting that spot early on in the draft. Regardless if they pick a center early, we discuss a number of player on the offensive and defensive lines that could help upgrade a big area of need for the Seahawks. Rob talks about why Gabe Jackson's time in Seattle could be coming to an end with Damien Lewis possibly moving back to the right guard spot.

Finally, we talk about some quarterback options outside of the draft and which late round picks could be used to acquire Baker Mayfield. The longer he's available, the potential is there for the Browns to pay part of his salary for the upcoming year. But what could that mean for what Seattle may be trying to build and the players who could be available at quarterback in the 2023 draft?

369: Seahawks first post-Russell Wilson press conference draws polarized reactions Mar 26, 2022

Based on some of the clues the Seahawks are giving us, what exactly is the direction for the team in 2022? Ultimately, we'll be able to judge that better once we know who is under center to start the season. Who is the likely favorite and which quarterbacks could be an option for this year? We also discuss some of the latest players to be signed by Seattle.

Following the Russell Wilson trade, head coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider spoke to the Seattle media. Pete talked about his philosophy and the importance of not changing your core beliefs. So how do some of these recent moves align with that context in mind? There was one piece of commentary used to hype Drew Lock, but when it is put in its proper historic context it shows that someone is trying way to hard to hype the new Seahawks QB.

Based on some of the comments from the Seahawks general manager, it seems that he may have a rookie quarterback that he likes. Which QB in this class could fit the best based on some of the tools he has. Based on listener emails and comments, it was clear there were some polarized reactions to what Pete and John had to say. Closing the show, a Denver reporter's issue with Drew Lock's departure and a podcast's commentary around Bobby Wagner deserve to be called out. Better at life honors go out to LEGO and to the football gods for their reaction to the Wilson trade.

368: Post-trade therapy: Reasons why we didn't want to keep Russell Wilson anyway Mar 14, 2022

Seattle Seahawks fans were forced to move on from the best quarterback and the best linebacker in franchise history on the same day. For some fans, losing one hurts more than the other. As we attempt to understand the move, legacy has something to do with it whether it was Russell Wilson talking about his desire to win more Super Bowls or Pete Carroll who we have to expect has similar desires for his legacy. Pete now has an opportunity to do something that hasn't happened in the salary cap era of the NFL.

In the last episode, we talked about some of the qualities we'd prefer not to have in a new quarterback. We have a list of nine reasons, submitted by a long-time listener, as to why we shouldn't be sad about moving on from Russ.

In the second half of the show, we offer our first look at the quarterbacks in this year's draft to explore any potential for a future franchise quarterback. The big headlines from this past week may have taken a target off the back of one NFL player, but he still lands in our Do Better segment. Better at Life honors go out to a Seahawks legend.

367: Russell Wilson traded to Denver, Bobby Wagner released by the Seahawks Mar 09, 2022

Is this the beginning of Hawkpocalypse 2.0? Russell Wilson traded to the Broncos, Bobby Wagner released from the Seahawks. Could there be more trades to come for Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf? Those are questions going through the minds of so many Seahawks fans after the first week of March. Even if it's just Russ and Bobby, it an end of an era in Seattle.

As this era comes to a close, should it be the same regime that rebuilds? Whether or not it should be, it looks as though it must have the stamp of approval from ownership. Drew Lock, though part of the trade package, is not an answer at quarterback. We hear from our resident quarterback whisperer on the one player in the league who he'd throw his hat in with. Also, because this feels like a breakup, what qualities in a quarterback should we avoid when looking for a new leader on offense?

In the second half of the show we have a brief talk about why it's not quite time to memorialize Bobby Wagner's time in Seattle, and why it deserves its own show in the future. Instead, we move on to important topics like the best place to ambush someone, because a place in the pickem league prize draft is on the line. Adam closes the show with a Do Better for the franchise after an emotional day for Seahawks fans.

NFL Combine Preview: Searching for aggressive future Seahawks in the trenches Mar 03, 2022

Rob Staton of Seahawks Draft Blog checks in to talk about a draft strategy for Seattle heading into this year's NFL Combine. Where do they need to improve and what position groups should they target to improve where it could count most in 2022? It turns out that the area where the Seahawks need to improve most (on the offensive and defensive line) are particular strengths for this year's draft class. While there may not be the obvious top talent, there are some significant areas to add depth.

Finding an interior pass rusher could prove difficult where the Seahawks sit in the second round, but there are options on the edge and Rob lists several players to watch over the weekend along with the drills that Pete Carroll and John Schneider have paid attention to historically. If Seattle were to pass on improving either line with their first pick, where are some other areas they could go and see immediate upgrades? Could an early pick supplant a long-time starter for Seattle? One thing is for sure, Pete Carroll and Clint Hurtt have talked about being aggressive and that most likely leads to searching for improvements on defense in the draft.

366: Seahawks shake up defensive coaching staff, NFL QB salary narrative gets destroyed Feb 27, 2022

The Seattle Seahawks are shaking up the coaching staff on the defensive side of the football this offseason. What does it mean for potential changes schematically and what questions still remain? Clint Hurtt provided some thoughts toward issues we all saw this past season, but just how much input did he have in fixing those issues while they were happening this year? It's not just Hurtt who will look to make an impact on this Seahawks defense. Sean Desai and Karl Scott are a couple new faces and their numbers from their previous teams aren't matching up with the hype around them.

On offense, Tim Hasselbeck says Russell Wilson is done in Seattle and will take over in Pittsburgh next season. However, he glosses over a critical part about why the move work for both teams. Former Steelers defensive back Ryan Clark says Russ isn't "great" and shouldn't be in the conversation among the great QBs. Quandre Diggs is going to be a free agent, but he had a response for Clark that has us ready to push a contract in front of him immediately.

In the second half of the show we talk about the recovery process of dealing with some emotional football moments. We also list the Top 5 teams in the pick'em competition for the 2021 season as well as the weekly winners. There are a lot of people who still need to "Do Better" for how the season finished and Shaun White needs to stop making us feel old. Better at life honors go to a team that destroyed an ongoing narrative about quarterback salaries in the NFL and to a site that is correctly covering what will happen in the near future with Russell Wilson.

The Anti-bonus Catfish-ing Super Bowl Reaction Episode Feb 15, 2022

We recorded live after the game and this was the result. For the uncatfished version of the episode, visit our YouTube channel.

365: Sherman says Seahawks fans should lower Super Bowl expectations Feb 05, 2022

While watching Satan's Championship last weekend, we learned some things about ourselves that we're not proud to admit. Regardless, we discuss how we ended up having some disappointment surrounding the outcome with the Los Angeles Rams going to the Super Bowl. Can the Cincinnati Bengals save us from what feels inevitable?

The news about the Seahawks defensive coordinator spot came out after we recorded this week, and we discuss the situation around former Dolphins head coach Brian Flores. While that may not have prevented him from taking a job in Seattle, his lawsuit didn't have any impact on our desire for him to take over coaching the Seahawks defense.

Richard Sherman says that fans ready to move on from Pete Carroll need to be careful about what they wish for. He also seems to have heard from enough Seahawks fans about his departure and speculation about when it's time to move on from a star player that he went on a significant rant on his podcast with Cliff Avril as his guest.

Hopefully next year at this time, we're talking about how silly it was to even be discussing the idea of moving on from Coach Carroll. Russell Wilson seems to have burned to the ground any concerns about whether or not his finger will cause him to have any lingering accuracy issues as he dominated the Pro Bowl skills competition. A worldwide developer and Scott Zolak need to do better this week. Alternatively, an owl and his Montana friend along with Richard Sherman are all better at life.

364: Tom Brady is upstaging Satan's Championship Jan 30, 2022

Seahawks fans got what might be the worst possible outcome for this year's NFC Championship game. While there wasn't a whole lot of love for long-time greats Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers, having one of your rivals guaranteed to make the Super Bowl makes it a tough game to watch. However, Tom Brady is upstaging the entire weekend after a report by ESPN said that he would be retiring this offseason. His TB12 Sports account congratulated Tom and then deleted the tweet when word came out that a decision has not been made. Multiple teammates even came out praising his time in the league. Were they not able to check in with him to know for sure if he's retiring? Why can't Brady just announce his decision and have a press conference when he's ready?

There's a general attitude among some Seahawks fans that the franchise's general manager John Schneider is bad at drafting NFL talent. We go through some of the recent drafts to see if that narrative is correct. What's the best way to determine if Schneider is better than your average GM at picking players?

In the second half of the show, we talk about why overtime rules are so hotly debated and why the current rule is fine as is even though there are some intriguing options being discussed. Closing the show we call out eBay and a writer for suggesting there are reasons to cheer for the Rams. Better at life honors go to the NFL (albeit sarcastically) and to Secret Base for a glorious 15-minute reminder of one of their greatest and most improbable comeback victories.

363: Seahawks make first offseason move, fire Ken Norton Jr. Jan 21, 2022

The Seahawks franchise may not have made the kind of coaching change that some fans were calling for this offseason, but they did make the move that we figured would be the most likely. Defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr. is out after spending 2010-2014 as linebackers coach for the team and as DC since his return in 2018. Seattle will also be looking for a new coach in the secondary and at quarterback coach.

So where do they go next? Do they promote from within? Do they hire a coach who Pete Carroll has history with? Or do they find someone with head coaching experience that can collaborate with Pete Carroll and offer a dynamic we haven't quite seen during his time in Seattle? We discuss why finding a coordinator with head coaching experience is preferred over someone who has never made the jump from coordinator to head coach.

In the second half of the show, we discuss the playoff games that our NFC West rivals took part in and how the divisional round should be the end of their playoff journey. A former Seahawks player gets a strong Do Better, and we question why media members at Dak Prescott's press conference didn't seem to be too concerned with his post-game commentary until the following day. Better at Life honors go out to a long-time listener for finding evidence of the NFL's favoritism in Rams coverage and to the developers at Google for honoring a legend.

362: The final Seahawks game shows exactly where to focus the roster in 2022 Jan 14, 2022

Where was that team all season? The Seahawks showed emotion, they showed an ability to come back despite adversity, and they demonstrated how they can dominate a team on the ground to set things up for deep shots down field. We got a peak at what we thought this offense could be before the season started. We even saw a competent pass rush in the second half versus Arizona. They even did it without some of their top defensive talent.

So what does it mean for the offseason? Who will be coming back in 2022? Who should the Seahawks want to bring back next year? The game against Arizona showed the one area of the team that needs to be at peak performance for the entire year and should be the biggest focus of the offseason (which also should have been the biggest focus of the previous offseason).

With an expectation that Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson will return next season, what is one big change the franchise should make considering their last place finish in the NFC West? Based on history, it's something we should have an answer about toward the middle of next week if there is going to be a change. Plus, we look at some of the key free agents and some ballpark numbers of what we think they'll sign for ahead of (or in) free agency.

In the second half of the show, we discuss the list of teams we'd be interested in seeing making a run at the Super Bowl and the only team in the NFC we can moderately cheer for. What's the worst possible Super Bowl matchup? Finally, our team's terrible schedule luck and a rival stadium need to Do Better. Plus, an author with a unique philosophy and a Seattle Kraken fan are each Better at Life.

361: Russell Wilson is once again fueling offseason speculation Jan 07, 2022

The Seahawks scored more than 50 points in a game for just the fifth time in franchise history. The victory over the Lions gave us a glimpse of what the Seattle offense could look like with an o-line that had the ability to routinely dominate their opponent. But we did see things happen against the Lions that happened all too often during the regular season that remain a cause for concern.

Pete Carroll said he doesn't have to mess with the reports of Russ going anywhere this offseason, because he says he knows what's actually going on and doesn't need to follow the agendas of others. However, is Russell Wilson providing fuel for that speculation through some of his recent commentary?

Seattle now travels down to Arizona for the final game of the regular season and the opportunity to close the season out with a win (something that hasn't happened since the 2013 season). Hopefully Colt McCoy isn't back under center. We're also hoping for a Rams win this weekend? Gross. We touch on the Antonio Brown scene that happened in New York and discuss why Brown is the more sympathetic figure in this scenario.

We close the show with Adam calling out a law that could ban a carbon neutral source of home heat in the winter and a reality star who is giving up her professions rather than scaling back operations to reasonable level. Better at life honors go to the great Betty White for being a friend to us all.

360: There's nothing automatic in football Dec 31, 2021

It's another full team failure to discuss after a loss to the Bears on Sunday. While we continue to see the same issues week-to-week with the team, we wonder who (if anyone) will be held accountable in the offseason. The latest press conference this week with Pete Carroll makes it sound as though he doesn't feel any heat from ownership. Would it even make sense financially to make the move for the team?

The second half collapse by the team, gave us an opportunity to see if Russell Wilson could pull off another fourth quarter comeback. Unfortunately penalties and missed opportunities didn't even allow Seattle to get into a position to score. Can Russell Wilson get out of neutral and back into a winning mindset?

Two of the three division rivals are set up for first round losses in the playoffs, but we should have a chance to take a look at the 49ers rookie quarterback in some high-pressure situations. Is there any team in the NFC that we can stand to root for going into the playoffs? Adam is looking for an app to save his stories that offers "toddler level" understanding and Brandan is looking for more Nick Bellore videos. Better at life honors go out to a football icon.

359: An event the league desperately wanted the Rams to win Dec 24, 2021

The Los Angeles Rams (and the NFL) had a hand in the Seattle Seahawks finishing with their first losing season in Russell Wilson's career. From moving the game back from its originally scheduled time and giving more time for key Rams players to return to the field, the shift was already a clear disadvantage for the Seahawks. But with two key officiating calls, and many other questionable calls and non-calls, this game felt as rigged like no other game since the first Seahawks Super Bowl.

We talk about all of the questionable calls, the decision by the league and the NFLPA to shift the game and the moments where the team could have made plays to avoid yet another loss to the CATFISH-ING Rams. How will the team move forward going into next season? Who do we want to come back? We get the discussion going on what is likely to continue into and through the offseason.

Looking ahead to the Bears, we wonder how much we'll have to hear about the offseason trade rumors surrounding Russell Wilson going to Chicago. Would we take that trade a year later? And based on what we've seen from Seattle so far, can we expect the team to continue to play hard to finish the year?

In the second half of the show, we attempt to get over the frustration from this Tuesday's loss and wonder what would have happened if the outbreak in the Seattle facility had turned out as bad as the Rams after shifting the game. We take our frustration on the league in the Do Better segment for throwing the NFLPA under the bus and for jamming commercials into one of our favorite NFL podcasts. Better at Life honors go to a couple of awesome women in the world.

Seahawks need win vs Rams to remain in playoff hunt Dec 17, 2021

After the Seahawks 33-13 win over the Houston Texans, we're now starting to see the Seahawks show up in the 'in the hunt' section of the playoff picture. But can they stay there especially with a division rival up next on the schedule? Clinton Bonner joins the show with Brandan this week, as Adam is on an extended work trip to recap the biggest plays from the Texans game.

Tyler Lockett's performance this season now puts his name among the top wide receivers in franchise history while Rashaad Penny showed us some reasons to be excited about what he could bring to the team down the stretch this year. Lockett may be out against the game coming up against the Rams, but they rules for players to return could offer hope for Tyler and others to play on Sunday. The biggest question coming into this game is how will (or will) Pete Carroll change things up after it seems the Rams have the Seahawks number.

We discuss what may be the best stat line range for Russell Wilson to seemingly be at his best, and talk about a Rams player who needs to be kept out of the end zone for Seattle to have their best chance to win. Finally, we take a couple listener emails in the latter part of the show, while Brandan talks about some of the experiences down in Houston for this past road game.

358: The Seahawks just won our 2021 'Super Bowl' Dec 10, 2021

In a season where your team is 4-8 after 12 games, and since it's not a place we're used to being at, it feels important to mark the high points of a season. This latest win over the San Francisco 49ers may just have to be that high point we're looking for, because this game had everything. We list of the bingo card full of events that happened from Sunday's game and we probably still missed some key moments.

The Seahawks 30-23 victory really had no reason to be that close considering the number of turnovers and how they turned it over on the goal line multiple times. Fortunately Carlos Dunlap is able to come through as our closer and make some big plays on defense to get the win. Is the more aggressive version of Pete Carroll better for this Seahawks team if it means passing on a late field goal that could have ended the game? We also discuss the season-ending injury to Jamal Adams and the continued recovery of Russell Wilson.

There are two games left on the schedule that the Seahawks absolutely should not and cannot lose. This is one of those weeks as Seattle takes on the Houston Texans, the only team in the NFL mathematically eliminated from playoff contention. If the Texans play anything like they did against their division rivals last week when they faced the Colts, Seattle shouldn't have anything to worry about.

We discuss the playoff outlook for the Seahawks (as bleak as it is), while the 49ers are considered to have a better than 60% chance to get in. We take your emails and discuss some historic moments from the past few years that could have changed the direction of the team. A random Saints fan and Peter Schraeger need to 'Do Better.' We close the show by honoring Joe Buck for his zinger to Peyton Manning and Robert Turbin for his second-half clairvoyance.

357: Seahawks fans now have an idea what it's like being a Niners fan Dec 02, 2021

The Seattle Seahawks continue to lose, but they lost in a way this week that gave us hope in the end that they could pull out the win. Ultimately, there were too many mistakes by the offense, and it was another performance by the defense that allowed their opponent to work their way down the field with relative ease. The 17-15 loss to the Washington Football Team sends the Seahawks to 3-8 and just one loss from a losing season with six games left.

Pete Carroll had some commentary after the game that has Adam thinking that the offense was turned over to Russell Wilson and Shane Waldron. But does Pete have the formula for how to ultimately play winning football with some of the shifts we've seen in the NFL? What about the idea of moving toward starting Geno Smith and what that would mean for Wilson's future?

Next up on the schedule is the San Francisco 49ers and they're coming off wins over the Rams, Jaguars and Vikings. Can they continue their streak with a win in Seattle? Not only have they struggled against the Seahawks, they'll be without Deebo Samuel and Fred Warner.

In the second half of the show we talk about how the playoff picture is shaping up and then work through our "lock" of the week. The NFL Gamepass app and a writer covering the Patriots need to do better, while Better at Life honors go to the features of NFL satellite radio and the players participating in the My Cause My Cleats program.

356: Pete Carroll is a stats nerd Nov 26, 2021

The Seattle Seahawks have now lost to a Colt McCoy quarterbacked team for back-to-back seasons. The latest loss to the Arizona Cardinals was especially frustrating because we saw a Seahawks defense that allowed McCoy to throw to the open guy right in the middle of the field. The issues we're seeing on both offense and defense appear to boil down to one common theme. Pete Carroll is a stats nerd.

Of course we know that it's all about the ball and avoiding turnovers has been important to Pete for winning games, but there is an emphasis on explosive plays that seems to drive both the offense and defense. On defense, it's the focus on avoiding the explosive plays that offers Colt McCoy a 5-yard cushion around the receiver that is right in front of him in the middle of the field. On offense, it's the avoidance of taking those same throws or running plays that set up those easy throws and the defense can sit back in zone and focus on covering the deepest parts of the field.

Now that the Seahawks are 3-7, we talk about what we'd like to see changed in the way they operate for the rest of the season. It can start this week against the Washington Football Team and a quarterback that can make a lot of big throws, but also takes chances. It's also a defense that isn't quite as tough as we saw last season.

In the second half of the show, we look to continue our winning streak to three straight games for our "lock" of the week. 49ers fans are likely going to come crashing back down to earth after their big win over the Jaguars last weekend. We take your emails throughout the show as we discuss the topics that are important to you and explain why an announcer from the last Seahawks game and Pete Carroll need to Do Better. Better at Life honors go to a test mission in space and to our members of the Flock.

355: Shutout extends Seahawks Lambeau curse Nov 19, 2021

The streak of losses continued at Lambeau Field this past Sunday. Russell Wilson returned to the lineup, but was not his usual self. We discuss some of the missed throws, bad decisions, and adjustments the team could make until Russ can return to full health. Although the scoreboard showed a 17-0 loss, the argument is made that the 3-0 score through the first three quarters was more of an indicator of the team's performance.

However, the team is now 3-6 and leaves the team in a difficult position to try and make the playoffs. With the two-loss Arizona Cardinals next up on the schedule, Seattle is now in must-win territory to have any shot at extending their season beyond 17 games. Can Seattle find a way to hold Chandler Jones to fewer than five sacks this week?

In the second half of the show, we discuss our big win with the Panthers dominating the Cardinals last week. We look to build on that with out pick for this next week's "big win." Supermarkets trying to deceive their customers and 49ers stadium security (as well as a Rams fan) need to do better. Better at life honors go to John Boyle for highlighting his favorite member of the Golden Girls and to Russell Wilson for the work he put in to return to the field.

354: No more pin. Time to win. Nov 11, 2021

The Seahawks are coming off their bye week and Russell Wilson isn't the only Seahawks player ready to return. Chris Carson, Dee Eskridge and Nigel Warrior are all back in practice this week, but we'll have to wait and see what their status is on gameday. Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers status is up in the air for Sunday, but it sound fairly confident that he'll be able to recover from testing positive despite the short window of time. If Rodgers can't make it back, the Seahawks may have to take a playbook from the Chiefs defense and put significant pressure on Jordan Love.

Odell Beckham Jr. watch has taken up a portion of the bye week excitement as well. While Seahawks fans were willing to bring in Josh Gordon for another look, we discuss another player comparable to the type of risk that it could bring for the Seahawks or any other team in the league.

In the second half of the show, we talk about how San Francisco 49ers fans are having to come to grips with the fact that their team is bad. However, they've had the Rams number in recent years for some reason. Can they manage a win come Monday night? How about the Arizona Cardinals continuing their five-game slide (since a win over the 49ers doesn't count). NFL refs and the way the NFL backs their refs is deserving of a Do Better, while Bobby Wagner and Russell Wilson's doctor earn the top honors for this week's show.

353: A new phrase for dominating the Jaguars Nov 05, 2021

The Seahawks head into their bye week with a 31-7 performance where they dominate the Jacksonville Jaguars. Dominate is one way to put it. Putting a spanking on them is another. Combine that with an alternative feline name for the Jags and you have the unofficial title for this week's show.

Seattle heads into their bye week at 3-5, which is one game behind where we really wanted to see them following the Russell Wilson injury. But before we get there, we talk about one of the dumber celebration penalties we've seen in the NFL and hear the reaction from Pete Carroll when the official attempted to explain the penalty to the Seahawks coach.

Next week, we'll be back to look ahead to the Packers game and their quarterback situation. Looking at the QB situation in the NFC West, Stafford seems to be in the best shape with Kyler out the next couple weeks and the 49ers with their indecision at who they want to start. A Do Better goes to the person responsible for suboptimal sound quality this week and to Joe Buck for his World Series call. Better at Life honors go to Greg Gumbel's sidekick and to the Seahawks latest Ring of Honor member.

352: The Seahawks season now hinges on the hinges of Wilson's finger Oct 29, 2021

With the latest 13-10 loss to the New Orleans Saints, and a game that was in their grasp to get the win in front of the home crowd, it brings up more questions about this Seattle Seahawks team. When Geno Smith came in after Russ went down in the Rams game, the way he played and the flow of the offense made us all believe there was a plan on how best to use Smith. Has anything changed with the offense to help Geno?

The Seahawks failed in so many areas against the Saints. After the touchdown to DK Metcalf, Seattle had fewer than 50 net yards passing. The defense failed to stop the one guy who they were focused on stopping. Special teams missed two field goals and didn't have any game changing punts and the team had some penalties that hurt them (plus some missed calls and bad calls).

Looking ahead to the Jacksonville Jaguars game, there is no guarantee for a win despite how poorly the Jags defense has played this year. Rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence will likely make one or two plays that will show why he went first overall this season, James Robinson is a talented running back, and they've shown an ability to put points on the board against teams early in games.

In the second half of the show, we talk about the latest injury impacting the Arizona Cardinals, the situations the San Francisco 49ers are currently in, and how the Rams are likely going to be the most consistent team in the NFC West this year. Adam and a former Cougars coach both need to do better, while better at life honors go to a former colony of honey bees and to Matt Hasselbeck for his speech to the 12s at his Ring of Honor induction Monday night.

351: Time for Pete Carroll to take more risks Oct 22, 2021

In the Seahawks first loss with Geno Smith as the starter, Pete Carroll showed us early on in the game against the Steelers that he was not ready to take more risks. But now that the Seahawks are 2-4 on the season, and in desperate need to win back-to-back games heading into the bye week, more risk is necessary to keep the team alive in the playoff hunt. In this week's show we talk about the second-half comeback and the defensive play that allowed Geno one more shot at a win.

Are the Seahawks going to get good Jameis or bad Jameis in this week's game against the Saints? Either way, the focus will be on stopping Alvin Kamara. He was also the guy to stop back in 2019 and still he combined for 150+ rushing and receiving yards and two touchdowns. With injuries to Alex Collins and Chris Carson, they may have to rely on a combination of Rashaad Penny, DeeJay Dallas and Travis Homer.

In the second half of the show we reassess the outlook on the Arizona Cardinals. We also offer yet another reminder of the pick'em league rules as we attempt an iron fist policy on the Seahawks picks. Amazon, a Bengals.com writer, and a "bonus" creates a trio of Do Better this week before we load on on a quintet of Better at Life awardees.

350: Mallet Finger Drama Oct 13, 2021

The Seahawks organization and fans have entered uncharted territory in the Russell Wilson era. For the first time, it appears as though we'll be watching another quarterback start under center since 2012. What does that mean for the team? Drama. It's likely to create a ton of drama unless certain conditions are met over the course of the next few games. We talk about what those conditions are, and why seeing Geno Smith play well over the next few games could have a big impact on the franchise moving forward.

How about Geno though? He comes in and moves the team down the field on a 98-yard touchdown drive. He even had the opportunity late in the game to engineer a game-winning drive. Normally those situations come with a lot of added stress. Did anyone feel stressed in that moment? If not, does that mean the rest of this season could have a very different feeling than previous years?

Looking ahead to the schedule, what are the expectations for this team considering the level of play we've seen from other teams in the conference. We look ahead to the schedule and see what win-loss markers the team will need to hit to make it into the playoffs.

In the second half of the show, we talk about Russell Wilson continued optimism and discuss the other teams in the division. Cole Beasley and at least four teams in the pick'em need to Do Better. Better at life honors go to Lamar Jackson and our Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson.

349: This is why Niners fans HATE Russell Carrington Wilson Oct 06, 2021

Another win against the San Francisco 49ers and another demonstration of why Niners fans hate Russell Wilson. In his 100th regular season win of his career, we got to watch another highlight moment from Russ. Plus it came after the 49ers defense was dominating the Seattle offense through most of the first half. It wasn't a perfect game, but with the vintage Wilson, a big hit from Bellore, and some solid runs from Alex Collins - it gives the Seahawks a nice win heading into another rivalry game against the catfish-ing Rams.

Los Angeles is coming off of a loss to the undefeated Arizona Cardinals (which feels weird to type, but we look ahead to why it's not going to last long). Adam breaks down what the Rams struggled with the most from their matchup with the Cardinals. The Rams also struggle against the Seahawks when Seattle wears their neon green uniforms. Everything could be lining up well for the team to bounce back from the losses to the Titans and Vikings.

In the second half of the show, we take a look around the league at some of the other games from this past week. With the short week, we'll catch up on the Week 4 winners in pick'em next episode. Look for the next tiny piece of Seahawks stuff coming up as well. We close out the show talking about squirrels and greedy moving companies while honoring a Boston reporter and our Seahawks quarterback.

348: It's not your fault . . . it's not your fault (for this Seahawks loss) Oct 01, 2021

Any time there are two losses in a row, it brings out a lot of questions about who is to blame. Especially on our show where we try and look at ourselves first to see what we may be doing wrong in our own lives on gameday. But there is particular area to direct the blame this week. We take a look back at the Vikings game, discuss the signing of Richard Sherman with Tampa and speculate on what might happen if the season continues in this direction.

Fortunately, the 49ers are next up for the Seahawks and they're facing a quarterback they don't have to be as concerned about when it comes to getting beat deep. If the defense changes it's approach from the last two weeks, it could be a good week for getting their mindset straightened out. But Russell Wilson also has a formidable front seven that he's facing this week, so it's not going to be easy.

In the second half of the show, Michael in San Diego comes in with some in depth talk about his 'breakfast' situation the past couple weeks. Fortunately that is something that should be resolved this week. Reporters talking about the Rams and Tom Brady's extremely minor health issue need to do better. Better at life honors go to an NFL kicker and to the Australian birds.

347: The inches the Seahawks needed were everywhere around them Sep 24, 2021

In the movie Any Given Sunday, Al Pacino's character talks to the team about how there are inches everywhere in the game of football. In Sunday's game against the Titans, there were several moments that had they gone an inch in the other direction, it could have made a different in the outcome. But there were also things within their control that players on the team struggled to keep in control and it led to some penalties that also cost the team some of those valuable inches.

In this show, we look at all of the different areas that deserve some blame. Whether it's coaching, how certain players performed in the most critical moments or areas that have gone overlooked relative to other aspects of the game. The Seahawks now go on the road to take on a Vikings team that has played in back-to-back games they should have won. Instead, they come into their first home game of the season winless. Can Russell Wilson continue his winning streak against a former collegiate rival?

In the second half of the show we discuss the performances of the teams in the NFC West this past weekend and which teams impressed or underperformed. We learn why the Acid Queen is no longer going to be attending professional sporting events and we discuss a Seattle-area business that is helping to fight homelessness in the area through a local partnership.

346: Mailbag - How to handle gameday dilemmas Sep 18, 2021

Is it a show worth numbering? Is it a bonus show? Or does it count as a real episode because it contains a key element found now in nearly every show. We continue with some of your emails and commentary from earlier in the week. We discuss the pick'em league winners from this past week and offer needed advice to those of you who may be struggling with how to appropriately manage your Hawkra on Sunday. Adam calls out podcast analysts who believe performances are either great or terrible while Brandan goes after PFT for their treatment of Cowboys legend Leon Lett. Better at Life honors go to an opponent from last week's game and to our quarterback Russell C. Wilson.

345: Holy catfish! This offense is explosive! Sep 16, 2021

In the first game of the regular season, the Seahawks new offensive coordinator Shane Waldron removed any concerns about his ability to call plays and showed that he call plays around the coverages that the team struggled with at the end of last season. One passing play led Steve Raible to call out the title of this week's episode. Though that may have been the area we had the biggest questions, it was the Seahawks defense that may have had a more impressive performance overall. At the very least it surpassed expectations heading into Week 1.

Watching the rival Arizona Cardinals take on the Tennessee Titans in the first game of their season helped to alleviate any fears about the offensive potency of the pairing Julio Jones with A.J. Brown. But this game will likely go differently now that the Titans realize that allowing a team's best pass rusher to regularly go unblocked at the quarterback is a terrible strategy. If the Teennessee offensive line struggled at home, how will they do in front of all the screaming fans at Lumen Field?

We start the second half of the show with a brand new segment looking at the NFC West rivals and the notable performances within the division. Plus, we talk about our rough plans for those of you joining us at the game this Sunday.

344: ESPN simulations and Pete Prisco underestimate the Seahawks heading into Week 1 Sep 09, 2021

The first game of the 2021 NFL season kicks off for the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts. They face off against quarterback Carson Wentz (who the Seahawks have a perfect record against). Since 2014, opponents have a perfect record against the Colts in their Week 1 game. Plus the Seahawks have been nearly perfect when playing in the 10am PT time slot in recent years. Can all those things add up to a win for Seattle?

Of course there are actual matchups to talk about and Jonathan Taylor may be the most challenging one. Poona Ford, Al Woods, Bobby Wagner and Jordyn Brooks are going to need to have a good day and plugging up the defensive interior. Otherwise it will give Wentz plenty of 3rd and short opportunities to convert.

Just how far ahead of the Seahawks are the Colts in Pete Prisco's power rankings? We discuss it in the latest installment of Prisco's World. Later on, in Do Better, we find out where one of the ESPN simulations suggests the Seahawks will finish in terms of their record. Plus, the Missoula breakfast burrito place that is worth the wait (but you may not have to wait). Better at life honors go to a piece of space technology and to the Saints for their strategic work heading into Week 1.

343: The Seahawks cut down to their initial 53-man roster Sep 03, 2021

We are celebrating the official end of the offseason! Next week we'll be previewing the first Seahawks game of the 2021 season when they take on the Colts. However, this week, we are running down the Seahawks roster after Pete Carroll and John Schneider made their cuts down to 53. There were some interesting choices on offense as Seattle kept three quarterbacks, but only decided to hold onto four wide receivers. We also look at the practice squad and that's where so many of the receivers ended up.

On defense, there is a lot of optimism around the defensive line, but the team could still use some veteran help on the interior. The Seahawks recognize that they still need help at cornerback because they continued to add to the group this week after the cuts. Sidney Jones was brought it to compete at corner. Could he end up taking over for Tre Flowers who earned his starting spot to kick off the season?

In the second half of the show, we talk about the 49ers quarterback situation and contrast it with what's going on in New England. We also follow up on a conversation from the previous show and learn from a listener how Abe Lincoln used to like to pick fights. If you're outside the Seattle area and struggle to find ways to watch the games, several listeners chime in with their different strategies for watching the Seahawks. Do better call outs go to Adam's neighbor for rejecting his fantasy football advice and to Scott Zolak for wanting Cam Newton to essentially get off his lawn. Better at life honors go to the suckers who bought Adam's old vehicle and to Blitz for helping to raise money for shoes for kids.

342: Seattle Seahawks 2021 Season Expectations Aug 28, 2021

Through the first two games of the 2021 preseason, the Seattle Seahawks haven't done much to impress fans. They've lost in back to back games and most recently a 30-3 loss to the Denver Broncos. As we fight through the sleepless nights telling ourselves that preseason doesn't matter with the reminder that we haven't seen starters playing, what are some of the things we've learned from these first two games? Does it give us any clue to how the season might play out?

In our annual season expectations show, we take what we've learned through the first two games and flash back to the end of last season to lay out what we think should become of our 2021 Seahawks. We go through all of the biggest question marks regarding this year's team and point out the reasons for optimism at other areas. Can Russell Wilson bounce back from maybe the worst span of games during the second half of last season? And Pete Carroll revealed something about Shane Waldron this last week that offers the offense a different dynamic than it has had compared to any of the previous coordinators.

In the second half of the show we talk about how the 49ers appear to be leaning away from Trey Lance starting to kick off the season. The Rams have traded multiple picks for a player who has seen about as much success on the field as Rashaad Penny. Do better call outs go to a Bay Area newspaper for correlating two very unrelated health issues and to a local middle school for being a bit too wordy. Better at life nods go some of the most special members of the Seahawks organization both past and present.

341: Jamal Adams signs 4-year extension, 'Know' the Cardinals Aug 19, 2021

After trading two first round picks for Jamal Adams last year, the Seahawks have now signed the star safety to a record-setting contract that is set to keep him with the team through 2025. Seattle also frees up nearly $5 million in cap space by making the deal and hopefully it offers them flexibility to pay a couple other veteran players who would like to stay with the team beyond this season. We talk about how news from earlier in the week was an indication that both sides were ready to close the deal.

Seahawks backup players saw their first preseason action in Las Vegas on Saturday. Geno Smith took a monster hit which means we could see more of Alex McGough coming up against the Broncos. We talk about some of the challenges the team had against the Raiders and discuss whether the new preseason format will change how the Seahawks get their starting players prepared for the regular season. Finally, before the break, we talk a bit more about the overrated Arizona Cardinals to close out the Know Your Rival series.

PFF recently ranked the NFL's top defensive lines and the Seahawks were nearly at the very bottom. Is there an argument to be made about the accuracy of the assessment? We talk politics in the 'Do Better' segment regarding a constituent who has a problem with his state's governor. We also take issue with a podcast advertiser who says we don't have 'actual sponsors.' Plus, a Better at Life nod for the person who helped seal the deal between Jamal Adams and the Seahawks.

340: San Francisco 49ers - Know Your Rival 2021 Aug 05, 2021

Recapping the first week of training camp is simple. Several players look like they're in the best shape of their career, other players are hyped to high levels of expectations, and some players want better contracts. Jamal Adams is one of those players who wants a deal before the season. We talk about why we think the middle of the month is the right time to see a deal get done, and why Duane Brown should also get an extension if he's truly looking for one and not just resting.

The Know Your Rival series continues with the San Francisco 49ers and a discussion around how hyped fans are that Trey Lance hit one really good throw in training camp. But this isn't a team that's built to attack by air, it's a team that should feature a strong run game. The defensive line is one of the best in the division, but what about the back seven outside of Fred Warner? There's also the question of just how much the loss of their former defensive coordinator will have on the team.

In the second half of the show we talk about the average beer consumption by fan base and the famous Sean/Shawn's that we missed from the previous show. We discuss planned changes for this year's pick'em league as well as a really cool signed helmet that will go to the person with the best picks.

The 2021 football season is upon us as training camp starts this week. Will Jamal Adams sign a new deal? Reports are that it's going to happen, but at the same time neither side is close. If the Aaron Rodgers situation has taught us anything, it's that a new contract is likely right around the corner. It wasn't a good couple weeks for former Seahawks as Richard Sherman was recently arrested. We discuss the details of the incident. Mychal Kendricks is going to jail for one day for his involvement in insider trading. That was a case surrounding him in Seattle and it's finally been resolved.

The Los Angeles Rams made a big move this offseason in trading Jared Goff for Matt Stafford. We discuss how the new Rams quarterback landed on a list Football Outsiders recently released and it's not one any franchise wants to be a part of. So did the Rams level up in the way that Michael Brockers thinks they did? The defense is likely to level down considering the loss of Brockers, John Johnson and former defensive coordinator Brandon Staley. Head coach Sean McVay has been busy podcasting this offseason and it has provided us with additional reasons to fuel your sports hate for the Rams this year.

A big announcement in the second half of the show as we hit a big milestone and we still have tickets available if anyone wants to join us at the Seahawks home opener against the Titans. After our list of overrated teams last week, we revisit some of the selections as we welcome some new members to the Flock.

338: The most overrated NFL teams going into 2021 Jul 06, 2021

Following the NFL Draft this year, the Seahawks were considered big winners by picking up some of the top-ranked undrafted free agents. One of those UDFAs, Tamorrion Terry, was indicted on felony murder chargers this week for a shooting back in 2018. Seattle was quick to cut him and it happened to be hours before Josh Gordon announced he was applying for reinstatement. Maybe the most important news is that the Seahawks are finally going to have the opportunity to wear throwback uniforms. Now we just have to wait for the official announcement.

Which teams are the most overrated going into the 2021 NFL season? The settled definition of overrated is that you are better off lighting $100 on fire rather than placing a bet for that team to win the Super Bowl. Getting input from the Flock, the Rams, Cowboys, Bucs, 49ers, Cardinals, Browns and Titans were among those teams mentioned most offense. Do the Kansas City Chiefs deserve to be included in this pack considering the changes they've gone through this offseason?

We discuss the latest charges Frank Clark is facing from a recent incident that involves some questionable decision-making. The winner of June's Tiny Piece of Seahawks Stuff is announced.

337: The reality of the Seahawks offseason reality is the real reality Jun 19, 2021

Russell Wilson and Pete Carroll both had some newsworthy quotes coming out of the week of minicamp, but it was a quote from Tyler Lockett that should have Seahawks fans excited around the potential of the new offense in 2021. Lockett spoke directly to issues the team had throughout the final weeks of last season and the importance of addressing those issues this year. Russell Wilson also talked about the new offense, but the majority of questions for him surrounded the offseason drama. At least he had the opportunity to give us the "real reality" of how he saw things.

Jamal Adams is due for a new contract and was excused from minicamp. Does Jamal deserve to be paid as the highest safety or at a contract similar to some of the best outside linebackers? Duane Brown has also expressed the desire for a new contract and we discuss why that could be really good news for Wilson and the Seahawks. One player not looking for a new contract is punter Michael Dickson who is locked up for the next five years with the team and his now paid among the top punters in the NFL.

In the second half of the show we talk about the Seahawks defense and which issues are critical to the team's success beyond this year. Russ mentioned how odd it was to see Carlos Dunlap wearing number 8. Does it create a similar clash that has been an issue in the past with wide receivers who pick numbers in the teens? Generation Z and media outlets who use the phrase "is getting criticism on Twitter" need to Do Better. Better at Life honors go to a member of the media who called out bad questions at press conferences and to Ryan Fitzpatrick for the way he showed up to his first day of work.

336: Seahawks now a 'favorite' to trade for Julio Jones Jun 03, 2021

Last week the word on the street was the Atlanta Falcons wanted a first round pick to trade future Hall of Fame wide receiver Julio Jones. Now, after an appearance on Undisputed, it seems much more likely that a trade will happen. We take a listen to the phone call that definitely wasn't an impromptu tv moment and talk about the Seahawks as an odds on favorite to trade for Jones. Considering what Julio said during the call, Seattle does make some sense in terms of his landing spot.

While Julio would offer the potential to impact the offense, there is a bigger area of need and a player who may be available to fill that need. Ahkello Witherspoon is a name of a player currently on the team who could fill a critical need, but does his latest press conference inspire confidence that he could be that guy? If you look at the latest NFL.com starting roster projection for Seattle, Witherspoon seems to be a favorite to be a starter. But will it last?

In the second half of the show we discuss Russell Wilson's support for Naomi Osaka skipping out on a post match press conference. Maybe Osaka should take a page from the playbook of a former Seahawks player or maybe we could just be okay with allowing athletes to decide if they want to speak to the media or not after an event. Closing the show we talk about a 'conspiracy theory' involving Tim Tebow as well as a spooky event involving one of Adam's neighbors. Better at life honors go to Seahawks reporter Michael-Shaun Dugar for his nomination for a prominent award in sports media and to a nuc of bees that has a new home.

335: Metcalf ran, Carroll chewed, and the 2021 schedule was released May 25, 2021

Earlier this month, DK Metcalf showed up on the track to attempt to qualify for the Olympics. It may not have gone as he hoped, but we take a look at the event as well as Pete Carroll's reaction to it during his latest appearance on the Rich Eisen show. Coach Carroll said there are bigger things to come for DK beyond the football field, but didn't give any further details. Pete did offer some thoughts on the Russell Wilson offseason situation and what to expect (kind of) from their new offense with Shane Waldron as the coordinator. Most importantly, we got key details on Pete's gum chewing gameday regimen.

Dave Bloomquist, a.k.a. Hong Kong Hawk, joins the show to break down the schedule as he does every year. In terms of rest days for opponents, the middle stretch of the season could be the most difficult. But it's offset with seemingly weaker opponents and a bye week before one of the toughest games on the schedule. Plus, the Rams may have received the tougher draw in terms of schedule this year despite their second place finish.

The Seahawks held rookie minicamp and we offer our quick takeaways to what we heard about the draft picks and undrafted rookie free agents. Julio Jones is on the trade block and there's a veteran right tackle who has a possible link to Seattle. Pete Prisco also offered up his draft grade for Seattle, so we have to take a trip to Prisco's World to check in on that.

Do better call outs go to Adam's new satellite radio for their two weeks of recommendations and Brandan has an ultimatum for Nesquik after their new ad campaign is a terrible look for DK Metcalf. Better at life honors go to a fashion fascist and to a Cardinals beat writer.

334: Reflecting on the 2021 Seahawks draft process, 49ers selection of Trey Lance May 19, 2021

Rob Staton of Seahawks Draft Blog returns to the show to take a look back on the Seahawks draft process as well as their selections. Each of the picks addressed team needs we focused on heading into the draft, but what does it say about their process overall? Rob talks about a recent interview that he did that revealed to him why the Seahawks preferred a wide receiver over getting one of the top centers on the board. We discuss a couple undrafted players who were expected to be taken in the draft and their likelihood of making the 53-man roster for the upcoming season. Closing the show, Rob has some strong opinions on the 49ers selection of Trey Lance and their decision to give up multiple future first-round picks for the opportunity.

333: Seattle Seahawks 2021 Draft Recap May 05, 2021

John Schneider and Pete Carroll went into this year's 2021 NFL Draft with only three draft picks after using their other picks to acquire known talent. Jamal Adams and Carlos Dunlap were acquired in 2020 and are both under contract to remain with the team through 2021. Gabe Jackson was picked up in a trade this offseason with the Las Vegas Raiders to add to the offensive line after the departure of Mike Iupati. However, the Seahawks have never picked fewer than five players in a draft in the entire history of the franchise. But the Seahawks GM only made two trades on draft day and still finished with only three picks.

First off the board for Seattle was WR D'Wayne Eskridge of Western Michigan. The guys talk about the thought process that may have gone into taking a skill player here rather than improving the offensive line, particularly with some of the top centers still on the board. Outside cornerback depth was a concern coming into this last week, and it's well known the type of corner Seattle likes to draft, so why did the Seahawks take Oklahoma cornerback Tre Brown? Pete Carroll may be adapting to what we're seeing in the NFC West and in the NFL. In the sixth round, the Seahawks traded up for offensive tackle Stone Forsythe. Despite some of his perceived weaknesses, taking him that late in the draft was a "no-brainer," but it also highlighted an area where Seattle tended not to budge on what they looked for in the past. Plus, we look at some of the top undrafted free agents.

In the second half of the show, we talk about the 49ers selection of Tre Lance with the third overall pick and the decision to trade two future first round picks to make that deal (when maybe they didn't need to). Aaron Rodgers managed to steal the spotlight ahead of the first round, which was almost certainly 100% intentional after what the Packers did to him last year. Do Better call outs go anyone who dragged Russ into the new Rodgers story and to our buddy Gerrad. DK Metcalf gets Better at Life honors along with Dan Hanzus of Around the NFL.

332: Seattle Seahawks 2021 Draft Preview (Part 2) Apr 27, 2021

Back with part two of our discussion as Rob Staton of Seahawks Draft Blog previews some of the defensive players who could be on Seattle's radar. This show kicks off with a look at what might be the team's biggest need overall. If the Seahawks can add a cornerback who matches the caliber or improves upon Shaquill Griffin's rookie season, that would help fans feel a lot better about the defense going into 2021.

If John Schneider and Pete Carroll break form and address cornerback in the second round, something they've never done, then Rob likes Benjamin St-Juste of Minnesota. He also likes Ambry Thomas out of Michigan. Ifeatu Melifonwu, however, is someone who has been routinely projected to Seattle, but the disappointment of his brother's career has rubbed off negatively when it comes to the Syracuse prospect.

Considering that there are always special teams needs to fill, safety and linebacker are two areas that shouldn't be completely overlooked. Defensive tackle may not be a need for Seattle with the Al Woods signing, but if teams are overlooking Texas A&M DT Bobby Brown then Rob would be happy to see him land with the Seahawks. We also discuss how defensive end shouldn't be overlooked. Sure they have depth, but if they have someone who can make an impact, they should take a chance even with a limited number of picks.

331: Seattle Seahawks 2021 Draft Preview (Part 1) Apr 20, 2021

We're closing in on the 2021 NFL Draft, coming up April 29th, and barring any major moves between now and then the Seahawks won't be making their first draft pick until the 30th. Joining the show this week to preview where the Seahawks could go on offense in the draft is Rob Staton of Seahawks Draft Blog.

The episode kicks off with a look back at how the Seahawks ended up with only three picks ahead of the draft and the circumstances surrounding the decision to make a big trade for Jamal Adams ahead of the season. That was a move that they wanted to help make an immediate impact on defense, but what is the most immediate need now on offense? Rob makes the case for why the biggest need may not be a player who starts on offense in 2021, but considering the depth at tackle it may be the best time to address a replacement for Brandon Shell for Duane Brown next season.

There's two areas of the draft that don’t provide much strength and that is at running back and tight end. However, we take a look at some of the players who fit in terms of Seahawks measurements, because they'll be guys who are likely on the team's radar. Closing out the show, we look at a relatively deep receiver class. The problem is there isn't a player who Rob thinks is a clear and obvious fit for what they've liked historically. Maybe Shane Waldron will have some thoughts on a guy he feels could be unlocked in the offense he's bringing to the team this year.

330: Brandon Marshall says the Russell Wilson saga is over! Apr 09, 2021

It only took about 10 weeks for the discussion about the Seahawks potentially moving on from Russell Wilson to go full circle. It started with Brandon Marshall in late January saying that Wilson was "beyond frustrated" with Pete Carroll. This week he has reported that the relationship between the two have never been better! Marshall said it came down to a meeting between the two that turned everything around.

Tyler Lockett is set to be with the Seahawks for a lot time, signing a 4-year contract extension through 2025. If he plays out his contract in Seattle, which is another team-friendly deal, we talk about where he'll end up on the list of all-time wide receivers in franchise history. On the defensive side of the ball, Quinton Dunbar won't be returning, but that leaves the door open for a former Seahawks cornerback to make a triumphant return.

We take a look around the NFC West in the second half of the show as Adam is not buying the hype surrounding Mac Jones going to the 49ers with the third overall pick. The flock comes in with some optimism surrounding the NFL draft despite the Seahawks having only three picks and some reasoning behind the four teams that were listed as possible trade destinations for Wilson. A former landlord and Michael Strahan both earn Do Better callouts this week and Better at Life honors go to the makers of the latest off-road vehicle and to the Seahawks salary cap wizards.

329: The offseason plan for the Seahawks is coming into focus Mar 29, 2021

After two weeks of free agency, the plan for the Seahawks offseason is becoming clear. The large contract they traded for on the offensive line by acquiring Gabe Jackson is essentially swapped out with the departure of Jarran Reed and his contract on the defensive line. The return of Carlos Dunlap may be the most important move and the reduction in his salary allows for the addition of defensive end Kerry Hyder and the return of Al Woods to the interior. It's also appears they are sacrificing their full participation in the draft and instead trading for proven veteran talent.

The San Francisco 49ers made a huge move this past week by trading two future first round picks to move up to the third pick overall. We get into the history of NFL trades into the top three picks to show there is risk involved. However, for a team that has seen success with an average quarterback, the potential reward is easily worth the risk in their case. We discuss the move in context with the other NFC West teams who have been working to upgrade their rosters this offseason.

The fact that the 49ers are giving up the 12th overall pick and two more first round picks just to move up nine spots in the draft demonstrates how ridiculous the Chicago Bears reported trade package for Russell Wilson was. But it hasn't stopped people like former general manager Mike Tannenbaum from suggesting that the Seahawks could still move on from Wilson for (once again) Sam Darnold.

In the second half of the show, one of our members of the Flock is considering adjusting his relationship status if it can somehow help the Seahawks get back to championship form. Adam goes after the owners for nearing completion for their push to a 17-game schedule and Brandan goes after Mike Florio for his rooting interest surrounding the Seahawks quarterback. Better at Life honors go to a new season and to the Miami Dolphins for giving Adam the perfect football gift.

328: The Seahawks go from not doing much in three days to doing something in free agency Mar 18, 2021

It's once again that time of year where we hope that the Seahawks will go after some big name targets and free agency and come away somewhat disappointed. Coming into Wednesday, Seattle had signed another cornerback castoff from the San Francisco 49ers and signed Poona Ford to stay in Seattle for two more years. Neither the offensive line and defensive line were addressed. Not until the second half of the recording of this latest show.

After talking about missed opportunities in free agency, we look back on some of the worst takes regarding the drama surrounding Russell Wilson. We have multiple theories to choose from on why Russ was not named in the letter to season ticket holders and Adam likely nails the easiest explanation. We also diagnose how Sam Darnold entered the quarterback conversation this past week after Pete Carroll's quotes from December were used to support two different trade proposals.

In the second half of the show, we get news that the Seahawks have acquired an offensive lineman from the Las Vegas Raiders. He wasn't the one discussed in the first half, but we take a look at some of the highlights of the move and talk about what it could mean for Damien Lewis. The Seahawks are also signing a veteran tight end, but it highlights a key area the Seahawks aren't taking advantage of when it comes to contracts to try and squeeze multiple moves into this offseason.

Mike Silver lands in the Do Better segment for what was probably the worst take about the Russell Wilson situation, and Adam takes issue with characterizing Deshaun Watson's issues with the Houston franchise as anything remotely similar to Russ in Seattle. Better at life honors go to the 1984 Seahawks defense for some overdue recognition and to the "Acid Queen" as Adam rebounds from last week's call out to do better.

327: Does Pete Carroll have a messaging problem? Mar 08, 2021

This week show begins with a two-minute rundown of all the biggest stories that Adam has taken note of from the past week. Notably, Justin Britt signing with the Texans. Then we get into the clip behind one of the biggest stories of the week that was reported incorrectly . . . that the Seahawks are "shopping" Russell Wilson. When, after clarification, they were actually returning phone calls.

Dan Patrick, the host behind the interview that kicked off the offseason of drama, joined 950 KJR in Seattle and had a couple of statements that offer a national perspective of the situation with the Seahawks. If people in the national sports media have the idea that Pete Carroll isn't "all in" on Russell Wilson, then maybe the Seahawks coach has a problem when it comes to public messaging about his quarterback.

In news that came after recording the show, Carlos Dunlap was released by the Seahawks on Monday, but our discussion about relating his contract to J.J. Watt may actually provide some context to his departure. If Dunlap wasn't willing to restructure to a deal similar to Watt, Seattle may see that as the ceiling for the market for finding a free agents at that spot or if Dunlap were to return after testing the market.

In the second half of the episode, we respond to some comments from the Flock that came in regarding the current situation in Seattle. As people organize into Team Russ vs Team Pete, is it time to give up on the idea of being Team Work This Catfish Out and team up? Find out why Britni is no longer allowed near acid and why Michael Pittman may not catch many passes from Carson Wentz this year. We close out the show with some advice from OJ Simpson and award Better at Life honors to Aaron Levine for his recent coverage of Russell Wilson.

326: The Russell Wilson offseason drama is not going away Feb 26, 2021

It's a single-topic show for this episode of the podcast. Because, on Thursday morning, Michael-Shawn Dugar released an article on The Athletic that detailed the timeline from this year and some of the details from previous years that provide additional context to some of Russell Wilson's recent comments. The point of the article is that, from Wilson's perspective, it's more than just getting offensive linemen - it's about winning a certain way. We hit on some of the main points from the story and, while it still seems incredibly unlikely a trade would happen, the more important thing is that Pete Carroll and Russ have to communicate more clearly with each other, rather than doing it through the media.

325: Nick Wright spawns 'masterpiece' trade to send the Seahawks to the NFC West cellar Feb 23, 2021

As it turns out there's a bit more discussion we can have on Russell Wilson without it being a repeat of last week. We talk about the Josina Anderson tweet updating us all that Russell Wilson isn't getting traded and agree with Joe Fann's assessment that what it really means is that all is perfect in Seattle. Russell Wilson hit 3 on the scale of unhappy offseason Russ last year when he said he wanted stars, and this year he's turned it up to 4. Still a long way to go before we're in Deshaun Watson territory.

Nick Wright of FS1 came up with the "perfect fake trade" that would send Seattle to the bottom of the NFC West and cost Pete Carroll and John Schneider their jobs. Seahawks fans aren't going to be happy with Nick Bosa on their team with Watson leading the 49ers to division titles. At least Mike Florio came up with some trade ideas that at least get Seattle a pick of the top two quarterbacks from the 2021 draft. If management were to accept either of those, they'd have to be certain we'd be watching Seattle compete for a title in the next three years.

Free agency is around the corner, and Zach Ertz's name is coming up in possible trade talks. Carlos Dunlap is on the mind of some Seahawks fans to make cap space, but some are willing to suggest that money could be better used to bring another Bengals player to Seattle to be the third option at wide receiver.

We announce the top 10 teams from the pick'em league this year. If you participated and want to be in the running for the 2020 James Harrison Award, you can go to http://tinypiecesofseahawksstuff.com and comment with your team name or comment in the post from the Ring of Honor group on Facebook.

Our thoughts go out to those in Texas who are recovering following the massive power outages in Texas. Adam's passion about his problems with the power grid electrify a segment of 'Do Better' and Brandan goes after the NCAA. Better at life honors go to NASA and a plea for them to create an amazing fund raising idea, as well as the current and former Seahawks who are helping feed families in Texas who were impacted by the recent disaster.

324: Russell Wilson is focused on the right priority (and is not getting traded) Feb 11, 2021

Wasting no time with offseason drama from the Seahawks this offseason, news came out on the day of the Super Bowl that teams were making calls to Seattle about their interest in Russell Wilson. Though the news expressly came along with the disclaimer that the Seahawks, of course, weren't interested. Yet, by Wednesday, there were sports betting sites laying odds as to which team Wilson would be going to next.

So where did this come from? We pull the quotes from former Seahawks receiver Brandon Marshall and Russell Wilson's quotes from the Dan Patrick Show that seemed to generate most of this discussion. Interestingly enough, nowhere in those discussions were any kind of hints that Wilson is demanding to be traded or suggesting that he's unhappy with the team. Instead, he's clearly focused on what Seattle needs to do this offseason to improve - acquiring talent to put together an offensive line that can protect their star quarterback.

Considering what we all witnessed in Super Bowl 55, that should be the goal for every team in the NFL. Because we saw the league MVP from 2018 and the league MVP from 2020 both struggle against the Tampa Bay Bucs defensive front. Russell Wilson is focused on the right priority and the Seahawks front office should have that same focus as well!

We also discuss the Matt Stafford trade to the Los Angeles Rams and what it means for the division. Adam brings a historical perspective at quality quarterbacks who have made mid- or late-career moves. Plus, we take another shot at nicknaming the new offensive coordinator and the results from an in-depth data analysis on some important career tendencies.

We're running a promotion for those who want to help the show and get a little something extra. Those who sign up for annual support at getintheflock.com can get stickers at $1 per month annually. A podcast patch at $3 per month annually and a pair of logo stainless steel pint glass for anyone above $5 who moves to an annual subscription. Plus, we're not running the "uncatfished" version of the show in the Patreon feed for those who have been asking for that.

Do better call outs this week go to Adam's truck for continuing to find ways to uniquely break down, and how people need to learn how to ask Kam Chancellor the correct questions when they see him in person. Better at life honors go to the NFL's Man of the Year and to the crew at the Around the NFL podcast for blowing off Super Bowl coverage to honor one of their former co-hosts.

323: New slogan for Seahawks new OC - Hammer the Poona Jan 29, 2021

The Seattle Seahawks have announced their new offensive coordinator and Shane Waldron will come up from Los Angeles to join the Seattle Seahawks. The worst part about this move is that it forces us to say some things that sound like there are some positive components of the Rams offense. But the best part about is may be that it may signal a compliment to Russell Wilson's game that could help the team improve. However, it does come with some risk.

Ahead of this episode, we reached out to our members of the Flock and the Ring of Honor group of Facebook to get some questions from the group on the things that you want to talk about. Before we get there, we talk a bit about the NFC Championship game and the call by the refs and the fourth down decision and how those moments impacted the game.

In our mailbag segment, we talk about the Seahawks free agents the team could be most likely to keep some players we'd be okay with moving on from, and where the cap money should be focused on in the offseason when it comes to free agency. With NFC West rivals looking to upgrade at quarterback, we talk about the worst possible outcome in the division this offseason. Plus, we rank some of the sexiest deep balls of Russell Wilson's career. One email even inspires our new slogan we'd like to see pitched to the Seahawks new offensive coordinator.

In our Do Better segment, Falcons new head coach Arthur Smith is recognized for dropping the most cliches ever in an introductory "hype" video. Aaron Rodgers gets called out for passing on accountability following the game against Tampa Bay. Better at life honor go to Marshawn Lynch and to the Lions new head coach who, by the most recent press conference, appears to be the anti-Arthur Smith.

322: Schotty out as OC, Pete Carroll closes out the 2020 season Jan 20, 2021

As the 2020 season closes out for the Seahawks, we recap the news from this past week. The biggest news is that the Seahawks are moving on from Brian Schottenheimer as the team's offensive coordinator. John Schneider apparently isn't going to the Detroit Lions after all. Instead, he signs with the Seahawks through 2027. However, Seattle did lose one name from their front office to the Carolina Panthers.

Were there any clues from Pete Carroll's press conference to close out the season that suggests that Schottenheimer was on the way out? There were certainly clues about the direction the Seahawks coach wants to head in. As much as there are concerns about it shifting too heavily toward the run, Pete was very clear about it not being a monumental shift. He wants to run teams out of playing two-deep safeties, he wants to improve on third down conversions, and he wants to continue to be explosive in the passing game.

Russell Wilson also gave his final press conference while vacationing from Mexico. It was a different tone from the Seahawks quarterback than we've heard in previous seasons, and he wanted to make sure we all know how critical it is that he's a part of the process with hiring the new offensive coordinator and being "on the same page." But who should the new offensive coordinator be? We work through all the names that have been projected and ultimately settle on one name we haven't heard many Seahawks fans talking about.

Adam has some thoughts on Seahawks players who were talking about how difficult one particular aspect of the season was to overcome. Brandan goes after Texans fans for coming up with a terrible idea for a cause they chose to march about near the stadium in Houston. Better at life honors go to a man for peacefully residing in an airport for months and to a couple of teams for making the choice to hire defensive coordinators for their head coaching vacancies.

321: CATFISH the Rams! Jan 12, 2021

Was this week's loss to the Rams in the playoffs the most disappointing and frustrating performance of the Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson era, or was it the most predictable? Either way it was the first home loss in the playoffs since the 2004 playoffs, which coincidentally was also against the Rams franchise. Russell Wilson, with two healthy thumbs, was outplayed by a quarterback who looked like he could feel his heartbeat in his throwing thumb. Pete Carroll passed over opportunities to go for it on fourth down early in the game, but then when his hand was forced the offense narrowly missed a delay of game only to get a false start.

Penalties cost the Seahawks the game, turnovers cost the team the game, and Wilson unable to respond from questions about his play from the previous eight weeks cost the Seahawks the game. Despite the Rams defense playing extremely well, we discuss a variety of ways the offense could have attacked their rival and either stayed true to the slogan or by making other adjustments.

We'll look at Pete Carroll's post-game comments in the next episode, but this week we discuss how Carroll's philosophy may be worth questioning after multiple seasons of early playoff exits. Could the offensive coordinator be on the hot seat? We talk about possible coaching moves as well as how we'll likely see more questions this offseason surrounding Wilson than any other season.

Those questions are already beginning to be thrown out there on Twitter as highlighted in Do Better and there are deeper questions about whether humans are alone in the universe that we may hear more about this summer. Better at Life honors go to Tony Romo for offering some comedic relief following the Seahawks playoff game and to the Seahawks Swab Team getting recognition for their efforts this season.

320: Seahawks passing defense goes from historic worst to 31st Jan 06, 2021

The regular season has come to a close for the Seahawks following a 26-23 win over the San Francisco 49ers down in Glendale, Arizona. At the midpoint of the season, we were extremely concerned about a Seattle defense that was giving up passing yards at an historic rate. Not only were they worst in the NFL in 2020, they were on pace to be the worst in NFL history. If not for the 3-yard touchdown pass by the 49ers in garbage time, the Seahawks would have finished ahead of the Detroit Lions for the 30th spot.

However, there has also been another turnaround. The offense went from scoring 30+ points a game through the first eight games to only having one game above 30 in the second half. But improving the defense through the acquisition of Carlos Dunlap and the 2nd play of Jamal Adams and D.J. Reed offering a big improvement over the first half of the season. It's possible to play both good defense and score 30 points or more. So what's going on? We discuss what changed from the first half to the second half and talk about which quarterback we'll see the Rams play on Saturday.

In the second half of the show, we talk about the preferred route through the playoffs. We discuss the news of John Schneider getting interest from the Detroit Lions to become their general manager. Our 'Do Better' segment features talk around the Philadelphia Eagles and the reaction to their performance in the final game of the NFL season. Better at life honors go to a legend of sports radio and to a New York Giants draft pick that had been holding onto an old tweet from Skip Bayless.

319: The Seattle Seahawks are NFC West Champions again Dec 31, 2020

The Seattle Seahawks finally had a convincing victory over a Sean McVay coached Los Angeles Rams team. Not only that, but they did it on the back of a defensive unit that had questions surrounding it early this season. Is it time to give Ken Norton some credit for the turnaround? The 20-9 win over the Rams earned Seattle their first NFC West title since 2016, but was it done in a way to improve Adam's mood from the previous week? After all, the structure of the game wasn't much different. We look at some of the third downs throughout the game and it was one area where Russell Wilson struggled early on in the game.

Next up is a San Francisco 49ers franchise that Seattle has dominated throughout the Russell Wilson era. Kyle Shannahan has managed two wins against this Seahawks team (the same number that Jim Harbaugh had). Injuries continue to plague the 49ers, but George Kittle will be in the game and C.J. Beathard has done well to avoid throwing any interceptions. But Kittle will be his only big name target with both Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk out for this Sunday's game. Even with injuries, Seattle should expect a physical game, particularly from the 49ers defense.

In the second half of the show, we talk about the departure of Damon 'Snacks' Harrison and the return of Luke Willson. We also discuss a number of playoff scenarios for Seattle and why there is the potential for a big difference between having the 2nd and 3rd seed in the playoffs. D.K.O. earned the top spot in the pick'em league this week, and Jeremy comes in with the answer regarding career rushing leaders for the Seahawks.

Adam calls out an anonymous Fansided article for daring to consider life for the Seahawks without Russell Wilson as Brandan brings evidence as to why Bobby Wagner should have earned a fumble recovery at the end of the Rams game. Better at life honors go to the Tennessee Titans social media team for their injury designation of one of their players and to the Seahawks franchise for earning an NFC West title in the face of different areas of adversity.

318: Time for DK Metcalf to get his revenge Dec 24, 2020

The Seattle Seahawks earned a playoff spot and the Rams were beaten by a previously winless team on the same weekend. Was a 20-15 victory to lock a playoff berth a better feeling than seeing a rival lose in that way? Up 20-3 against the Football Team, it looked like there was potential for a second straight dominant win. Instead, it came down to a final drive by Washington that could have given them a late lead over Seattle. Where did things start to turn? We take a look at the four offensive drives and the way the team played defensively in the fourth quarter.

This Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams looks different than the matchup earlier in the season. Shaquille Griffin has returned from injury, the pass rush has shown consistency since the previous matchup, and Alex Collins won't be finishing the game as the leading rusher. But the main thing we want to see is a revenge game from DK Metcalf. A response from him would prove that the previous game against the Rams defense was a fluke, and would help to put him ahead of Steve Largent in the record books. We also discuss the thing the Jets did successfully against the Rams defense and how it's a strategy Russell Wilson can't be expected to take advantage of.

In the second half of the show we talk about some of the latest Seahawks transactions. Tight end Greg Olsen could return from injury this week. Despite Adam's earlier frustrations with the team, he struggles to place other teams ahead of Seattle in the power rankings. Do Better call outs go to the NFL for continuing to throw road blocks at Josh Gordon's return to the NFL as well as the Pro Bowl selection committee for a pair of Seahawks snubs. Better at Life honors go to SETI for a monumental discovery and to the seven Seahawks selected to the Pro Bowl.

317: An A minus for the 2nd-biggest blowout of the Pete Carroll era Dec 17, 2020

We all remember the biggest blowout of the Pete Carroll era. The 58-0 win over the Arizona Cardinals back in 2012 was one of a string of performances by Seattle leading up to the playoffs in Russell Wilson's rookie season where everything was clicking for the team. Sandwiched between that game and the Super Bowl 48 victory is the latest win over the New York Jets. Should the Seahawks get credit for beating a team they were expected to easily defeat? We recognize some of the biggest performances on defense as well as Jamal Adams record-setting sack.

Russell Wilson looked much better against the Jets than he had in previous weeks, but now the Seahawks offensive line is facing one of it's biggest tests of the season with the defensive line of the Washington Football Team. Second overall pick Chase Young is coming off a game where he recovered a fumble for a touchdown. He's one of a few pass rushers Russ will have to worry about this week. One piece of news to watch will be if Alex Smith will be able to bounce back from his injured calf this week in time for Sunday.

With a win against Washington, the Seahawks can clinch a playoff berth before facing two of their division rivals in the final two weeks. We discuss why it's critical for the Seahawks to, at the very least, earn a division title this season. Jeremy calls in with a new trivia question and breaks down some of the top career rushing leaders from the wide receiver position.

We get into the "greatest game of the NFL season" in Adam's Do Better as Brandan talks about the Patrick Mahomes 'futurists.'Better at life honors go to a successful space mission by Japan and to Kelly Victoria for bringing a magical world to life in the eyes of a 4-year-old girl and in return had an incredibly rewarding experience of her own after coming across a fairy garden.

316: Great. Seahawks fans have to worry about this Jets game now Dec 11, 2020

After watching what was the worst Russell Wilson performance we've seen this season, this show's listeners apparently want to throw us, the hosts of the podcast, under the bus. It's hard to blame them, because a lot about this last game didn't make a lot of sense, so we've got too point fingers at something. While it's difficult to point to the exact issue with Russ, we give it our best attempt from what we've seen looking back at the game.

Coming up on Sunday, Seahawks fans now have to worry about and wonder if Seattle can get things back together well enough to get a win over the Jets and avoid being swept by the state of New York. Sam Darnold is coming off the best game of his season where he only turned the ball over three times, the defense played well enough for about 15 seconds short of a full 60 minutes to win, and the Jets are likely going to be without their best running back and wide receiver. So what are we worried about again?

In the second half of the show, we take a look around the division and also talk about some of the some of the latest team news regarding Josh Gordon and Rashaad Penny. We discuss the aftermath of the unboxing of the B.J. Finney pants that came in the mail last week. (Note: we are still taking some suggestions on what the fate of those should be.) Congratulations go out to Hyde and Seek and What A Hasselbeck for their pick'em performances the last two weeks. Also a congrats to Doc Scott on a career milestone and release of his Essential Mix on BBC Radio.

Barry Sanders and Adam's Sunday both fall into the Do Better slots this week, while the Olympic Committee and Space X team each earn Better At Life honors.

315: Wilson to Metcalf connection slays the Eagles Dec 03, 2020

The Seattle Seahawks offense looked flat through the fourth quarter and even at other times of the game, but thankfully they had DK Metcalf who appears to have some sort of vendetta against the Eagles. The story of Jim Schwartz coming up to him ahead of the game and comparing him to Calvin Johnson was well documented, but Metcalf's postgame comments about how Philly could have been his home also seems to strike a nerve for the sophomore receiver.

Even though we expected to see improvements from the defense in this game, it demonstrated the team's ability to look how it should when the pass rush, linebackers and corners are able to complement one another. We also discuss the perspective some fans and some in the media are still downplaying the seasons that Metcalf and Jamal Adams are having for the Seahawks this year.

Looking ahead to the game against the Giants, we talk about a couple of their players to watch on defense. Daniel Jones looks like an injury suffered against the Bengals will keep him out of the lineup this week. Jones has been able to make up for some of the deficiencies in the Giants offensive line, so with Colt McCoy now in the lineup it may be a challenge to get the ball to a more talented receiving corps than the Seahawks saw last week.

In the second half of the show we talk about the San Francisco 49ers move to Arizona for their next couple "home" games. Talk a little bit about the Broncos and how they looked without a quarterback against the Saints and how this week's win over the Eagles could come into play for playoff seeding. 'Do Better' callouts go out to Bruce Arians and to the Seahawks official auction site. Better at Life honors go to the continued monolith hijinks discussed last week and to the Detroit Lions Reddit community for honoring the quarterback that helped force Matt Patricia out of town.

314: The Seahawks somehow fix their defense with a 'powerful' meeting Nov 26, 2020

The Seattle Seahawks are now 7-3 and coming off a 28-21 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. For the second time this season, we watched a Seahawks defense shut out an opponent in the first quarter of a football game. It was their best defensive performance in terms of points allowed in the 2020 season. What did it take to help turn things around for the defense? By accounts from the team in press conferences this week, they simply held a meeting where players talked about what their jobs were in particular situations.

The defense also got an assist from a Seahawks offense that held the ball for a majority of the game. It kept the Arizona Cardinals offense off the field. Carlos Hyde gave Seattle a dynamic on offense that we haven't seen in previous weeks. We also take a look at some of the moments that both kept the Cardinals in the game, and helped the Seahawks expand their lead late in the game.

The Seahawks move into a four-game stretch of the season where anything other than going undefeated will be a huge disappointment. The next four teams on the schedule (Eagles, Giants, Jets, Football Team) have combined to win a total of two games outside of their own division. With that in mind, the Seahawks need to have some statement wins and rack up stats, especially if Russell Wilson is going to be back in the conversation for MVP. It's not just for personal awards, it's to get the team prepared for a Week 16 rematch with the Rams.

In the second half of the show we take a look back at the previous five weeks and why 2-3 feels like a disappointing result despite some of the issues Seattle faced with injuries. We get into the pick'em winners from the past two weeks. In the 'Do Better' segment we talk about how North Korea may or may not be militarizing dolphins and what DeAndre Hopkins was crying about after a Cardinals loss to the Dolphins. Better at life honors go to an unknown prankster and to a former Seahawks player who embraced the spirit of giving for Thanksgiving.

313: Cleansing of the Hawkra ahead of TNF Nov 19, 2020

It was an ugly game against the Rams that I'm sure most of us prefer not to think about too much. Russell Wilson rarely has back-to-bad games where mistakes end up costing the Seahawks the football game and three in a row is unheard of. So this episode is dedicated to a full Hawkra cleansing of our flock ahead of the Thursday Night Football matchup with the Arizona Cardinals. Sure, it seems like the Cardinals are in a good place after winning in the final seconds against the Bills, and we get into all the reasons why it feels like things are going in the opposite direction for the Seahawks. Now we get back to neutral ahead of this game though.

It's a shorter show this week as we will likely double up with shows on the 'mini-bye' after the game against the Cardinals. (Note from Brandan: No Better at Life mentions this week, so I'm making a prediction in the show notes here that Adam probably has a better at life locked in for the SpaceX astronauts on the next show.)

312: Seahawks magic number is 35, Dolphins achieve 'perfect record' vs NFC West Nov 12, 2020

At the midpoint of the season, the Seahawks are 6-2, but they found another way to lose in frustrating fashion. According to Adam, this was even more frustrating than the loss to the Cardinals, because the team played whatever the opposite is of complementary football. Instead, each phase of the game contributed to something that made it more difficult for another phase. Whether it was giving up a big return on special teams, untimely turnovers, or making a terrible decision on defense when it mattered most, each phase found a way to contribute to the loss. But it's not just on the players, or on the coaches, there is blame to share throughout the organization for some of what we're seeing on the field.

Fortunately, for a defense that seems to have most of their difficulty with mobile quarterbacks, there aren't many left on the schedule. Jared Goff is the next man up to face this Seahawks defense. Can the team make the necessary adjustments based on issues we've seen in the recent loss to the Bills and some of the previous games as well? Will an improved offensive line be able to slow down Aaron Donald? But maybe the most fun matchup will be seeing DK Metcalf going up against Jalen Ramsey.

The last team to face the Los Angeles Rams was the Miami Dolphins. Not only did Miami win that game, but they also beat the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Sam Marcoux, of the podcast Welcome to Perfectville, joins the show to take a victory lap for their "perfect record" in the NFC West.

Also in the second half of the show, we remembered to announce the latest winner of the Tiny Piece of Seahawks Stuff, but we forgot to bring the latest trivia question (even though Jeremy explained the origin of all the work that went into it). Congratulations go out to Iupati Mouth for the win in the pick'em league this week. Philip Rivers and a Seahawks petitioner land in the Do Better segment this week. While a small town gets cute in their political efforts and our veterans earn Better at Life honors.

311: Wagner, Wilson and Metcalf dominate 49ers, reinforcements to arrive for Seahawks vs Buffalo Nov 06, 2020

The Seahawks put together what was probably their most satisfying victory over the season, because they did it against their rival San Francisco 49ers. Of course Niners fans will complain about injuries, the turf, Russell Wilson being so good at football that it's somehow unfair, DK Metcalf having more abs than should be legally allowed, and Bobby Wagner keeping a secret stash of voodoo dolls he can deploy as he's running through their offensive line. We could go on.

Seattle travels to Buffalo this weekend to take on Josh Allen and the Bills. If the Seahawks can put up 25 points, which according to stats off the top of Adam's head is roughly half of what our team usually scores with Russell Wilson against the Bills, then they'll join a small club of high scoring offenses through eight regular season games. On defense, we will likely see the addition of Carlos Dunlap and the return of Jamal Adams and Rasheem Green.

In the second half of the show, we talk about Russell Wilson and the mentorship role that he's demonstrating this year. Who are the other NFC contenders for the top seed? Tampa Bay and Green Bay are looking like the only two serious challengers. In Do Better, we're talking about analysts who are suggesting that Wilson was inviting a helmet shot late in the game against the 49ers and a clothing store that dared to suggest love and unity among our fellow Americans this week. Better at life honors go to NASA for reconnecting with Voyager 2 and to Bobby Wagner for his NFC defensive player of the week honors.

310: Dunlap trade comes at a time for a change in Seahawks mindset on defense Oct 29, 2020

Sunday's loss to the Arizona Cardinals showed one thing about this Seahawks defense. It's not an issue that can be fixed by a change in defensive coordinator. It's not an issue that can be fixed by the addition of Carlos Dunlap. It's going to take another shift in Pete Carroll's mindset about playing more aggressively in some key moments. Carroll already made the shift on offense, so it's possible this change can happen mid season. We discuss some of the reasons why the change is so important especially with the way the team is operating on offense.

There were some positive takeaways from the game against the Cardinals to discuss. DK Metcalf had an incredible play, but Tyler Lockett caught 15 passes for 200 yards and there's barely been a peep about some of his incredible catches coming out of that game. We also look ahead to the matchup with the San Francisco 49ers and why this game is important to have a bounce back game in the division.

Antonio Brown is going to the Bucs and Pro Football Talk suggested that it was some trick by the Seahawks to offer up fake interest in Brown to help make another team in the league interested. From there the discussion takes a turn to national reporters versus local beat reporters. Congratulations to Deep balls better than rainbows as the pick'em league winner for Week 7.

In Do Better, we call out the inevitable shots that were fired Russell Wilson's direction regarding his MVP candidacy and a strange characterization of the Seahawks acquisition of Carlos Dunlap. Better at life honors go to a neighborly good deed and to our quarterback for continuing to do great things in the community.

309: Seahawks at the top of the NFC, Antonio Brown linked to Seattle again Oct 23, 2020

The Seattle Seahawks are coming off of their bye week. This past week, two games in particular worked out very well for Seattle. The 49ers beat the Rams, which put some room between LA and the Seahawks in the NFC West standings. The Green Bay Packers also lost, which put Seattle at the top of the NFC. They now go on to face the Arizona Cardinals on a weekend that the final two undefeated AFC teams play.

The matchup with the Cardinals was supposed to be a chance to see how Jordyn Brooks and Jamal Adams could offer the dynamic the Seahawks wanted to match up against the NFC West. That may have to wait, but Snacks Harrison and Mychal Kendricks could be on the field for the first time in 2020. The 5-0 start for the Seahawks means that Russell Wilson has now had a five-game win streak in six of his nine seasons in the NFL. Looking at his attempts per game, it has been a steady increase from the first streak in 2012 to the current streak in 2020.

In the second half of the show, we talk about the decision to keep fans out of the stadium until late November. We also discuss the importance of making sure we are accountable to our superstitions, after too many Floridians trimmed their beards leading to the benching of Ryan Fitzpatrick. Congratulations to The Jordyn Brookings Institution, the Week 6 pick'em winner.

308: The Seattle Seahawks are 5-0 for the first time in history Oct 15, 2020

For the first time in franchise history, the Seattle Seahawks are undefeated through the first five games of the season. This week's show starts off with a fair amount of concern over the health of our fellow fans. Just how many more of these kind of endings can Pete Carroll expect us to endure? While the first half against the Vikings wasn't much to get excited about, the ability of the defense to hold Minnesota to only 13 points to start the game may have been the most important factor of that half. The Seahawks only needed five good minutes of offense in the second half to help get the team to their first 5-0 start.

Looking at the offense, DK Metcalf not only had the game-winning touchdown reception, he added another touchdown along with a huge 40-yard catch on fourth down. It was an incredible game for Metcalf. We also highlight some of the biggest moments from Russell Wilson on the final drive of the game, and some of the other members of the Seahawks offense. Looking ahead to the next four games, Seattle has a stretch of three road games in four weeks, and their first run through their NFC West rivals coming up. We discuss the outlook for the team moving forward.

In the second half of the show, we take a look back at two of DCH's biggest predictions that he was able to reverse jinx into existence. Anyone critical of his performance last week owes an apology. Congratulations to Joseph V.T. who won last month's tiny piece of Seahawks stuff and congrats to Tonbridgehawk for winning the pick'em league for Week 5.

Tune in to the final segment of the show to find out a specific aspect of football that Rams quarterback Jared Goff needs to 'Do Better' at, and learn how a popular show on Netflix is giving out advice that is less helpful than the combined efforts of the Flock.

307: Good teams don't let bad teams score touchdowns (when it matters) Oct 07, 2020

The Seattle Seahawks are 4-0 for the second time in franchise history. They've also scored 30+ points over four games for the second time in the Russell Wilson era and the third time in franchise history. The other two stretches were in 2015 and back in 1986. Joining the show to talk about the 31-23 victory over the Dolphins is Doug Chanselle-Hary, or DCH as he is often referred to on the show.

Russell Wilson threw for 360 yards and two touchdowns, and despite continuing to be on pace to tie Peyton Manning's record for touchdown passes in a season, we gripe about some of the touchdown passes that were left out there on the field. Mixed reviews on the defense this week from the crew as there was only one punt on the day for Miami. However, they turned the ball over twice and they managed to hold Miami to field goals up until the point the Seahawks were up by two touchdowns late in the fourth quarter.

Coming up this Sunday night is a matchup with the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings have not won a game against Pete Carroll since he joined the Seahawks back in 2010. In fact, Carroll has only lost one game in his career as a head coach or defensive coordinator versus Minnesota. If the Seahawks are going to win this game, stopping Dalvin Cook will be a critical component. In fact, this team matches up very closely with what Seattle saw against Dallas in Week 3.

In the second half of the show, we talk about the impacts of the virus on the league this past week and how it has the potential derail the season. Congrats to Mentals Bodies Chicken (a former league champion) for getting the top spot this week with 14 games correct in the pick'em league. Do Better goes to a new style of graphic for players instead of a photo and to the Houston Texans franchise. Joe Montana and Brandon Shell earn Better at Life honors.

306: Pete Carroll has conditioned Seahawks fans to expect and appreciate good defense Sep 30, 2020

The Seattle Seahawks are 3-0 for the first time since 2013. So why does it feel different three games into the season than it did back then? One difference is that Russell Wilson has now set himself apart from the league and has some of the best weapons on offense of his career. But the defense has given up more passing yards to opponents than any other team in history.

The 2011 Patriots and Packers and the 2018 Chiefs were playoff teams that had similar issues in the secondary through the first three games and went on two win a lot of regular season games. We take a look at what that means historically for a team's Super Bowl chances. We also get into the highlights from the last game against the Cowboys, the players who stood out, and some of the strange moments from Sunday's game.

Sam Marcoux of the Perfectville Podcast joins us to preview Sunday's matchup with the Miami Dolphins. While Ryan Fitzpatrick may not be quite at the level of quarterback's the Seahawks have faced in the first three weeks, he has some significant weapons at receiver and had no problem torching the Jacksonville Jaguars defense on Thursday Night Football. Sam tells us why Seahawks fans should be crossing their fingers that his post-game attire is a red Hawaiian shirt.

Congratulations go out to pick'em winners from the last two weeks. Sideline Sockeye for Week 2 and Unlimited Flocker for Week 3.

In the Do Better segment, we learn there's a canary in the coal mine when it comes to finding power rankings that you should ignore. We also learn that Cowboys fans can tend to get litigious when their team is losing. Better at life honors go to Bills fans for coming up with an easy way to create Josh Allen apologies and to former Seahawks receiver Jermaine Kearse who announced his retirement this week.

305: It's Raining Sexy Deep Balls in Seattle Sep 23, 2020

The final play of the game will define the latest matchup between the Seahawks and Patriots, as Seattle earned the 35-30 victory. However, listening to national programs, you'd think Cam Newton had the breakout performance of his professional career. Cam may deserve a mention, but Russell Wilson should get the credit as the best quarterback in the game with his five touchdown passes to five different receivers. The balance of the offense shifted back closer to what we've come to expect from Coach Pete Carroll, but we're continuing to see some new things, too.

Wilson didn't shy away from the challenge of going up against the 2019 Defensive Player of the Year either. Because they went right at Stephon Gilmore, this game will be remembered as the one where we knew DK Metcalf is on his way to stardom.

Looking ahead to the Dallas Cowboys matchup, the Seahawks are going to need to stop Ezekiel Elliot both on the ground and through their screen game. Can the line stop Zeke the same way they held up Newton on Sunday night? If they can't, then it will be on Russ to continue to put up points. He should be able to do it after seeing the Cowboys defensive line underachieve in back-to-back weeks.

In the second half of the show, we look around the NFC West from this past week. We also congratulate The Biggest Little Flocker on the Week 2 Pick'em victory. NFL defenses throughout the league need to do better, and so does a Patriots receiver who is trying to erase a nickname that he clearly earned and there is definitive documentary evidence for the reason why. Finally, the Seahawks offensive coordinator and Mr. Unlimited himself both land Better at Life honors this week.

304: Seahawks first game showcases new dynamics on offense and defense Sep 17, 2020

Anyone questioning if Pete Carroll could drastically shift the dynamics of the offense and defense from last season to this season got their concerns answered in the Seahawks Week 1 game against the Atlanta Falcons. Their 38-25 victory featured an aggressiveness on offense rarely seen in previous years. No give up plays on 2nd and long, going for it all on fourth down while the Seahawks had the lead, and Russell Wilson looking as though he was in complete command of the offense. Defensively, Carroll used Jamal Adams to generate pressure in a way we haven't seen him use that position in the past. We saw nickel and dime defenses.

With those exciting changes, there remain areas of significant concern. With the Seahawks leading by three scores and a relatively immobile quarterback in Matt Ryan, Seattle's defensive line still wasn't able to get into the backfield with any regularity. Late in the game we didn't see punishing runs by Chris Carson and Carlos Hyde to help put the game away. Atlanta had early success running the football and in the second half they completely abandoned the idea testing Seattle's defensive tackles.

Against the Patriots, the Seahawks front seven will be tested defensively. New England ran the ball early against the Dolphins and then opened up a passing game in the second half that allowed them to move the ball very effectively against Miami. The Patriots strength on defense is in their secondary, but containing Russell Wilson has never been something New England has had much success with. Let's see if the trend of what we saw on offense against the Falcons continues in Week 2.

In the second half of the show take a look down at the 2019 NFC Champions in the cellar of the NFC West. We discuss the new club that Russell Wilson belongs to and another player who will be joining that club in the near future. A Pro Football Focus power rating and states Adam recently traveled through need to do better. Better at life honors go to the 'Let Russ Cookers' and to literally everyone not named Skip Bayless.

303: Strengths and shortcomings of the Seahawks roster, matchups to watch versus Atlanta Sep 08, 2020

It was a big weekend for Seahawks news ahead of the Week 1 matchup with the Atlanta Falcons. On Saturday, the team released its 53-man roster which highlighted the strengths and shortcomings we've been discussing a lot in the offseason. Now it's official-the defensive line has some big question marks. The next day, we learned that Jadeveon Clowney would not be returning to Seattle. Although reports showed that offers made to Clowney were valued at the range of the contract he ultimately signed, he is going back to the AFC to play in the division of his former team.

To kick off the season, the Seahawks will take on the Atlanta Falcons. Matt Ryan was down with an injury last season and even though Seattle had a huge halftime lead, it ended up disappearing toward the fourth quarter. Are we going to see the Seahawks employ a similar strategy this season with their offense to try and go up big early against teams? Perhaps giving up more than 450 yards in the air to Matt Schaub last season was enough to emphasize the importance of improving depth in the secondary in the offseason.

We close out the first half of the show talking about areas of the roster that could come back to bite the team by choosing to focus on depth and familiarity with the team rather than going after higher priced talent.

In the second half of the show, we get a little pushback from one of our newest members of the flock on the pancakes versus waffles debate. We learn about how creative gender reveals need to consider temperature and climate in their decision making, and for people who pump gas and don't move their car before going into the store. Better at life honors go to Dan for helping Adam with trying to get internet in the woods and to the Seahawks for getting through training camp and testing virus free.

302: Seattle Seahawks 2020 Season Expectations Aug 25, 2020

It's time for the annual assessment of our Seattle Seahawks before we head into the regular season. This first game against the Atlanta Falcons is coming up in less than three weeks! We talk about the areas of the team that improved the most in the offseason, the areas that we feel still need improvement, and at least one issue from 2019 that hasn't been talked about enough for how big of a problem it was for the team last season.

On offense, will the Seahawks "Let Russ Cook" or will Pete Carroll shift to a more conservative approach and adopt the "Hammer the Rock" philosophy? Without preseason games, we can only go off the clues we've been given by some of the transactions. We can also go off some of the clues through short video releases to see how the offensive line is shaping up, but we also have to consider the competition when hyping up our own players.

The offseason hype is in full swing when it comes to players like Tyler Lockett, DK Metcalf, Phillip Dorsett, and Travis "TD" Homer. The blame for the hype goes all the way to the top. By "the top" we mean it goes even beyond Pete Carroll or even the NFL.

The 2020 Podcast Pick'em League is now functional. Be sure and register and create a creative team name. Look for a bonus show later this week as we have even more than we talk about beyond this huge 2020 season kickoff episode.

301: San Francisco 49ers - Know Your Rival 2020 Aug 12, 2020

Prior to the deal for Jamal Adams, the Seahawks offseason addition of Quinton Dunbar was the biggest trade of the offseason. The likelihood that Dunbar would play for the team looked low throughout offseason, but now that his legal issues have been resolved Seattle’s secondary will get a big boost with both Dunbar and Adams. As we watch for a boost on the defensive line, the only recent addition was to sign Branden Jackson back to the team. But could we see something soon around Jadeveon Clowney, Everson Griffen or Clay Matthews?

Our Know Your Rival series continues as we look at the moves the San Francisco 49ers made in the offseason. They’ve made some complimentary moves to address their biggest losses, but there are question marks that go along with each of those moves. With the 49ers coming off a Super Bowl loss, we discuss some of the same issues that the Rams and Seahawks had to endure after a big loss.

After the break, an article confirms our thoughts about how NFC West QBs are ranked outside of Seattle. As we explored potential safe spaces for Seahawks backup QB Geno Smith, we learn of a unique phenomenon in the world that provides the ultimate protection. Closing the show, we talk about the return of Mr. Unlimited and the idea that the Seahawks don't have a top 40 fantasy football player on the team. Better at life honors go to the National Park Service and to a Bleacher Report writer for the perfect photo choice on an article about an NFLPA whistleblower hotline.

300: Holy Catfish! The Seahawks trade for Jamal Adams Jul 30, 2020

In a trade the Seattle Seahawks could not have timed any better for our podcast, Jamal Adams is now heading to the Pacific Northwest. Why was the timing so important? We can now celebrate a milestone of the show with some good news rather than talking about our rival that is the defending NFC Champion. Instead, we talk about the risks associated with the Adams trade, the various reactions among Seahawks fans and some questions about the team that still remain going into the season.

As part of our milestone episode, Steve Raible joins the show and he talks about how announcing Seahawks games could be very different in this 2020 season. He shares some moments from his career with the team and we even talk about the popularization of the "Holy Catfish" call and the play from Marshawn Lynch's career that put the term in the consciousness of Seahawks fans.

After the interview, we talk about the NFL Top 100 list, some of the recent roster cuts by Seattle and which 80s to 90s era Seahawks tattoo we would get. We close the show by talking about why China and Mike Florio need to do better. Better at Life honors go to the newest member of the Seahawks as well as a Canadian couple who went off the grid and may need to provide Geno Smith with some advice on living in solitude.

We close the show with a thanks to all those supporting the podcast along with a new parody song (lyrics by Flocktimus Prime):

Thank you for joining the Flock.

We talk Seahawks around the clock.

Your blood bleeds blue;

you're a 12 and a friend of the pod.

And when we hoist the Lombardi,

you'll be celebrating with the crew.

Well, you will see the biggest Facebook gif party,

and you'll smile real big and say,

"I'm glad I joined the Flock."

Thank you for joining the Flock.

Bonus: Reacting to the Jamal Adams trade w/Rob Staton Jul 26, 2020

The Seahawks pulled off a trade on Saturday for an immensely talented safety. Jamal Adams was an All-Pro in 2019 and second team All-Pro the year before. Seattle is getting a player who immediately gives them another player on the defensive side of the ball that opposing teams will need to account for. But it also came at a big cost.

While Pete Carroll and John Schneider have dealt first round picks in the past, no trade comes close to the amount of risk associated with this deal. But giving up two future first round picks, it means that if an injury occurs that gives the team a top 10 pick - the Jets will now be the beneficiary.

Did the Seahawks also make a mistake by not using a similar trade package for help along the defensive line? The next few weeks will tell us if Seattle is actually satisfied with the moves they've made up front or if there is more work to be done ahead of the Week 1 game against the Atlanta Falcons.

299: Arizona Cardinals - Know Your Rival 2020 Jul 24, 2020

Please help out the show by nominating the Sea Hawkers Podcast for the 15th Annual People's Choice Podcast Awards. You can visit podcastawards.com to register and make the nomination in the Sports category. There's less than a week left. We missed the cut last year and would really like to make it this year.

Before we get to the Arizona Cardinals offseason and their outlook for 2020, we discuss the decision to cancel preseason games. It will be the first time since we've been doing the show that we don't have a preseason crush going into Week 1 of the NFL. Included in the changes is how the team has allowed season ticket holders to opt out for their seats this year. We also discuss the PFF rankings for the Seahawks defensive line and how Michael Bennett's retirement means one less veteran who can come back and help offer some improvement. There's still some time before the season and as we review the Cardinals you'll understand that there isn't much difference between the lowest ranked team and being middle of the pack in the NFL.

The Arizona Cardinals are a team, apart from maybe the Tampa Bay Bucs, who are widely seen as winning the offseason. But apart from optimism from last year and a blockbuster trade for one of the top wide receivers in the NFL, the NFC West rival parallels the Cleveland Browns in many respects. The most positive part of the Cardinals is that they have very few players who can be disliked. We need your help in making up some rumors to build up our sports hate for this particular team.

In the second half of the show, we talk about the latest news in the Quinton Dunbar case. There is one reason to be optimistic that he could play for the team this season. The renaming of the Washington Football Team, means that a friend of a longtime listener also needs a new nickname. CBS Sports lands in the doghouse for both of the Do Better selections this week. There has been a lot of focus on team nicknames over the past couple weeks, so we close the show by focusing on the best and worst of team names throughout sports.

298: Los Angeles Rams - Know Your Rival 2020 Jul 07, 2020

The month of July is traditionally the month where we look around the division at the other NFC West rivals to get an idea of how the landscape has changed since the previous season. That tradition continues for our show this year, but instead of bringing on other podcasters this season, we're going to be putting in the work and doing the research ourselves. Kicking off the month of July is the Los Angeles Rams. They have a new logo, they have new uniforms and they have a new stadium. Those three things help add up to a 10-6 season according to some of our favorite Rams fans.

With a significant loss of talent in the offseason, it's tough to see where the Rams find a way to improve off last season. The offensive line hasn't improve and that will prove to be the single biggest factor in the Rams decline. We take a look at an article of the top six offseason moves for the Rams, and that alone should provide the kind of clues that it's going to be an uphill battle for coach Sean McVay.

In the second half of the show we talk about the record breaking Patrick Mahomes contract, Cam Newton signing with the Patriots, and another former Seahawks cornerback going to San Francisco. Truck manufacturers are called out along with NFC West writers who voted for one former Rams player to make the all-decade team for the division. Better at life honors go to a mutual friend and to the crew of Hard Knocks for continuing to move forward in shining a light on what the Rams will be dealing with leading up to the scheduled 2020 NFL season.

297: Decoding Pete Carroll's Comments on Colin Kaepernick Jun 19, 2020

This is normally the time of the offseason where we would talk about the Seahawks finishing up OTAs, instead we're talking about the end of the team's zoom meetings. With the relatively lack of news, some of the biggest news still remains the comments from Pete Carroll revisiting the team's decision not to sign Colin Kaepernick. We provide some of the context that Carroll may have been unwilling to offer in the press conference with the mindset of trying to protect his team, while at the same time trying not to hurt Kap's chances of getting back into the NFL, and not wanting to talk about the potential for added distractions.

Where have the Seahawks spent their money this offseason? In an offseason where there was potential to bring in some big name talent, to this point they've generally spread the money out rather than spending big in one spot. Can we really believe that Carroll is content with the job they've done to this point in the offseason?

The potential for a 2020 season may even be in jeopardy, but Adam may have the expertise needed to consult with teams on how to live life outdoors and away from people, all things that may be necessary for football to happen in the fall. Closing out the show, we talk about camper home repair, how wrong Snopes is about Tom Brady, the excitement over rural Internet, and the Bridge to the Future march.

296: Clowney turns down the Browns, Pete Prisco joins Team 'Let Russ Cook' Jun 05, 2020

NFL teams are returning to their facilities starting on Friday so that is hopefully a positive step toward having an NFL season this year. The Carlos Hyde signing may be sending a less than positive signal about the health of Rashaad Penny though. The guys talk about how a potentially troubling aspect of the signing is how playerprofiler.com has Eddie Lacy as the "best comp" for Hyde.

Jadeveon Clowney remains unsigned and the latest rumors say he turned down a deal from the Browns worth $12 million with incentives up to $20 million. Are the Seahawks really going to be content with the players they currently have on the defensive line going into the season?

Pete Prisco's Top 100 list hit the street recently, which means it's time for a trip to Prisco's World. How has Prisco gone from having Russell Wilson ranked so low in the past to now being on team "Let Russ Cook"? We also go down the list and talk about the rankings of some of the players from our NFC West rivals.

In the second half of the show, we respond to some emails and reviews and Adam talks about an uncomfortable experience in his Do Better. We also discuss how Tiger Woods let down Russell Wilson in the quarterback's charity efforts. Lastly, Pete Carroll closes the show with his message of empathy after watching a week of protests and violence in the streets.

Bobby Wagner is hurting like everybody else Jun 02, 2020

Bobby Wagner met with reporters on Monday and it turned into a conversation more than a news conference. Many of the news stories that came out yesterday and today are based on this call, and this will give you the full context of what was discussed.

I cut out some of the audio problems that came up during the call, silence between questions, some "ums" and the four football questions that took away from the conversation that dominated the call.

295: Assigning blame for the Seahawks offseason - It's the Giants' fault May 22, 2020

It's the first show of the second half of the Seahawks offseason, just past the Seahawkquinox, and there were a lot of strange things to happen at the apex of the offseason. First, we discuss the rumor that apparently was being thrown around two years ago, but was apparently only worth reporting now that Russell Wilson is being considered as the second-most untradeable player in the offseason. We go back to the initial audio that sparked the flurry of stories as Chris Simms seemed to downplay a rumor he didn't believe was worth following up on at the time.

Another story that we don't have a clear picture of is what happened leading up to the arrest warrant being issued for the new Seahawks cornerback Quinton Dunbar. The story from the initial report was that Dunbar was involved in a robbery, but not long after the reports had changed and stories from witnesses had evolved to Dunbar having left the scene before the robbery took place.

We also discuss team news like Geno Smith coming back to the Seahawks and a pair of veteran running backs the Seahawks have reportedly discussed contracts with. One listener says he'll be done with the NFL if games are played this fall without fans, and we talk about how the games could be broadcast to make it less weird.

In the second half of the show, we discuss the Rams new uniforms as well as a new rule that would take the place of the onside kick. A member of the flock points to how many of the Seahawks moves stem from some of the issues Seattle struggled with in their game against the Packers. We also look back at a listener who took issue with the discussion coming out of the draft show a few weeks back.

Finally, we note areas where Russell Wilson and the Seahawks have been disrespected in the Do Better segment this week. Better at life honors go out to a Browns fan on YouTube and to Will Ferrell for one of his comments going after a current member of the Seahawks tight end group.

Bonus: The INs and OUTs of the 2020 Seahawks Schedule May 11, 2020

The Seattle Seahawks 2020 schedule is out and every year for the last few years now Dave Bloomquist, one of our long-time members of the flock, joins the show to dig deep into the schedule. Dave looks at the rest days for the team and finds where there are some of the toughest stretches of the upcoming season regardless of the strength of opponent. We also take a look back into history to see where the team performs well, and doesn't perform so well, to start the season. Clinton Bonner joins the show this year as well and so we mash up the format of his usual show with the schedule release and have a little offseason fun.

294: Seattle Seahawks 2020 Draft Recap Apr 30, 2020

The Seattle Seahawks went into the draft with a need to improve the pass rush and came away with two defensive ends. Can Darrell Taylor and Alton Robinson help make up the difference with Jadeveon Clowney looking like he may not return to the team? Jarran Reed taking his old number back is the latest clue that Clowney has plans to go to another team this offseason.

Two more players who won't be back are Justin Britt and D.J. Fluker. While Fluker got a lot of love on his way out the door, there didn't seem to be as much there for Britt. After we talk about the player departures, we go pick by pick through the latest additions starting with the team's newest linebacker Jordyn Brooks. Every year the Seahawks release some of the best calls to their draft picks to let them know they're being selected and this year's winning call went to their seventh round pick Stephen Sullivan.

Every year of the draft we have to decode what the team was taking into consideration as to why they approached the draft the way that they did. We go through some of the biggest factors, and also look at the players the team has taken to try and decide if it's a clue for the future direction of the team and we get to try and project the type of impact the player will have. Adam says the player he's most intrigued by is WR Freddie Swain and Brandan likes OG Damien Lewis.

In the second half of the show we talk about moves from the division rivals as San Francisco was able to trade for Trent Williams to fill in behind Joe Staley. The move made frat boy Sean McVay want to pound beers. Adam talks about how he's tired of news writers not following the rules of journalism. We hear your suggestions of the terrifying movie villains combined into one and better at life honors go out to Justin Britt and the people who made the 2020 NFL Draft come together.

The Seahawks close out the 2020 NFL Draft with five picks on Day 3 Apr 26, 2020

Our bonus daily coverage of the 2020 NFL Draft wraps up with a look at the Seahawks Day 3 selections. Did the Seahawks fully address their needs or do they have more work to do before the start of the season? What kind of immediate impact could their new group have on the team? Rob Staton of the Seahawks Draft Blog is back on the podcast as we talk about all five of the picks from the third day of the draft.

Colby Parkinson was a player who was talked about as a potential first round pick only a year ago and they were able to select him in the fourth round. The Seahawks added running back Deejay Dallas as players of his build were becoming more scarce in the draft. Seattle doubled up on edge rushers by taking Alton Robinson in the fifth round and closed out their day with two wide receivers: Freddie Swain of Florida and Stephen Sullivan of LSU.

We close out the show talking about what it could mean for the roster and the flexibility it offers them to make moves if they find themselves in a situation where they can add an impact free agent going into the NFL season.

Seattle Seahawks 2020 NFL Draft Day 2 Reaction Apr 25, 2020

The Seahawks made a big move near the start of Day 2 of the 2020 NFL Draft to move up and select pass rusher Darrell Taylor of Tennessee. They gave up their 3rd round compensatory pick to make the move, but were able to add a mid-fourth round pick by trading back from the final pick of the second round. In the third round, at pick 69, Seattle went with another SEC player in the trenches. Rob Staton of Seahawks Draft Blog joins the podcast and says he had LSU guard Damien Lewis consistently projected to go in the top 50. Although the Seahawks have been stocking up on guard this offseason, he immediately jumps into the competition for a starting spot.

Reacting to the Seahawks selection after the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft Apr 24, 2020

The Seattle Seahawks stayed put on the first day of the draft and selected Texas Tech linebacker Jordyn Brooks. Rob Staton of Seahawks Draft Blog comes back on the show to react to the pick. With so many needs on the team, it's difficult for fans to accept that the Seahawks have now used their top draft asset as the biggest needs for the team remain the biggest needs.

293: Pre-draft coverage with Rob Staton of Seahawks Draft Blog Apr 22, 2020

We've got Rob Staton back on the podcast for one last show before the draft. Prior to the show, we listened in to the press conference with Pete Carroll and John Schneider and discuss some of our takeaways regarding the ongoing situation with Jadeveon Clowney, the state of the Seahawks pass rush, and how the focus on the offensive line in free agency. Considering the lack of immediate contributors at the defensive end spot, it may be better for the Seahawks to look toward the defensive interior or consider weapons for Russell Wilson either at receiver or at running back. Rob talks about how Jonathan Taylor can't help but talk about the Seahawks even when he's asked about other NFL teams.

At the Seahawks Draft Blog, there's a draft board that is loaded with potential Seahawks draft picks that Rob believes should be on Pete and John's radar when it comes to the different rounds. Sure, there may be some surprises, but if you study up on that list, it's likely you'll become familiar with players who Seattle ultimately selects this Thursday through Saturday.

292: Greg Olsen learns the culture of the Seahawks TE group, ranking the 2020 quarterback draft class Apr 16, 2020

This show starts off by recapping the Seahawks news from the past two weeks, including the sad news of former Seahawks quarterback Tarvaris Jackson passing away this week. In free agency news, Seattle continues to add to the offensive line by bringing back Mike Iupati. What does this mean for the team in terms of how they approach the 2020 draft and which players are going to be competing for which positions?

With the draft beginning next week, we discuss the similarities and differences from previous drafts. Even though there are some glaring needs on defense, the team could continue to look for weapons to surround Russell Wilson with early on in the draft. With the offseason being very different this year, it could also change the way teams may want to think about their rookie players going into next season.

The Seahawks recently posted a video on the tight ends position room where Greg Olsen was introduced to the current group of Seattle tight ends. To say that he'll bring a higher level of maturity to the group is an understatement and we have the clips as evidence. We also clue Luke Willson into why a grizzly bear would obviously win a fight with a gorilla.

Adam has ranked the 2020 class of quarterbacks and has decided that only two rise to the level of providing a team with a quarterback who gives a team a legitimate shot at the playoffs.

In the second half of the show we dive into some clips from the Mysterious Universe podcast that explores some of the origins of Pete Carroll's coaching philosophy. If you want to check out their full podcast, you can tune in around the 1:12:25 mark of their show. We also discuss a listener email that talks about just how lucky the team would be to find a pass rusher who can provide an immediate impact late in the first round or into the second round of the draft.

Closing out the show, we talk about an Air Force program that combines two of the most terrifying terms to come from sci-fi films into a single program that should sound alarm bells for anyone familiar with the Terminator and Star Trek series. Kam Chancellor is snubbed from a list of All-Decade team snubs. A politician in Washington State has decided to give up politics to serve the public in another way and science and medicine tells us all why it was better for humanity that the Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl this year.

291: Seahawks draft prospects on the offensive and defensive line Apr 09, 2020

Times are tough for some of the 2020 NFL Draft prospects. Particularly those prospects who would have been able to shine in front of NFL scouts at the various team Pro Days across the country. While there are quite a few players to feel sympathy for, there is a subset of players for which Rob Staton has no sympathy. Rob talks about a few players who had an opportunity to compete at the NFL Combine and chose not to ultimately missed out on what ended up being their last chance to display their athleticism.

One Seahawks free agent has been significantly impacted by his inability to meet with teams and get looked over by medical staff is Jadeveon Clowney. Considering the Seahawks biggest need has been to add to the defensive line, they've done little to add high impact talent to a group that finished at the bottom of the NFL in so many categories. Is Clowney, the coronavirus, or the Seahawks to blame for this?

Getting back into Seahawks prospects, we take a look at players who can rush the passer as we learn who underwhelmed Rob is when considering several options Seattle has throughout the draft. While the options at pass rush may be limited at the end of the first round, finding a player on the offensive line may be more promising. We discuss Rob's latest mock draft and his thoughts on some of the biggest names.

Closing out the show, we explore a position that is relatively low when you consider positions of need for Seattle. But the Seahawks always seem to find a way to surprise us when it comes to the draft. When it comes down to the kind of players Rob wants, there's a certain type of mentality he feels is missing and would like to see Seattle address through the draft.

290: Evaluating the Frank Clark trade one year later, best Seahawks among NFL jersey numbers Apr 02, 2020

The Seahawks made a couple moves in the last week of free agency and freeing up some salary cap space with the release of Ed Dickson and the announcement that Tedric Thompson would be released soon. With those two moves announced on the same day, Seahawks fans were anticipating bigger news. Instead, we learn that Jadeveon Clowney's public asking price has now dropped below the $20 million mark. At the very least, hopefully it means there is some resolution on the issue soon.

With some down time ahead of the NFL Draft later this month, we take a look back at the 2019 free agency period and the situation that led the Seahawks to trade Frank Clark and if that's a move that John Schneider would like to have back or if he would need to do all over again. What ultimately came of the draft picks that were exchanged with the Kansas City Chiefs? Though Ziggy Ansah was the biggest miss of the previous offseason, the risk may still have been worth the reward although we take a look at some of the other moves that ultimately could have been accomplished with the cap space that was dedicated for Ansah.

The Athletic kicked off the offseason lists by running through the top players in NFL history to wear each jersey number and several Seahawks veterans made the list and there were many other honorable mentions. The conversation led to a discovery by Adam on how to use former Seahawks nose tackle Joe Nash in Tecmo Bowl to blow up every play up the middle or even plays where the quarterback was under center.

In the second half of the show we talk about our latest giveaway. Members of the Flock can go to tinypiecesofseahawksstuff.com and type 'Go Hawks' in the comments for a random drawing of a Russell Wilson card with a tiny piece of Seahawks jersey. We also talk about some NFL news as well as a running back who is Adam's current draft crush. Do better calls go out to Jeep thieves as well as NFL owners.

289: Time for Clowney to get off the fence, ranking the Seahawks best moves so far Mar 26, 2020

The Seahawks are now into the second week of free agency and Jadeveon Clowney has not yet made a decision to return to the Seahawks or move on to another team. What is making this decision so difficult for Seattle's top pass rusher? In the meantime, the Seahawks made two moves that have some potential upside for the roster by sending a 5th round draft pick to Washington for a cornerback going into the final year of his contract. Quinton Dunbar received the 2nd highest coverage grade from PFF last season, but there is some important context for fans to at least be aware of before crossing off Tre Flowers as a member of the starting lineup in 2020.

John Schneider also brought in a veteran wide receiver. Where does that move rank among his 10 best decisions so far this offseason? Especially considering what might be some of the best decisions on which players would stay in Seattle and which were allowed to move on. Despite the moves, there continue to be glaring spots for improvement along the defensive line. Mike Daniels in the interior should be a key target for Seattle while there are some veteran pass rushers who remain available as possible upgrades.

In the second half of the show we learn that Germain Ifedi is heading to the Chicago Bears, which ads to a growing list of questionable moves that appear to be a desperate attempt to compete in the NFC North. Todd Gurley was cut by the Los Angeles Rams and since joined the Falcons. We also discuss how Tom Brady will look (and sound) while playing quarterback for Bruce Arians.

288: What the CATFISH is John Schneider doing? Oh wait, that makes sense Mar 20, 2020

It's incredible how things have changed in just the short time since our last episode. As we all deal with some of the many changes that we're working through, it's fun to take some time and think about things like Seahawks football. So with NFL free agency moving on as scheduled, the Seahawks are focusing primarily on the offensive line while adding a veteran pass rusher as Bruce Irvin returns to the Seahawks. Along the defensive line Jarran Reed returns to Seattle while Quinton Jefferson finds a new home in Buffalo.

As Germaine Ifedi looks to make upwards of $10 million per season, John Schneider seems to have found a right tackle from the Jets who compares to Ifedi with one-third of the penalties. Jadeveon Clowney is still looking for a big time contract, too, but is time running out for him to make a deal? Seattle seems to have an inside track the longer we wait. Fan favorite Luke Wilson is also back with the team.

Around the NFC West we look at some of the other major deals as DeAndre Hopkins is now going to be paired with Larry Fitzgerald in Arizona. We break down how the Texans made one of the worst moves in history by accepting a trade that included David Johnson, which may be even more help to the Cardinals by allowing them to clear out cap space. The Rams find themselves in a tough spot with Jared Goff now counting more toward the salary cap than any other quarterback in the NFL.

287: Seahawks needs versus wants ahead of free agency Mar 12, 2020

For the two months since the conclusion of the Seahawks season, every position group has now been dissected to the point that a person could be convinced that every area of the team has room to find improvement. Ahead of free agency next week, Adam and Brandan direct the focus toward what the Seahawks really need to find in free agency and away from the positions that could be considered as luxury moves. But if Seattle is going to have a championship offseason, their financial focus truly needs to be on positions of need.

Teams can begin negotiating directly with players early next week, but is it possible that a contract for Clowney could come at the end of this week ahead of free agency? If he does decide to head out we talk about why Yannick Ngakoue isn't the answer and how there are several names in the free agent market who could be signed to help build a solid rotations of veterans along with the young players along the Seahawks line.

Compensatory picks have been announced and we talk about which picks the Seahawks have now. Russell Wilson also has a new quarterback coach who we can only expect will become the NFL's next Mike Holmgren. We close out the show by talking about the restrictions impacting Seattle sporting events, an article about the Rams that asks a question that has already been answered and a look at the NFL's latest draft model to incorrectly predict future Seahawks. Better at life honors go to leadership in XFL officiating and former Seahawks defensive back Nesby Glasgow.

286: Ngakoue trade rumor clouds situation with Clowney, post-combine talk with Rob Staton Mar 06, 2020

This week the rumor is that the Seattle Seahawks may be looking to trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars for their top defensive end Yannick Ngakoue. This could signal a few different things with regard to Jadeveon Clowney. Perhaps they've decided to move on from Clowney (a bit too early to seem likely), or it could be that they are trying to gauge the market before making their best offer to Clowney. It may be they want him in addition to keeping Clowney or they are simply doing their due diligence in case a deal falls through before free agency opens.

Rob Staton of Seahawks Draft Blog joins the show to talk about an unlikely scenario, but one that could be worth considering with the talent that Clemson's Isaiah Simmons could bring to the NFL. Offensive line could be a prime target, but will any of the guys the Seahawks like be left by the end of the first round? Even with the deep receiver draft, Rob considers the idea that the Seahawks could fill their need for a possession receiver by taking a tight end.

284: Free agent news - Greg Olsen to the Seahawks, Jadeveon Clowney wants a market-setting contract Feb 20, 2020

The first big news of the offseason hit on Tuesday this week as the Seahawks announced that they had agreed to terms with former Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen. While Seattle was in the market for a tight end this offseason considering the problems they had with depth at the position, is paying a 35-year-old the best approach. Brandan and Adam discuss the pros and cons of the situation and why the team could have felt that this was the best move to make.

In the division, we saw what average tackles are going to start making as D.J. Humphries was re-signed by the Arizona Cardinals. That means that Germaine Ifedi is likely to move on. Could George Fant take Ifedi's spot or is Fant set on heading out of town so he can play at the left tackle spot?

Reports of Jadeveon Clowney ran rampant this past week, but as we point out on the show this week, that when you visit the source material behind the story, the thing that sparked the issue is relatively benign. Of course Clowney wants the best deal possible. That's what every player wants in the offseason!

We close out the show this week by talking about the Seattle Dragons and their first win at home. CenturyLink Field has decided they don't want to take cash at the stadium anymore, which earns the Seahawks home field a "do better" call out. Better at life honors go to a Super Bowl champion helping to better the lives of some furry friends and to Adam's daughter for asking something a teenager generally wouldn't ask a parent.

283: Catfish the 49ers! Feb 06, 2020

We start off the show by celebrating the Chiefs win over of NFC West rival and a fourth quarter collapse that allowed 21 fourth quarter points by Kansas City. As much heat as Kyle Shanahan is getting, very little criticism seems to be going toward the San Francisco defense for being anti-clutch in the final moments. We discuss the joy many Seahawks fans are experiencing with Richard Sherman unable to add a second title with his new team.

Now that the 2019 season is officially behind us, what needs to change for the Seahawks in 2020. Does Pete Carroll's philosophy need to evolve, could Russell Wilson talk him into allowing the team to run a more up-tempo offense? Adam discusses how the Seahawks can increase their tempo without changing the mindset of being physical in the run game.

The discussion leads toward free agency and which players the Seahawks may choose not to re-sign and also players they may cut to add some additional cap space. The biggest key to the offseason should be improving the pass rush and focusing on ways to improve the team's ability to stay healthy throughout the season.

Pick'em league winners are announced and the full results are posted. Congratulations go out to those who finished in the top 10 spots. Do better goes to the wind and people who don't return their carts in the parking lot as well as a discussion surrounding the geography of the Super Bowl winner. Better at life honors go to Brandan's daughters effort in the school spelling bee and to Andy Reid for earning his first Super Bowl title as a head coach.

282: Closing out the Seahawks 2019 season Jan 17, 2020

In what is becoming an overused narrative, the Seahawks did not try and force the run in the divisional round loss to the Green Bay Packers. As frustrating as it was to see once again the Seahawks trying to overcome a big first half deficit, the defenses inability to quickly adjust to the Packers plan to carve the defense with throws to Davante Adams. Even when Flowers tried to stay over the top of Adams in the second half, the receiver made the defense look foolish.

Seattle was able to mount a comeback in the second half, but Russell Wilson was under duress for a majority of the game. Adam explains why we saw Pete Carroll and the Seahawks reluctant to "let Russ cook," because he could not survive an entire season taking the kind of hits that he did against the Packers defense. Fortunately, fans were treated to one big moment as Shaquem Griffin logged his first sack in what could have been a huge turning point in the game.

The guys talk about the frustrations that fans have with Pete Carroll, what's next for the Seahawks in the offseason and if this group of players lived up to preseason expectations for what they could achieve.

Closing out the show, Adam calls out his friend Gerrad for his move to jinx the Seahawks late in the game, and to the 49ers quarterback who had no sense for history at the end of the regular season game against Seattle. Better at life honors go to a comedian raising funds for the wildfire relief efforts in Australia and the Seahawks twins for coming together and giving us a memorable post season moment.

281: Russell Wilson leads the Seahawks through Wild Card weekend Jan 07, 2020

The Seahawks advance into the Divisional Round of the NFC playoffs after their 17-9 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. Instead of boosting their takeaway numbers, this time around they boost their sack numbers. While the numbers may say that Russell Wilson stayed clean in the pocket, it felt a lot different while watching the game. Ultimately, it was Russell Wilson leading the way for the Seahawks, both on the ground and through the air, and his biggest target downfield was rookie wide receiver DK Metcalf.

While the overall numbers weren't impressive on the ground, Marshawn Lynch had three moments that stood out. Two of those moments involved Lynch driving defensive backs to the ground after catching a pass, and the other was a vintage Beast Mode run to get into the end zone. Adam and Brandan also discuss the Jadeveon Clowney hit on Carson Wentz and Doug Pederson's fourth quarter choices to go for touchdowns rather than field goals late in the game.

280: A game of inches - the Seahawks game that embodied the cliche Jan 04, 2020

The regular season is over, and playoff football starts this weekend. Though a different outcome of the 26-21 loss to the 49ers wouldn't have changed the fact that the Seahawks would be playing on the first weekend, it does change the venue. About one inch could have made a huge difference. Not just for the Seahawks, but for the entire NFC playoff picture.

A overdue episode this week as Brandan is traveling and Adam had a Jeep to fix that left him stranded out of recording range. The guys get into the biggest moments from the Week 17 game against the 49ers and look ahead to the matchup with the Eagles on Sunday.

279: The Beast is Alive and Well Dec 26, 2019

For the 12 hours following the loss to the Arizona Cardinals, the emotions of Seahawks fans may have sunk to a season low. After the loss of Chris Carson and C.J. Prosise to injury in the matter of a few plays, Seattle fans were collectively asking the question if Marshawn Lynch was well enough to suit back up one more time in the blue and green. As things turned out, a return had already been in the works prior to Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Will the emotion of the move be enough to help motivate the Seahawks toward victory on Sunday? There is a lot for the Seahawks to overcome as Duane Brown is likely don’t for the season and both Mike Iupati and Joey Hunt are hurt. Can an offensive line that allowed a huge day for Chandler Jones rebound against Nick Bosa and the other four first round picks on the stacked 49ers defensive line?

On the other side of the ball, can Jadeveon Clowney return and have a similar performance to his game against the 49ers in Week 10? If Seattle is going to get to the quarterback, they're going to have to do so with their front four, because now George Kittle is back and is having a monster season. We take a look at both playoff scenarios with a win or loss in Week 17.

278: Seahawks versus the Arizona David Larry Johnson Fitzgeralds Dec 21, 2019

With midweek news of the Josh Gordon and Al Woods suspensions, it takes us away from just how great this week started out following Sunday's game with the Carolina Panthers. The Seahawks moved to 7-1 on the road, Pete Carroll won his 100th regular season game, Seattle took the top spot in the NFC away from the 49ers. Plus, they were able to get the win with having so many key injuries on defense.

The Gordon suspended indefinitely and Woods out for four games, Brandan and Adam talk about which one will impact the team more moving forward. Seattle has a chance to finish the season at home now against the Cardinals at 49ers. Arizona has been a team with a history of winning late in the season at CenturyLink and Kyler Murray has improved as a passer since earlier this season.

However, this game is relatively inconsequential in terms of winning the NFC West, so Seattle can afford to rest some key players in advance of the Week 17 game against the San Francisco 49ers. In other news, the Cardinals do have one of the NFL's top 100 players as Larry Fitzgerald was named one of the few active players to the list. The Seahawks now have two members of the top 100 as Steve Largent made the list along with Walter Jones.

In the picks, congrats to BowDown2Young ! (not sure if the name was changed after the perfect week)

277: The Decaf Metcalf Show Dec 12, 2019

Turning the corner from Sunday's 28-12 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, @Seahawkscrazy on Twitter helps out by taking the blame for the loss this past week. Shaquille Griffin mentioned after the game that the Seahawks needed to be taken down from their high horse they'd been riding on. Considering Seattle was coming off wins over the 49ers, a tough Eagles defense and a Monday night win over the Vikings, maybe they were due for the first road loss of the season. But did it have to come against the Rams when there is a game against the Panthers that could have served the same purpose?

Despite their 5-8 record, there is a lot of talent on the Carolina Panthers team considering Christian McCaffery was being talked about as an MVP candidate earlier on this season. Quarterback Kyle Allen has come back to Earth after a show he put on earlier this season. The Panthers have a couple future Hall of Fame players on their defense, but have one of the league's worst teams against the run and that should allow Seattle to help get back on track after struggling to put up points on the Rams.

Before the season started, one question we had was who would be taking over the Doug Baldwin role as Russell Wilson's favorite third down target. In 2012 it was Sidney Rice, Golden Tate took over in 2013 and then the next four years belonged to Doug Baldwin. Tyler Lockett looked like he would move into that spot considering he had it last year when Baldwin was injured, but that has not been the direction Wilson has gone the most on third down this season.

In the second half of the show we talk about a couple of the latest roster moves for the Seahawks, we take a look at the latest controversy the Patriots have stepped into and we talk about the All-Time NFL Top 100 list and how Walter Jones could have the best chance for any Seahawks player to make that list.

276: Seahawks vs Rams quick reaction - Sleeping and jet sweeping Dec 09, 2019

After debating the question all week about whether Seahawks fans should cheer for a 49ers loss or a Saints loss, we are left with what might have been the least desirable outcome - a loss for the Seahawks. Seattle lost to the Rams 28-12 in a way that we haven't seen from a Seahawks team in recent memory. A game where they didn't look like they came to play at any point in this game. After giving up 21 first half points, the defense was able to get two turnovers early in the 3rd quarter, but the offense wasn't able to move the ball. A big reason for that is how they were dominated in the trenches, and when Russell Wilson had time to throw the ball there were dropped passes, penalties and other annoyances that kept the offense from moving the ball. The good news is that the Seahawks still control their destiny and maybe this can be a wakeup call going into the next two weeks ahead of the Week 17 matchup with the Niners.

275: The Seahawks move into first place in the NFC West after win vs Vikings, 49ers loss to Ravens Dec 05, 2019

For just the 12th time in franchise history, the Seattle Seahawks have now won 10 or more games. Russell Wilson has helped to make that happen as he has been the quarterback for 7 of those 12 double digit winning seasons. The latest 10 win season comes after a 37-30 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Although the Seahawks were down at halftime, it was clear the defense had Cousins, Cook and Diggs bottled up in the first half outside of the first and last drives of the first half. A huge third quarter propelled Seattle to a three-score lead in the fourth quarter, but as we've learned to expect, no lead is ever safe.

Looking ahead to the Sunday Night Football game against the Rams, Seattle will look to continue their 3-0 prime time streak, Carroll's streak of undefeated games in prime time in December, and Pete's next win has a chance to be his 100th victory on a field that helped propel him back into the NFL as the coach for the Seahawks. To get the win the Seahawks will have to find a way to keep Aaron Donald in check, put pressure on Jared Goff and deal with a new piece of the Rams puzzle with Jalen Ramsey now at corner.

Closing out the first half of the show, we discuss the injury that Jadeveon Clowney is dealing with and somewhat recent context of what Marshawn Lynch went through at the end of the 2015 season. It may be an injury that Clowney will decide to fight through until the offseason.

In the second half of the show, we talk more about how the playoff picture is shaping up for the Seahawks. We also congratulate those who have won the last few weeks in the pick'em.

Week 10 - Playoff Bound just Locket In - Week 10 standings

Week 11 - Colchester Hawk - Week 11 standings

Week 12 - Piggie0072 - Week 12 standings

274: Dalvin Cook gives the Vikings a style the Ravens, Saints had in their wins over the Seahawks Nov 30, 2019

The Seahawks move to 9-2 on the season after this past Sunday's victory over the Philadelphia Eagles which puts them at 6-0 on the road. It matches their best mark in franchise history and they did it without the help of Jadeveon Clowney. We talk about the last time a core injury came up with a star player and how it impacted the Seahawks in the playoffs during the 2015 season.

Even without Clowney, Seattle's pass rush was able to frustrate Carson Wentz who was dealing with a diminished offensive line and receiving corps. Rasheem Green had one of his best days as a member of the Seahawks and was instrumental in Al Woods getting a stat in the football deflation column. Rashaad Penny helped put the game away with a 58-yard run, but that didn't help to make Adam any less frustrated with the play from the running backs this past week.

Looking ahead to the Monday Night Football game against the Minnesota Vikings, Seattle faces a team in a similar mold of the last two football teams. The difference is that the Vikings have far superior weapons on offense with Dalvin Cook, Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen. Seattle will be in their modified color rush jerseys which are reminiscent of the 2009 jerseys the Seahawks only wore once. Plus, Adam shares his concerns as well as his joy regarding the Rams getting thrashed in their color rush jerseys.

We close out the show with a do better to the 49ers and their fans who might have to experience some inclement weather for a change in their game against the Ravens. While Better At Life carriers on the 49ers theme for some good causes that Richard Sherman has been a part of during the holiday season.

273: Playing with 'juice' vs playing with Carson Wentz, previewing Seahawks vs Eagles Nov 22, 2019

It's been two years since the Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl and many of us still have the feeling that they're a good team. The team continues to have a stacked roster. But then you look at the record of the Eagles and some of their losses as they sit at 5-5 on the season and you can't help but wonder what the issue is. How could a team that beat the 8-2 Packers lose to a Falcons team that only won a single game going into their bye week?

The answer: juice. It's something we see from the Seahawks in how they play for one another and it's something that you don't get a sense of when watching the Eagles in those down weeks. We talk about how Philadelphia could be working through some of the same issues as the Seahawks faced after their Super Bowl, but it was a decision at the quarterback spot that could have impacted the team. So how does one predict what could happen in a game against a team that has the ability to be very good or very bad.

Brandan calls out Google in the Do Better segment and Adam has something for everyone on either side of the Colin Kaepernick workout. Lamar Jackson is leading the Pro Bowl vote and deserves a Better at Life nod and we close out the show with a Better at Life for the Flock for their help in donating half a ton of turkey to families in need on Thanksgiving.

272: Three is the overtime charm for the Seahawks, the return of Pete Prisco Nov 16, 2019

The Seahawks go into overtime for a second straight week and it didn't have to be that way. The Seahawks offense had a chance to draw the game down to a final field goal in regulation, and that was after multiple plays went the 49ers way that kept the game from being a Seattle landslide. Once again, it was a slow start on offense for Seattle as they didn't score on offense until the second half and needed a short field to do it on multiple occasions. The 49ers defense showed up, but so did the Seahawks and Jadeveon Clowney.

Adam is back from his long road trip and in his usual studio and saw a series of play calling that he enjoyed much more than what he saw against the Tampa Bay Bucs. We try and get to all of the biggest moments of the game, from huge plays by the 49ers to strip DK Metcalf, the interceptions or missed interceptions that could have sealed the game, and Russell Wilson who made the play in the end to set up Jason Myers for the game-winning score.

Following the game, Pete Prisco gave us some material for a return to Prisco's World as he makes some head scratching moves in his weekly power rankings. We talk about how the Rams may be in serious trouble now in the division after losing on the road to the Steelers, and a 49ers fan emailed in before the game to give his prediction for the Monday Night Football outcome.

The second half of the show discusses the shift from next Sunday's prime time game to an early morning start as the NFL moves the Packers and Niners into the spot Seattle previously held. A big welcome to our newest members of the flock from getintheflock.com and seahawkerspodcast.com/support.

271: Sit back and continue to enjoy the Russell Wilson show Nov 09, 2019

There were some things to like in last Sunday's victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as Russell Wilson notched is fourth "stat" of this season. He's never had more than four during the regular season in his career, so with the Seahawks going into a really touch stretch in their final seven weeks of the schedule, the expectation is that he should be able to reach his personal best.

There were also some things not to like about the last game. Jason Myers missed three kicks, the defense had a hard time stopping a quarterback who may be in his last year with the team, and Adam took issue with how the game was called in certain situations. Two guys you can't be mad at after this game were Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf. In the win, Metcalf had the fourth best game of any Seahawks rookie receiver, behind only Brian Blades, Doug Baldwin and Steve Largent. There's still a chance for him to improve his position and continue to lead all NFL rookie receivers.

Looking ahead to the matchup with the 49ers, Russell Wilson is facing one of the best defensive fronts in the NFL and a group of corners who are playing well against the pass. Considering how the 49ers have been playing, the guys address if this feels like a must-win game if Seattle wants to finish on top of the NFC West.

Adam is still on travel and dialing in on the hotel phone and we get to hear of an encounter on Bourbon Street that led to Adam taking a bottle to the face. Brandan takes issue with an NFL Network graphic highlighting the MVP candidates. Better at life honors go out to a study that called out his least favorite NBA team and Brandan has a pro tip for Veteran's Day on Monday.

270: The Seahawks defense has a YAC problem, but Coach Carroll prefers other base defense stats Nov 01, 2019

This week we're talking Seahawks football as Adam dials in during his drive across Nebraska to discuss the Seahawks 27-20 win over the Falcons. But even in victory, there were questions that came up about how far the Seattle defense can carry this team as it's currently operating. Coach Carroll, in his weekly press conference, talked about how the team his ranking high on stopping opponents on third down. Seattle is also among the top teams in the league when it comes to holding teams to field goals or no points inside the red zone.

However, one of the stats that jumps off the page is the number of yards after the catch (YAC) the Seahawks are giving up and which players the opposing pass catchers appear to be targeting most. So does this test the mantra the show has stuck with consistently that yards don't matter? Thanks to Ron Evans from the How Bizarre podcast for helping support our reminder with a show jingle.

We also look ahead to the Sunday matchup with the Bucs and if quarterback Jameis Winston will continue turning the ball over especially considering how turnover prone Seattle has been in its two losses at home.

Thanks to associate producer Flocktimus Prime for his lyrical stylings with a Tom Petty parody tune that calls out anyone who isn't part of the podcast flock. And thanks to Montana and Nebraska for being states that give us a reason to call them out in the do better segment. Better at life honors go to LeBron James and to the Seahawks linebacker tandem for reaching a notable milestone.

269: Seahawks trade for safety help, Russell can build on his bounce-back win stat vs Falcons Oct 24, 2019

With the NFL Trade deadline still a few days away, the Seahawks have made a trade with the Detroit Lions to bring in Quandre Diggs to help with the struggling safety group. Adam and Brandan evaluate the trade as well as how the roster is currently constructed on defense. Detroit Lions fans appear to be upset about the trade and they've found one of the better online reactions to play on the show.

Looking back to the Ravens game, Adam points out the turning point where things really started to go downhill for the Seahawks and the moment wasn't the Russell Wilson interception (which may have taken Russ out of the MVP discussion now that he's no longer perfect on the season). One thing Wilson is - one of the best at coming back and getting a win the week after taking a loss. But it's possible, based on what we've seen from the team previously, is that this could be another frustrating victory.

In the second half of the show, we welcome some new members of the flock, read some email that came in from the past week and discuss a potential trade target for the defensive line. Do better call outs go to a high school coach who lost his job over some serious integrity issues, and to the Jets for whining about Darnold's audio that was broadcast during the game. Better at life honors go to Shaq for his help given to an Atlanta family and to John Schneider for his latest trade

268: Russell Wilson has Tom Brady in his sights, Earl Thomas returns, and Prisco's World's collide Oct 17, 2019

After another outstanding performance by Russell Wilson on Sunday, we take some time kicking off this week's episode with a look at some of the milestones that Russ has reached so far and one on the horizon that Tom Brady has held for about 10 years. We also look at one of the position groups that is playing at a high level that maybe didn't have the highest expectations coming into the 2019 season. And looking back at the Browns game, we highlight two of the top plays that should make the year-end highlight reel.

Since it seems as though everyone wants to point fingers at the officials, we find a list from a Browns fan who details his biggest officiating complaints and we go down the list on the ones we agree and disagree with. Moving beyond that we look ahead to the Sunday matchup with the Baltimore Ravens and discuss Earl Thomas and the move we probably won't see from Pete Carroll when he sees ET3 back at CenturyLink for the first time.

This episode may mark the final time that we visit Prisco's World, because now the lines are blurring of whether or not we're living in his world or he's living in ours. We hear from little mch, and Adam asks the question of what it might take to get Von Miller on the Seahawks. In the Do Better segment Adam goes after People Magazine, and Brandan goes after a new term that's getting a lot of attention based on the poor officiating. Better at life honors go to the Rams general manager for continuing to make bad moves and to the Seattle Dragons for picking up two former Seahawks receivers who were fan favorites.

Russell Wilson's growing list of accomplishments (1:34)
Wide receiver group has been impressive (4:15)

267: Seahawks vs. Browns - Ride or die. Ride or die. Oct 14, 2019

Through six weeks of the season, the Seahawks are now 5-1 and have as many wins as the San Francisco 49ers who are leading the division after their win on Sunday over the Rams. But is it starting to feel like Russell Wilson and Chris Carson are Brian and Dom from Fast and Furious? If these are the two guys we're going to ride or die with this season, we're happy to be on board, but at some point it would be nice to see some pressure from the defensive line. Is that something we'll be able to see with the return of Jarran Reed?

The defense was making plays in terms of turnovers in this game. The Seahawks defense needed three interceptions, one forced fumble and a goal line stand to hold the Browns to 28 points. On top of that they needed Wilson and Carson to be the dominant duo we've come to expect this season. Russell adds two more touchdowns through the air, while he and Carson share their pair of rushing TDs.

Looking over at the Rams loss to the 49ers. We take a peek at San Francisco's schedule over their final 11 games of the season. Could the Seahawks face a 8-0 49ers team in Week 10? And although the Rams are reeling after a three-game losing streak, the next three games look pretty favorable. Let's see if our Seahawks can continue to keep pace and ultimately take the lead in the NFC West.

266: Russell Wilson emerges as MVP candidate, win at Cleveland would match Seahawks best road start Oct 10, 2019

Nearly a week after the Seahawks game, Brandan and Adam help re-live some of the top moments from the game by pulling up the Steve Raible highlights. Will Dissly and DK Metcalf had two of the longest catches on the day, while Tyler Lockett and Tedrick Thompson competed for who had the most spectacular catch.

In previewing the upcoming game against the Cleveland Browns, we take a look at the pass rushers and how the Seahawks are going from a defensive line full of players who can cause the Seahawks problems to one or two players who are disruptive on the Browns defensive line. The Browns secondary has been struggling with injury issues, but could get two of their young players back this week. On the offensive side of the ball, the Seahawks need to stop the run to have success and just how poorly has Mayfield performed while under pressure?

After the break, we look at some of the history between the Seahawks and Browns and how the Seahawks could match a road record that goes all the way back to 1980 with a win in Cleveland on Sunday. This week's 'Do Better' segment features Ziggy Ansah and a variety of backup options that were available to the Steelers on Sunday instead of a motorized cart. We close the show by honoring the Seahawks general manager as well as NFL analyst David Carr for appropriately vaulting Russell Wilson to the appropriate spot in his offensive player rankings.

265: Clowney has his first big moment vs Arizona, Seahawks efforts in the red zone are key vs Rams Oct 03, 2019

The Seahawks finish the month of September at 3-1 with Sunday's victory over the Arizona Cardinals. They earn their first win over an NFC West rival and now they have the chance to do the same thing on a short week against the Los Angeles Rams. The guys preview the matchup against these hated rivals and Adam explains how a win here goes a long way to shifting the balance of power back toward the Seahawks in the division.

Before we get to the Rams discussion, Adam discovers what he has learned about the different running styles between Chris Carson and Rashaad Penny and how Carson maintains his balance while taking big hits. Jadeveon Clowney has his first signature moment as a member of the Seahawks in the win against Arizona. Also, the Seahawks have two players among the leaders in end zone targets. However, only one of those players has multiple touchdown conversions.

With the Rams coming to town, it looks like they've taken a step back from previous seasons in some respects, but can Pete Carroll finally figure out how he wants to defend the Rams offense after being so close last season. The biggest concerns are the Rams defensive line as well as their wide receiving corps, though Shaquill Griffin seems to be taking a big step toward being a star.

We cut the show a bit short this week as the Cardinals are called out to do better and the Seahawks tight end from Montana earns a nod in Better at Life for his unselfish touchdown celebration on Sunday.

Topics include:

Seahawks vs Cardinals as a quick summary (1:13)
Adam explains the different run styles between Carson and Penny (4:20)
What to expect from the Seahawks run game versus the Rams (5:56)
Two Seahawks among NFL leaders in red zone targets (8:21)

264: Every aggressive Seahawks play call backfires, yet another reminder that yards don’t matter Sep 27, 2019

As Seahawks fans are coping with the first September loss at home in the Pete Carroll era, Adam and Brandan are looking for who to blame. When the opposing team scores in every phase of the game and you need more than one hand to count some of the questionable coaching moves in the game, the answer is clear. But a majority of those coaching calls came down to playing an aggressive style of football. Except for a decision to not call timeout at the end of the first half and a decision to not go for a two-point conversion late in the game. Those calls are still a bit tough to explain.

Luke Willson is back on the team for the Seahawks and says that Techno Thursday will return, but Bobby Wagner may be the wet blanket that keeps that as something of the past. Russell Wilson threw for more than 400 yards and demonstrated once again how yards don't matter. The guys preview Sunday's matchup with the Cardinals and what to expect from Arizona's offense through the first few games. In the closing segments of the show, Brandan calls out a Redskins employee in charge of Gatorade and Adam says the NFL went too far by banning pyrotechnics. Better at life nods go to a young Seahawks fan who made a trip out to Seattle and to Nelson Agholor for inviting a critical fan to an upcoming game.

263: Jalen Ramsey trade intrigue, Saints without Brees still a threat for 2-0 Seahawks Sep 19, 2019

After a 28-26 victory on Sunday, Russell Wilson, for just the second time in his career, is taking the a 2-0 Seahawks team into Week 3 of the NFL season. On top of that, Pete Carroll and the Seahawks are 15-0 at home in September and they're coming back home to take on the New Orleans Saints. Adam and Brandan talk about the Wilson's dominant performance against the Steelers and why Seahawks fans can likely expect another close game even though the Saints will be without future Hall of Fame quarterback Drew Brees.

As part of the NFL's 100th season, the Seahawks are taking votes for the top play in the history of the team. Is the number one spot an easy decision? According to the early returns, there are two plays that are dominating the votes. Closing out the show, Adam has words for a Canadian who tried to fight a grizzly bear and Brandan joins a former Seahawks running back in his frustration over throwback jerseys. Adam honors a team of scientists who came up with an breakthrough idea for a lunar elevator. Brandan highlights a college football fan's desire for beer money that turned into an amazing fundraiser for kids.

262: DK Metcalf's record performance vs Cincinnati and how a road win is key to a Super Bowl victory Sep 14, 2019

With less than 36 hours before a Week 2 matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers, have Seahawks fans had enough time to cool off after a narrow victory over the Cincinnati Bengals? There were some frustrating moments in this game, but the team was able to pull out the win and the defense was able to hold their opponent to just three points in the second half. Seahawks fans can be excited that DK Metcalf lived up to the hype by breaking a record held by the greatest wide receiver in Seahawks history.

The Steelers are coming off an embarrassing loss to New England, and historically that was been bad news for their opponents when they play at home the following week. What could the Seahawks have learned from that performance against the Patriots both in terms of attacking the Steelers defense and the key to slowing down Big Ben early in this game.

261: Seahawks trade for Jadeveon Clowney to kick off the season and no 2019 draft pick gets cut Sep 05, 2019

The 2019 NFL season has officially arrived and the Seahawks started with a huge move and building up what looked like one of their biggest weaknesses in the preseason. Jadeveon Clowney is now a member of the Seahawks and eventually Adam will learn how to pronounce his name. Brandan and Adam take a look at the surprises of the 53-man man roster and give credit to the Seahawks general manager John Schneider for making some significant moves to start the season, but also landing all of his 2019 draft picks.

260: Hype around possible Jadeveon Clowney trade to the Seahawks, preseason week 3 frustrations Aug 29, 2019

With the Seahawks pass rush looking like a potential weakness for the team, this week's show focuses on the hype around a possible trade for Jadeveon Clowney and why it makes a lot of sense for the team.

259: Seahawks show improved o-line play in loss to Vikings, problems with secondary and injuries Aug 22, 2019

The Seattle Seahawks lost 25-19 against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 2 of the preseason game on Sunday. Despite coming out on the losing end, Adam talks about how he views it as a win when considering how fans got to see Russell Wilson with time behind his offensive line. Even Ethan Pocic, the least experienced of the offensive lineman, showed improvement over last season. While Wilson played only a limited number of series before handing the ball to Paxton Lynch, the vanilla style of preseason play was far less tasty with the former first round pick at the helm.

Poona Ford was a bright spot on the defensive line. Chris Carson looked like his dominant self and contrasted to the hesitation seen as Rashaad Penny had trouble getting going behind the second team offensive line. Hopefully, we see what Penny can do behind the starters when the Seahawks play the Chargers on Saturday. The Seahawks corners were not dominant versus one of the top receiving tandems in the league, but it did give Coach Carroll a chance to learn what to consider when throwing a challenge flag on a non-call of offensive pass interference. The guys talk through the new ability to challenge calls through the lens of a past non-call by officials.

For those looking to join our annual pickem league, and haven't already, you can go to seahawkerspodcast.com/pickem, use the League ID of 18882 and entry code of shp12. Hopefully someone has a contact with Yahoo, because the issue of having to combine groups now could end up being a challenge.

To close out the show we find out that the Rams now have a possible acronym for their top corners. Instead of LOB, they can be the POMCB. Kirk Cousins' complaints about his center's sweaty backside have been voiced and Adam suggests possible testing of SAW at the combine to help avoid this issue in the future. Tune in to learn about all these new acronyms. Better at life honors go to the developers of a new solar powered aircraft and to a long-time member of the Flock for his latest email and a very helpful chapter in the book he shared with Adam and Brandan.

258: Cutting down the Vikings and other NFC opponents, revisiting the six phases of football Aug 16, 2019

The Seahawks face off against the Vikings on Saturday and are coming off their annual preseason win over the Broncos (though they didn't play them last year until the regular season). We discuss some of the things that stood out from the Broncos game and how that performance by Paxton Lynch didn't excited Adam at all about the potential for solidifying the backup spot behind Russell Wilson.

Talking about the Vikings gets Adam to the point of cutting down just about every other NFC team that he can think of who might be considered contenders. Brandan talks about the Zeke Elliott contract situation and how this could be a preview of what to expect for a running back like Chris Carson who could be forced into a similar situation because running backs have to try and get paid before they start to approach 30 years old.

Thanks to Kofi for posting a great video that is best to be watched and not listened to, because he adds to the production value, check it out on YouTube here:

Sea Hawkers Podcast, Top 5 Adam Emmert Rants

We talk about where we've been over the past week, how to get into the pick'em league this year, and after welcoming some new members of the flock we talk about what to expect from the show this season with Adam's increased in-season workload. Russell Wilson gets a do better nod for his latest hairstyle in a recent video as Adam goes after the hotel he's in for not having a functioning elevator. Adam gives some positive recognition to one of the first places he worked in his current profession and Brandan honors Russell Wilson to close out the show for his latest investment into the Seattle sports scene.

257: 2019 Season Expectations Aug 02, 2019

Officially kicking off the 2019 season of the podcast with our annual "season expectations" show. Adam and Brandan talk about where they have questions and concerns and what to expect from the team this year in terms of play calling on offense and, even with some big departures, why the defense will continue to be in the top half of the league for points allowed.

One thing that is much different from past seasons is that there are more concerns on defense than the offense, particularly because the offensive line seems to be solidified and relatively unchanged from the previous year. Fans can also expect the coordinator to have a better feel for the offense, something it took Brian Schottenheimer time to get a feel for last season.

On defense, Adam says that although the defensive line has some of the bigger questions with injuries and suspensions, he's more concerned about the defensive backs. Brandan is concerned about where the turnovers are going to come from this season, because that was one of the biggest reasons for the team's success on that side of the ball last year.

In the second half (final third?) of the show the guys have a solution for the continued complaint surrounding the microphones at the preseason press conferences. We also talk about the status of Michael Kendricks going into the season. Do better nods go to "the Skynet of bars" and to Mina Kimes for going to the dark side of the force for at least the preseason. Better at life honors go to a North Koreans soldier who Shawshank-ed his way to South Korea and to Bobby Wagner for his new deal keeping him in Seattle through 2022.

256: Los Angeles Rams - Know Your Rival, with James and Bear of the Rams Podcast Jul 25, 2019

There's still time left to nominate the Sea Hawkers Podcast in the Sports category of the 14th Annual Podcast Awards. Go to podcastawards.com to register and submit for our show to compete as the top sports podcast.

As the Seahawks open up training camp for 2019, we're finishing up the offseason Know Your Rival series with last year's winner of the NFC West, the Los Angeles Rams. Adam is back to provide his commentary on a team that we may have more sports hate for than any other franchise. James and Bear from the Rams Podcast and Locked on Rams join the show to break down the key departures and additions on defense that add years of experience to a team that struggled against the run in 2018.

Of course one of the biggest questions this year is how running back Todd Gurley will respond after it was revealed that he has a knee injury that could become a big issue for the team if he's not able to maintain his health. Also, Jared Goff is in the fourth year of his contract, and we just watched Carson Wentz get a deal from the Eagles. How do Rams fans feel about paying Goff moving forward?

To close out the show, a team of researchers identified the worst fan base in the NFL according to their scientific methods, which earn them a spot as a research team that is better at life than Skip Bayless.

255: San Francisco 49ers - Know Your Rival, with Oscar of the Better Rivals Podcast Jul 12, 2019

**Note: It's that time of year when you can nominate the Sea Hawkers Podcast in the Sports category of the 14th Annual Podcast Awards. Go to podcastawards.com to register and submit for our show to compete as the top sports podcast.

Continuing our Know Your Rival series, this week we discuss the third place team from the NFC West in 2018. The San Francisco 49ers are hoping for a full season out of their starting quarterback this year after losing him early in the season due to an injury. Oscar of the Better Rivals podcast joins us to let us know that Handsome Jimmy will be expected to run out of bounds this year.

We start by taking a look at the defense, and the 49ers have a clear strength on their defensive line with five first round picks including the number two overall pick in 2019. We discuss whether it will be enough to make up for some of the deficiencies in the secondary and where some of the biggest concerns are when it comes to San Francisco's defense.

Special teams also has a number of questions considering their franchise kicker is holding out and we get Oscar's take on selecting a punter in the fourth round of the draft. To top it all off, their long snapper got popped for PED use!

On offense, they looked for more help at wide receiver early on in the draft as well as through free agency. The have a strong group of running backs and a competent offensive line. Will that line be able to keep Jimmy healthy enough for a full season and will the young receivers develop into a solid unit. We get Oscar's take on all of the new faces.

After backing up their talk (and also my talk last week) the U.S. Women are World Cup Champions and earn the Better at Life honors on this week's show.

254: Arizona Cardinals - Know Your Rival, with Bo Brack of Locked on Cardinals Jul 04, 2019

An annual tradition for the show kicks off this week as we bring on fellow podcasters from rival NFC West teams in the month of July. This year we kick things off with the team that finished at the bottom of the division, but a team that may have the most intriguing offseason. Bo Brack of the Locked on Cardinals podcast joins the show to talk about a team that had made a lot of moves this offseason.

Not only have they made moves in free agency, but they had the first overall draft pick with Kyler Murray. With 2018 Seahawks backup quarterback Brett Hundley as the only other QB seemingly providing competition at the spot in Arizona this year, it looks as though Murray is a lock to be the Week 1 starter. Brandan and Bo talk about any concerns about making sure Murray has a more veteran presence to try and overcome to ensure he really earns that starting spot.

With Patrick Peterson suspended for the first six games of the season, including the first matchup with the Seahawks in week 4, it looks as though former Huskies corner Byron Murphy could be lining up as a starter. Bo explains why the schedule lines up favorably for the second round pick to ease his way into the starting role.

After breaking down each position, the guys gets into what really matters, ranking the most handsome coaches in the NFC West. Kingsbury joins a division with Carroll, Shanahan and McVay, which clearly makes the West a lock for the best looking group of head coaches in the league. We also make Bo predict the finishing order for each of the teams in the NFC West.

Lastly, we recognize former Seahawks owner Ken Behring who passed away this week at the age of 91. After he sold the team to Paul Allen, Behring went on to be involved with some philanthropic endeavors that earn him Better at Life honors for this week.

253: The too early 53-man Seahawks roster prediction Jun 24, 2019

This week is a crossover episode with The Seahawks Nest podcast as co-host Nathan joins this show to break down the Seattle Times' early look at a potential 53-man roster. There isn't much controversy apart from wondering why George Fant isn't listed among the tight ends and trying to decide which backups in different position groups could be slotted to play quarterback behind Russell Wilson.

One of the marks of a solid roster is seeing players who are potential cuts who have spent significant time with the team or other veterans who could be overtaken on the roster by some of the younger players. The guys talk about which areas of the roster appear to present the most strength with that regard and which part of the roster seems to have the least depth.

Last week's show looked at some of the negative aspects of each of the rookies on the roster, and this week we talk about the rookies that Nathan is most excited about, both in the short term and long term. We also look at Pete Prisco's top 100 for this year. With only two Seahawks players making the list, who got snubbed and who could we expect to see jumping onto the list next season.

In second segment of the show, the guys look at the NFL's rule change for pass interference in the 2019 season and close the show with a segment from The Seahawks Nest as Nathan and Brandan talk about some of their favorite movie crossovers.

252: Why every 2019 Seahawks draft pick is a bust Jun 13, 2019

This week we kick off the show with some of the discussions coming out of OTAs and mini camp interviews. Rashaad Penny talked about having to learn how to be a professional and several players have talked about changes they've made in the offseason. The guys talk about what some of the differences could be from the professional game to the college game and why players like Shaquille Griffin are talking about changing the way they eat.

We're still waiting for Bobby Wagner to get paid, and while Carson Wentz gets his big pay from the Eagles, the guys talk about what that might mean for Jared Goff and the Rams. Also, with the Seahawks having nearly $30 million in cap space are they to a point where fans should be concerned that new ownership is less willing to spend up to the salary cap?

Not all of the rookies are going to be amazing, so we're going to take some time this week to point out why each one of the Seahawks draft picks could end up being a bust. From L.J. Collier's lack of knees that bend to John Ursua allowing the football to beat him up, we point out what scouts have said as to why each player could fail in the NFL.

Ultimately, we talk about which Seahawks rookie will be the biggest disappointment and that is most likely going to fall on the shoulders of DK Metcalf. Not because he's legitimately going to be bad, but because the expectations are so high for him that it's unlikely for him to get the kind of stats that people seem to be expecting from him.

Adam talks about how he's now dealing with life with smart speakers his house, as he has a Do Better to offer this week and Brandan thanks the past and current Seahawks players who showed up to the Sea Hawkers Annual Banquet last weekend with Better at Life honors this week.

251: Nesby Glasgow, former Seattle Seahawks safety Jun 03, 2019

Nesby Glasgow, former Seattle Seahawks safety from 1988 to 1992 returns to the show and talks about his 14 year NFL career that came after a college career with the Washington Huskies and ended back in Seattle. As a 14 year NFL veteran who played until he was 35, we talk about the surprise of the offseason that Doug Baldwin is leaving the game at a relatively young age.

We start the show by talking about his experience with the NFL draft and how an injury in the Senior Bowl dropped him down into the 8th round of the 1979 NFL Draft. With college players opting not to play in certain games leading up to the draft, Glasgow offers his perspective on the particular game he would be sure not to miss out on.

Glasgow played for former Seahawks head coach Chuck Knox, who passed away last offseason, and he talks about how Knox was the greatest coach he played for and shares a story about how Coach Knox decided to celebrate after one of the team's big wins. He also shares a story about how the team got in the head of Bo Jackson in the final game of the 1988 season that earned the team its first AFC West Division title. Seattle went on to lose to the Bengals in the playoffs who represented the AFC in the Super Bowl that year against Joe Montana and the San Francisco 49ers.

Concussions in the NFL continue to be a concern, and a particular concern to Glasgow who is now 62 years old, he says some recent changes to the offseason could actually be detrimental to current NFL players. As we reach a middle point of the offseason, Glasgow talked about his preparation and how he feels it set him apart from others in the NFL.

250: Bobby Wagner's contract status and the first week of Seahawks OTAs May 25, 2019

The 2019 season feels like it's just starting to kick off as the entire team gets together for their first week of organized team activities (OTAs). The status of Bobby Wagner's contract seemed to be the main concern as well as how he might handle the negotiations without the help of an agent. In the case of Wagner, it would seem like the negotiations should be relatively easy considering he's the top player in the entire NFL at his position.

The biggest concern for the team going into this upcoming season seems to be at defensive line and Gerald McCoy sounds as though the Seahawks aren't on his list of teams to visit now that he's a free agent. Tampa Bay replaces him with the former Rams interior defender, and McCoy is going to Cleveland and Baltimore for visits. It does sound like the Seahawks are considering some other options to help with their pass rush, and one player is already on the team.

With a shorter show this week, Adam calls out any graduation prior to high school and Brandan thanks a writer for the Athletic for pointing out an amazing factoid with regard to Doug Baldwin's personal life.

249: Doug Baldwin retirement denial, Seahawks sign Ziggy Ansah May 14, 2019

The Seahawks made a transaction this week that hit a lot of Seahawks fans hard. Doug Baldwin, along with Kam Chancellor, were released from the team with a failed physical designation. The guys talk about what Baldwin meant for the Seahawks in his career and how he'll be missed for a little while, but Adam seems to think he's not gone for good. It could be that both Brandan and Adam are in Baldwin retirement denial.

There was some good news, however, as Seahawks free agency appeared to start this week with Ziggy Ansah being signed to the team along with another veteran defensive lineman Al Woods. Ansah is a former Pro Bowl player who has fought through some injuries the past few seasons and let go by the Lions after suffering an injury during the season he played under the franchise tag.

Seattle may have even found their new third string quarterback with Geno Smith coming in for a visit this week amidst reports that he is expected to sign with the team.

Thanks to DCH and to Dustin this week along with other thank yous this week. Adam is on travel, so we get to hear about his latest airline misadventures in the Do Better segment along with a Miami Dolphins running back who is leading the NFL in an offseason stat that is going to be tough to break. Better at life honors this week go to a group from Adam's airline misadventures and to, now a former Seahawks receiver, Doug Baldwin.

248: The Seattle Seahawks 2019 Draft Class May 04, 2019

Adam Emmert and Brandan Schulze take a look at the Seahawks 2019 Draft Class and all 11 picks from General Manager John Schneider and Head Coach Pete Carroll. With about a week to go before the draft, the Seahawks had a franchise low four picks, by the time the day was complete they were just one pick short of having the most selections of the entire draft (the Vikings had 12).

The guys talk about which picks they're most excited about, which ones might be the most likely to surprise us, and listen in to some of the best phone calls from the first couple days of the draft. While there were some obvious themes to the draft, Adam points to one that is a little more under the radar, but when you hear some of the interviews with the players, it becomes pretty clear that the Seahawks were looking beyond what they saw on the field from their players.

After looking at Seattle's draft, Adam talks about the quarterbacks from the draft as part of his annual breakdown of who he thinks will succeed in the NFL. Tune in to find out who is behind a portable power station that needs to do better, along with the rankings that say the Seahawks didn't get enough "value" in the 2019 draft. Better at life honors this week go out to the Arizona Cardinals as the Seahawks GM for the magic that they both made during draft season.

2019 Seahawks Draft Recap with the Nach On Sports May 03, 2019

Note: Adam and Brandan are coming back to the Sea Hawkers Podcast feed full time with new episode out in the next day or so. In the meantime, Brandan joined Anthony on the Nach On Sports this week to recap the Seahawks draft, talk about the draft grades, and project who the most likely starters are out of the group of 11 picks from 2019.

Nach on Sports: Reaction to the Seahawks first and second round picks Apr 27, 2019

Brandan joined Anthony with the Nach on Sports to talk about the Seahawks draft through the first and second round. While we were on the air live, Seattle traded with the Patriots into the last spot in the second round for the DK Metcalf pick. Check out the live reaction! Plus, we take a look at the Seahawks 2019 schedule.

247: The Frank Clark trade and how it impacts the Seahawks in the 2019 NFL Draft Apr 25, 2019

With only four selections going into the 2019 NFL Draft and looking at the prospect of paying defensive end Frank Clark upwards of $20 million per year, the Seattle Seahawks made a move this week. It's a move that increases the number of picks in 2019 to five, the add a second round pick in 2020, and they save about $17 million against the salary cap by making the move.

But it creates a hole that Seattle will need to fill either through the draft or free agency. Brandan Schulze and Clinton Bonner talk about the trade, how it impacts the draft, and which players in free agency that Seattle could get to fill behind Clark.

Having two draft picks at the end of the first round gives them options now to either stay put with the 21st pick overall or move back and compile picks in the second and third rounds where there is a lot of depth to help fill positions of need for Seattle.

246: The Seahawks break even on the 2019 Schedule Apr 23, 2019

In what has become an annual tradition, Dave Bloomquist (aka Hong Kong Hawk) joins the show to break down the Seahawks 2019 schedule in a unique way. In past seasons, Dave has pointed out how the Seahawks often get dealt a tough hand by giving Seattle's opponents more rest, particularly in big games leading up to home games in Seattle. This year, the Seahawks actually break even overall.

Even though the story is that it's better than usual, there are some rough parts of the schedule. But with five prime time games, the fact that the Seahawks start the season off at home, and they get a bye in Week 11, even Dave can't find a lot to be mad about this season.

In addition to breaking down the Seahawks schedule, Dave tells us why the Green Bay Packers got, by far, the worst schedule in the league and which one of the NFC West division rivals was gifted one of the top 3 overall schedules.

Nach on Sports: Russell Wilson's contract extension and details Apr 17, 2019

This was a fun conversation! Unfortunately, it started off on the wrong foot with me sending a jolt of static electricity into the system via the headphone jack, which knocked out the computer and the phone lines right in the middle of Anthony's previous interview, but we turned it into nearly a half hour of Seahawks talk with the Russell Wilson contract, my draft crush going into next week and a look at the prime time games I'd like to see on the schedule.

245: The NFL's Annual League Meeting, rule changes, free agency and how to overhaul a middling franchise Apr 02, 2019

Michael-Shawn Dugar of the Athletic and the Seahawks Man 2 Man Podcast joins the show this week to talk about the NFL's Annual League Meeting down in Arizona and his encounter with coach Pete Carroll who is challenging the popular opinion of the most important meal of the day. Brandan and Mike talk about the departure of Earl Thomas and how the best move the Seahawks made was to stay away from paying high-priced free agents.

A couple big takeaways from the meetings in Arizona is just how reactionary the league continues to be when it comes to changing the rules. Pass interference is now reviewable and we may see a change down the road to how playoff games are handled in overtime after Tom Brady quickly scored on the Chiefs to send New England to another Super Bowl.

Sam Marcoux, co-host of the Perfectville Podcast, jumps on later in the show to talk about his feelings on the change to make pass interference calls reviewable. He clearly still holds a grudge against Doug Baldwin after the Seahawks beat Miami back in 2016. What will be some of the consequences of the rule change? The guys talk about expectations of increased game time, how coaches will save their challenges specifically for pass interference calls, and maybe some increases in seeing offensive pass interference calls. The hope of course is that the implementation results in making sure the calls on the field are correct.

While we don't often talk about the Dolphins on the show, Miami can show Seahawks fans just how difficult it can be to replace a franchise quarterback. Ryan Tannehill is now out and at least Dolphins fans are starting to see a plan in place for having a tough year or two with the potential that they can be this year's Cleveland Browns sometime in the near future.

Nach on Sports: Talking free agency and how the Seahawks will approach the NFL Draft Mar 18, 2019

Brandan joins Anthony on the Nach on Sports to talk about the latest moves by the Seahawks in free agency and to talk about the upcoming draft and how Seattle will approach the first round of the draft in April.

243: Day 4 of the NFL Combine (defensive backs) with Rob Staton, Seahawks Draft Blog Mar 05, 2019

Before discussing some better than expected performances, particularly at safety, a few news items jumped out in the news today as the Seahawks reportedly met with Kyler Murray at the combine. Rob Staton from seahawksdraftblog.com is back on the show to remind us why that was a smart move even with Russell Wilson locked in at quarterback. Wilson is going into his final year and Joel Corry said on KJR Monday that Russell's contract will need to start around $35 million per year. The Seahawks also announced that they've placed the franchise tag on Frank Clark ahead of Tuesday's deadline.

Jachai Polite reportedly did not interview well, but Rob thinks the reports could be based on Polite reaction following his talks with teams. However, scouts are calling him on bailing on the workouts and that could be what causes his stock to tumble a bit. There were a number of safeties that improved their stock in a class that was not expected to be as athletic as they proved to be on the final day of the NFL Scouting Combine.

There were three safeties that ran in the 4.3s or better. The fastest player of the weekend was a safety who ran 4.29. Juan Thornhill had an impressive 44-inch vertical to go along with his 4.4 speed. Rob says there's one safety to look at as a possible safety to cornerback convert, similar to Tre Flowers last year for Seattle and that's USC safety Marvell Tell. Taylor Rapp of Washington had an impressive day, topping the field in the short shuttle, a drill that measures short-area quickness.

Among the cornerbacks, there were five who tested very well and also fit the Seahawks profile: Mike Jackson, Miami; Isaiah Johnson, Houston; Lonnie Johnson, Kentucky; Justin Layne, Michigan State, and Ken Webster of Mississippi St. Of all those players, Rob says Lonnie Johnson would be the player most likely still around in the range that Seattle may be interested in taking a corner. The others could be going in the first two rounds of the draft.

Rob offers some final thoughts on the class as a whole and the guys discuss where Seattle may be most likely to go while trying to project 2-3 years out. One of our listeners on YouTube says Khalil Hodge is a Seahawks linebacker and Rob says there is a lot to like about him and could be a potential late-round prospect for Seattle.

242: NFL Combine Day 3 (DL, Edge, LB) with Rob Staton, Seahawks Draft Blog Mar 04, 2019

Some of the biggest names of the 2019 NFL Draft are on the defensive line and players like Rashan Gary, who called himself the best player in the draft, along with Nick Bosa and Quinnen Williams didn't disappoint on Day 3 of the NFL Scouting Combine. Their numbers simply proved they are indeed among the top names in this year's draft, all long gone before the Seahawks pick. Montez Sweat may have put his name up there in the elite with a blazing 4.41 performance at 260 pounds. Rob Staton of seahawksdraftblog.com joins the show to offer some reasons why he still may not go in the top 15 even with his impressive numbers.

Trysten Hill, a teammate of the Griffin twins at the University of Central Florida, showed his athleticism in the drills posting a 4.38 short shuttle, 35 inch vertical, 9-foot-7 broad jump and a 1.74 10-yard split as a 308 pound defensive lineman. Renell Wren, of Arizona State, was a player the Seahawks could be likely to consider along with Jerry Tillery of Notre Dame who had a nice performance at the combine.

Rob put the defensive linemen into his Trench Explosion Formula and came up with a player who joins the Miles Garrett club as the only other player above a 4.0. Ben Banogu will now be a player that Rob goes and looks a little more at his tape from TCU. Brian Burns of Florida State was another edge rusher that could be a possibility for the Seahawks toward the end of the first round who was among the top edge rushers in the 10-yard split. Rob talks about Justin Hollins of Oregon as a potential Day 3 option.

At linebacker, the Seahawks may be scrambling in free agency or working harder at re-signing K.J. Wright considering the lack of options in the draft class. Devin White of LSU will almost certainly be off the board early while the other potential first round pick, Devin Bush of Michigan could still be there. Rob previews the corners to watch on Monday, the final day of the combine, and adds three running backs from the first day of the combine who fit the Seahawks profile.

241: Day 2 of the NFL Combine with Rob Staton, Seahawks Draft Blog Mar 03, 2019

Before the workouts were underway in Indianapolis, Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports tweeted out that Frank Clark and the Seahawks may be closing in on a deal in advance of the deadline to use the franchise tag. The Kansas City Chiefs recently announced that they would be tagging Dee Ford and Seattle has been consistent in saying that Clark won't be going to free agency. With the latest news and the press conference from John Schneider where he pointed out that Seattle hasn't used the tag since 2010, it sounds as though the team may be close to a deal.

DK Metcalf stole the headlines away from Kyler Murray with his impressive performance at the combine running a 4.33 as a 6-foot-4 receiver. Rob points out that it's not the top time by a wideout as Parris Campbell from Ohio State may have improved his stock even more than Metcalf. The Seahawks are notorious for drafting speed at the position and we learned this class is loaded with speed. Considering some of the players who didn't run or weren't invited or allowed to work out at the combine, there could be a couple dozen players in that range for Seattle.

Noah Fant had an impressive day at the combine, but considering his skillset primarily as a pass catcher, Seattle is likely going to stay away from obtaining a pair of Fants. LSU tight end Foster Moreau could be a more likely player Seattle would consider as primarily a blocker and as a well-respected member of the Tigers team. Rob talks about Moreau wearing number 18 for the Tigers and the significance behind it.

Reports early on in the day were that several teams were of the mind that Arizona would be taking Murray with the first pick overall. Is it a smokescreen to try and get another team to move up to the first spot overall? As a Seahawks fan, which player would you rather see with the Cardinals Week 1, Rosen or Murray? That answer should tell you the direction that the Cardinals should choose to go.

240: NFL Combine Day 1 with Rob Staton, Seahawks Draft Blog Mar 02, 2019

The 2019 NFL Combine kicked off this week and Rob Staton from Seahawks Draft Blog is back on the show to talk about the first day of action. Earlier in the week, some big news for the team was announced when word came out that the Seahawks would not be up for sale in the near future. Jody Allen, sister of Paul Allen, is the chair of the Paul Allen Trust and that it's in place as the ownership structure. John Schneider and Pete Carroll had their meetings with the press. We didn't get much in terms of draft news, but we did hear that Frank Clark will not be a free agent and that Earl Thomas certainly will.

The first position group to get going at the combine was the offensive line. Rob talks about how Andre Dillard, tackle from Washington State, was the stand-out player who likely secured a top 15 spot in the draft based on his performance. He continues to watch for the player who fit into his trench explosion formula (TEF) to look at some of the more athletic players among the lineman and came up with 8-9 potential draft picks who shined in the testing.

Justice Hill was the standout running back, topping the charts with a 4.4, as well as coming in first for the vertical and broad jump. Hill is undersized for what the Seahawks have looked for historically, but there were initially four names who the Seahawks would likely look at if they're available toward the end of the draft or as an undrafted free agent. Rob has updated his blog with three additional names, including Miles Sanders of Penn State.

The guys close the show with some names to watch for tomorrow and a couple of players the Seahawks have reportedly met with at the combine, including Washington quarterback Jake Browning.

239: NFL Combine preview with Rob Staton, Seahawks Draft Blog Feb 25, 2019

The 2019 NFL Combine is being held in Indianapolis this week, February 26 – March 4, 2019, with televised drills beginning on Friday. Rob Staton, of Seahawks Draft Blog, joins the show to talk about how the range of options for Seattle could be very diverse this year. Considering Russell Wilson's contract situation and Seattle's need to fill the backup role, he doesn't believe drafting a quarterback is off the table (12:18). Brandan and Rob talk about how well New England has done at drafting backups and turning many of those players into assets for players or more draft picks.

Depending on what happens with D.J. Fluker and J.R. Sweezy, Seattle could be in desperate need for additional offensive lineman. Rob talks about his formula for measuring an offensive lineman's explosiveness and how it used to be a marker for lineman the Seahawks would consider drafting (20:03). The Seahawks appear to be set at running back, but it's also interesting to point out that Seattle definitely has a type when it comes to who they want to select in the draft (32:17).

Seattle has three tight ends in Ed Dickson, Nick Vannett and Will Dissly, but could some uncertainty lead them to draft another tight end? Rob talks about one tight end who would provide outstanding value if he slides down the board in the first round (39:20). Wide receiver is another spot that Seattle could be looking to add to from the draft. It's a spot they have usually selected at least a player per year. It's also a position with one key stat to look for at the combine -- speed (44:19). Technique is also a critical component to success for receivers in the NFL, Rob talks about what he watches for in receiver drills to judge how well a player catches passes (51:56).

The Seahawks find themselves in need of a kicker again this offseason. Are there any of them worth considering in the draft this year (54:40).

The talent on the defensive line is strong this season. Rob talks about how watching defensive line drills are among his favorite to watch and who we should be watching (58:47). When the Seahawks have looked for edge rushers in the past, they have gone after players with a 10-yard split around 1.5 seconds. Linebacker could be another key position to watch depending on what happens in free agency, and Rob offers thoughts on players on the strong and weak-side spots (1:10:21).

Getting into the defensive backs, it seems like everyone throughout the NFL knows what a Seahawks-style corner looks like. But could their thinking shift toward filling behind Justin Coleman, as a player who breaks the mold for the body type they've looked at in the past (1:26:19). Seattle has depth at safety, but Rob talks about the notion if they truly need a star to come in behind Earl Thomas at that spot (1:31:51). Having someone with speed like Thomas has been very helpful, but the combination of speed and ability have been very elusive throughout the NFL.

Follow Rob Staton's work at seahawksdraftblog.com and on Twitter @robstaton. Expect to hear more audio with Rob as we get into the combine this weekend!

238: Could the Seahawks trade for Odell Beckham? The Rams Podcast and what went wrong in Super Bowl LIII Feb 18, 2019

How can the Seahawks improve in 2019? This last week, in one of Jay Glazer's latest articles on the Athletic, he was asked to make a bold prediction for the offseason. His answer was that Odell Beckham Jr. gets traded. It seems unlikely that the Giants would move on after OBJ signed a five-year $90 million contract to stay in New York just last year, but it doesn't stop the speculation of what kind of deal the Seahawks could make and what a trade package could look like.

James and Bear from the Rams Podcast join the show as winners of their bets with us this past season and join the show as losers to talk about what went wrong in the Super Bowl against the Patriots. Rams fans sound a lot like Seahawks fans after the season in bemoaning the team's ability to make in-game adjustments. The difference is that Seattle fans wanted to adjust to the pass much sooner while Rams fans were left wondering what if they looked toward the running game for success.

After announcing that we would be joining the Field Gulls podcast, it brought up some questions, so we explain how things will look over the offseason with both shows. Please subscribe to Field Gulls through any of these links:

We congratulate the pick'em winners for 2018 and bring on the league champion Jesper Sakko from Gothenburg, Sweden. Lastly, our better at life honors go to NFL Films for a timely production that featured the Rams head coach and pointed out his complete lack of spatial awareness.

237: Russell Wilson shows off Pro Bowl skills, Sunday's Super Bowl or a Sandra Bullock movie Feb 01, 2019

The Super Bowl is just hours away, and we're starting off the show with some important quarterback news. It's important because it may just show how lucky we are that Russell Wilson slipped to the third round and the Seahawks were able to take him. With the Pro Bowl this past weekend, Wilson dominated the NFL skills challenges.

One former Seahawks quarterback looks like he may get another chance in the AAF. For those who aren't familiar with that acronym, you're not alone. Maybe the marketing budget isn't quite to the level of the NFL's budget to promote Rams coach Sean McVay. Does that budget also include making sure the refs made the proper calls at the end of the NFC Championship or does that get it's own separate budget?

If you want things done fast and done well, it's not going to be cheap. So will the NFL do the right thing and pay the money it will take to get officiating above the level of scrutiny it has been taking since the championship weekend? In discussing the AFC game, at least we can agree that the overtime rules can stay as is. Another thing that is clear is how fortunate Seahawks fans have been during their three appearances in the NFC Championship.

Adam and Brandan look ahead to this weekend's game. Don't count out Genghis Tom even with a pair of outstanding defensive tackles. They go over some of the key differences between the defensive lines that the Patriots have lost to in the past. For those who don't care to watch the game (most of us), the guys talk about the Sandra Bullock movie bracket that we've been working through on the Facebook page the last couple weeks. It's down to the final four!

The Pro Bowl radio announcers could do much better to provide the theater of the mind to made the game more enjoyable than watching on television. A Pittsburgh TV station needs to do better when it comes to understanding the line for comedy vs journalism standards. Better at life honors go to Deshawn Watson for upgrading his childhood home for his mother and to Cooper Manning for helping to keep the Manning legacy alive with his son Arch Manning who already looks like a future first overall pick.

236: Senior Bowl preview and draft talk with Rob Staton, Seahawks Draft Blog Jan 24, 2019

Looking back at the season, Rob discusses some of the players who impacted this team the most from the 2018 draft class. Did John Schneider regain some of the magic from his earlier years, or is it just a trend of continued success? One thing for sure we can count on is that Schneider won't be content with four draft picks and will most likely trade back to accumulate extra picks on Day 3 of the draft.

The Senior Bowl is this weekend and Rob talks about why this game hold so much significance for draft analysts. Who are some of the players to look for? Rob talks about players like Montez Sweat, a pass rusher from Mississippi State and Terry McLaurin who have impressed so far this week at the Senior Bowl. Two local lineman, one from Washington and another from Washington State, have also performed well and could be potential draft targets for Seattle.

Rob and Brandan spend some time talking about a potential candidate in the draft for the big-bodied wide receiver that Coach Carroll has seemingly been looking for. DK Metcalf of Ole MIss has some injury issues that could cause him to fall down the board and potentially into the second round. His father, uncle and grandfather all played in the NFL.

Rob lays out a scenario where, if Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray falls in the draft, the Seahawks should consider taking him. Though Rob is high on the Murray's potential, it wouldn't necessarily be with the goal in mind of immediately trading Russ. Instead it could serve as a fallback plan in case contract negotiations don't go well in this offseason and if Russell Wilson ends up going the franchise tag route down the road.

235: Seahawks 2018 Year in Review Jan 19, 2019

In his final press conference for the season, Pete Carroll characterized the 2018 Seahawks year as a season of growth. We look at many of the strengths of the team this season as well as areas of growth for 2019. With young players filling a lot of key positions, particularly on defense, Carroll sounds like he is counting on many of those players to be better. But as we've pointed out in the past, it's not always a steady progression toward awesome.

When the Seahawks lost both Jimmy Graham and Paul Richardson on offense in the offseason, we were wondering where those 16 touchdowns would go. As we hoped, a lot of those went to the run game, which improved from one score last season to 15 this year. Add that to a career year in touchdown passes for Russell, and that helped the team become the second highest scoring offense in franchise history.

Which players outperformed their contracts this season? Which ones didn't quite live up to the value? Injuries were the primary factor in determining underperformance, and apart from that the Seahawks received a high level of performance from the value of the players on the roster. The 2018 rookie class was one area in particular fans should be very happy with.

In the second half of the show we learn that nearly half of the top 10 in the pickem league cheated in a way that we made clear was not acceptable. Adam goes after Nike for requiring an app for a new pair of basketball shoes and Brandan calls out a USA Today reporter for leaving out some key facts in characterizing the Seahawks play calling this past season.

Better at life honors go to NASA for a possible upcoming mission to look for life in other parts of our solar system, and to a Philadelphia Eagles fan in second grade who provided some inspiration to fans everywhere.

234: Seahawks had Dallas right where they wanted them, and free agents in 2019 and 2020 Jan 11, 2019

Russell Wilson was named to the Pro Bowl (finally) after Aaron Rodgers has decided to sit the game out due to injury. Wilson led the NFC in touchdown passes in 2018. Why was Rodgers even in the Pro Bowl after the season he had this year? After the game Pete Carroll called this year a season of growth. Is it better to lose early to emphasize the additional growth the Seahawks need?

Going back to the game against the Cowboys, we dial into the second half to see when a change of gameplan could have made a difference in the outcome. Ultimately, there were two plays that nearly always goes the Seahawks way. Had Seattle made just one of those two plays (one on offense, one on defense), they would have been in a much greatest position to get a win in Dallas.

Is it time for Seattle to look for another kicker after just one year of Seabass? The guys look down the list of free agent kickers and it includes a Pro Bowl player who started the season on the Seahawks roster in 2018 and a rival kicker for the 49ers. Who else should Seattle consider keeping around that could leave in the offseason. Big name free agents include Frank Clark, Earl Thomas, K.J. Wright, D.J. Fluker and J.R. Sweezy.

Russell Wilson's contract is likely to be a hot topic this offseason as he goes into his last year. Seattle should also consider extending Bobby Wagner a year early along with Jarran Reed. That group headlines the list of free agents next season.

The do better segment explores new unwritten rules of the NBA are very particular over which shoes teammates are allowed to wear, and the latest news release from the Arizona Cardinals for their source of quotes in their announcement of their new head coach. Better at life candidates this week include the Arizona Cardinals front office and to Seahawks fan Henry Winkler and the dying legacy of cool dudes in sitcoms.

Seahawks Wild Card quick reaction: May the Hawkra be with you, always Jan 06, 2019

Seattle made it abundantly clear in this game, they were sticking with the same formula they used in the Week 3 game. 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, it looked like they had finally adjusted to what the Cowboys were doing. Dallas was completely selling out to stop Chris Carson, so Russell kept the ball and made some plays.

The problem was they didn't adjust. They continued to pound into the brick was that was the Dallas defensive front on first down. Over. And over. And over.

Clinton Bonner joins Adam and Brandan for the reaction show this week. As a passionate supporter to give Chris Carson the ball all season, Clinton finds it hard to be too critical, but Adam makes the point that this was how effective the run was this season. It was so good that Dallas was throwing everything they had to stop it, and it was on the Seahawks coaches to adjust and take what the defense was giving them.

233: Seahawks have a chance to usher in a Super 2019 Jan 04, 2019

It's a playoff episode on the first Blue Friday of 2019 and our Seahawks are back in the playoffs after missing the postseason last year. Adam is back in his hosting chair along with Brandan to help kick the New Year off the right way. Chris Carson had a great start to the year by learning that he earned offensive player of the month honors for December.

Going into the matchup, one thing that seems to be overlooked is just how prolific the Seahawks offense was this season. Seattle tied the Chiefs with their ability to create explosive plays going into the final stretch of the season and this Seahawks offense put up more points than any other team apart from the one that went to the Super Bowl in the 2005 season. The guys discuss whether that is a product of the league this year or something that's truly exciting heading into the playoffs.

Adam has been hearing about how much more talent the Cowboys roster has than the Seahawks, so he wants to take a look at the position groups to see exactly which areas have more talent than Seattle. In past years, fans could count on the Dallas offensive line being the best unit on the field, but that may not be the case anymore. Dak Prescott has been doing one thing at an elite level this season, and that has been his ability to generate game winning drives. He's slightly ahead of Russell Wilson and second only to Drew Brees. Can it translate to playoff success?

So how exactly did a team that was predicted to miss the playoffs end up in a position that surprised so many in the national media? There were even some surprises to those of us who predicted a playoff season. We run down the top three reasons why Seattle found the success it did this year and to a level that beat expectations.

Pete Carroll is now set to be the Seahawks coach through 2021, and with his comments in a recent Seattle Times article, it seems we have a better idea of the immediate future of team ownership after the passing of Paul Allen.

Closing out this week's show, Adam give us his playoff picks, shares a life lesson he learned over the past week, and tells us why Antonio Brown needs to do better. Brandan calls out Patrick Mahomes for something that should be creating a lot more controversey. Better at life honors go to a space probe billions of miles away from Earth and to a CNN anchor for giving Brandan the inspiration for his New Year's resolution.

Seahawks Week 17 quick reaction: Just one turnover away from their goal weight Dec 31, 2018

With a postseason spot already clinched, the Seahawks took fans on a ride that seemed to be reminiscent of past memories. From a player wearing number 83 getting knocked down as a slant pass was intercepted, to abandoning the run in the way they did early this season, it brought back some bad memories. Ross Bell of the UK Sea Hawkers joins Brandan to talk about why, against the Cardinals, the Seahawks seem to refuse to win pretty.

The last time a matchup between these two teams was decided by more than a touchdown was a 36-6 victory in Arizona. But the Seahawks finally get a win at home, 27-24, against an Arizona team that had won three straight times at CenturyLink. With their two starting guards out, Seattle moved Ifedi into guard and put George Fant at right tackle for the second straight game. It didn't go well as Wilson was sacked six times. Protecting the punter was also a problem as one punt was blocked for a touchdown and another was partially blocked.

After back-to-back drives to start the half were unsuccessful following three straight pass plays, Seattle was backed up on the two-yard line to start their third drive. It looked like another turnover would go into the end zone for a touchdown until a holding call on the Cardinals defense gave Seattle new life. Chris Carson broke his biggest run of the season going 61 yards downfield and Mike Davis finished off the drive with a 17-yard run into the end zone.

The Cardinals continued to fight back, but Russell Wilson put together another one of his fourth quarter game-winning drives and Janikowski kicked the game winner (something Blair Walsh couldn't manage last season).

Seahawks Week 16 quick reaction: Every time a Seahawk scores, an angel gets its wings Dec 24, 2018

With a playoff spot on the line, the Seahawks put up an outstanding effort against the Kansas City Chiefs and earn a 38-31 victory to solidify a spot on the postseason. Rob Staton of Seahawks Draft Blog joins the reaction show this week to talk about the offensive performance on the ground and through the air with 464 total yards. Three touchdowns from Russell Wilson to go with 271 yards, and Chris Carson added two touchdowns on the ground to go with his 27 carries for 116 yards.

The Seahawks defense came up big when it needed to by helping to get the Chiefs off the field and go three-and-out on their first drive. Their effort to hold them to field goals instead of touchdowns on drives in the 1st and 4th quarters was also a key difference in this game. Brandan talks about how Ken Norton Jr. changed things up with the scheme to help hold Pro Bowl tight end Travis Kelce to just five catches on the day.

Of course it can't go without mentioning the spectacular effort by Doug Baldwin in this game. His touchdown catch in the third quarter helped the Seahawks pull away from the Chiefs for good. In the next quarter, the concentration to bring the football down at the one yard line in right before the Seahawks final touchdown was incredible. But even before that touchdown by Doug, Brandan goes back to a moment in the third quarter where they game could have gone in a different direction and it was the effort by tight end Ed Dickson that helped lead Seattle to victory.

232: Seahawks DB health a concern vs Chiefs Pro Bowl offensive trio Dec 22, 2018

Facing one of the top offenses in the NFL this week, the Seahawks have a number of players on the injury report. On defense is where the names jump out the most. Particularly seeing both Bradley McDougald and Tedric Thompson along with Shaquill Griffin on the injury report. Griffin was a full participant in practice, but Thompson has already been ruled out this week and McDougald is questionable. How will injuries impact Sunday night's game?

The Chiefs are incredible on offense, but what about the defense? What's the magic number the Seahawks will have to put up on the board to be able to outscore the trio of Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce? It's a difficult number to come up with when they've score upwards of 40-50 points in two of the three losses.

A few of the Seahawks players are looking to hit some big milestones in this game. Russell Wilson, Doug Baldwin, Tyler Lockett, Chris Carson and Frank Clark all have some important milestones that could be within range in this game. The guys run down the short list of Pro Bowl players with Bobby Wagner and Michael Dickson earning a spot. But there are seven more Seahawks players on the list who are listed as alternates. Yet, there are still two spots that stand out as snubs.

In the Do Better segment, Adam takes a run at the elf on the shelf and Brandan has words for throwback jersey distributor Mitchell and Ness. Better at life honors go to a former Seahawks player for calling out the Rams going into the playoffs and to a former Seahawks running back who showed up at his hometown city council meeting.

Seahawks Week 15 reaction: Why so Seahawky? Dec 18, 2018

With a playoff berth on the line, the Seahawks fall to the San Francisco 49ers 26-23 in overtime. We could blame Ross in Eureka who made the trip down and was in attendance last time the Seahawks lost to the 49ers, but instead we peg the blame on a few of the players, bad calls in tough moments and inability to adjust early on to the way San Francisco was attacking the defense. It makes sense, based on past history, the Seahawks wouldn't take the easy road to the playoffs by locking it up in week 15. For some reason they have to make it more interesting over the final two weeks of the season.

There are also some positives to touch on, as well. Doug Baldwin had a really nice game coming back from injury. Both of his touchdowns offered some nice moments. Chris Carson had a career day and his touchdown on fourth and goal showed a tremendous effort and the defensive line had some big plays in key moments. But no Seahawks player seemed to be admired more by the home 49ers crowd than punter Michael Dickson.

231: Unintentional Art Dec 15, 2018

Changing the show up a big this week now that it's been a few days since the Vikings game and the Seahawks are facing a familiar foe in the San Francisco 49ers we covered recently. With so much feedback over this past week, we're reaching into the mailbag and covering some of the biggest topics from the past few weeks.

The show kicks off with a discussion that looks ahead to the next home game with the Kansas City Chiefs coming to town now that they're fresh off a loss at home to the Chargers. What seems to be the key to beating some of these teams with big offensive firepower?

A lot of discussion recently has been surrounding the idea that the Seattle defense needs a new nickname. There's one in particular that came up on Reddit that offered some intrigue. Our Associate Producer points out the narrative's after many of the Seahawks games this year and has predictions for what the excuse could be next week if Seattle hands the Chiefs a second loss in a row.

A YouTuber who made a bet and appears not to be following through needs to do better, and Adam suggests a training program to create an elite group of mall Santa's is a terrible idea. Better at life nods go to Tyler Perry for his efforts to bring joy to a number of Atlanta-area families and to a man after Adam's own heart.

Week 14 Seahawks quick reaction: I love the smell of action green on Monday night Dec 11, 2018

The Monday Night Football matchup between the Seahawks and the Vikings was a defensive slugfest for the first 55 minutes of the game. Halfway through the fourth quarter, Minnesota started playing the field position game and were able to line up for a 47-yard field goal, but Bobby Wagner wasn't having it. Wagner leaped over the line and blocked the try to keep the Vikings scoreless.

Minnesota couldn't stop the Seahawks on the ground as Russell Wilson escaped outside the pocket and picked up 40 yards down the sideline. From 21 yards out, Chris Carson carried five straight times to put the first touchdown on the board with less than three minutes left. Seattle added a 2-point conversion and just a couple plays later the defense added a score of their own. Within the span of 30 seconds, the game went from tight 6-0 game to a 21-0 blowout.

Adam and Brandan talk about the biggest plays from the game, including a catch by Geroge Fant, and the dominant play from a Seahawks defense that looked like the play we came to expect from previous seasons.

Looking ahead to the game next weekend against the 49ers, Tod Gomes of the NorCal Sea Hawkers joins the show to talk about the upcoming events leading into Sunday's game in Santa Clara as well as the fundraising efforts to support victims of the Camp Fire in California.

230: Emperor Wilson throws a shoe, notches another December win to improve Seahawks playoff odds Dec 06, 2018

The Seahawks keep their winning streak against the 49ers alive with a 43-16 victory over San Francisco at CenturyLink Field. Russell Wilson doesn't throw for many yards, but he really didn't need to. He only needed four completions in the first half, and three of them were for touchdowns, to put Seattle up 20-3. With a big Tyler Lockett return to start the second half and a Rashaad Penny run to punch it in from 20 yards out, Seattle had more than enough points to coast through the rest of the game.

Richard Sherman was unwilling to accept that Wilson had a solid performance and pointed to the fact that Russell threw for less than 200 yards, while also noting that it was the 49ers quarterback had thrown for more than 400. We ask the important questions, like, is Sherman a yardage truther?

But this game was more about Bobby Wagner than it was Wilson or Sherman. Wagner had a game that busted off the stat sheet with 12 tackles, 2 for a loss, 1 pick six, a fumble recovery and two pass defenses. His 98-yard interception return was a new Seahawks record.

If the NFL season ended after this game, Seattle would be the 5th seed in the playoffs. It actually gives them a bit of room for error over the next four games and that's what has Adam a bit worried going into this week's matchup. The Vikings are hanging onto the final playoff spot and have one of the best receiving corps coming into Seattle. But will the Vikings coach choose to air it out or try and stick to promoting a run game that is currently 30th in the NFL?

Better at life nods go to a Packers team for firing a position coach, and former Seahawks linebacker, who vaguely criticized Aaron Rodgers and to the NFL for cracking down on PED use at a position where it provides very little enhancement. Better at life honors go to CBS for bringing back Adam's favorite captain and to Jared Allen for setting his sights on a return to professional sports.

Be sure and check out the NorCal Sea Hawkers Facebook page for upcoming events leading into the next road game against the 49ers.

229: Seahawks to take on Richard Sherman and the Sherminators (feat. George Kittle) Nov 30, 2018

After Sunday's 30-27 victory over the Carolina Panthers, Adam and Brandan continue to enjoy the win. This week, we award those who deserve to be recognized for some of the biggest plays from Sunday's win. Russell Wilson also gets some recognition for his franchise record milestone and a pair of receivers do something that has been done less than a handful of times in the Pete Carroll era.

The Carolina Panthers were able to end the Seahawks streak of seven straight games with more than 150 yards rushing. With that coming to an end, Brandan brings up the other teams that have accomplished that feat since Seattle joined the NFL and they all have something in common.

As fans, we knew that Richard Sherman coming back to Seattle would be a big story line. Maybe we didn't know it would be the only story line. Adam points to Pete Carroll's Wednesday press conference as evidence who the media really wanted to discuss and it was all Sherman for a majority of the time. The 49ers quarterback, best known for going to the same school as Brett Favre, was off to an excellent start in his opening game. And despite the challenges San Francisco has faced this season, they're very similar in terms of their offensive production to Seattle.

Closing out the show, the guys explain why the Big 12 Conference and the city of Missoula need to do better. Lastly, NASA and the Washington State Cougars marching band are better at life.

The first 12 listeners to donate $12 or more to 12shelping12s.com/donate and email us at gohawks@seahawkerspodcast.com to let us know, we will send a $12 donation.

Week 12 Seahawks quick reaction: Say hello to the sexy deep ball! Nov 26, 2018

Four weeks ago, we said the Seahawks needed to go 2-2 over at tough four-game stretch where they faced the Chargers, Rams, Packers and Panthers. Seattle got the job done, despite falling in a 0-2 hole, but now they are back on track after handing Cam Newton his first home loss in Carolina this season. A missed field goal late in the fourth quarter gave the ball back to Seattle and a huge pass to Tyler Lockett set up the game winning field goal and the 30-27 victory.

Lockett was outstanding in this game and David Moore caught a ball on a rope from Russell Wilson on fourth down to tie the game up in the fourth quarter. Adam says he wants all the Seahawks receivers to watch what Lockett does after he catches the football. Chris Carson didn't have a lot of yardage in this game, but he certainly made the highlight reel with a full flip where he landed on his feet.

Wilson gets another stat on the road and is now has more regular season wins than any Seahawks quarterback in franchise history. We'll be talking about that along with the matchup against the 49ers in the show later this week.

228: Seahawks overcome WTF moments vs Packers, look forward to another nail biter in Carolina Nov 22, 2018

The Seahawks overcame a lot in last week's 27-24 win over the Packers. They won despite a fumble on the opening play that was quickly turned into a score, they won despite a huge touchdown throw from Aaron Rodgers to put the Packers up by double digits early on in the game, and they overcame a rough first half by Russell Wilson. Not only that, they racked up a few pre-snap penalties, Kyler Fackrell had a huge day, and they even got some help in a few key areas late in the game.

The running game continues to have a positive impact for the Seahawks. With Carson, Penny and Davis all proving to be solid options, they continue to impose their will on teams. It showed up in the final four minutes of the game when they showed the Packers that they would not get the ball back and have a chance at some late-game magic. It was a stark contrast to a team that led at the half, yet fed their lead back only four times in the final 30 minutes of the game.

Now at 5-5, Seattle will travel across the country and face their second to last road team for the season before hosting four of their final five games. Carolina is coming off two road losses, but they return home where they have proven to be a very different team. The Panthers, Rams, Patriots and Chiefs are perfect at home this year. Fortunately, Seattle has been a very good road team after losing their opening two games on the road. The guys talk about how similarly the two teams match up going into a critical game for Seattle to maintain momentum toward a playoff spot.

In the final segment of the show, they talk about how the national media seems to be coming around to the idea that Seattle is a team with playoff potential. They take a look at the winners from the pickem league this week and welcome new members of the flock from getintheflock.com.

Do better nods this week go out to media members who offer a poor explanation of what happened in the Le'Veon Bell holdout and his decision to sit out the season and to the historic matchup on Monday Night Football. Better at life honors go to a college in New York for a shine created to honor Danny DeVito and to the Seahawks who were among the top 25 finalists for the 2019 Hall of Fame.

227: Seahawks fans left wondering where is the clutch? Nov 15, 2018

The Seahawks fell back below .500 this week after another close game. Just like in the first loss, the Seahawks had the ball at the end of the game with a chance to score and came up short. Where is the clutch Russell Wilson that we've come to expect in these finals moments? The guys aren't buying the notion that an improved running game has any sort of negative impact on the passing offense late in the game. Wilson got it done on the ground, but when it comes to the passing game, one particular stat surprised Adam.

So are the Seahawks the best of the bad teams or a bad, good team? Whichever one it is, they're about to face a team that has similar questions. Aaron Rodgers and the Packers are facing Seattle on Thursday night and they seem to have a back who can make things happen on the ground. The other side of the ball is an issue for them. Green Bay has a defense that is structured similar to the Rams and Seahawks have put up at least 30 points in those matchups.

The guys explain why there was no quick reaction show, although technically this could be a quick reaction show considering the amount of time between watching the game and the show this week. Congrats to Cameron for coming out on top of the VIP Flocker leaderboard this week!

Despite a strong game for Tyler Lockett, he finds himself in the Do Better segment along with a particular article of Salute to Service attire that doesn't seem to belong. Better at Life honors go to a section of the Universal Studios theme park and to Justin Britt for camping out in Aaron Donald's head for Sunday's game.

226: Time for Russell Wilson to bounce back and for the Seahawks defense to hold on third and long Nov 09, 2018

The Seahawks lose what ends up being a close game at the end to the Chargers. The defense holds the Chargers offense to zero points after having a rough first half. With the fact the defense was able to keep it close, Russell Wilson has to own a big part of the loss. Taking sacks, missing receivers and not getting rid of the ball when he has an opportunity all had an impact. The guys talk about how he's having to do some work to get back to working within the offensive system.

Part of the trouble in the first half against the Chargers was with giving up explosive players to the Chargers. The guys dig into the third down stats to see that the Seahawks are among the best in the league on holding teams on third down. Why does it feel like if the opposing team is in a third and long situation that the defense is going to give up a big play?

Looking ahead to the Rams game on Sunday, the Seahawks ability to attack the perimeter the way the Saints did last week and success throwing deep against Peters will help keep them in the game. Adam thinks the defense has to be able to get enough stops to keep the Rams under 30 points for Seattle to have a shot to win. Seattle hasn't shown much ability to get a pass rush against good offensive lines and Jared Goff has been outstanding when throwing from a clean pocket. Those two things could make for a difficult day.

The loss to the Chargers knocked the Seahawks playoff chances down to 35% when it was 50% last week. Adam and Brandan look at the other teams in the playoff race for the NFC Wild Card spots to try and see where the biggest competition is and how it will impact the games on the schedule.

In the second half of the show we talk about Bruce Irvin going to the Falcons rather than coming back to Seattle and talk about how the Seahawks touchdown celebrations having been on point this season. One of our members of the flock went to Western Oregon University, or at least a school that now refers to itself by that name. Others attempt to verify its existence, but it starts to sound more like a Bigfoot sighting than actual verifiable evidence.

In the Do Better segment Brandan goes after Troy Aikman while Adam talks about his experience trying to license his camper. Better at Life honors go to new space technology that involves pirates (but not space pirates) and to Chris Carson for opening up about a traumatic event that has him championing a cause that is a critical issue in the Seattle area.

Seahawks Week 9 quick reaction: Show me the penalties! Nov 05, 2018

Penalties, whether on the Seahawks or on the Chargers, seemed to be the story of this game. Seattle, in the final minutes of the game, are able to drive down and have one more shot at a touchdown thanks to calls that went against the Chargers defense. J.R. Sweezy gets called for a false start right before the final play just for good measure. A tipped pass makes it so David Moore is unable to come down with it in the back of the end zone and Seattle loses 25-17.

Philip Rivers made it pretty clear he would have liked to have seen a whole lot more penalties go his way. Even will all of the laundry on the field, the Seahawks still had moments to overcome the calls. Seabass had a chance to make a field goal and missed. Russell had opportunities where he missed guys on throws. Some calls, like the one where Mike Williams had a foot or two out of bounds, may have even allowed Seattle to score more points.

What is certain is that the Seahawks did have a chance in the end and they missed an opportunity to get one game closer to the Rams. It's a Rams team the Seahawks will get to face on Sunday and joining us to close out the show is Cedric Morris as he talks about the events going on Saturday for the Hermosa Beach takeover and the Southern California Seahawks Fans tailgate on Sunday.

225: Dickson earns two big honors after Detroit win, Seahawks play at home for only the third time this year Nov 03, 2018

Following a 28-14 victory over the Lions, Seattle was quiet at the trade deadline and didn't give up or acquire any picks. But they did open up a roster spot by dropping Brandon Marshall. Marshall hadn't seen much action in recent weeks and Coach Carroll mentioned a desire to add to special teams. And speaking of special teams, Michael Dickson earn NFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors after earning a new nickname and making a play from his own end zone that was celebrated by his teammates, by his coach and by a former Colts punter who took to Twitter to offer an amazing call on the play.

The Los Angeles Chargers are next up and Philip Rivers is having a solid season. The guys take a look at how the Chargers earned their 5-2 record and what the Seahawks need to do on defense to have success. For Seattle, their secret weapon may be their defensive coordinator who had a lot of success against Rivers in his previous position. The Chargers bring a secret weapon into this game, too, a second receiver with the last name Williams from a college we're not sure actually exists.

This week's show features a deep dive into offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer's headwear selections and how it has impacted the games throughout the season. Adam sounds as though he's prepared to eat crow based on his reaction after the signing in the offseason and Brandan is prepared to make a deal with a local beat writer to track the coordinators headwear at practice.

Do better nods to go out to players from the Jaguars for their behavior in London and to several members of the Packers organization for their behavior in the closing moments of the game against the Rams that continued to impact them through the trade deadline. Adam names another telescope that is better at life than Skip Bayless and Brandan honors the Seahawks first head coach Jack Patera who passed away this week.

Week 8 quick reaction: A place where the Seahawks hyperbole flows like wine Oct 29, 2018

Celebrating a victory this week as the Seahawks improve to 4-3 and earn their third straight victory on the road. After seven games this season, Seattle still has six home games left on its schedule. And with the Seahawks coming out of the bye, many of us fans were wondering if Seattle could carry the momentum over from the win overseas against the Raiders.

With the 28-14 win, the defense was able to hold off some late charges by Matt Stafford and the Lions. A 21-point second quarter allowed Seattle to grind out clock throughout most of the second half and a 14-point lead in the final minutes allowed punter Michael Dickson to take a risk on a play that was intended to run out clock before taking a safety. Instead, he ran from the very back of the end zone and turned upfield to get a first down to help cement the win.

Adam Nathan of the UK Sea Hawkers joins Adam and Brandan this week to talk about the emergence of David Moore, a great showing by Chris Carson, and the continued efficiency of Russell Wilson in what turned out to be a record-breaking performance.

224: Matchup with Detroit can tune up the Seahawks for the toughest part of their schedule Oct 27, 2018

The Seahawks are coming off of their bye week and are back on the road to a location that Russell Wilson has yet to win a game. The last time the Seahawks and the Lions played in Detroit, it was Wilson's rookie season. Fortunately, Russell is undefeated against Detroit when he's not a rookie.

A lot of the talk leading up to Sunday's matchup, is how Detroit now has a running game. They now have a talented player to hand the ball off to, but it hasn't changed the way that the Lions and Matt Stafford attack opposing defenses. Even with an improved run game, it isn't as if the Lions are making it a point to shift their offensive philosophy.

Adam and Brandan break down some of the statistics going into the game and where the Lions have the biggest deficiency against the Seahawks. On offense for Detroit, they have a former Seahawks receiver who Adam considers the biggest concern for the Seahawks defense. One area to watch is if the Seahawks pass rush can continue what they showed us against the Raiders, even though the Lions offensive line is much better.

Brian won the pickem league this past week and there is an eerie coincidence that matches up with the 20-year anniversary of an iconic movie. We revisit the segment from last show and cover many of the remaining types of tape we didn't get in last week's power rankings. In the Do Better segment, Brandan has a problem with some of the marketing from his cell provider and Adam goes after a writer for ESPN's power rankings. Better at Life honors go to Funko for creating a cereal that is flying off store shelves and to NASA for coming up with a creative way to fix the Hubble telescope.

223: Seahawks dominate Raiders and expect to carry the momentum through the bye week Oct 22, 2018

After a win over the Raiders in London, Pete Carroll now has more wins than any other Seahawks head coach. There wasn't much more that Seattle could have done in this game apart from a Russell Wilson interception and some penalties that pushed the offense out of field goal range early on. This was the type of football Pete Carroll loves, too. Seven straight run plays and more than seven minutes off the clock on their way to an opening touchdown - something we haven't seen as Seahawks fans since 2016.

They started the game playing physical football and they finished about as well as any team can. With more than eight minutes on the clock, they got the ball from the Raiders and never gave it back. Surely Ken Norton, after being fired from the Raiders in the offseason, enjoyed the 27-3 beatdown that was awfully close to being a shutout.

Adam and Brandan go through the highlights from the game and the highlights from the pregame and postgame meetup with our members of the flock. We get into the bus tour that somehow turned into cheers and jeers at people walking around the streets of London that culminated in a meetup at Buckingham Palace.

We close out the show with a rant from Adam on the state of football and how he doesn't like what he's seeing. Brandan goes after a reporter for trying to make a news story out of Bill Belichick confirming that no defensive pass rusher belongs in the same conversation as Lawrence Taylor. Better at life honors go posthumously to UK Sea Hawker Ian Robert Smith who was honored at the end of the first quarter of the game by many in attendance and to Seahawks owner Paul Allen who passed away this week battling cancer.

Thanks Paul Allen, a tribute to the man who saved the Seattle Seahawks Oct 19, 2018

Back in the late 90s, the Seattle Seahawks nearly moved down to Southern California. Mark Tye Turner joins the show to talk about how he remembers calling into the offices where they were already referring to them as the Anaheim Seahawks. But thanks to the work of Seahawks fans, the city of Seattle, the NFL commissioner at that time and of course to Paul Allen - the team was purchased, a referendum was passed, and Allen went on to hire two of the top coaches in the history of the franchise.

Brandan and Mark talk about some of the personal marks that Paul Allen has put on the team and what some of the potential things the NFL, the city, and the team could do to memorialize and honor his legacy.

Week 6 quick reaction: The Seahawks home field advantage carries overseas Oct 15, 2018

The Seahawks strolled into London and came away with a dominant 27-3 victory over the Oakland Raiders. It all started with the first drive that really set the tone for the team for the entire game. The physicality from the offensive line was matched by physical play on the defensive line that gave Derek Carr a lot of trouble all day long.

Fans watching on television may have heard the noise generated by the crowd at Wembley Stadium, but what doesn’t come across the broadcast is how important this game was for a lot of overseas 12s. For some people it meant attending their first Seahawks game, because it was a destination in a reasonable travel distance for them. Clearly the culture Seahawks fans have created appears to translate well to many of the people representing so many countries in Europe.

Russell Wilson, once again, had a very efficient day and got to play Oprah with the way he delivered touchdown passes. Doug Baldwin was back to being the leading receiver and he had a simple explanation for exactly why things turned around compared to his performance from last week.

Thanks to all the listeners who showed up to meet up with us while we were on the road! We had an incredibly memorable weekend.

222: Catfish the Rams! The Seahawks miss out on a big win before heading to London Oct 11, 2018

Winning is always better than losing, but is a loss against the Rams better than a close win over the Cardinals? That may be a difficult choice. The Seahawks carried a 31-24 lead into the fourth quarter and continued to lead after a missed extra point by the Rams. They had a couple opportunities to keep their lead late in the game, but failed to execute. Adam and Brandan talk about the key plays in the final quarter and the coaching decisions that contributed to the loss.

On the positive side, the Seahawks looked like a team that has the ability to compete with any other team in the league. With Tedric Thompson now in the starting lineup, he filled in well for Earl Thomas and was the top rated defensive player according to Pro Football Focus. The guys talk about the plays he contributed to the most and the upside of the Seahawks secondary.

Considering what we saw from the Seahawks and their potential to be a team on the upswing in the second half of the season, the guys talk about the other teams in the NFC that could present a problem in a run for a playoff spot.

The Seahawks head to London to take on the Oakland Raiders for the franchise's first regular season International Series game. The guys talk about which area that Seattle clearly holds an advantage in the matchup between these two teams. But are there some wildcards to consider in this game? It may be that the Seahawks have never seen field conditions quite like what they'll find at Wembley Stadium.

Are you going to be in London? Want to meet up sometime before the game? Visit getintheflock.com to find out where we'll be if you want to swing by and say hello.

Week 5 quick reaction: A game that offers mixed reactions for Seahawks fans Oct 08, 2018

The Seahawks had more than their share of opportunities to come away with the victory in this game up 31 to 24 going into the fourth quarter. The Rams even blew an extra point attempt to allow Seattle to hold the lead even deeper into the fourth quarter. But the Seahawks weren't able to respond to a Los Angeles field goal that put the team ahead 33-31 in what would ultimately lead to the final score.

Clinton Bonner joins the show to fill in for Adam and he and Brandan break down the turning point in the game when some untimely penalties pushed them out of field goal range. They also look at the moments leading up to the Rams going for it on fourth down at the end of the game to solidify the victory.

Ultimately there's a lot to be excited about even in the loss, but it still feels as though the team let this one get away even though many expected that Seattle wouldn't be able to go toe-to-toe with the high powered Rams offense. Even in the loss the Seahawks are solidifying their identity on offense, but this week maybe it was just too much to ask of this young defense to contain all of the weapons on the other side of the ball.

221: Even in AZ winning is better than losing, how the Seahawks take on the Rams without ET3, KJ, or Kendricks Oct 04, 2018

Coming out of the 20-17 win against the Cardinals, an unlikely position group is getting some leaguewide recognition. The Seahawks offensive line was highlighted by NFL.com as one of the top five units in the league this last week. Adam and Brandan take a look at just how little Russell Wilson had to worry about getting hit in this game. With Pocic on his way back to being healthy, they look at how the Seahawks are approaching it considering the relative success they've had with this particular group of five players over the past two weeks.

The loss of Earl Thomas will have an impact, but which player injury will have the more long-term impact for the Seahawks. Will Dissly has on the brink of having a breakout rookie season, but could the prior injury of Jimmy Graham provide some optimism for Seahawks fans that the Montana native can return to the player we saw through the first quarter of the season.

Looking ahead to the matchup with the Rams, it's going to be a significant challenge against a team averaging around 35 points a game through their first four games and a team that put up big numbers in Seattle last season. The loss of Thomas right before this game will have an impact, but should Seahawks fans be as concerned that KJ Wright will continue to be out especially with Mychal Kendricks now out indefinitely from his suspension from the NFL? John in Louisville emails in to provide some helpful pointers for the offense in the matchup with the Rams.

After the break, the guys take a look at the team after the first quarter of the season and project forward on what would need to happen to contend for a playoff spot. An email to the show from Nathan shows that even a few days out after a win, it's still maddening how one play call in particular shifted the game and impacted the career of Earl Thomas.

Closing out the show, Adam has two drop a 'do better' on two sports analysts he deeply respects and Brandan congratulates the few people who were able to find the audio of an historic first in NFL sports media. Better at life honors go to a team of scientists who are taking the first steps to preventing Armageddon and to our Seahawks kicker who reminds us that winning continues to be a better option than losing while helping our quarterback be one of the ultimate winners among the Seattle franchise quarterbacks.

Week 4 quick reaction: Arizona is the LOB's graveyard Oct 01, 2018

It was a costly victory as the Seahawks came away with a 20-17 win over the Cardinals. To divide the game into parts of frustration and excitement, the frustration wins out especially when considering a goose egg on 3rd downs, the inability to get a consistent pass rush, missing two field goals and losing Earl Thomas to what was likely his last time in a Seahawks uniform. Strangely it happens on the same field that Kam Chancellor and Richard Sherman played their last games with the team.

To see Russell Wilson lead the game winning drive and have Janikowski kick the last second field goal, it seemed to bring more of a feeling of relief than joy. Chris Carson sat out the game due to injury and Mike Davis gave us a 2nd straight 100-yard game. He even did it on 10 fewer carries and scored the Seahawks only two touchdowns of the game.

Seattle, on the defensive side of the ball, ultimately was able to keep David Johnson in check. Josh Rosen had little help from his receivers with multiple drops, and special teams was equally frustrating as the two missed field goals by Dawson matched the misses by Seattle.

The Seahawks return home this week to take on the Rams. It was going to be a test with a healthy Earl Thomas leading the secondary, but if they can manage to put defensive backs instead of linebackers on the Rams wide receivers they’ll be a step ahead of Minnesota. If they can pull off a win, it could really make some heads spin and show us all that this team isn’t ready to accept a fate that so many were predicting for the Seahawks in the offseason.

220: Cowboys recap, Rosen to lead Cardinals, and a foolproof plan to take advantage of QB hits Sep 27, 2018

We start the show with some frustrating news that keeps cropping up in social media with fake player news coming fast and furious this week. Adam and Brandan look back and some of the biggest highlights from the win over the Cowboys. Going through some of the stats from the game, Russell Wilson has been getting the ball out faster from a statistical perspective, but Adam isn't buying that anything has changed apart from him having more protection and plays that don't require as much time to develop.

Part of the protection includes the return of D.J. Fluker and he showed an impact in the game this week and Ifedi was able to have a solid game as well only giving up three pressures on the day. Russell Wilson is getting more freedom to control the tempo of the game and one example was the Seahawks first touchdown to Jaron Brown to put the Seahawks on the board in the first half.

The Seahawks go back on the road this week for the third time in four games, but to a road location that has been historically favorable in Arizona. The Cardinals are starting their rookie quarterback for the first time this week. Had Arizona actually put Josh Rosen into the game sooner against the Bears this past weekend, they likely would have beat Chicago, because Sam Bradford was awful. He was able to take advantage of some early mistakes last weekend and then the Bears defense shut them down.

If you're going to the game be sure to check out the Seahawks Road Crew page for the Sea Hawkers gathering down in Arizona. Check out seahawkerspodcast.com/tickets if you need tickets for the game. Hopefully the 12s will continue to show up on the road in that stadium.

In the pickem league, the guys go over the latest standings, and even in a week where there were a lot of surprises, there were people getting double digit wins. One of our pickem league champions emails in to challenge Adam about his gameday attire to suggest it may also be considered of the hobo variety. Closing out the show with do better, Adam looks at some of the latest USA Today power rankings. Brandan calls out some flopping quarterbacks and that leads to a discussion of a foolproof gamepan to take advantage of how the referees are calling penalties. Better at life honors this week go to the Mars rover and to this week's 12 flag raiser Kam Chancellor.

Week 3 quick reaction: The Seahawks should consider paying Earl Thomas Sep 24, 2018

The Seahawks get the 24-13 win over the Cowboys in their Week 3 home opener. With so much talk of Earl Thomas continuing as he sat out a couple days of practice this past week, he showed up big in a game against a team that was the talk of the offseason as a potential destination for him. Thomas picked off Dak Prescott early on in the game and then again in the fourth quarter to essentially seal the victory for Seattle.

After all of the offseason talk about running the ball and how Chris Carson would be the lead back, the Seahawks certainly made good on that promise with 32 attempts going to Chris Carson alone as he eclipsed 100 yards. 39 carries in total on the ground as Russell Wilson was 16 of 26 with two touchdown passes and 192 yards through the air.

Even with some pieces missing from their offensive line, the Cowboys still have a solid unit and the Seattle defensive line was able to sack Prescott five times, with Jarran Reed getting two and Frank Clark getting his third sack in three games. Next up, the Seahawks will head down to Arizona and we'll preview the game and break down more of Sunday's win coming up on Episode 220 this week.

219: Russell Wilson is not regressing, and can one timeout suggest a power struggle within the team Sep 21, 2018

With questions about whether or not Russell Wilson is holding onto the ball too long, if the offensive line is struggling to hold off the pass rush or receivers are getting open, Adam is digging into this week's tape to see what the biggest problem was in Week 2. Pete Carroll was called out on his post game comments about Chris Carson and now says he was wrong and that the plan was to give Penny carries in the fourth quarter.

The guys talk about some moves from this past week that caused a stir. With problems of depth at linebacker, Seattle signed Mychal Kendricks after he was released from the Browns following his guilty plea for insider trading. Defensive tackle Tom Johnson was waived from the team to make room for a safety who didn't even play, which was curious considering the team's struggles to rush the passer early this season. Pete Carroll explains part of the thinking behind the move.

Andrew Guzman, Cowboys fan from the Common Ground Football Podcast, joins the show this week to talk about how Dallas has looked through the first couple weeks of the season. He explains why Prescott has struggled to this point in the season, and how some of the injuries on the offensive line are contributing to the inability to move the ball early on this season. The Cowboys pass rush is looking good now that their second-year defensive end Taco Charlton is creating pressure opposite of Demarcus Lawrence.

After the interview, the guys take a look at Ben Baldwin's tweet on a sequence in the game before the Russell Wilson interception in the game against the Bears. Based on that sequence, fans are suggesting that a power struggle could be brewing between the Seahawks quarterback and the coaching staff. Pete Carroll is aware of the questions surrounding the timeout and says it was simply because the offense wasn't lined up correctly. The show closes with a discussion of the Bucs quarterback through the first two weeks of the season and his memorable press conference.

Week 2 quick reaction: The Seahawks commitment to the run game vs the Bears Sep 18, 2018

Maybe the show title is missing a question mark. When it comes to a commitment to the run game, it seems like three straight runs to start the game was enough, because Seattle completely moved away with it and had no success through the second and third quarters. The clear lack of a run game was the story of the game as the Seahawks fall to the Bears 24-17.

The score didn't dictate any reason to keep the ball off the ground as Seattle was down only 10-3 at halftime thanks to a long field goal by Janikowski. It wasn't until Seattle started moving the ball on the ground in the fourth quarter that the Seahawks started to see some success against the Bears defensive line. Before the start of the fourth quarter, Wilson had dropped back 14 straight times and was sacked a total of six times throughout the game.

After a Tyler Lockett touchdown got them within a score, the defense got a stop and Seattle had the momentum. As the announcers were cheering the commitment to the run, the Seahawks go to an empty backfield and Russell's pass out to Penny on the sideline was picked off and returned for a touchdown. The guys discuss where to assess blame and it wasn't to the defense, which managed to hold the Bears offense to 17 points without Bobby Wagner, K.J. Wright and their starting corner from the game against the Broncos.

Where was Chris Carson in the second half? According to Coach Carroll he was "gassed" from playing on special teams. The guys offer some positives as the team heads back home to Seattle after Shaquill Griffin had a monster game with two interceptions. We close with a discussion over whether or not Coach Carroll had the opportunity to challenge a potential turnover early on in the game where Earl Thomas appeared to force a fumble.

218: Denver's end zone paint feathering and a Monday Night Football preview with Da Bears Brothers Sep 14, 2018

What were the biggest issues coming out of the game against the Broncos? Was it the 21 pressures allowed by the offensive line or the defensive line's inability to get pressure on Case Keenum? Was it the inexperience of Tre Flowers at corner or the dominant performance by Emmanuel Sanders? Why does the Denver Broncos field crew seem to have problems painting a solid white line in the end zone?

We hit all of the big questions this week while also looking at some of the positive aspects of the game. Will Dissly did something no other Seahawks rookie has done in the history of the franchise. Chris Carson came out of the game looking like the clear favorite to carry the football moving ahead. Michael Dickson was dropping mortar shells onto the field, or maybe it was some other kind of explosive.

Will and Nicholas from Da Bears Brothers join the show this week to break down what we can expect with the matchup against Chicago this week. Have Bears fans had their moment yet that signals Trubisky as a clear franchise quarterback? The guys also let us know what matchups on the offensive line to watch as there are some questions over one lineman's ability to hold his job in the starting lineup with a clear favorite to succeed him waiting on the bench. The guys talk about how they were riding high at halftime during Sunday Night Football, until Rodgers came back and did Aaron Rodgers things.

In the later part of the show, the guys make an important announcement regarding the pickem league and how listeners should proceed with caution when picking their Seahawks matchups. Mike emails in with a logical way to look at the loss to the Broncos. Do better call outs go to armchair scientists for their suggestions that Seattle handled the trip to Denver in the wrong way and to the NFL for an egregious app update. Better at life nods go to our wildland firefighters, including the brother of a member of the flock. With the Seattle Storm earning a WNBA title, they also get a better at life honor.

Week 1 quick reaction: Miscues defensively, two big calls and a missed kick lead to a 27-24 Seahawks loss Sep 10, 2018

Miscommunications on defense led to the Broncos scoring two touchdowns in the first half, but turnovers helped to keep the score close and a pick by Earl Thomas led to an early touchdown for Seattle. Fourth round pick Will Dissly had a huge game in the first half with more than 100 yards receiving and the Seahawks first touchdown of the year.

A missed field goal by the Seabass was the difference in the game, but can we really be sure that the former Raiders kicker is the same guy Seattle signed or is there some trickery going on?

Russell Wilson brought the team from behind with a fourth quarter bomb to Tyler Lockett, but it was the Broncos receiver who was able to celebrate convincingly enough for a conference between officials to swing a call in the Broncos favor. The guys argue over which call had a bigger impact in the game between that one and a Brandon Marshall touchdown that came off the board early.

217: Earl is mad and that could be a good thing, Pro Football Doc David Chao on Doug Baldwin's knee Sep 07, 2018

Making note that any "disrespect has been well noted" Earl Thomas returned to the Seahawks this week early enough that he could be ready to play in the opener against the Broncos. Can we be certain that the disrespect he speaks of is directed at the Seahawks or was it from fans and other teams around the league? The 53-man roster continued to take shape this week as Seattle picked up a couple players off of waivers and some familiar names landed on the practice squad.

Only having a bit of preseason action to work from, Adam and Brandan note that the Broncos third preseason game showed how Denver could be better than the preseason power rankings are giving them credit for. Von Miller is the biggest concern the Seattle should have going into the game and Case Keenum has a track record of performing poorly is his first start of almost every season.

Dr. David Chao, former team head physician for the San Diego Chargers, is now a sports medical analyst for the San Diego Union Tribune. He also hosts the new Pro Football Doc Podcast and interacts on Twitter @ProFootballDoc. Dr. Chao joins the show to talk about what goes on behind the scenes among coaches and team doctors and talks about how he uses video to help offer fans more information about an injury a player may have. He offers his thoughts on Doug Baldwin, K.J. Wright, Dion Jordan and what could have kept Tyler Lockett from reaching full strength last season.

The first week of picks are in as the guys run through the first week of action ahead of this weekend's games. In the do better segment, a Cowboys writer is still unwilling to give up the fight and NFL.com has Seattle looking up at the rest of the NFC West in their power rankings leading into Week 1. Earl is back and it's enough to earn him a better at life nod to close the show.

216: Seahawks 53-man roster breakdown and final preseason thoughts after the Raiders game Sep 03, 2018

The Seahawks have gone 0-4 in the preseason for the first time in the history of the organization and while it's not the kind of milestone fans want to see, we offer some perspective by talking about some other teams that have gone winless in the preseason. Shaquem Griffin jumped off the screen in preseason and now he may start the first week of the season with K.J. Wright battling a knee injury.

Now that the preseason is over, it's time to take a look at the players remaining on the team after coaches cut the roster from 90 down to 53 players. And it shouldn't be a shock to anyone that the roster is now slightly different when it was announced, because it will continue to shuffle as other teams add and cut players to their squads.

One of the biggest surprises was seeing Byron Maxwell sent to injured reserve which may effectively end any chance we will see him lining up across from Shaquill Griffin. Will Johnson be the week 1 starter or will the team choose to have Justin Coleman on the field for all the snaps even though he has shown to be most effective covering the slot? What about Earl Thomas who receives a special designation on the roster going into the season?

The special teams decisions were made after the Chargers game, but are there other options available now that Seabass missed a couple kicks in the final game of the preseason. Coach Carroll says he "over tried" against his former team, so maybe there's nothing to be concerned about.

Offensively, it looks like an exciting group of receivers and a group of running backs that should be able to improve over what the team showed last year. Coach Carroll was asked about George Fant at right tackle, and judging by his response, it seems safe to expect that Fant will be backing up both tackle spots for now. The backup quarterback was a bit of a surprise as the Seahawks made a trade prior to the game against the Raiders for former Packers quarterback Brett Hundley and Adam is not pleased by the move.

In the final portion of the show, Brandan calls out the clickbait article writers for missing a piece of information that flew under the radar from the NFL's flagship podcast and Adam gets after a former Raiders receiver who was expected to be a part of their offense coming into 2018 and was cut from the team. Better at life honors go to ESPN's Mina Kimes who is conducting the hype train for Michael Dickson as Rookie of the Year and Adam honors a political leader who called for unity in his final moments.

215: Seahawks at Vikings NFL Preseason Week 3 Reaction Show Aug 25, 2018

With the Seahawks starters seeing the most action of the preseason, Seattle led 13-6 by the time Russell Wilson left the game in the third quarter. Two missed kicks by the Vikings rookie kicker helped to keep Seattle in the lead until late in the 4th quarter. But Minnesota was able to score 15 points in the 4th quarter to get the 21-20 lead and a hail mary came up 2-yards short of the goal line as time expired for the Seahawks.

Ross Bell fills in for the reaction show this week with Adam on the road for work. Brandan and Ross take a look at some of the biggest plays of the game, including a look at Michael Dickson's first punt after taking over as punter full-time with the departure of Jon Ryan. On the Seahawks second drive of the game, we saw the ball appear to end up in the end zone without Russell throwing the ball. Defensively, the Seahawks consistently shut down the run and took away the deep part of the field to make Cousins routinely check down.

Offensively, David Moore continued to look like he will contribute this season hauling in a touchdown from Alex McGough. Chris Carson and Mike Davis shared the load at running back with the starters. On the line, Fant came in for Ifedi at right tackle in the second quarter, and both appeared to be serviceable at the spot. On defense, Tedric Thompson and Quinton Jefferson looked to be gaining confidence along with Shaquill Griffin who matched up well with Stefon Diggs.

Closing out the show, Better at Life this week is the tight end group who have come up with an interesting fine structure that includes a reference to the movie Napoleon Dynamite.

214: Farewell Jon Ryan, will Fant take over at tackle for Ifedi when the Seahawks face the Vikings Aug 23, 2018

Perhaps the most beloved punter in all of Seahawks history was released from the team this week. We talk about how Jon Ryan spent his day after learning he was cut from the team and how his new team is probably the best possible outcome for all involved. Adam and Brandan look back to the game against the Chargers at some additional takeaways from the game and how a penalty and a fumble can completely change how you can look at the game.

With the game coming up against the Vikings, what is there to watch for on offense and defense? On the offensive side of the ball George Fant is now taking snaps at right tackle. Will he get a chance to start the game or will it be a short leash for Ifedi after his performance against the Chargers? Which players on the interior of the defense could get left out on cutdown day? An injury to another Seahawks running back makes the performance of an often injured back more intriguing.

The Seattle Times recently profiled the Seahawks new offensive coordinator and the number 53 came up. No, it wasn't the percentage of hat that he prefers to wear, but the number of pass completions combined with running plays that he believes correlates to NFL wins. The guys look into how the numbers played out last season and if it could lead to a more up tempo style of offense in 2018.

In the second half of the show, the guys discuss the helmet rule that hasn't appeared to impact Seahawks games significantly, but has teams and players reacting around the league. In the "don't do meth" portion of the show, be on the look out for a discarded Domino's Pizza sign in the Seattle area.

Finally, the reaction in the media to the Jalen Ramsey story has Brandan calling for them to do better, while Adam is ready to pull journalism credentials for anyone continuing to push a very strange trade rumor that involved a future Seahawks draft pick. Doctors in the Pacific Northwest and Nintendo all earn Better at Life honors to close the show.

213: Seahawks vs Chargers: NFL Preseason Week 2 Quick Reaction Aug 19, 2018

The Seahawks fall to the Chargers 24-14 in the second week of the preseason. For getting to 300 members of the flock, we're jumping right in with our quick reaction to this week's preseason game. Concerns on offensive include one particular spot on the offensive line as well as the inability to get into the end zone from the 1-yard-line. The play at right tackle actually had Adam reconsidering a player who he was dead set against just a couple weeks ago.

On the positive side, Chris Carson did look good running the ball up to that point and getting the tough yards the Seahawks couldn't get last year. Jaron Brown and David Moore hauled in some big catches from Russell Wilson as our quarterback racked up nearly 200 yards before the half against a good Chargers secondary.

The Seahawks defense is where there seems to be more concern for Seahawks fans - which is out of the ordinary. Melvin Gordon ran up the middle without much problem in this game and ultimately punched the ball into the end zone. Special teams also took a hit for the second touchdown in the game to go down 14-6. The guys wrap the show with some predictions about the secondary and at what point Earl Thomas could work his way back into the lineup this season.

Better at life honors go out to the man who put us over the edge for 300 flockers and to a MMA athlete's story that Adam had been saving for a while.

212: At Seahawks Training Camp, Thoughts from Game 1 of the Preseason Aug 15, 2018

The Seahawks fall to the Colts 19-17 in the first game of the preseason, but there were some positive takeaways. Adam and Brandan offer their thoughts on the game while at Seahawks Training Camp in Renton. They primarily focus on some of the rookie performances, because that seemed to be the highlight with so many members of the latest draft class contributing in the game. The guys also discuss the performances by the quarterbacks and running backs.

Monday was Military Appreciation Day at the VMAC, so Brandan gets some thoughts from some of the military members in attendance. Armando Mejia, community engagement assistant director, joins the show for a few minutes to talk about some of the efforts by the team supporting military members and former Navy quarterback Keenan Reynolds, now a wide receiver for the Seahawks, stops by to answer a few questions.

Recording the second half of the show back in Montana the following day, we thank some new members of the flock and have a couple announcements to make for how we're going to approach the upcoming season. Do better calls go to anyone who has shifted from taking information via the phone to only taking information online and to the Cardinals General Manager for his offseason behavior. In our better at life segment, Adam continues his streak of RV campgrounds that he's liked and Ciara has Russell Wilson's back after a rapper suggested that her husband wasn't very cool.

211: 2018 Season Expectations and Ben Malcolmson, special assistant to Pete Carroll, joins the show Aug 07, 2018

It's time for our annual season expectations show and we kick things off with some of the latest news, including a contract extension for Duane Brown. A former Super Bowl 48 Champion is coming back to the team as the Seahawks look to the right side of the offensive line that seems to have a lot of question marks around it. The Seahawks had their first scrimmage of preseason and the guys talk about some of the players who stood out.

Leading up to the first preseason game against the Colts, Brandan and Adam share their thoughts on what groups they'll be watching throughout the game. Adam is more interested on offense with the group of running backs and narrowing down some of the battles for the final wide receiver spots as well as rookie tight end Will Dissly. On the defensive side of the ball, Shaquem Griffin and Tedrick Thompson should get some extended playing time and while Seahawks fans haven't seen much from Thompson, K.J. Wright (who thinks he'd make a good future GM) says T2 is going to be really good.

The guys also discuss who they see as a breakout star, comeback player, rising star, a player not to forget about, a guy who needs to rebound, and their darkhorse MVP candidates. There's also a disagreement over which player gets the coveted title as the best looking player.

Ben Malcolmson, special assistant to Pete Carroll, joins the show this week to talk about his experiences with the team and the leadership he saw from Coach Carroll following the Super Bowl loss. He has a new book out titled, "Walk On: From Pee Wee Dropout to the NFL Sidelines--My Unlikely Story of Football, Purpose, and Following an Amazing God." Ben talks about what it's like for an average guy to make it on a top college football team in the country and how he ultimately made it on the field for one play at the end of the season. He also talks about some players on the Seahawks who also have underdog stories.

In the final segment of the show, Max sends in a note via YouTube asking a few questions about the upcoming season. Which Seahawks running back will ultimately have the most yards this season? And which player from another team would Adam and Brandan rather have in Seattle? An ESPN writer and Apple engineers need to do better this week and a campground and a podcast listener share this week's Better At Life honors.

210: Arizona Cardinals - Know Your Rival, with Drew Butler of the Punt and Pass Podcast Jul 29, 2018

Training camp opened for the Seahawks this week, which has Adam and Brandan fired up for the 2018 season. One thing is apparent is that there's a lot of young talent on the team that we haven't been talking about with the departure of so many former star players. There are a few down notes with Coach Carroll announcing some injuries to start of the season, but the important thing for most of them is that they're ready for Week 1.

Closing out the Know Your Rival series for the offseason is a look at the Arizona Cardinals. Former Cardinals punter Drew Butler, now of the Punt and Pass Podcast, joins the show to talk about changes to the coaching staff and at quarterback. How the Cardinals respond to a new system on offense is a big question leading into the season. Drew talks about where he was when the Seahawks and Cardinals faced off for the 6-6 tie on Sunday Night Football and he offers his thoughts on the Seahawks new punter Michael Dickson.

In the second half of the show, the guys take a trip to Prisco's World and Pete's prediction that Seattle will go 5-11 this year. The prediction record appears to a be a subconscious nod toward his thoughts on the Seahawks quarterback situation. We have a lot of listener emails this week and discuss everything from why Russell continues to have his detractors to an imagined origin story for how the Sea Hawkers Podcast came to be.

Do better call outs go to the writers and media members who are doing nothing but complaining about the Terrell Owens situation and a sports writer for taking an odd angle on the Malik McDowell story. Better at life honors go to the astronomers who discovered Jupiter has 10 more moons and to the Jets for saying all the right things about their backup quarterback recovering from a devastating injury.

209: San Francisco 49ers - Know Your Rival, with Oscar of the Better Rivals podcast Jul 25, 2018

The 2018 NFL season is here, players are reporting to training camp and we're working toward wrapping up our Know Your Rival Series. The second of three installments is a discussion with Oscar from the Better Rivals Podcast, our longest tenured rival, joining the show to talk about the San Francisco 49ers offseason. Before we get to it, we briefly discuss Earl Thomas and his likely holdout.

The 49ers are a team that seems to be on the rise. Having traded for a franchise quarterback and closing out the 2017 season with a 6-game winning streak, it seems as though San Fran is once again the competitive rival that Seahawks fans got used to in the Harbaugh era. It's clear that 49ers fans are starting to feel some excitement again. The guys discuss some of the free agent acquisitions and draft picks from the offseason as well as some of the contract decisions that bring up questions about the team's front office.

These two teams have clear areas of the team where talent at particular position groups are stronger than the opponent. But what about areas like offensive line, wide receiver, running back and defensive backs? The guys debate which areas of the team are strongest and where there are some questions marks between the two clubs.

With an abbreviated show, we close out the show with a discussion about Richard Sherman's latest comments and how little we should be surprised to hear his responses in a recent Sports Illustrated article. Better at life honors go to a new employee who went through extraordinary lengths to make it to work on his first day and the response from the company's CEO. Tony Miles, runner up in the World Series of Poker, also earns top honors on the show.

208: Thanks BAM BAM, a tribute to Kam Chancellor Jul 11, 2018

Kam Chancellor announced recently that he is stepping away from the game of football due to a potential risk for paralysis if he continues to play. While the news wasn't unexpected after hearing for months about the possibility this announcement could be coming, it still doesn't make it easier for fans of Bam Bam.

From his sideline hit of Vernon Davis to his biggest moments in the playoffs, Kam has a long list of memorable plays from his eight seasons in a Seahawks uniform. Adam and Brandan take a look at his most memorable plays over the years and reflect on his contributions to the team and the physical nature of his play that made him such a fun player to watch.

Following the announcement, Seattle Times columnist Larry Stone wrote a piece saying he has a "nagging sense of guilt" when thinking about the potential long-term impacts on a player's health. Adam talks about his own experience of managing risk within his work environment and how it relates to how he views the issue. In the end, was it a bad decision by the team to extend Kam?

In the second half of the show, one listener has a message for Adam and the perceived disrespect toward the hosts of the Rams Podcast on the previous show. Other listeners have suggestions on things to consider with the upcoming bet between the two shows. One of the hosts and a bunch of NFL writers need to do better, and better at life honors go to a multi-billionaire who is solving problems that come up in the news and to Kam Chancellor in recognition for his Seahawks career.

207: Know Your Rival - Los Angeles Rams with James and Bear of the Rams Podcast Jul 01, 2018

The way the Rams and the Seahawks offseasons have gone, things couldn't be more different. With departing stars like Richard Sherman, Michael Bennett, and Cliff Avril now off the team on defense. Seahawks fans have also watched Jimmy Graham and Paul Richardson sign big contracts to go to other teams in free agency. On top of that, Kam Chancellor career is in question and Earl Thomas held out from the team's minicamp.

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Rams only seem to be adding stars. Brandin Cooks was traded to the Rams from the Patriots and on defense they acquired Ndamukong Suh, Marcus Peters and Aqib Talib. Brandan and Adam talk to James and Bear about their feelings the directions the two teams appear to be going and why simply going by arrivals and departures could be a bit deceptive when it comes to both squads.

One of the hallmarks of our talks with the Rams Podcast over the past two seasons, and now into our third, is our annual bet. The first year Adam lost a bet between Thomas Rawls and Todd Gurley. Last year was one between Cooper Kupp and Tyler Lockett. This year, the bet moves to the defensive side of the ball, as well as a bonus bet with both teams going head to head.

In the second half of the show, the guys tease the new song "Crappin' on the Rams" which closes this week's show. Find out why Adam has some sentimentality to this one particular iconic 80s rock song that the new tune parodies. After some blowback last episode to Brandan's comments about the Godfather, he explains his position as to why he couldn't put it at the top spot for greatest movie of all time. The guys close the show with a listener submitted 'do better' for a great American accomplishment that may have gone mostly unnoticed in the news and a better at life nod toward Sandy Gregory, who started her career with the Seahawks in 1976 and just announced her retirement.

206: Minicamp player hype, Earl Thomas holdout and goal setting for the 'trifecta of awesome' Jun 21, 2018

Minicamp has wrapped up for the Seahawks and now the team goes into a long six week stretch of the offseason before training camp starts up around the end of July. The purpose of mini camp and OTAs was clearly to hype up as many players as possible as Coach Carroll runs through a list of players who looked great.

Earl Thomas was the only Seahawks player who didn't show up and joins other players in the division like Aaron Donald and David Johnson who are sitting out to try and get a new contract. Adam and Brandan run through the arguments commonly used against players who want more money as Adam calls out anyone who is against Thomas as being "pro-billionaire." Which strangely leads into a discussion about Paul Allen's Stratolaunch - the world's largest airplane.

The NFL's Top 100 list continues and the guys pick up on the list of quarterbacks and the players who ranked out before Russell Wilson made his highest appearance on the list at number 11. Bobby Wagner shows up at the top linebacker behind Luke Kuechly.

In the second half of the show, after a discussion about Terrell Owens' decision to forego giving a speech at the Hall of Fame ceremony, the guys get away from football talk to discuss a response from visor nation, Montana's "Testy Festy," the Mandela effect, and how the word about giving someone a thumbs down is spreading across the nation.

After thanking some new members of the flock, it seems like we have a new listener goal of 3,000 members to get Adam into a pair of short shorts while wearing a man bun visor and doing the flute dance from this past season. Seriously, if you haven't seen the Billy Bob Man Bun Visor, you should stop what you're doing to check it out.

Closing out the show, we get some closure on why Adam is against leaf blowers despite all of the evidence listeners mail in to demonstrate their usefulness. A disgruntled employee at Tesla and golfer Phil Mickelson need to do better, while better at life honors go to one of the top movies of all time and to former Seahawks Matt Hasselbeck and Mike Holmgren.

A special thanks to Associate Producer Dustin Mock!

205: OTA takeaways: Brandon Marshall joins the team, Schotty is a visor guy, and Ken Norton needs a mustache Jun 04, 2018

The Seahawks continue their OTAs and are also continuing to add to the roster. Brandon Marshall signed with the Seahawks this past week to a low-risk contract. Can Marshall be successful with Seattle at 34? There's one player who he compares well to who also played into his mid 30s at the end of his career bouncing from team to team. The guys explore some of his history and how it could impact the team.

Pete Carroll and the two coordinators spoke to the media last week. There was a difference in sincerity in Carroll's voice when it came to hyping up his two new coaches. He also was hyping up one of his second-year receivers. Which one could step up this year and how are things going to shake out with this year's group of running backs. Schotty seems to be the go-to nickname for the new OC, but the guys are exploring other options and it leads to a rather lengthy discussion about Schotty's headwear.

Ken Norton is back in Seattle and local reporters may need to be reminded that he coaches the entire defense now, not just the linebackers. The guys also have thoughts on an accessory for Norton this season to work against his counterpart on offense.

Cliff Avril had some things to say about how things could have been different based on the play that shall not be named. But the media seems to be misinterpreting Avril's comments as somehow being anti-Carroll. Had things gone the Seahawks way at the end of that game, would it really have changed anything over the past three years? The NFL Top 100 continues and Earl Thomas drops again this year after having one of his best seasons. The guys talk about what Seahawks players we can expect to see in the top 40 and where will Russell Wilson rank out among the quarterbacks?

Closing out the show with do better, Adam calls out a news site for a "story" and takes the time to read the entire story. Brandan goes after Twitter for a feature that continues to cause problems on their platform. Better at life nods this week go to a national park getting rid of the second biggest problem in America and to an NFL player who is putting his new degree to good use.

204: Unlimited diarrhea, running backs who had success behind bad offensive lines, and NFL rule changes May 29, 2018

It turns out Russell Wilson has life problems just like the rest of us. The guys talk about a recent issue with one of Wilson's Great Dane puppies illustrating this and it is something that Adam relates to.

The main feature this week is a look at a methodology for finding which running backs have historically had success behind an offensive line ranked in the bottom 10 in the league. We went back and looked for running backs who finished in the top 10 in yards, but had an offensive line that finished in the bottom 10 for adjusted line yards.

We found that since 1997, this has happened 34 times. Taking a look at the distribution of where these running backs were drafted, half of them were drafted in the first round and 75% in the first two rounds. The guys talk about some of these top backs and what it could mean for the Seahawks this year. Visit our blog page for a full list of the running backs and where they ranked in yards with their offensive line ranking.

There were some rule changes announced this past week and the kickoff for the NFL season will look different than usual this year. Adam is indifferent to the changes, while Brandan has reasons to believe this change will make for a more exciting play than we've seen in recent years. Another rule change was that all players and team personnel must stand during the anthem if they're on the field. Will this really take the focus away from an issue that's been in the headlines for the NFL for the past two seasons?

Understanding that the issue has saturated the media, and if people are tired of the talk surrounding this new rule, you can listen to an anthem-discussion free show via getintheflock.com. But we mostly did it because a couple of our listeners bet that it couldn't be done after this past week.

In the second half of the show, we talk about the salary cap impact of Cliff Avril being cut from the team. With that amount of cap room, what are some the things the Seahawks could consider doing? Extensions for players coming into the final year of their rookie deal could be one area to use it, or holding on to it in case something comes up during the season.

Do better goes out to a rogue Amazon device who made the news this week along with a Bleacher Report writer who doesn't seem to know what the word "overrated" actually means. Better at life honors go to a hero in the Denver area and to a Seattle radio host for going against the grain in the media when writing about some of Doug Baldwin's latest comments.

203: The Seahawks are Underdogs Once Again! Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic Seattle talks wide receivers May 20, 2018

We start off the show with some sad news this week after Chuck Knox passed away at the age of 86. Seahawks fans also got some closure on Cliff Avril's injury as he was waived from the team. But the positive news was that he'd be sticking around and joining a local radio station.

The Seahawks are back! Back to being the underdogs we've known prior to their Super Bowl victory. Adam and Brandan talk about why that is while going into some of the questions that we have about the 2018 season. Among those questions has to do with the offensive line and a recent Field Gulls article has Adam musing if Mike Solari is the coaching version of Jay Cutler. In other news, after retiring from coaching, Bruce Arians may now be more of a part of our lives as Seahawks fans than he was by coaching in the division.

Earl Thomas is still in the news and we expect that he is probably not going to get an extension before the season. But he is going to be a member of the Seahawks this year - so stop it with the Cowboys talk! And speaking of the things that are silly to talk about, Russell Wilson expecting a franchise tag in 2020 is another one of them. But when Pete Carroll is throwing around glowing praise for their new 7th round quarterback, maybe his agent wants to try and cash in on a new contract right now. What can't Alex McGough do? We go over some of the news and quotes from Pete Carroll from rookie minicamp and we bring you some exclusive audio that will have you hyped up for one of this year's draft picks

Michael-Shawn Dugan, @MikeDugar on Twitter, joins the show to talk about what he saw at rookie minicamp. Dugar, formerly of the Seattle PI, is now a writer for The Athletic. His latest article discusses the Seahawks receiving corps and we talk about his roster breakdown and talk about if the Seahawks make a mistake by not drafting a receiver. Or should they count on the guys they brought in from recent years?

The dishooplafication of the Seahawks Roster continues and this time they make a sensible decision when it comes to having a tight end with the proper number of Ls in his name. We talk about the latest Supreme Court ruling and the expectation that it will lead to more gambling on NFL games. The guys talk about several issues around that before closing out with a Do Better for some crazy shifts in the media narrative toward the Seahawks based on people they visit with and to the Denver airport for inadequate signage. Better at life honors close the show for the Electronic Frontier Foundation and a company that is bringing space age technology to one of Adam's favorite past times.

202: Grading the Seattle Seahawks 2018 Draft Class May 07, 2018

Continuing our draft coverage this week as we eavesdrop in on their phone calls with John Schneider and Pete Carroll for most of the Seahawks draft picks. Of course the player from Montana would be the one call we'd need to censor with a catfish, and the call to Shaquem Griffin to let him know he's joining his brother in Seattle would be about as emotional as one would expect.

Adam offers his thoughts on the selections of each of the picks and both of the guys break tradition and actually give a letter grade to the Seahawks for the class as a whole. With the selection of a punter in the fifth round, a lot of people were seeming to make a big deal about how the Seahawks traded up to make that selection, but the guys explain how little that criticism means at that point in the draft. In fact, they talk about how taking a player at that point in the draft may make it easier to point toward a successful 2018 draft a couple years down the road.

Some cool show news: We're now on the Amazon Echo devices! You can say, "Alexa, enable Get In the Flock" to subscribe to the show on any of your Alexa enabled devices.

Closing out the show with Do Better callouts to the NFL and the owner of the parrot who "delivered" one of Tampa's picks on the third day of the draft as well as a writer who continues to carry forward the idea of Earl Thomas going to Dallas now that the draft is over. Better at life honors go out to a producer of one of the greatest television shows of all time and to Doug Baldwin for a recent award for his work off the field this past year.

Shaquem Griffin drafted by Seattle! 2018 Seahawks Draft recap with Rob Staton and Samuel Gold Apr 30, 2018

The 2018 NFL Draft is in the books for the Seahawks and the team made worldwide news by taking Shaquem Griffin, twin brother of Shaquille Griffin, in the fifth round of the draft. Griffin was born with amniotic band syndrome and had his left hand amputated at age four. He becomes the first one-handed player drafted into the NFL.

Seattle continued their push to improve the run game by being the second team to take a running back in the draft and selecting Rashaad Penny out of San Diego State. Will Dissly became the first player from the University of Washington drafted by the Seahawks since Jerramy Stevens was taken in the first round back in 2002.

The full list of Seattle Seahawks players selected:

Rashaad Penny, RB, San Diego State
Rasheem Green, DE, USC
Will Dissly, TE, Washington
Shaquem Griffin, OLB, Central Florida
Tre Flowers, S, Oklahoma State
Michael Dickson, P, Texas
Jamarco Jones, OT, Ohio St.
Jake Martin, EDGE, Temple
Alex Mcgough, QB, Florida International

Rob Staton of seahawksdraftblog.com offers his thoughts on each of the players and talks about some of the reasoning behind some of the later round selections. Jones was a player that was expected to go sooner in the draft, but may have fallen in the draft due to some of his numbers in the combine. Martin displayed a level of toughness at Temple that would be appealing to the Seahawks. Mcgough was a player who seemed to go under the radar leading up to the draft, but had a statistic that Seattle seemed particularly intrigued by.

Samuel Gold of Sam's Film Room on Field Gulls also joined the show to talk about his upcoming breakdown video of Rashaad Penny. While Penny wasn't his second-favorite running back on the board, he did have him as the fourth best in the class. Sam said his criteria for taking a running back in the first round is that he wanted to see a complete all-around player or someone with elite running talent.

He says pass blocking is a major area of improvement for Penny. Sam also talks about Rasheem Green and the steps Green will need to take in his game to become a top defensive lineman at the professional level. He points toward one college game in particular where Green showed that playing on the interior of the defensive line might be difficult for him in the pros and why he is projected to play defensive end with the ability to move inside to rush the passer.

201: Carroll declares that Earl Thomas is a Seahawk, Rob Staton talks 2018 NFL Draft prospects on offense Apr 25, 2018

Pete Carroll was interviewed last week on 950 KJR and touched on a number of storylines that have come up throughout the offseason. The guys listen in and comment on his thoughts about looking at Josh Allen this offseason, Pete's answer to whether or not Earl Thomas will be a Seahawk in 2018 and if there's anything we should be reading into why he's not at voluntary workouts.

One of the news items from this past week was that Michael Bennett admitted to reading books during Pete's meetings. Carroll addressed that along with the reason why there have been some key departures from the team and how part of it has to do with his perception of a player's focus.

At 21:48, Rob Staton is back on the show to talk about some of the offensive prospects the Seahawks have visited with. With a shift in philosophy based on the outcome of last year's top pick, Rob thinks that Christian Kirk could be a relatively safe pick for Seattle and a guy who can have an impact at receiver and on special teams. We also revisit the offensive line and some of his favorite players that could help add to the offensive line.

Jumping back to the defensive side of the ball, where we focused primarily last week, Brandan asks Rob about a few players who were projected as top 10-15 picks a year ago. What may have caused them to fall back into the second, third and fourth rounds? Which one could be most likely to land with Seattle?

A couple weeks back, the guys looked at some of the player's draft profiles to find some questionable strengths and weaknesses. This week, they have what might be the most baffling descriptions of a player on an NFL.com scouting report.

Do better at better at life are completely non-football related, despite being just days from one of the biggest events of the NFL offseason. Adam goes off on an investment company that's more concerned about profit than curing people's health issues and Brandan calls out a billionaire who wants everyone to help him buy a bankrupt toy store. Better at life nods go out to a man who has set up a treasure hunt in the mountains and to a legendary actor who passed away recently.

The 2018 Seahawks schedule and how Seattle got one of the third worst lineups in the NFL Apr 23, 2018

After taking a couple days to take in the Seahawks schedule and compare it to other schedules throughout the league, Dave Bloomquist joins Brandan on the show to talk about his breakdown and why the Seahawks have received one of the three most difficult schedules in the NFL.

At first glance, the back end of the schedule set up nicely for Seattle, but when you consider the minor advantages given to opponents early on it may not make a difference by the end of the year. One advantage the Seahawks did get over past seasons is the weather. Traditionally the trip to Carolina happens early in the season but is much later this year.

Dave runs through his list of teams who have the top 3 most beneficial schedules. Not surprising to him was that the Patriots were one of those teams. But one of the Seahawks rivals also landed in his top 3 most favorable schedules, but it wasn't the team one might expect.

200: Seahawks big catch in free agency, a look at defensive draft visits with Rob Staton, trending toward less hoopla Apr 16, 2018

We kick off our 200th show with a big announcement. Seattle had landed what might just be the biggest catch in free agency. John Schneider has gone fishing and he landed a Seabass. It only took 200 shows for Adam to feel like the Seahawks might be tuning in to hear his thoughts on some of the most needed additions to the team.

Seattle is set to make a bunch of new additions to the team in a couple of weeks with the 2018 NFL Draft right around the corner. Rob Staton of seahawksdraftblog.com joins the show to talk about some of the college players who have visited with the Seahawks.

Rob gives his thoughts on what he thinks it would take for the Seahawks to stay put with the 18th pick and forego drafting on the second day of the draft. He also discusses his philosophy around some of the players who might not have draftable grades, but are among the names Seattle is bringing in for a private visit. That may have an impact on where these players decide to go if they are among the many undrafted free agents at the conclusion of the draft.

After the discussion with Rob, Brandan and Adam get into a couple of the biggest news items from this past week as Seattle reportedly cancels a visit with Colin Kaepernick who had been scheduled to come in for a workout. Is this a signal that the Seahawks are trending toward a team that wants less "hoopla" surrounding it? Dez Bryant was just cut by the Cowboys, so expect the talk about Earl Thomas to ramp up, because it has already started.

Do better nods go to a meth smoking child care provider in Adam's hometown and to a fortune teller who is predicting an upcoming Super Bowl for a division rival. Better at life nominees go out to NASA scientists for an experiment that could determine the future of the human race and a co-host who many of us hope never changes.

199: How routine scouting leads to rampant speculation at QB, and a look at eight potential Seahawks draft picks Apr 10, 2018

During last week's show we discussed the logical reasoning why John Schneider might be watching Wyoming QB Josh Allen throw at his pro day. Not long after, a comment about a Russell Wilson rep talking to Schneider suddenly turned into rampant speculation of Wilson's future departure from the team. The guys go back to the comment that kicked it off to discuss what could have happened to generate this wave of terrifying stories.

The guys run down some of the skill position players that the Seahawks have reportedly met with over the past few months. Quarterback Chris Streveler heads up the list and has a beard worth checking out. Of the three running backs, Ito Smith may have the best story behind how he was named, and one of the three receivers has "stick and stay" hands. They've even talked to a fullback that could help solve some of the short yardage woes we've seen from the team in past seasons.

Adam's audio while on the road cuts out right before the end of the first half of the show and so we flip over to the backup audio for the second half. We talk about a reporter who wants all of the embarrassing scores posted from the combine and people who are irresponsible when it comes to eating spicy food. Better at life honors go to a former linebacker who went into an unorthodox post-career profession and a former Buccaneers center who is living the minimalist life while touring the country with a dog named after a George Michael song.

198: It’s a reset! Not a rebuild, reboot or reload. The 2018 season - we'll see Apr 02, 2018

Seahawks General Manager John Schneider was interviewed this past week and we now have the official term for how to characterize this offseason. We were too drastic by referring to it as a Hawkpocalypse? Maybe so, although John's son Jack shares many of the same questions we fans have. With almost half of the most highly paid Seahawks players under contract for just one season left, what kind of reset could we see next season?

In the history of the team, the Seahawks have never lost more than two Pro Bowl caliber players in an offseason. But this team there will be at least three who won't return. But there were some moments in Seahawks history where the sheer number of turnover within the starting lineup was more than half from the previous season. One of those times was when Coach Carroll first arrived, another was when the team was just getting going in the late 70s.

Earl Thomas wants to be a Seahawk for life and types out a note to share online about what Seattle has meant to him. Trevonne Boykin is no longer a member of the Seahawks after some gruesome allegations, and Michael Bennett also found himself in the spotlight of law enforcement this past week after an incident during Super Bowl 51.

Adam shares a story in the do better segment this week that might turn your stomach and Brandan goes after an NFL head coach who sounds like he wants to bring back the 'No Fun League.' Better at life nods this week go to orange snow in Russia and a 36-year-old accountant who played professional hockey for the first time.

Leading up to the draft, the guys will be taking a look at several players the Seahawks have reportedly met with in the past couple months. Send in your thoughts to the show on any of the following players and we'll share them on the show:

Tony Brown, CB, Alabama

197: No, Seahawks fans, the sky isn't falling: Kenneth Arthur of Field Gulls provides a rational perspective Mar 22, 2018

The Seahawks have signed what many hope to be their most impactful free agent signing yet by bringing in D.J. Fluker. Fluker is another top draft pick from the 2013 season, and Kenneth Arthur, managing editor of Field Gulls, joins us to talk about the move along with some of his observations from the offseason to this point.

One of the things Kenneth likes best about the Fluker signing - it's better than paying top dollar for the other guards who hit the market. But the best possible outcome might be finding a guard via the draft who can ultimately take over at that position.

Despite all of the change this offseason, Kenneth says the direction of the team seems to be an approach toward sticking to the philosophy that got the team to a Super Bowl. Cutting Richard Sherman even allows them to keep last year's roster together as much as possible by allowing them to keep Dion Jordan, Justin Coleman, Bradley McDougald and potentially Byron Maxwell.

The Seahawks were at their best when they had rookies playing at a high level with contracts that were far below the value they offered. They were able to find players in that "middle class" who were able to compete and produce in ways that led them to extensions with the team. In hindsight, perhaps it would have been better to move on from those players.

We discuss the projections of the Seahawks possibly only winning six games, and Kenneth points out how a top quarterback like Phillip Rivers has been able to produce winning seasons without a lot of help around him. Even if a couple big names leave, Russell Wilson should be able to lead the Seahawks to a winning record.

Clinton Bonner joins the show to talk about some of the moves from the offseason including Luke Willson's departure. He talks about what he's going to miss most from the Wilson to Willson connection. He also has a new public access show he's starting called TNT Dynamite Thursdays that launches on Thursday.

The show closes with calls to do better for Cowboys fans who feel entitled to Earl Thomas and to Mike Freeman for a nonsensical take on how things will go for Russell Wilson this coming year. Better at life honors go to UMBC and their Twitter account manager and to a caretaker of an island off the coast of Italy.

196: Richard Sherman is still better at life than Skip Bayless Mar 17, 2018

We didn't think it would happen last offseason, and we still didn't expect it to happen this offseason, but Richard Sherman is no longer a member of the Seahawks now. What's worse is that he's actually a member of the San Francisco 49ers. A team that he seemed to have an strong sports hate for himself while Jim Harbaugh was coaching there. Adam and Brandan talk about how difficult it is to see him go there, but also with an understanding of why it made it an easy choice for him based on the circumstances.

A big cast of characters is heading out the door as we enter free agency and we give a Hunger Games style sendoff to Sherman, Deshawn Shead, Jeremy Lane, Jimmy Graham, Paul Richardson and Sheldon Richardson. As all those players head out the door there's just a few coming back through it to start free agency. The guys talk about why that is and what it could mean for the upcoming season at this point.

Because this was a tough week for so many of us, we read a few thoughts from listeners of the show and take some questions that came in via email. It really looks as though we've come to the end of an era of a historically great Seahawks defense and it opens up the doors for Pete Carroll and John Schneider to make a run at putting together another team that may be structured in a different way.

Closing out the show, Adam has words for the state of Delaware, while Brandan takes offense to athletes who are taking issue with the thoughts from fans when it comes to fan expectations this time of year. Adam memorializes one of the great theoretical physicists and Brandan explains that even as a member of the 49ers, Richard Sherman is still better at life than Skip Bayless.

195: The Hawkpocalypse of 2018 with Danny Kelly: Michael Bennett traded, Richard Sherman could be next Mar 09, 2018

Apparently the Hawkpocalypse is here and it has started with Michael Bennett being traded to the Eagles. Before that trade was announced, reports came out that Richard Sherman was saying goodbye to teammates and reports are suggesting that his release from the team is imminent. But after listening to reports that he was going to be traded last year, is this actually going to happen?

Danny Kelly of the Ringer, former editor in chief at Field Gulls, joins the show and believes that this offseason will be the end of an era in Seattle and that it's time to "reboot" the defense with a younger group of players. After the Bennett trade, playing younger players is one of the main points that seems to resonate now from John Schneider's press conference at the combine. Danny was there and talks about some of the rumors he heard there and also about Shaquem Griffin and his combine performance.

If the Seahawks do free up some cap space going into free agency, we talk about where to spend the money. Danny talks about the offensive line, a couple of top free agents the Seahawks could have their eye on and how change their scheme can help lead to success in the run game.

Adam and Brandan continue the conversation about Richard Sherman and reasons why the team may see a need to move on and talk about two big reasons why she should stay. They also discuss some of the movement in the NFC West and how the Rams defense is going to face some similar struggles in the coming years.

Brandan sides with Danny's boss at the Ringer for his "Do better" callout this week, while Adam directs his "Do better" back at Bill Simmons. Then the show closes with Better at Life honors for a Panthers running back and to Michael Bennett for his Instagram post thanking the Seahawks organization and fans.

194: NFL Combine recap with Rob Staton and analyzing potential Seattle Seahawks draft candidates Mar 05, 2018

To talk NFL combine action over the weekend, Rob Staton of seahawksdraftblog.com joins the show to talk about his takeaways from the event. Before getting to the prospects, they discuss Pete Carroll and John Schneider's press conference as well as the recent reports of the Seahawks interest to find a trade partner for Michael Bennett.

We kick off our discussion about the combine by talking about running backs and offensive line, considering the weakness of the Seahawks last year and running the football. The guys look as possible picks in the earlier rounds as well as potential players on day 3 of the draft. Rob considers running backs and interior offensive lineman a strength of this draft and Adam is happy there might be some top guards who played guard in college.

John Schneider was asked about Lamar Jackson during his press conference and Brandan and Adam speculate on why his response was somewhat intriguing and Rob offers his perspective on the range of the draft board Jackson should land. They also get into Shaquem Griffin's combine performance, and while there's a lot to be excited about there's also a key detail that shows up on tape that would be a negative for the Seahawks.

There are some underwhelming areas of talent in the draft as well. The defensive linemen didn't perform well for the most part and the wide receiver position appears to be lacking talented players who could start right away. The Seahawks also had one of the strangest stories coming out of the combine by challenging a punter to a staring competition. Is this what Coach Carroll means when he says, "always compete"?

The guys close the show with stories of an airline not honoring the achievement of some Olympic competitors and a scientist who is not a fan of sending potentially contaminated material to another planet. Better at life nods go out to a listener who made a cross-continent move recently and to a big time country singer for an incredible milestone.

193: Seahawks team needs via free agency, Russell Wilson trade talks, is P-Rich worth signing long-term Feb 26, 2018

With the new league year and free agency just a couple weeks away, this week's show focuses on how the Seahawks should approach free agency. Is it best to fill needs through free agency or trust your scouting and address the biggest needs through the draft? The guys look at the various position groups for the ones that seem to be the most critical to address this offseason. When looking at the offensive line, it seems as though there's still a spot on this team for George Fant even with Tom Cable now in Oakland, but Adam doesn't want to admit it.

There was a recent article by a Seattle reporter and national analyst toying with the idea that the Seahawks should consider trading Russell Wilson. With that in mind, the guys mock up a phone call between the general managers of the Browns and Seahawks. (31:57)

How the Seahawks approach free agency will also be dependent on how they view their chances at getting compensatory picks in the 2019 draft. Brandan talks about which Seahawks free agents could net Seattle some compensatory picks next year if they move on in free agency.

Corbin Smith, co-host of the Legion of 12 Radio podcast and contributor to The Seahawks Wire, joins the show this week to talk about the trade of Marcus Peters to the division rival L.A. Rams. With Trumaine Johnson looking like he'll be moving on, how much better are the Rams going to be with Peters? Paul Richardson and Jimmy Graham are two big names on offense who could both be on other teams in 2018. Corbin talks about some of the things Seattle would be missing if Richardson leaves, and he talks about the salary the Seahawks would want to consider to keep him on the team. If Graham leaves, he has thoughts on who might be worth an incentive-based contract to lure to Seattle. Follow Corbin on Twitter @CorbinSmithNFL. (41:50)

Closing out the show, our Flock sends in some emails with some thoughts on offseason show ideas. In the do better segment, Adam talks about one airline that made an emergency landing because of a gassy passenger and Brandan talks about the conclusion of his appliance experience. Another SpaceX launch earns Adam's better at life nod, while the USA Women's hockey team and their gold medal victory has Brandan feeling as though some revenge was earned against Canada.

192: The end of the LOB, franchise tag candidates, analyzing the Schottenheimer offense Feb 19, 2018

The Seahawks will have the opportunity to use their franchise tag as early as this week. Who are some of the players who the team might target? The guys look at some recent metrics on the pass rush as well as the running game. They also discuss the interest among media to try and break up the Legion of Boom as the story lines around Kam Chancellor, Earl Thomas and Richard Sherman are now clear going through the offseason.

Samuel Gold breaks down the Brian Schottenheimer offense after taking a look at game tape from when he was the offensive coordinator for the 2014 St. Louis Rams. Gold talks about the things he disliked from the offensive line in terms of the zone blocking scheme and ways that could improve this coming season.

Sam talks about Jimmy Graham and the marginal difference in cost between what Graham could command versus bringing in another player to fill his shoes. The guys run through the top names among free agents on the offensive line, which doesn't take long. Sam also gets into some of his favorite running backs in the 2018 draft and a name that could interest the Seahawks with their first pick.

After the interview, Adam explains why the Seahawks need to go fishing and how the Seahawks could fix one of the biggest problems for team in 2017. A trip to Prisco's World discusses one of the most ridiculous exercises analysists can go through in February.

Closing out the show, the guys take to task a YouTube commenter for his flat earth advocacy and Trout Unlimited for promoting fake outrage after a Super Bowl commercial. Better at life nods go to a girl scout for camping out at one of the top cookie selling locations of all time and to a pair of Seattle residents for leading an effort to fight hunger in Western Washington.

191: Early Seahawks draft candidates, grading the 2017 NFC West draft classes, Wilson traded to the Yankees Feb 12, 2018

The biggest news of the week seems to be the Russell Wilson trade from the Rangers to the New York Yankees. With media speculation about how this could impact the Seahawks, Adam and Brandan talk about how this will in no way have an impact and the reasons why.

With the NFL Combine approaching, Rob Staton of seahawksdraftblog.com joins us for the first time this offseason and covers a lot of ground with some of his top picks from the Senior Bowl to join the Seahawks. He talks about what it would likely take in terms of personnel moves to get the John Schneider to stick with the 18th pick overall. Considering the amount of talent among running backs this year, Rob advocates for taking a guy in the first two rounds to get a player with top tier talent.

To help Seahawks fans enjoy the Combine, Rob explains some of the things to look for while watching the event to try and identify players the Seahawks might be interested in. He explains the measurements among running backs to key in on, watching the mirror drills with the offensive linemen, and the importance Seattle places on the short shuttle for linebackers.

A recent article talks about the Seahawks 2017 draft and gives Seattle a C grade. The guys talk about what the criteria should be for grading a draft at this point. Seattle clearly deserves higher, but one other team in the NFC West clearly did better than the others.

Prize winners for the pick'em league are announced along with their prizes. Both Adam and Brandan find out that customer service representatives from two different companies are putting off work to their customers that the companies should be doing themselves. We get into some emails before do better shots go to a rodent killer boarding a plane and the Colts general manager. Better at life nods go to the scientists behind "super wood" and to a Washington product for his level of preparation leading up to the Super Bowl.

190: Red Zone outlook for 2018, three free agency moves to sign the best available lineman, regrets with Pinterest Feb 04, 2018

We look back and look ahead in this week's show. First we start by congratulating the Philadelphia Eagles on their Super Bowl title over the Patriots. Adam believes he may be living in some alternate reality. We then look back at some of the worst free agent moves in Seattle's history, especially considering how the 2017 free agency period went. Looking ahead, we talk about the red zone production for the Seahawks and how that could potentially change in 2018 with the departure of Jimmy Graham.

Evan Hill from Hawkblogger.com joins the show this week to talk about the likelihood that Seattle's primary defensive players should be with the team next season. Considering Sheldon Richardson could command top dollar, there are also some significant risks and we talk about why compensatory picks could play a role. With his latest article, Evan talks about why it's important to have rookies who can fill the role of the "middle class" players teams pick up or re-sign in free agency.

We talk about three moves that the Seahawks could make to sign the best available guard in free agency and how some of the details of Justin Britt's contract leads Evan to believe that trading him could make sense as part of an offensive line shakeup. Finally, he breaks down the three goals the Seahawks should focus on this offseason.

In the second half of the show, we celebrate an upcoming milestone by laying out a big bet that could impact the future of the podcast. Do better goes to Pinterest and Kodak, while an organization gets credit for making things better for fans on game day and Richard Sherman saves his grandmother from a potential financial disaster.

189: Seahawks could replicate 2017 Vikings success, why establishing the run is a myth, and Mad Mike is ready to launch Jan 29, 2018

As the Seahawks launch into the offseason with a clear goal of running the football better, this week we look at a team who made some dramatic shifts on offense a year ago and ended up playing for a chance at the Super Bowl this year. Adam and Brandan explore if Seattle has the same ability to make the kind of changes that can help make it so just about any running back can have success. They even explore a couple free agent prospects depending on the type of direction the team may want to go.

Now that Tom Cable is in Oakland, are there any Seahawks players he might want to bring with him? Germaine Ifedi and Justin Britt would be two clear candidates and there is a relationship between the two teams to make things happen. Mock draft season is kicking off and two of the more prominent names in the media have seemed to agree on the narrative we'll be hearing from the national media on how the Seahawks should approach the draft.

To talk about the Seahawks run game and a common myth held in the NFL, Sean Clement joins the show to talk about one of his latest articles on Field Gulls. Sean did a statistical analysis on running plays in the NFL to dispel the idea that teams can "establish the run" in the way that short gains early on end up turning into bigger gains later in the game. It doesn't mean teams shouldn't run the ball, but it does mean that you should be good at running the ball to have an impact at any point during the game.

In the second half of the show, the guys talk about more coaching changes announced this past week. The pick'em league wraps up this coming week, but while it looks like the top spot is already locked up there is still a big prize on the table for second place. Tune in to find out who needs to 'do better' this week and why a Giants receiver and the brother of a Seahawks player are 'better at life.'

188: More coaching changes, how Cable's departure impacts the offensive line, and the worst part of mock draft season Jan 21, 2018

A major shakeup in terms of the number of coaches turned over in the past week for the Seahawks, but we explore whether it really is a major overhaul in terms of philosophy for the team. Adam and Brandan discuss some of the major similarities with the new coaches compared to the former coaches who held the position. Brian Schottenheimer replaces Darrell Bevell, Mike Solari is in for Tom Cable and Ken Norton Jr. returns to the team to take over for Kris Richard. Adam explains why he is two-thirds excited over these changes.

Keith Myers of 12th Man Rising and co-host of the Hawks Playbook podcast joins the show to talk about the departure of Tom Cable and the impact he had on the offensive line during his tenure with the Seahawks. He also offers his thoughts on Mike Solari and why he's excited about the Seahawks going back to the coach who held the job during two of the worst Seahawks seasons in recent history.

The Seahawks have their first arrest of the offseason as Jeremy Lane expresses his surprise that people can get a DUI for substances other than alcohol. The guys discuss the idea of having toxicity brackets considering how terrible some people are at driving even when they are sober.

Looking way ahead to 2018, there is already a game for fans to mark on their calendar as the Seahawks are set to take on the Oakland Raiders in Week 6 in London. The guys talk about some of the logistics associated with the game and all of the excitement among fans overseas surrounding the game.

A note to mock draft headline writers and writers who express surprise over the crazy things that happen during their personal mock drafts. And how the NFL rules committee needed to do better leading into the playoffs to get away from meaningless moments after games end in spectacular fashion. The guys close the show by honoring Cliff Avril's passion to return to the field and to Vikings fans for recognizing an act of sportsmanship in their big win over the Saints.

187: Coaching changes, optimism among position groups heading to 2018, potential Seahawks OC candidates Jan 12, 2018

Big news this week for the Seahawks as offensive coordinator Darrell Bevel and Tom Cable both let go by the Seahawks. This week's show focuses primarily on the change at offensive coordinator and some potential names that have been discussed immediately after the news came out. Adam talks about a candidate he likes who coaches running backs for the Titans while Brandan looks at a quarterback coach of a division rival.

After venting last week, the guys come back toward looking ahead for some reasons for optimism at the various position groups with a focus primarily on younger players, but also some veterans who are at the core of this Seahawks team. Pete Carroll gave his end-of-season press conference recently and the guys reference how some of the comments from the head coach are important clues to how he seems this team moving forward. One name on defense may come as a surprise to be included in the top three, and on the offensive side of the football two names at running back were likely left off his list intentionally.

Looking at some NFL and college football, we take a trip to Prisco's World this week for some of his comments made following Alabama's overtime win in the final playoff game. Adam also offers his thoughts on the latest ESPN article on the Patriots.

After some talk about the Divisional Round matchups, a look at standings in the pick'em league and email questions, the guys get into the final two segments of the show. A pair of Cleveland Browns players need to lighten up and do better, and Adam explains how the Rams owner clearly doesn't know what it means to have a home field advantage. Marcus Mariota get a better at life nomination for his big play against the Chiefs.

186: A fitting end to the Seahawks season, venting the anger from what went wrong in 2017, and possible changes ahead in Seattle Jan 05, 2018

Pete Carroll called this Sunday's game against the Cardinals a microcosm of the season. Because he's absolutely right the brief overview of this game ends up leading into some of the major complaints for the season as a whole. Adam and Brandan attempt to dissect where some of the major grips are, and recognizing that this team still went 9-7 shows how the situation isn't as dire as many would suggest. Especially when you consider the circumstances of injuries and 3-4 kicks that contributed to missing the postseason.

Brandan recognizes that while it wasn't a "championship caliber" team at the end of the season, it was still a team that could rise up and get a win. Looking at how the team played from the first half of games to the second halves of games demonstrated there isn't an issue with talent on the team and how it must some different aspects of coaching or team mentality.

Michael Bennett told the Tacoma News Tribune that he doesn't expect to be back next season. The guys offer their reaction and look ahead at the players under contract that could be salary cap casualties as well as the guys on the list who are set to become free agents. The first half of the show ends with an email from Brett in Sydney who offers some of his least favorite moves from the front office in 2017.

In the second half of the show, the guys take a look at how sports hate impacts their rooting interest for the playoffs. Which teams can they potentially get behind for making a run at the Super Bowl and which are the least favorable options.

They run down the pick'em league leaderboard and congratulate last week's winners and remind people to continue to make their picks throughout the playoffs. Last year it came down to the final game. Adam singles out the Cincinnati Bengals this week and calls them out to do better, and the guys honor Bills fans and an anonymous developer that makes Adam's life better.

185: Seahawks spoil Zeke's return to Cowboys, Seattle in playoffs with a win and Atlanta loss, and potential Wild Card match ups Dec 28, 2017

Though the final offensive statistics weren't what we've come to expect from a Seahawks team, this 21-12 victory over the Cowboys reminded both Adam and Brandan of a version of this Seattle team from recent history. Russell Wilson didn't need to put it in the air 30-40 times to get a win, instead they kept it on the ground and grinded out 30 runs while getting takeaways from the defense to secure the win.

The run defense returned to help slow down Elliot's return to the Cowboys and it successfully ended any playoff chance for Dallas this season. Yet, Earl Thomas was caught on camera campaigning for his favorite team growing up to come get him.

Needing a victory over the Cardinals at home and a Falcons loss to the Panthers, the guys look ahead not just to the Arizona game but potential playoff opponents. Two options Adam doesn't want, one that he's okay with, and one that both guys really, really want to see happen in the Wild Card round.

In the second half of the show the guys check in on Russell Wilson's MVP chances and look at the players who were selected for the Pro Bowl as well as the alternates. Do better nods go to retail store check writers and announcers who sound as though they're overtly cheering for a particular team. Better at life nods go out to those who helped make Santa magic happen and to a former Seahawks defensive tackle for a kind deed on Christmas Eve.

184: Seahawks can still win the West after historic loss, other playoff scenarios and Santa is a Cowboys fan Dec 21, 2017

Even after a loss to the division rival, it turns out that the Seahawks can still win the division. If that's the case, why are people ready to throw in the towel, not just on the season but seemingly throw in the towel on the future potential of this team. Adam and Brandan put the loss to the Rams in historical context. With that context, it may be easier to understand why some Seahawks fans seem to be losing their mind.

Brandan turns to the playoff generator to look at the scenarios out there that allow the Seahawks to get into the playoffs. The Cowboys find themselves in a similar situation. Does a win this week by either team just delay the inevitable disappointment the following week?

It's a big week for Dallas, because their star running back is coming back from his suspension and he's probably going to be running angry. But will he enter the game without his top offensive lineman blocking for him? The guys look at the Cowboys injury situation. Because Santa is a Cowboys fan, Adam decided to sit on his lap prior to the game this week. Hear about where there may or may not be limitations to Santa's magic and what Adam's backup plan should be for the wishes he's asking Santa for.

Closing out the show, the guys read emails and take a look at the catch rule which leads to two "Do Better" nominations. Better at life nods go out to the creator of Adam's new favorite commercial and to our members of the flock who helped contribute more than $1,000 to various charities this year.

183: Frustration among players and fans, linebackers will play a key role in the NFC West showdown, and Fox was holding Rams fan auditions Dec 15, 2017

If there's any lingering frustration after the Seahawks 30-24 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, let's get it all out now. Adam and Brandan read through comments from The Flock following the game that hit all of the major points of frustration. But perhaps it's not the team to blame, maybe it's one of our listeners who is 0-4 when he's not able to watch the games live. No matter what happens, he's pledging to watch the upcoming game against the Rams live.

Whether you're a Seahawks player or a fan, it's likely this Jaguars team was under your skin a bit. Adam says there's a specific year of Seahawks team that he compares the Jaguars defense to (and no it's not the defense that ended up winning the Super Bowl in the 2013 season). Even though this could have given the team a key game toward a spot in the playoffs, Seattle did get some help from a previous opponent. The guys talk about how small the margin of error now is for the team moving forward.

Looking ahead to Sunday's game against the Rams, there are two key players we're waiting to hear the status on: Bobby Wagner and K.J. Wright. These guys were a big reason why Todd Gurley was kept in check in the previous meeting between the two teams earlier in the season. But things have changed for both of these teams. The Rams defense has shown a lot more consistency and the Seahawks offensive line has improved greatly. Seattle may even have more of a running game at this point in the season.

In the second half of the show, the guys talk about some of the news from Patreon that may have impacted some of our members of The Flock. Before getting into their "do better" call outs from the past week, it's important to recognize that we won't be seeing a few analysts from NFL Network on the air after allegations of sexual misconduct were reported this last week. Adam suggests a possible campaign of solidarity for men to rally around.

In the final portion of the show, Brandan talks about how it must be difficult to find Rams fans in Los Angeles, with a possible explanation of how we may just not understand the culture of or NFC West rivals. Adam finds himself looking in the mirror after discovering a bonehead mistake he made while working on his vehicle. Better at life nods this week go to Doug Baldwin and to a Seahawks equipment manager who may have prevented a disaster.

182: An "unfair" rule and lateral physics help the Seahawks take down the Eagles, Russell Wilson faces the NFL's top defense, and Prisco Awakens Dec 06, 2017

With the Philadelphia Eagles coming into town this past week, Seahawks fans heard over and over how their opposition put up more points in the first quarter than any other team. Not only that, but their opponents had yet to score a first quarter touchdown. Seattle put an end to that streak and got out to a 10-0 lead in the first quarter, which turned the tables on the Eagles who had to try and come back from a 17-3 deficit by the 3rd quarter.

Timely penalties by the Eagles defense helped keep the Seahawks on the field along with a lateral pass that has stirred up some controversy (because the Seahawks can't win in prime time without it). And Seattle's defense once again forced a fumble that went out the back of the end zone to help keep points off the board. It was a tremendous defensive performance and a reminder to anyone that might consider doubting the capabilities of a team down three Pro Bowl starters.

Next up, the Seahawks head down to Jacksonville as the guys talk about some things to consider when Russell Wilson goes up against the NFL's top scoring defense and a league leading passing defense. The formula for taking down the Jaguars isn't much different than the one they've used in the past in wins against the Eagles and Rams.

After the break, Brandan touches a nerve with Adam when asking about his favorite Christmas carols after spending the weekend at the mall. They talk about who needs to do better after watching some dirty plays throughout the NFL this weekend. Finally, better at life nods go to an eccentric billionaire who is launching a vehicle into space and we take a trip to Prisco's World as someone unexpectedly calls for our quarterback to be considered in the MVP discussion.

181: Russell's campaign for MVP, Lacy shows his style in 49ers victory, Seahawks make up names to add to o-line depth Nov 30, 2017

With the win over the San Francisco 49ers, Russell Wilson passed another big milestone as the winningest quarterback in NFL history through his first six seasons. He also became the fastest players to throw for 150 touchdowns and rush for 3,000 yards. That puts him up with only seven other NFL players in history to hit those numbers and half of the retired players on that list are in the Hall of Fame.

Bobby Wagner had another big game with an incredible interception and it was also a big day for tight ends. Nick Vannett caught his first touchdown pass in the NFL and Jimmy Graham now has more touchdown catches than any other Seahawks tight end in team history. Adam and Brandan talk about how much fun the tight ends room must be at the team facility and how it compares to the receiver's room.

Looking ahead to the matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles, the guys talk about what the Eagles do well, including the talk of Carson Wentz and his MVP potential. The Eagles are top in the league when it comes to run defense and their also near the top with their run game on offense. Adam talks about why their team strengths match up well for Seattle considering the Seahawks strengths to this point in the season.

In the second half of the show the guys talk about some injury updates and how the Jacksonville game was flexed to the afternoon. Now the Seahawks have no games at 10am PT this season. There was one questionable transaction as the Seahawks appear to be making names up of offensive lineman to the practice squad.

After reading some emails and Facebook posts, Adam tells Apple why they need to do better and Brandan talks about a drone pilot arrested near the game this weekend. Better at life honors go to scientists for proving the correct way to have toilet paper on the roll and to Russell Wilson as we cheer him on down the stretch this season.

180: Climbing the ladder of accountability after the Falcons loss, records could fall vs the 49ers, and a limo driver who decides to drive a rocket Nov 23, 2017

The Seahawks come up a couple feet short from tying the game at the end of regulation and end up losing 34-31 to the Falcons. Seattle has now lost in back-to-back games at home and yet they're still in position to win the NFC West. Adam and Brandan analyze all of the areas in this game where things went wrong and also look at what went right for Seattle. Russell Wilson had some more incredible plays and Tyler Lockett made the highlight reels with his kick returns.

One thing we're not talking about after the Atlanta game is how the loss of Chancellor and Sherman ultimately didn't seem to be the difference to costing the game. There were so many other factors that contributed, including speculation of why Thomas Rawls has to sit out a game so Eddie Lacy can get a couple snaps in this game.

The San Francisco 49ers are coming off their bye, and while many speculated how it would be a perfect time for newly acquired quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to make his debut, it looks like Beathard will continue to start. The guys talk about some potential records that could fall this week and discuss one of the most noticeable differences between the Seahawks and the NFL's top teams.

Happy Thanksgiving to all the listeners as we talk about our Thursday game picks and congratulate the top teams from the previous week. This upcoming week is going to be difficult for people to gain ground because there are so many heavy favorites.

A pair of coaches get called out in the Do Better segment this week after the Bills coach shows he made a terrible mistake and Bruce Arians of the Cardinals owns a mistake only to turn right around and brag about how he made a great call and it was his players who screwed up. Finally, better at life honors go to a former Oklahoma Sooners basketball player for how she handled an interaction on Twitter and to a flat Earther turned rocket scientist who looks to make history on Saturday.

179: Russell Wilson's pirouettes highlight victory against Arizona, Seahawks look to continue big streak against the Falcons, and how Sherman's injury impacts playoff chances Nov 16, 2017

Now that it's been a full week since last Thursday's game, Brandan and Adam discuss the Seahawks win over the Arizona Cardinals. The primetime game gave Russell Wilson a chance to shine in the national spotlight and he took advantage by breaking out a double-pirouette move on a throw to Doug Baldwin that ultimately resulted in a touchdown to Wilson's new favorite end zone target.

The play also caught the attention of Pete Prisco, a CBS analyst who has always said Russell Wilson is "good not great," so we take a trip to Prisco's World to see what Pete thought about Wilson latest magic show. Turns out Prisco likes a metric that should have him reconsidering how he categorizes the Seahawks quarterback.

Richard Sherman is out for the season and there's a big question about how the team's secondary will look without their elite cornerback. The guys discuss how the injury shouldn't have the same impact that Earl Thomas' injury did last year, but it's still no guarantee that it doesn't have an impact on where we'd like to see the Seahawks go this season.

The Atlanta Falcons come to town riding high on their victory over the Dallas Cowboys. The Falcons pass rush really got after Dak Prescott, including a six-sack performance by Adrian Clayborn. What does that mean for Wilson, the Seahawks offensive line and what can the team do to slow them down?

In the second half of the show, the guys continue the discussion about Byron Maxwell's return to Seattle and a listener emails in a quote from Doug Baldwin and his thoughts on Thursday Night Football. Do better shots go to the Vikings GM this week and to a fan of another team that Adam accuses of caring way too much. Better at life picks this week go to a former NFL player who has a goal to help players manage pain in a more natural way and to Teddy Bridgewater for his return to the NFL sidelines.

178: Home loss has fans hitting the midseason panic button, players to watch rebound versus the Cardinals Nov 09, 2017

Sunday's loss is probably going to be one of those games that sticks with Seahawks fans for the rest of the season. It was a game, much like a game against the Cardinals last year, where it looked like a win was imminent. The closer the team gets to the postseason, the more it looks like the game will have a big impact on how the playoff picture shapes up. This seems like it will be that game for the 2017 season.

Adam and Brandan take a look at all of the areas or players fans are pointing blame toward after this game. And they react to fans who are ready to push the panic button after a game where it was clear who the more talented football team was on the field. Brandan takes a chunk of the blame for clearly jinxing the team on last week's show.

With the short week, it's already time for the player to get right back into game mode and they face off against a familiar opponent. Though the Cardinals are familiar, it's going to be a much different look with Carson Palmer and David Johnson on the bench. Instead they're facing Drew Stanton and Adrian Peterson. Adam explains how this sets game sets up well for the Seahawks to bounce back after a tough loss.

In the second half of the show, another listener takes some blame for the loss, although it's for a very good reason. This week Adam goes after a prominent NFL owner in the "do better" segment, while Brandan explains why Seahawks fans shouldn't be fooled about the way a stats guy says the end of the game should have played out. Better at life honors go to a former Martian and the James Bond of Philadelphia media.

177: NFL Game of the Year edition, Seahawks trade for Texans All-Pro tackle and help Watson join elite QB trio Nov 01, 2017

The Seahawks make a big move at the trade deadline to get an All-Pro caliber offensive lineman as Duane Brown comes to the team. Seattle gives up a couple of high draft picks and end up keeping Jeremy Lane after he fails a physical. Brandan is baffled that the Texans would find a way to send him back to Seattle, especially considering the outcome of what may have been the best NFL game to watch this year. The Seahawks and Texans battled back and forth the entire game. Seattle was the only team with back-to-back scores and Russell Wilson accumulates another "stat."

Although the Seahawks defense gave up nearly 40 points, there were some noteworthy performances on the defensive line and multiple interceptions by the Legion of Boom helped Russell Wilson and the offense to rack up enough points in a shootout nobody could have predicted. The guys talk about Deshaun Watson and how he deserves praise for the kind of performance that even veteran quarterbacks haven't been able to achieve in Seattle.

The guys look ahead to Sunday's upcoming game against Washington, offer a look at their talent that Seattle fans should be aware of and discuss why the condition their opponent's offensive line has Adam wishing for the perfect weather to give Kirk Cousins something to look forward to.

In the second half of the show, Brandan gives a mid-season update on the bet with the Rams Podcast. There's a new patch donated from a member of the flock to go out to podcast listeners and a new prize to offer up to the pick'em league champion. Do better nods this week go out to an Ad Council commercial that features some creepy cutaways and to the national media for not giving the Seahawks the appropriate level of attention after their latest win.

To close out the show, Brandan gives a better at life award to the Texans quarterback for joining an elite trio of quarterbacks and Adam professes his love to the Seahawks general manager for doing something about an issue he's been complaining about for a while.

176: Sexy deep ball hat trick takes down the Giants, Seahawks add a Hall of Famer, top rookie QB to visit the CLink Oct 26, 2017

After a 24-7 victory over the New York Giants, the Seattle Seahawks return home to Seattle for a two-game home stand. What the defense has shown in the last two road games is exactly what many fans expected from this team. Brandan and Adam talk about some of the top performances on defense and look at what happened on offense that led to a 7-3 halftime deficit.

But the offense rallied in the second half, led by a three sexy deep balls thrown by Russell Wilson. Doug Baldwin hauled in one for a touchdown, which put him into the top three scoring receivers in team history. Yet, he'll probably be remembered more for pushing Coach Cable in this game instead of his big catches. The guys offer their perspective and why Coach Carroll is taking the blame.

Dwight Freeney, a future Hall of Fame pass rusher was signed by the Seahawks this week. A shocker to nobody, Adam thinks the money could have been used elsewhere. Brandan talks about how he expects Freeney to be used situationally and how he can still make a difference.

The Houston Texans are coming into Seattle with a quarterback who is on pace to have one of the top rookie seasons in NFL history. Brandan appears to jinx the Seahawks by mentioning a huge winning streak by Russell Wilson, but fortunately he also jinxes the Texans by mentioning a streak their coach has going for the team. Considering how the Texans have operated through the first few weeks, Brandan thinks there's one player on defense who is clearly set to have a big day.

In the final segment of the show, the guys talk about their trip to New York and some of the members of the flock they came across while on the road. Do better nods go out to Arizona Cardinals fans and a guy in Adam's current town who ended up in the slammer. Better at life honors go to a Chicago Bears player who celebrated an anniversary with a new NFL record and to a pair of boxers who had an unusual pre-fight encounter.

175: Pete Carroll says it was great to see the Giants at their best, spotlight on possible o-line moves over the bye, NYC Meetup Oct 19, 2017

With the Seahawks coming off their bye week, Adam and Brandan take a look around the NFC West to see how the rest of the division fared while the team was resting up. No new injuries came to light, but we did hear an updated timeline for Luke Joeckel. The guys discuss what that will mean for the offensive line until he can return.

The New York Giants are returning back home after a big win over the Denver Broncos. After losing four of their receivers, including Odell Beckham Jr, their rookie tight end emerged as Eli Manning's top target. Orleans Darkwa was also a big part of the Giants win along with a big game from Jason Pierre-Paul and Janoris Jenkins on defense. Pete Carroll commented on how it was great to see this Giants team playing at its best and that there was a lot they could gain from watching it.

With the upcoming game against the Giants, we highlight one of the top Seahawks bars in the country by bringing on Patrick Shalvoy. Patrick was the bartender there who helped make it a destination for all Seahawks fans on Sunday. After getting things established in 2009, he shares the story of the moment the bar solidified itself as a place where Seahawks fans will always have a home. He also shares his story about how fans and bar patrons rallied around him after a stroke nearly took his life.

In the last portion of the show, we get an update from a member of the flock who has Adam's favorite catch phrase resonating through the Pentagon. Do better nods go to Skip Bayless as well as anyone crying about a play that continues to emphasize the importance of ball security near the goal line.

The guys talk about a former Seahawks lineman who gets an honorary Better at Life nomination from Washington's Lieutenant Governor. Adam recognizes a former Lakers legend for doing the right thing when Skip Bayless wasn't, and Brandan recognizes a big milestone for any fans of cryptozoology.

174: Seahawks earn a road victory vs Rams, Cardinals trying to stay competitive, and Earl Thomas credits a legend Oct 12, 2017

Four turnovers by the Seahawks defense helped to keep Seattle in the game and ultimately earn the victory over the L.A. Rams. But we shouldn't be too quick to call them the best performing unit for the Seahawks on Sunday. The guys offer the critique on why the defense doesn't get all of the credit and what is keeping them from being comparable to the 2013 Seattle defense that helped to win it all.

It was another week where the running game couldn't get going, which has Adam thinking of other ways to move the offense. There's a running back tandem that he's interested in pairing in the backfield and neither Thomas Rawls or Eddie Lacy are involved.

One running back the Seahawks showed interest in this offseason is now going to the Cardinals. What does this mean for our NFC West rivals moving forward? Can Adrian Peterson be the piece they need to stay competitive in the division? As the one team in the division Seattle hasn't faced, the guys take a look at Arizona along with the other upcoming teams and talk about why picking games in April is a wasted effort.

In the second half of the show, the guys announce the leaders of the pick'em league, a listener scolds Brandan for ruining a bake sale and they talk about the latest article from Jenny Goos. One guy defending Cam Newton after last week was John Moffitt and Jenny was not impressed with how he doubled down on Cam's statement.

Who needs to do better this week? CBS for their apparent problem with geography and to the Dolphins former coach who has a strange way of professing his love for a woman in his life. Better at life goes to a scientist's work toward predicting future volcanic activity and Earl Thomas shares his nomination with someone he credited for helping him master a move that is helping the Seahawks win games.

173: Russell Wilson's emotion highlighted in win over Indy, Rams offense leading the NFL, and fulfilling a HOFer's request Oct 06, 2017

It's a Seahawks blowout on Sunday Night Football as the Seahawks get the 46-18 win, but it's important to remind ourselves that the Seahawks were tied with 20 minutes left in this game. It wasn't until Russell Wilson showed some emotion getting into the end zone that it seemed to propel the team in the second half.

While it's a bit cliché to refer to football as a game of inches, we saw why in this game. Every inch seemed to go Indy's way in the first half, and Seattle ended up getting those same breaks in the second half. Last week, we talked about Justin Coleman's absence since seeing him take over for Jeremy Lane in game one. Now Coleman has earned a new nickname thanks to some help from Jacoby Brissett in reuniting the young corner with his family.

This is the week to say CATFISH the Rams. Los Angeles is leading the NFL in points and has been very productive on offense early on this season. With injuries stacking up after last week's game, the guys look at who has been practicing and who will be out. Rees Odhiambo had a scary injury against the Colts and incredibly looks like he's on his way to play in the game against the Rams.

Adam points out how this is a different Rams team this year. This will be the first time in many years the Seahawks face this team without Jeff Fisher leading the team. The defense continues to be scary, but the guys talk about one weakness that teams have been exploiting throughout the first quarter of the season this year.

In the second half of the show the guys welcome some new members of the flock and Brandan talks about his experience at the game this past Sunday. Brandan calls out a member of the flock who needs to do better, and Adam has words for Cam Newton who embarrassed himself with his comments to a female reporter this week. Better at life honors go out to Jon Ryan's wife for giving us one more reason to root for a Seahawks win and to a section in the stadium who helped accomplish something that Hall of Fame safety Kenny Easley wanted to see this weekend.

172: HOF tackle Walter Jones interview, another slow start for the offense, Seahawks to retire Easley's number on Sunday Sep 28, 2017

Hall of Fame offensive lineman Walter Jones joins the show this week to offer his thoughts on the Seahawks game with the Tennessee Titans and the team as the whole through the first few weeks in the season. He talks about FanCom, a new service coming online this weekend to allow fans to interact with NFL greats.

Before the interview Adam and Brandan discuss what happened in the game against the Titans, what the team needs to do to get back on track and the reason why our offensive coordinator has difficultly calling a game before the last couple minutes of the first half. For the first time this year, fans had reason to be concerned about the defense, but there is a comparison to last year that should tell us that everything will be fine.

Seattle returns home to take on the Indianapolis Colts who defeated the Browns last week. Andrew Luck is out, but their other quarterback seems to have a finger firmly in control of the circle button.

Kenny Easley will have his jersey number retired at the game this weekend, and he's asked for fans to bring back the wave for at least one game. Adam makes Brandan promise to have words with any fan not following through on the Hall of Famers wishes.

In the second half of the show, Adam's Do Better and Better at Life both have to do with his latest travels on the road. Brandan talks about how political issues mixing with sports can sometimes make political reporters sound out of touch with sports fans, while all the Matt's are 'Better at Life' this week.

171: Chris Carson flashes in victory over 49ers, Seahawks LOB vs Titans Exotic Smashmouth, and Sam Gold of NFLbreakdowns.com Sep 20, 2017

The Seattle Seahawks have eight straight wins in their home opener in the Pete Carroll era, eight straight wins over the 49ers, and we've enduring eight straight quarters of football that has been difficult to watch in terms of the offense. While the issue seemed clear last week, it seems as though there's more to be concerned about after the latest win.

But are we as down on the team this week if two players don't drop touchdown catches? Would we be as concerned if Carlos Hyde didn't break two big runs on the defense? Adam and Brandan sort through where some of the real concerns are and if this is just something that's normal for the start of a Seahawks season.

Apart from the two long runs, the defense stifled the 49ers offense and held Brian Hoyer under 100 yards passing. They almost added a safety, but the refs ruled that Hoyer's "forward progress" kept him out of the end zone. Brandan talks about the "rule snobs" that come out on Twitter when you show any weakness in knowing the NFL rule book.

The guys look ahead to the matchup with the Titans. They break down a term fans might hear a lot this upcoming week, "exotic smashmouth." But what does that mean to play that style of football? While the Seahawks defense is equipped to go up against any offense, the Titans defense offers similar strengths and vulnerabilities to the Packers team they faced in Week 1.

Sam Gold, founder of NFL Breakdowns and staff writer for Field Gulls, joins the show this week to talk about two big components of the Seattle offense: the zone read and the wide receiver screens.

The NFL gets a "Do Better" this week for mistakes that were made in pulling together nominees for the 2018 Hall of Fame class and

Better at life honors go to former Seahawks receiver Golden Tate for reminding a fan about the reality of football and to Paul Allen who celebrated 20 years of taking ownership of the Seahawks and his role in keeping the team in Seattle.

170: Pete Carroll's defense shines even in a losing effort, Rawls is back vs 49ers, and Michael Bennett's incident in Vegas Sep 14, 2017

Seattle drops its first game of the 2017 season after going into Lambeau Field and losing 17-9 to the Green Bay Packers. Despite the Seahawks remaining winless there since 1999, fans had a lot of reason for optimism after seeing how the defense performed against one of the league's top teams and top quarterback. The Seahawks defense nearly got the team its first points on an Aaron Rodgers interception by rookie Naz Jones. But the play was called back because of a pair of penalties, one that got Jeremy Lane ejected from the game less than 10 defensive snaps into the game.

The ejection gave Pete Carroll and the Seahawks an long look at rookie Shaquille Griffin and slot corner Justin Coleman. Both seemed to complement a squad stacked with Pro Bowl defenders. Former Jets defensive lineman Sheldon Richardson played like the interior defender the Seahawks have been looking for. The guys talk about the historic defense Pete Carroll grew up watching and how that might play a role in his continued pursuit toward producing an all-time defensive unit.

While penalties did play a role in this game, it wasn't the reason they lost. Adam and Brandan talk about the plays that would have allowed Seattle to come away with a victory.

Coming back home to play a 49ers team that also struggled to move the ball should give them a good chance to get in win column. Which team can fix their offensive line issues enough in time for Sunday will have an edge over the competition. The talent differential between these two teams is a big gap to overcome for the 49ers and first-year head coach Kyle Shanahan. Adam talks about how the vistitng coaches gutsy nature could factor into the game.

After last week's show, we learned details from an incident Michael Bennett was involved with in Las Vegas a couple weeks back. The guys share some clips of the press conference from Las Vegas police and some of the stories players shared during their talks with local media.

Do better callouts this week go to a team that reminds Brandan of his kids' poor habit of not listening the first time as Adam calls out a sideline reporter. Better at life nods go to a retired piece of technology and a reporter who recognizes a Spokane couple married for 75 years with names matching two devastating hurricanes.

169: Sheldon Richardson joins a stacked d-line, Packers preview, and a Jermaine Kearse tribute Sep 07, 2017

During last week's show, Adam and Brandan talked about how John Schneider would look at talent across the league to make some additions. In turns out that he wanted to make a much bigger splash than the usual additions of some fringe players on the roster. The Seahawks send Jermaine Kearse and a second round pick to the New York Jets for Pro Bowl defensive lineman Sheldon Richardson. This brings in the caliber of player Seattle has been looking for in the middle of their defense since Coach Carroll arrived.

That wasn't the only trade that went down prior to solidifying the 53-man roster as Cassius Marsh was dealt to the Patriots. The guys talk about the chess match that must have been going on between the two GMs in that deal. The cuts of Pierre Desir and Kasen Williams may have been the two most disappointing cuts, but it's important to not lose perspective on the relative impact those players may have had on the final roster.

Looking ahead to the matchup with the Packers in Week 1, Adam talks about how critical the pass rush will be to stopping Aaron Rodgers. He also reminds us all about the energy surrounding opening games and how the Seahawks could be in danger of falling behind early. Despite the strength of Aaron Rodgers and all his weapons at wide receiver and tight end, the Packers have their own weaknesses. It's going to be on Russell Wilson to show up and be on point like he's shown in the preseason.

With Jermaine Kearse heading to the New York Jets, Adam and Brandan look back at five of the biggest plays Kearse gave us during his time in Seattle. As we welcome new members of the flock, we look ahead at the potential for keeping Richardson on the roster beyond 2017.

Do better nods go to the officiating crew from the past game and their slow tablets and to the Seahawks latest unveiling that has some graphic designers cringing. Better at life nods go to J.J. Watt and his efforts to raise funds for Houston and Adam brings attention to the firefighters in Montana as an extreme fire season has gotten very little national attention.

168: Russell Wilson continues preseason domination with Odhiambo at left tackle, decisions ahead with the 53-man roster Aug 29, 2017

The Seahawks pick up another preseason victory, 26-13 over the Kansas City Chiefs, as the Legion of Boom holds Alex Smith under 50 yards and the offense to only 3 points. Russell Wilson has looked incredible as he dials in his game this pre-season. Explosive plays to Jermaine Kearse, Chris Carson and Jimmy Graham were a big part of his 200-yard effort.

Part of the reason for his success was the fact that he was given time to throw behind an offensive line that, now with Rees Odhiambo at left tackle, looks like it may not have been impacted by the injury to George Fant. Despite Procise and Rawls sitting out another preseason game, the running game impressed with Eddie Lacy and Chris Carson. The guys talk about what that means for Alex Collins and some of the other backs on the roster.

With most of the starters likely sitting out against the Raiders this week, Adam and Brandan look ahead to that game with the idea of who they want to see to help make some of the tough decisions with the 53-man roster. They also discuss how some contract maneuvering and depth at running back could leave fullback Marcel Reece off the initial cut only to be brought back after Week 1.

In the second half of the show, the guys wonder what some of the foods are that you wouldn't want to drink beer with. Brandan questions Adam's prediction of Rees Odhiambo for the Pro Bowl and why that's what he's choosing to root for this year. The guys discuss an email that has a listener infuriated over Russell Wilson's placement on a recent list.

Finally, Do Better nods to go to some uninformative coverage from ESPN regarding the uptick in demonstrations during the National Anthem and Adam calls out the dirtiest player in the NFL. Better at life honors go to Adam's favorite general manager in basketball while Brandan talks about an MMA fighter who provided some entertainment on his way to a big payday.

167: Doug Baldwin and Russell Wilson look set for big season, how Fant's injury impacts the Seahawks o-line plans Aug 23, 2017

The Seahawks pick up another preseason victory after a 20-13 win over the Minnesota Vikings. Russell Wilson and Doug Baldwin looked like they were already in midseason form as they put on a show in front of the home crowd. Russell Wilson threw for two touchdowns and the Seattle defense held the Vikings first-team offense to a couple field goals. Kasen Williams had another score and appears to have locked up a job on this team in the eyes of most fans. At running back the guys talk about the potential three-man race for the final spot on the roster and who is currently in the lead.

The guys talk about which of the 2017 rookies are really standing out and which ones could play a significant role come Week 1. Pete Carroll's philosophy of letting a younger and more inexperience player crack the starting lineup could mean that guys like Ethan Pocic, Nazair Jones and Shaq Griffin can be contributors right away.

With two preseason games down, Brandan is noticing that his feelings on two of the free agent acquisitions are going in opposite directions than expected. Eddie Lacy had the start this week and had fewer yards than any of the Seahawks running backs with more than three carries in the game. And it was Blair Walsh providing some excitement and taunting his former team with a pair of 50+ yard field goals.

The upcoming game against the Chiefs gives the Seahawks another look at a strong defensive line going into the season. George Fant's gut wrenching injury appears to allow Rees Odhiambo to move into the starting lineup, but why isn't Joeckel, a guy they've flaunted as one who can play both guard and tackle on the left side, moving over to take Fant's job?

After the break, the guys remind fans not to expect roster cut downs to 75 this year as the rules changed and now the cuts to the 53-man roster will be done all at once. Brandan talks about his experience in the Bay Area and how hyped Raiders fans are to have Marshawn Lynch playing for their team this season. The eclipse this week dominates the coverage in the Do Better segment and Better at Life honors go to a little league show of sportsmanship and a former rival wide receiver who decided to hang up his cleats.

166: Seahawks showcase depth as 2nd team puts up big numbers in their first preseason game Aug 16, 2017

The starters played just one drive against the Los Angeles Chargers this weekend, but the story of the game was showcasing the depth of talent the Seahawks have this season. The 2nd team offense, helped by turnovers created by the 2nd team defense, put up 31 points before halftime. The Chargers were shut out in the second half to give Seattle the 48-17 victory.

Brandan and Adam get into some of the standout performances, Adam reminds everyone "he told you so" when it comes to Boykin's ability to fill in behind Russell Wilson, and they discuss their reasons for optimism with the offensive line. Brandan already feels like he may have a preseason crush on a running back.

Jessamyn McIntyre, executive producer at 710 ESPN in Seattle, joins the show to talk about her takeaways from the first preseason game. She says this is the type of game to give the team its swagger back and talks about her impressions of the Seahawks rookie cornerback Shaq Griffin. While the offensive line looked good, it's still tough to draw conclusions about which players will be starting come Week 1.

Coming up August 23, Jessamyn is hosting a Seahawks fan event in Seattle and listeners of the show can enter to win free tickets at homestandsports.com/seahawkers or they can use the promo code "seahawkers" at checkout to get $5 off each ticket.

In the second half of the show, some of the newest members of the flock share some thoughts on the team, and the guys get one of their favorite emails they've ever received. Do better nods to go a former Packers tight end for telling one of our Seahawks to essentially "shut up and play," and Adam gives a piece of his mind to people on Twitter for abusing an opportunity to send a message to a spacecraft celebrating its 40th anniversary.

Better at life honors go to Bill Gates for what may be a record-sized tax exemption and to Kris Richard for letting us all know how cold blooded he can be at the end of a preseason game.

165: 2017 expectations, former long snapper Clint Gresham talks about his new book, Easley inducted into the HOF Aug 10, 2017

We're celebrating a full four years of the Sea Hawkers Podcast this week, and we have a former Super Bowl Champion long snapper coming on the show to help celebrate this week. Clint Gresham has a new book coming out called, Becoming: Loving the Process to Wholeness. He talks about some of the events that inspired him to write the book and he's still ready to play if he's called on to return to the team. Outside of the interview, Clint tells us that there's a portion of the book the team wasn't comfortable with helping to promote.

Before we get to the interview, the guys talk about their expectations for the 2017 Seattle Seahawks as they go into their first preseason game this weekend against the Los Angeles Chargers. While they both expect the run game to improve, Brandan thinks it will lead to some big numbers in the passing game. While Adam expects the defense to return to form and once again lead the NFL in scoring defense, Brandan expects a former All-Pro player to drop from that level.

The guys also get into some of the latest training camp news from this past week. Coach Carroll is really excited by the team's third-round cornerback and their top offensive lineman is getting extra reps this week because of a punch thrown by Frank Clark. Rounding out the news on the top picks from 2017, Malik McDowell is heading home to rest even though he feels fine. Coach Carroll explains that his injury is going to require him to rest and will likely miss the first game of the season and beyond.

Kenny Easley was inducted into the Hall of Fame this week, and he has a message for the 12s when he returns to town for the Seahawks second home game this year. A listener asks which players from the Pete Carroll and John Schneider era we can expect to see in the Hall of Fame in the future.

The show concludes with a group of office workers who were willing to have chips implanted into their bodies for functions normally handled by a piece of plastic and a do better for the Dallas Cowboys for cutting a player for a case of mistaken identity. Better at life nods go to the Dolphins for solidifying Adam's rooting interestÂ against the team, and to the 12s Helping 12s group for making a special moment happen at the Pro Bowl between a Hall of Famer and a long-time Seahawks super fan.

164: Training camp opens w/contract for Kam, camp battles, and Seahawks top pick injured in accident Aug 03, 2017

Seahawks training camp is underway and Brandan and Adam are jacked up and ready to go for the 2017 season. Another guy who should be fired up for the season is Kam Chancellor who just signed a three-year extension to help ensure he's with the team for another four seasons and potentially retire as a member of the Seahawks. The guys break down what Chancellor has meant to the club over the past years, some of the moments where he's changed games, and why the role he plays with the team is so important.

Not only is Kam back and ready, other members of the Legion of Boom are standing out including Earl Thomas as well as early reports of Jeremy Lane making strides to securing the cornerback spot opposite Richard Sherman. Not all news is good though. Camp starts without the Seahawk top pick in town after an reported ATV injury kept Malik McDowell from reporting on time. Questions still remain over the extent of his injuries.

The guys talk about the latest with the offensive line through the first couple days as Adam impatiently wants things to already be settled before going into the first preseason game and the guys close out the first half of the show by talking about a recent Richard Sherman interview.

A cool announcement as we thank an anonymous donor, who says that for everyone who joins the flock at getintheflock.com for the next month at the $3 level (or higher) it will bring an additional $3 to the show. Finally, do better nods go to Andy Benoit of Monday Morning Quarterback and Dave Dameshek of NFL Network for ranking some Seahawks far too low on their respective offseason lists. Better at life honors go to Sheil Kapadia, Seahawks beat reporter at ESPN, and to Tabby's star for spurring Adam to believe intelligent life forms are out there in our galaxy.

163: Know Your Rival – Arizona Cardinals w/former Cardinals cheerleader Samantha Sanders Jul 26, 2017

The Know Your Rivals series continues and Samantha Sanders, a former Arizona Cardinals cheerleader from 2011-2012, joins the show to talk about her expectations for the Cards in the 2017 season. With an aging Carson Palmer and the top two receivers under contract, the guys ask her about the direction of the team in the future and where she feels the strength of the Cardinals will be. Samantha also talks about her current effort with the Science Cheerleaders and how the group promotes education and employment in the STEM fields.

In the second half of the show, Adam and Brandan take a look at the league's offensive lineman. They find that not only do the Seahawks have the lowest cap number for the offensive line, the Seahawks have the fewest number of lineman on the roster of any NFL team.

An email prompts a discussion on the potential for Darelle Revis to join the Seahawks and start the season across from Richard Sherman. Brandan offers some details in Revis' contract that makes signing the veteran to a low-cost deal seem unlikely.

In the better at life segment, Adam explains his latest customer service experience and Brandan talks about a former Seahawks linebacker who earned a spot in his college's hall of fame.

162: Know Your Rival - San Francisco 49ers w/Oscar of the Better Rivals Podcast Jul 17, 2017

Rivals Month continues this week with Oscar from the Better Rivals Podcast as we take a look at the offseason for the San Francisco 49ers. Is this team back on track to become the rivalry that it once was? The guys kick off the discussion by talking about a seriously embarrassing move by the team in deciding who they were going to pick to lead the franchise going forward.

Despite the coaching changes, there aren't high hopes that the 49ers will challenge for the NFC West title this year, but hope seems to be on the horizon with a change in the team's scheme and a philosophy for acquiring players that many Seahawks fans will recognize.

Oscar says a big reason for concern in San Francisco this season is the team's offensive line. His complaints about the ranking of his team's offensive line doesn't go over well. On a positive note, Michael Bennett commented recently on a 49ers defensive lineman who he believes could be a future candidate for Defensive Player of the Year.

After the interview, we get into some Russell Wilson talk after his notable appearance on two offseason lists. Wilson is on the list of most clutch quarterbacks of all time, even at this early stage in his career, and a list of the top 3 players you'd want to consider drafting if you were starting your NFL team.

Richard Sherman says if NFL players want guaranteed contracts like we see in other sports, the players need to be willing to strike when the collective bargaining agreement is up for renewal. While on the side of the players, Adam and Brandan talk about the realities of how salaries are structured and how that causes problems in getting all the players on board with that idea.

Do better nods this week go out to writers who are irritating Adam because they're talking about one of this least favorite coaches in the league and Brandan comes across a story that should shame all of the writers who said the playoff window for the Seahawks is closing. Better at life honors go to a 13-year-old quarterback who showed tremendous grit in leading his team and to a developer for bringing us hope about the future of the human race.

161: Know Your Rival - Los Angeles Rams w/James and Bear of the Rams Podcast Jul 10, 2017

With very little news about the team this past week, apart from Russell Wilson's diet and announcement regarding his passing academy, we launch into "Rivals Month." Kicking of the series is the Rams Podcast with James and Bear. The guys get into the latest All of Nothing series launched recently and Brandan talks about some of the more interesting highlights and surprises from the series.

**Note: Please go to seahawkerspodcast.com/vote and put us in the finals for the 12th Annual Podcast Awards.

Just one season after moving to Los Angeles, a lot is changing with the Rams this year. Jeff Fisher is out and now they have the youngest coach in the league. Who is Sean McVay and does he have the vision it takes to build a winning football franchise? Some of his latest moves seem to suggest he does, and he also decided to keep around a coach who has helped burn the Seahawks more than once.

As far as predictions for the season, Adam gets into why he believes the Rams might earn the second-best record in the division. The guys close out by talking about a potential bet for the 2017 season. Brandan thinks James' hype around 3rd round pick Cooper Kupp is overrated.

In the second half of the show, Peter King gets a 'do better' for dogging one of America's favorite holiday past times and another goes to the ESPN beat writer for the Arizona Cardinals. Better at life honors go to scientists for finding a new positive use for robotics and a Seahawks defensive lineman continues to dominate the offseason with his work off the field.

160: Making the case for a 16-0 Seahawks season, early 53-man roster predictions, and problems with the NFL list season Jun 29, 2017

What needs to go right for the Seahawks to have a perfect season? It's so difficult that it's only ever happened four times in the entire history of the NFL, even when you include the pre-Super Bowl era teams. But, because it's the offseason and it's show 160, errr 16-0, it made entirely too much sense not to bring up the possibility and the challenges the team would have to overcome.

Ross Bell from the Pedestrian Podcast joins the show to talk about his "way too early" 53-man roster projection. The guys talk about how predicting a starting lineup for the Seahawks is incredibly difficult when you have coaches willing to make some unpredictable moves in past seasons. Also, with the flood of new linebackers in the offseason, Ross thinks he has it narrowed to just two new names you'll really need to know going into the season.

In the second half of the show, the guys talk about some of the latest news, as the Bennett brothers have been recognized for their off-field work with a recent award. A top member of the Seahawks front office is being interviewed for a General Manager job for the Chiefs, and training camp tickets are almost certainly sold out by the time you hear this.

Do better nods go to Bill Belichick for being part of a photo shoot without his signature attire and to Adam for bailing out on a rite of passage all mid-life Americans should have to endure. Better at life callouts go to a website that knows how to make a clickbait headline Adam can enjoy and to a Packers fan who has inspired Adam to search for a single woman with the last name Hawk.

159: Thomas Rawls storms the depth chart, Sherman sets the story straight, and another visit to Prisco's World Jun 22, 2017

OTAs have wrapped up, the Seahawks mandatory minicamp is over, and now we get into a dark period of a couple weeks before training camp starts. The good news is the season is just around the corner! So far news about the heath of players has been positive as well and nobody sounds more excited than Thomas Rawls. Rawls is so excited, he feels like he needs to take up more than one spot on the depth chart. Adam and Brandan discuss why we fans should remember what had us so excited about Thomas Rawls as the team's #1 running back.

The guys take a look at what has Coach Carroll fired up coming out of minicamp and his thoughts on the offensive line, Jimmy Graham and the guy who sounds like has the edge coming into training camp to take over the cornerback spot opposite Richard Sherman. Pete isn't the only coach fired up, in fact, Tom Cable says he's the most excited coach on the team.

The NFL Network's Top 100 is nearing a conclusion. All the Seahawks on the list have been named, and there are a couple players who finished ahead of Seattle's top players that are really bothering Adam and Brandan. The Top 100 talk doesn't stop with NFL Network, because a trip to Prisco's World shows us that Pete can make mistakes with his player rankings as well.

In the second half of the show, we check in on Marshawn Lynch and our current feeling on his situation. In the email segment we talk about a couple players going into their second year who haven't seen a lot of action and revisit a topic and potential conspiracy theory that can be put to rest. Pro Football Focus and the hoverboard marketing team get taking to task in the do better segment, while a couple of defensive lineman (one current and one former) earn Better At Life honors.

158: Sunshine and rainbows at OTAs, the drama the ESPN article missed, and the Seahawks pass on Kap Jun 09, 2017

The guys kick off the show this week by talking about some of the news coming out of OTAs, and the very different kinds of stories fans are hearing from the local media vs the kinds of stories fans are getting from the national media. In OTAs, it's a lot of sunshine and rainbows particularly when it comes to George Fant and the improvements he's made over the offseason.

On NFL Network they've now made it through 70 of the top 100 players and we expect three Seahawks to show up on the list in the coming weeks. Adam and Brandan run down where guys fell out on the list to this point. The highest ranking player on the list so far is entering the final year of his contract and Michael Bennett is lobbying for him to get a new deal.

The ESPN article that was discussed on last week's show continues to make headlines, because now local reporters can ask players about their opinion on it while the players go through OTAs. One of the more shocking revelations is that some guys still aren't over the Super Bowl loss. Do they really have to get over it or just find a way to use the loss as some sort of constructive motivation?

Austin Davis has been signed to compete at the backup quarterback position which set off a small firestorm of its own, because apparently it was Colin Kaepernick's last opportunity to get a job. The guys break down an incredibly contradictory media report on NFL Network to show just how absurd the situation is.

The guys close out the show with some new members of the flock and some of your emails. Do better nods go to Bleacher Report and a writer using a slippery slope argument for ending a Nashville tradition. Better at life nominations go to a pair of former Stanford teammates, one for a lecture to reporters and one for keeping a year-old promise to a high school student.

157: Remembering Cortez Kennedy w/former Seahawks DB Nesby Glasgow, ESPN writer pits Sherman vs Wilson May 30, 2017

Incredibly sad news this past week as we learned of the passing of Seahawks Hall of Fame defensive tackle Cortez Kennedy. Kennedy passed away at the age of 48. Adam and Brandan bring on former Seahawks defensive back Nesby Glasgow to talk about his memories of Tez as well as his memories of finishing off his career in a Seahawks uniform.

In other Seahawks news from the past week, Colin Kaepernick made a visit to Seattle in addition to another backup prospect Austin Davis. Is it time we start, at the very least, considering the idea that Kap may be the Seahawks backup quarterback?

Michael Bennett had Kapernick's back this past week and his support found him in a Twitter war with Stephen A. Smith. That wasn't the only fight he got into with a highly opinionated member of the media as Matt Calkins of the Seattle Times took some shots at him, which Bennett responded by advocating a boycott of the local newspaper.

Bennett also called an article by Seth Wickersham of ESPN "trash," after the reporter clearly went out of his way to try and pit Richard Sherman against Russell Wilson. The guys go through the article and talk about what was worthwhile in the article as it tries to explain some of the reasons behind why Sherman hasn't gotten over the Super Bowl loss.

The title of Flocktimus Maximus goes to DCH this week, who is helping us with our latest piece of equipment for the show. Accuracy of reports coming out of Montana's special election get a big do better as well as a guy who got Adam into a high speed pursuit on I-90. Better at Life goes to Cortez Kennedy as we honor his memory and close out the show with some of his words from his 2012 Hall of Fame induction.

156: Clickbait, rookie minicamp, Seahawks numerology, and the 'perfect backup' QB for Seattle May 22, 2017

Introducing a new segment for the show this week as the guys break open some of the recent clickbait headlines with a parody jingle that we hope you enjoy. In real news, Tom Cable went on the radio recently and got the Luke Joekel hype train rolling, so the guys talk about what that could mean for the left side of the offensive line.

Rookie minicamp took place recently and we bring in the audio that stood out to us from each of the players along with each player's new number. We recognize some of the players from the past who wore the same number.

News this week made it sound like Colin Kaepernick would be the perfect backup quarterback for the Seahawks, however we're missing one key piece of information about how much Kaep would be willing to play for. For some reason a lot of people are assuming he's going to take close to the veteran minimum. If he were to come to the Seahawks, the team doesn't have much more room for that under their cap.

Jason Cole uses a statement from Michael Bennett to re-hash and old story about how Russell Wilson doesn't mesh well with the locker room. But the language he uses doesn't even make sense, so the guys try and figure out what he could even mean by perceived favoritism.

Chris Johnson from the Renton Sea Hawkers joins the show to talk about his work with the Seattle Ronald McDonald House. Chris has been a part of the show since the beginning having produced the music from the 12 Train that has been used in the show since we started in 2013.

Do better nods this week go to the construction crew of the new Chargers and Rams stadium for not factoring in the potential for weather to interrupt their goal to have the venue ready for 2019. Adam goes after the leader of a country who was recently embarrassed by a YouTube video where he was caught wearing some interesting clothing. Better at life nods go to Seahawks fan Chris Cornell, a former Soundgarden and Audioslave frontman, who kicked off the 2014 NFL season at CenturyLink. Adam nominates Cary Grant for trying to find a better version of himself in his early days of film, though the method he went about it would not be recommended today.

For any use of "You've Been Clickbaited" please contact us and let us know where you'll be using it. Thanks to Jay Stevens on Fiverr for his work.

Finally, a special thanks to Michael in San Diego who earned the title of Flocktimus Maximus this week.

155: Expectations for the Seahawks draft class, our inaugural All-Seahawks Team vote, Legion of Boom 2.0 May 14, 2017

With the 2017 Draft now behind us, the guys reveal which player in particular they are most excited about. They also talk offensive line as Pete Carroll and Tom Cable were interviewed in the past couple weeks and offered up the positions where they expect each guy to compete. Chances are that Seahawks fans will see a drastically different line than in 2016, apart from Justin Britt at center.

The guys announce the opening of voting for the Sea Hawkers Podcast Inaugural All-Seahawks Team. In the coming weeks, we'll take a look at the individual players who take the top honors.

It's been a while, so they guys decide to take a trip to Prisco's World, and it doesn't look the same. Reports were that the Seahawks would have been interested in drafting a particular quarterback at the end of the first round, and Prisco wasn't buying it.

With Marshawn Lynch now a member of the Oakland Raiders, the guys talk about how different it feels and how it relates to past relationships. Thanks to Bekah, Adam has a microphone that will make it much easier to produce a show when he has to work on the road. If you think you have a good name for his microphone, something he has to reference each time he's on the road, send in your comments via email and Bekah will choose her favorite.

Do better nods go out to anyone with the idea that the latest set of DBs get to add 2.0 to the LOB name and to any extreme travelers from the U.S. who want to visit North Korea. Better at life nods go out to a first-year Seahawks player who is giving to charity and making an attempt to drop some pounds while engaging fans this offseason.

154: The Seahawks 2017 draft class and how the team made history on day two May 02, 2017

The silly season leading up to the draft is over and now we have 11 new members of the 2017 Seahawks draft class to discuss. Adam and Brandan kick off the discussion with a look at the overall philosophy of the team that emerges from this draft. By taking three defensive backs in the first four rounds, it topped the number of DBs the Seahawks have taken in those round over the entire Carroll/Schneider era. We talk about what this means for the team, and Adam explains why this strategy has him a bit irked.

Getting into the players, the guys talk about the importance of getting guys "in the trenches" this offseason based on how the 2016 season ended. They clearly went out and addressed what were seen as the top needs for the team on the defensive line, offensive line and at defensive back, but it did create some new questions particularly on the offensive line.

Of the latest players, the guys are most excited about the potential of Malik McDowell, Shaquill Griffin, Nazair Jones and Tedrick Thompson, but will hold off to next week on deciding which one they're going to specifically root for in the 2017 season.

In the second half of the show, a new member of the flock explains why this draft class has him especially fired up for the start of the season and why Eddie Lacy has 385,000 reasons to be in position to be an impact player this year. Do better callouts go to WalterFootball.com and to the stadium in Minnesota that is facing new problems. Better at life nods go to Paul Allen for his latest effort to benefit Seattle and to Marshawn Lynch for showing his appreciation for Seahawks fans as he returns to the NFL to live out a childhood dream.

153: Seahawks draft predictions with Rob Staton, scouting QBs in the draft, and advanced 2017 schedule analytics Apr 26, 2017

General manager John Schneider took to the podium this week and it now sounds like the media is finally getting the message that he's been stating consistently that Sherman isn't going anywhere unless the team gets the kind of value they want in return. Since Sherman hasn't been traded yet, it's safe to assume that hasn't and probably won't be happening. Marshawn Lynch apparently has a deadline to sign with the Raiders before the draft and the guys wonder what a true deadline for a Lynch signing really looks like. Other news items include the departure of Garry Gilliam and contract numbers for defensive lineman Dion Jordan.

Rob Staton of seahawksdraftblog.com returns to the Sea Hawkers Podcast to make a prediction of who the Seahawks will take with their first pick. Considering the Seahawks have done little to bolster their defensive line in the offseason, Rob thinks that the first pick would be the way to get help there and he has a pass rusher in mind that the team will like based on some unique characteristics. The guys also amuse themselves with the idea that the Seahawks have a chance to get another NFL Taco.

Check out Rob's recent article: Considering a trade-up scenario for the Seahawks

Following the discussion with Rob, Adam takes a look at the quarterbacks in the draft who he feels have the best chance for success at the professional level. Davis Webb from Cal made an official visit with the team recently and with the legal issues facing Trevone Boykin, could Webb be a quarterback the team looks at in the early rounds?

Dave Bloomquist checks in with a deep dive into the advanced analytics for NFL scheduling and looks at the Seahawks rest differential to see where they may be at a disadvantage compared to the rest of the league. From there, Brandan takes a run at a Wisconsin reporter for publishing information that the NFL is supposed to keep private and Adam sends a do better to some university researchers. Better at life nods go out to supporters of science and to Cliff Avril for living up to his 2016 title of Housing Commissioner.

Seahawks 2017 schedule release rundown Apr 21, 2017

The Seahawks schedule for 2017 was released Thursday evening and Brandan from the Sea Hawkers Podcast joined up with Stuart Court of the Pedestrian Podcast to run down the list of games this season.

The guys talk about starting off on the road against Green Bay, while they were a playoff team last season, they talk about the reasons why an early matchup could be preferable. Seattle takes on the 49ers in the home opener before finishing a stretch of games that likely pits them against the best quarterbacks they'll see all season in a four-game span.

Three of the next four games feature strong defensive fronts with the Rams, Giants and Texans. With the first prime time game coming in Week 4 against the Colts, Seattle goes on a stretch of prime time games in the third quarter of the season. It kicks off in Week 10 against the Cardinals as the Seahawks face a division rival in the only scheduled road game in prime time. It gives the team an extended week to prepare for their Monday night matchup with the defending NFC Champion Atlanta Falcons in Week 11. After the Thanksgiving weekend matchup with the 49ers, Seattle jumps back into the primetime slot in Week 13 against Carson Palmer and the Eagles.

Unless it snows in Seattle, December looks to be a rather warm month for the team as they face Jacksonville (the only 10am start on the schedule) and a game at Dallas on Christmas Eve. Arizona has a two-game winning streak in Seattle that the Seahawks hope to end in Week 17 of the regular season.

Before closing out the show, the guys offer their early predictions on the team's record and talk about upcoming plans for next week's shows on both the Sea Hawkers Podcast and the Pedestrian Podcast.

152: Defensive back draft prospect visits, another top draft pick joins the Seahawks, and the latest on Lynch and Sherman Apr 19, 2017

In the top news from the past two weeks, the Seahawks continue to accumulate top 5 draft picks from the 2013 draft as Dion Jordan is added to the roster after a disappointing beginning to his career in Miami. After collecting all of the Buffalo Bills running backs from the Marshawn Lynch era, is this the next goal for Seattle?

We continue our series of looking at players the Seahawks have reportedly met with leading up to the 2017 NFL Draft and this week it's a look at the defensive backs. Reports show Seattle has met with at least six prospects at corner and another six at safety. It looks like this is a draft where the Seahawks could be looking to create a lot of competition in the secondary. Standout players in this group include Budda Baker from Washington, Obi Melifonwu of Connecticut and Cordrea Tankersley of Clemson.

Reports had Marshawn Lynch coming out of retirement this past week, until Marshawn straightened things out by saying that when [catfish] gets real, he'll let us know. Adam wants to make sure the Raiders know that he wants some significant compensation if Seattle is going to deal him. With continued reports speculating on trade possibilities for Richard Sherman, and a report saying the trade was Sherman's idea, Adam tries to find a rational explanation that fits all of the reports that we've heard in the past month.

Thanks to our listeners, we've now hit 200 reviews in the U.S. iTunes store and we're looking for about 40 more to try and run down a podcast about the NFL. The guys get into why a writer for Bleacher Report and a writer for Awful Announcing need to do better. Find out why golfer John Daly and Seahawks corner DeAndre Elliott are better at life in the closing segment of the show.

151: Draft prospect visits on offense, the offseason story that won't die, and the first arrest of the offseason goes to... Apr 05, 2017

This offseason has reached a new low as Brandan finds himself watching gamers play Madden competitively, but the good news is the NFL Draft is just around the corner and we'll probably see the schedule released in the next couple weeks. To help lead up to the draft the guys take a look at a few prospects that have reportedly met with the team: guard Isaac Asiata, tackle Zach Banner, tight end Antony Auclair as well as wide receivers Chad Williams and Deangelo Yancey.

It's important to watch prospect visits, because based on past history, there are players among this group who will are very likely to make the team either via draft or brought in as an undrafted free agent. This week's group includes two offensive lineman and three pass catchers (one tight end, two receivers). Knowing that the team looks for unique qualities, a demonstration of grit, and leadership qualities, the guys look at each of the players through that lens.

Who is to blame for the continued rumors surrounding Richard Sherman? The writers who continue to put out the stories or those of us who click on the links? We discuss why this story doesn't seem to be going away.

At the annual league owners meeting, Pete Carroll and John Schneider gave us some ideas for how the offensive line might shape up in terms of competition. We could be seeing guys at new positions at four of the five spots. Is continuity more important or is it better to put the best five players on the field?

Trevone Boykin was the first Seahawks player to be arrested this offseason. The guys talk about what has been reported and how things seemed much worse in the initial reports. Even though he's now been arrested twice in the past two years, it sounds like the team plans to keep him on the roster at this point.

Do better nods this week go to a pair of podcasters who spent a little too much time off topic for Adam's taste and Brandan has to revise his rant from last week to go from a general "do better" to pinpoint a particular team. Better at life honors go to Canadians for surprising us all with their awesomeness and lastly to one NFL team owner for being a sole dissenting vote on Oakland's move to Las Vegas.

150: Bennett's 2017 breakout players, Seahawks up against cap after latest signings, cost of trading up in the draft Mar 26, 2017

We talked a little bit about the salary cap last week as Adam concluded that there was no more money left to sign players. All the money was gone. Turns out figuring out how the salary cap works is hard, so the guys take a bit of time to talk about some of the details before getting into the latest round of free agent signings for the team. Russ emails the show to ask about the logic of allowing Hauschka to leave the team in free agency and Adam and Brandan talk about the potential impact of losing someone who has been proven to perform in clutch situations.

Now that some of the contract numbers are in, Adam has changed his tune on one player in particular. The reports of a Marshawn Lynch comeback continue and it's shown Adam a new trick the media seems to be using in how they continue to cover a story which there seems to be no new news. In actual news, Michael Bennett this past week named his three breakout players for 2017 and Brandan and Adam react to the names because one name in particular was a bit of a surprise.

With the upcoming draft, Brandan takes a look at the cost of moving up in the draft and a look back to 2011 when the Atlanta Falcons swapped first rounders with the Cleveland Browns and offered up four additional picks to move up to select Julio Jones. If the Seahawks could have gone back and made a similar move, which players would Seattle may have missed out on drafting? The guys discuss the impact of making that kind of move.

The Sea Hawkers Annual Banquet is scheduled for May 20 in Bellevue. Visit seahawkers.org for tickets. Emails from listeners spur a discussion on the offensive line as well as thoughts on a couple of the greatest comeback seasons of all time. Do better nods go to the competition committee if there aren't any proposals to allow for the Seahawks throwback uniforms and to sports news outlets for overreacting to something that seems like a waste of taxpayer dollars. Roger Goodell gets a Better at Life nomination for being just like the rest of us when it comes to commercials and to Sheil Kapadia of ESPN for writing an article that deserves Seahawks attention.

149: The great Eddie Lacy debate, Wayne Henderson of the Packers Fan Podcast weighs in, and making news with trade rumors Mar 19, 2017

After addressing their offensive line by signing Luke Joeckel last week, the Seahawks look to make an impact to their running game by signing Eddie Lacy. Adam and Brandan don't agree that Lacy actually improves the running game as Adam thinks the money would be better put to use on the offensive line. Wayne Henderson of the Packers Fan Podcast joins the show to offer his thoughts based on what he's seen from Lacy in his four years in Green Bay.

Adam's belief is that there are several running backs in the draft the Seahawks could have taken a look at and brings up a running back from Oklahoma who broke all kinds of records. With all the news focusing on the unsubstantiated trade rumors, Adam decides to cook up one of his own that is just as likely as any of the rest. If you're a writer for Bleacher Report, you're going to want to tune in and write a story, because it'll bring in the clicks!

Wrapping up the passionate discussion from both sides with regard to Lacy, the guys decide to put down a wager on it and our members of the flock are encouraged to get in on it, too. If you go to getintheflock.com and believe Brandan is right and Lacy will get more than 600 all-purpose yards with the team next season, join Team Cheeseburger in Paradise. If you think Lacy falls short of that number, you can join Adam and Team China Food Chubster.

Marshawn Lynch is back in the news for what is becoming an annual tradition, that he'll return to the NFL and play for his hometown Raiders. Adam also takes a look at an article from Hawkblogger shows that shows how the Seahawks missed out on an opportunity to address the offensive line last season and how it has created a problem for this offseason.

In Do Better, Brandan looks at how the news about Richard Sherman being a potential trade option unfolded in the media while Adam addresses issues surrounding Colin Kaepernick's situation. Better at life honors this week go to Frank Clark, who Adam now shares a new kinship with, and to a current and former Seahawks player who were both honored at this year's 82nd Annual MTRWestern Sports Star Of The Year Awards.

148: The Seahawks show they care about o-line, Rob Staton of Seahawks Draft Blog with post-combine thoughts, and the start of free agency Mar 13, 2017

The Seahawks show they're turning over a new leaf in 2017 by bringing in offensive lineman in the initial days of free agency. They sign a former #2 overall draft pick, but lose out in signing former Packers guard T.J. Lang to Detroit. Does an old mantra about this team still apply? Seattle also appears to be in the market for running backs past their prime. The guys talk about what may be the logic in that strategy and the merits of Adrian Peterson vs Jamaal Charles.

The guys welcome Rob Staton of seahawksdraftblog.com and co-host of the 3000 NFL Mock Draft podcast. With the combine wrapping up last week, Rob has thoughts on who the Seahawks might want to look at in the draft. Unfortunately he has some bad news. The position of greatest concern is one of the weaker positions in the draft, especially in terms of the explosive type of lineman the Seahawks tend to try and find. He's especially excited by the prospects of some of the defensive players and the opportunity to find some key guys to help bolster the Legion of Boom.

Follow Rob on Twitter @robstaton and check out 3000 NFL Mock Draft.

In the final half of the show, the guys explore some of the biggest surprises in free agency, take a look at a surprising USA Today article and wonder why any NFL GM would pick up the phone when the Patriots are calling. Better at life nods go out to Michael Bennett for announcing he will be donating his endorsement money to charity and to The Truth for a nice gesture to his former NBA teammates.

147: The media is out to get Richard Sherman, a look at free agent o-lineman, and the combine inspires Lamp love Mar 05, 2017

The guys come to you this week after watching running backs and offensive lineman run at the combine. Adam has one observation that he wants to share with everyone as a result: "I love Lamp." Pete Carroll said a whole lot of nothing, but does emphasize the importance of the running game in his press conference. John Schneider had several interesting thoughts to share with reporters in his addition to the approach he's taking to deliver a consistent championship caliber team.

The guys take their initial look at free agents the Seahawks may be interested in by talking about offensive lineman. With Breno and Okung available in free agency is it time to get the band back together again? Or should the team look at several other free agents who are expected to be available this week?

Richard Sherman was back in the news this week and the guys wonder if ESPN and the media are out to get Sherman. Based on what was in his interview with Cari Champion, it sounds as though Sherman and Champion were talking about different incidents. Yet, a produced piece inserted before the question makes it sound as though Sherman has a much different version of what happened in his confrontation with a Seattle reporter.

It's that time of year for Sea Hawker of the Year nominations and Adam thinks he should be a shoe in candidate. We say thanks to our latest new reviewers in iTunes and take a call commenting on our thoughts from the previous show. The Seahawks media combine happened last week and deserve a "Do Better!" for missing out on a key competitor. A tech company with an idea to revolutionize the Internet and a life-saving soccer player earn Better at Life honors.

146: Seahawks players to cut, trade or re-sign this offseason (or in 2018) Feb 23, 2017

Last week we took a look at the 2017 free agents for the Seahawks, and this week we look ahead to next year's list of free agents. As players enter their final year of their contract, the team tends to evaluate players for contract extensions or cut players to have additional money under the salary cap. We talk Jimmy Graham, Kam Chancellor, Justin Britt and Paul Richardson and the likelihood that a player could be cut, re-signed, traded or if we'll see them play out their contract.

We take a look at some news items this past week as the former running backs coach talks about what the team needs to do to get back to the Super Bowl, what the Blair Walsh contract means for the future of Steve Hauschka and a former Dolphins defensive tackle makes a visit to the VMAC this week.

In the second half of the show, we're looking for your feedback on the worst free agent signings of the Pete Carroll era after USA Today reports on their top three guys. In the Do Better segment, we learn about how writers waste time talking strength of schedule and why former NFL players shouldn't do meth. Better at life nominees go to NASA this week as well as a top CBS executive for his comments to the NFL commissioner.

145: Seahawks free agents, NFL cap casualties, Walsh to replace Hauschka, and coaching changes Feb 15, 2017

With NFL free agency a couple weeks away, the Seahawks appear to be making a strategic move in their negotiations with kicker Steve Hauschka. Adam and Brandan talk about what may be behind the move to sign Blair Walsh, a kicker well-known to all Seahawks fans for a miss that won a playoff game for Seattle. In other news from the past week, there a number of coaching changes to report. What should fans make of these changes to the staff? The guys discuss.

General Manager John Schneider has put the team in an incredible position this off season with very few notable players on the 2017 list of free agents. Which of these players should we expect the team to re-sign in the coming weeks? And with cap casualties starting to drop from other rosters, which players should the Seahawks be taking a look at?

Before getting into the second half of the show, the guys discuss the Seahawks red zone performance in the 2016 season. Throughout the season, the Seahawks were at the bottom of the scoring percentage on the road, but is that metric even a good indicator for team success? There's one metric that seems to be more effective at measuring success where the team scored very well on. And while we're on the topic of the red zone, we look at who were Russell Wilson's top targets inside the red zone this year. The answer may surprise you, while the player who had the most significant decline in that area may not.

A special thanks to Episode 145 Executive Producer Gary Blum and an announcement of the number of new members of the flock we want to reach by the kickoff of the 2017 season. An email challenges the assertion of which Super Bowl loss was the worst and do better nods go out to an online flower dealer and a Bleacher Report scout who has come up with an incredibly confounding term. Better at life nods go out to the Patriots marketing department and the police in Polson, Montana, for a creative way to help meth users get help.

144: Pats SB win was good for Seahawks fans, Kenny Easley voted into the HOF, pick'em winners announced Feb 09, 2017

The most important news to Seahawks fans from this past weekend wasn't that a certain quarterback and coach cemented their claim as all-time greats, no, it was that Kenny Easley was voted into the NFL Hall of Fame this weekend. Easley becomes the fourth member of the Seahawks to play his entire career in Seattle and make it to the Hall.

Adam and Brandan run down some of the latest Seahawks news from the past week before getting into Sunday's game and how the victory by the Patriots actually makes our lives as Seahawks fans a little bit easier moving forward. By losing a 25-point lead to Genghis Tom, there's now a new offensive coordinator who will be remembered, not for one bad choice, but for a number of bad decisions. They all add up to a loss that will be remembered for many years to come.

We also announce the winners of the Sea Hawkers Podcast pick'em league. It came down to a tie after all this weeks. The Patron League champion wasn't as close. To close out the show, a pair of former Big 10 quarterbacks fall into the Do Better segment while a quarterback and a group of zebras are Better at Life.

143: Coach Carroll offers hints on what to expect in 2017 and the ins and outs of 2016 with Clinton Bonner Feb 02, 2017

Wrapping up the fourth season of the Sea Hawkers Podcast, the guys take a look at Head Coach Pete Carroll's final press conference of the season. Carroll talks about the one thing that had the biggest impact on the team this year. Was it the distractions the team faced including a few moments from Richard Sherman, was it the youth of the offensive line or injuries the team faced throughout the season?

Looking ahead we get a sense of where this team may have diverted from Carroll's philosophy. Can we expect a shift moving ahead to next season. We also get some hints at where this team may focus some attention in the draft. While Adam was surprised to see the team focused at running back at 2016, there may be another surprise in 2017 at where we see Seattle focus its attention.

Clinton Bonner joins the show to talk about some of the highs and lows of the 2016 season. Seahawks.com took a look at some award winning performances from the past season and Adam, Brandan and Clinton each offer their takes on competition at each spot and if there were some more worthy players deserving of the end-of-year awards.

A long show for you this week as we get into a couple emails before moving on to a do better for the NFL and for Bruce Arians of the Arizona Cardinals. Better at life nods go out to Colin Cowherd and Adam's admiration for his views on the Falcons and to Marshawn Lynch for his latest trip to Houston, Scotland and how his Skittles endorsement finally won Brandan over.

142: The Seahawks playoff window w/ Russell Wilson at QB, when the Falcons game turned south, 8 reasons for positivity Jan 23, 2017

With the Seahawks season coming to a close, the big question being thrown around is wondering if the window for this Seattle team has closed. Adam wonders why we are even asking the question, because from the sounds of the media reports coming out of this game is the conclusion has already been reached. But, anyone making that claim must not actually be paying attention to the personnel this team has or looking around the division at the competition in the NFC West.

Going back to last Saturday, the Seahawks season ends on a 36-20 to the Atlanta Falcons. With a week to reflect on the game, Adam and Brandan take a look back at some of the key moments and debate where things really went off track for the team after they got out to an unusual start for a road playoff game. Some of the same road struggles continued from earlier on this season, from red zone production and pass protection to not getting timely turnovers.

The talk from the Falcons game turns to some listener emails and questions including whether or not the Seahawks should bring back Jimmy Graham. One reporter in the Seattle area makes a claim that the Seahawks, as a team, are no longer a likeable group of players. The guys talk about how Michael Bennett's outburst after the game contributes to that feeling. It leads into the latest controversy surrounding Richard Sherman and an alleged injury that wasn't reported during the season.

In the second portion of the show, the guys talk about some of the things we plan for the offseason and would like to get listeners feedback and thoughts on some things to include. In the mailbag segment Ryan in Fairbanks, Alaska, tells a great story of all the effort that he went through to try and support the Seahawks and ensure that he couldn't be held responsible for a team loss based on his prior history. Aaron in Manitoba runs down a list of everything we as Seahawks fans should be proud of and look forward to with next year's Seahawks team.

Closing out the show, a school district in Maryland makes a terrible decision to fire an employee and a Seahawks.com writer already appears to be jinxing a player for the 2017 season. Both need to do better. Better at life nods go to the United States for a peaceful weekend and to the Sea Hawkers and members of the Flock who have contributed toward building a house in Haiti.

141: It's time for Seattle to start quickly on the road. A look at key personnel differences from 12 weeks back Jan 13, 2017

The guys offered their initial thoughts on the Falcons matchup earlier this week and now they're back with some additional focus on the matchup with Atlanta. First, it's a quick look back at three key plays from the Lions game and the historic accomplishment by Thomas Rawls.

This weekend the Seahawks get the chance to start off the NFL action with a rematch this Saturday against the Falcons. Adam and Brandan look at some key personnel differences from that Week 6 game as well as some differences in the level of health of key players. Two questions: Can the Seahawks dominate the Falcons to the same level they did at CenturyLink? And will they be able to overcome their playoff history under Pete Carroll where they have always started out in at least a two-score hole before they've been able to put points on the board?

We let you know about some events in the Atlanta area for fans traveling to the game and welcome the new members of the flock. Do better calls go out to a police chief in Michigan and to some of the coverage previewing the matchup to this weekend's Seahawks game. Better at life nods go to former Seahawks defensive back Tyvis Powell and to the Russian Sea Hawkers for an great gift for Earl Thomas.

Wild Card victory sends the Seahawks on to Atlanta (feat. UK Sea Hawkers Ross and Adam) Jan 09, 2017

A joint playoff victory celebration as Adam and Brandan are joined by UK Sea Hawkers Ross and Adam of The Pedestrian Podcast. The Seahawks running game returns with Thomas Rawls doing the things we saw from him last season and helping lead the Seahawks to a 26-6 victory.

Seattle also got it done through the air and while nobody was shocked to see Baldwin go over 100 yards, some incredible grabs by Paul Richardson made folks (including Chris Collinswoth) wonder if Odell Beckham had suited up in Richardson's gear for this game.

The defense helps get it done as well, holding the Lions out of the end zone and keeping them to two field goals. Adam thinks a game ball should go to the Lions receivers for the number of key drops they had, which definitely contributed to the low score for Detroit.

With the Falcons coming up, each guy offers up a concern heading into the Falcons matchup. It brings up a number of questions. Can this Seahawks team show up in the same way they did for 3 quarters against Atlanta in their regular season matchup? Can the Seahawks offensive line provide the same type of effort against a defensive line that was ranked similarly against the run as Detroit was, and can Pete Carroll's Seahawks finally get off to a good start on the road?

If this team can pull together and offer the same type of focus they did when playing the Patriots earlier on in this season, then we can expect to see our Seahawks back in the NFC Championship game.

The Rain City Miracle with William Cornell of the Rain City Redemption Series Jan 06, 2017

We've raved about the Rain City Redemption series in the past. It's a must watch set of videos for Seahawks fans and it's hard to believe it has been as long as it has since the last movie in the series.

The Rain City Miracle came out this week and creator of the series William Cornell joins us once again to talk about what went into this project and why he felt this was a story that needed to be told and in the archives along with previous episodes. He talks about the process it takes to put something like this together and why this video takes a bit of a different approach compared to previous episodes in the series.

One of the videos greatest attributes, since it's about an amazing comeback in the NFC Championship game, we don't even have to suffer through another viewing of the play from the following game. You know which play we mean.

Look back at some of the adversity from that season as well as some key moments that foreshadow this team's ability to never doubt themselves even when it looks like there is no chance to win. This is how the 2014 season should be remembered!

140: Let the postseason begin, a look at the areas for the Seahawks to exploit vs Detroit, and Bobby Wagner's huge year Jan 04, 2017

The Seahawks close out the regular season with their fifth straight 10-win season. It's an incredible accomplishment, so why do so many Seahawks fans seem down? Maybe it's because the team was a field goal kick or maybe even an extra point away from having a first round bye. If there's one small upside, it's that we don't have to wait an extra week to cheer our Seahawks on in the playoffs.

Before the guys break down areas where the Seahawks may look to exploit this Lions team, they look back at a win over the 49ers. Again, a lot of fans were down about this game and the guys talk about why it may have had something to do with how this game started and expectations for a need to come out with a more dominant result on the scoreboard.

Adam watched this game after hearing the fan reaction of the game and talks about his reaction to the Seahawks performance. Was it a mistake to pull Russell so early in the fourth quarter? The guys talk about what they liked from T-Boyk's performance late in the game.

Going into this game, the guys are chock full of stats on how the Lions have performed this season. The Seahawks have a clear edge when it comes to the Seattle defense versus the Detroit defense, but Adam and Brandan look at what Stafford has done so many times this season to help the Lions overcome fourth quarter deficits.

After the break, the guys get into the Do Better and Better at Life segments. An Ohio State Buckeye fan crosses the line in how fans should react to player performance and the Carolina Panthers show why they might be the most mentally weak team in the NFL this season. Two defensive standouts this season carry the final segment as Frank Clark and Bobby Wagner get credit for leadership on the sidelines and performance on the field.

139: The Cardinals are the new Rams, knowing when to boo your own team, and logic says Seattle should win its final game Dec 29, 2016

If you're angry about this last game against the Cardinals, this is the show to listen to. We share your emotion, passion and disappointment with how this last game went for the Seahawks, because there was so much to be upset about. There were issues on offense, issues on defense, issues on special teams, beloved players were injured and the Seahawks lost their hold on the #2 seed. Now we have to also be Saints fans in addition to being Seahawks fans this final week of the season.

After an incredibly poor showing in the first half, the Seahawks offense managed to get things going in the second half. Doug Baldwin lit up the Cardinals defense and Russell Wilson threw for 350 yards and four touchdowns. But turnovers and special teams cost the team in this game as well as a deep touchdown pass that gave the Cardinals easy points. The guys discuss whether or not it's ever okay to boo your team.

Seattle is in the postseason and a win over the San Francisco 49ers guarantees they won't play the Giants in the first round of the playoffs. The guys talk about strategies in terms of playing time for the team and whether or not a bye is a good thing for this Seattle team.

The Bills as well as the outrage culture on Twitter are targeted this week in the Do Better segment and Better at Life nods go to a basketball player for the Cavs and a Chiefs defensive lineman.

138: NFC West Champions, Bennett goes one pump too many, Sherman's SB49 flashback, NFL should only fine guys who are jerks Dec 21, 2016

Your Seahawks are NFC West Champions as they finally put an end to the Rams three-game win streak. It only took and entire season of reverse jinxes to give the team an assist. Though the Seahawks won convincingly, the final score of 24-3 still seemed too close and a big part was due to some questionable decisions by the Rams interim coach. There were so many things to be happy about with this Seahawks performance: the Housing Commissioner (Avril) built more houses, Doug Baldwin broke some ankles, Bennett reminded us how many pumps is too many, and Jon Ryan made "the face" again. The Seahawks continue to close out the season against NFC West opponents with their final regular season game at CenturyLink against the Arizona Cardinals. Darin Pike joins the show to take credit for calling his shot on the downfall of the Cards and explain why the Seahawks team seems to perform well at home and has struggled on the road. There's one variable that seems to explain the performance of the offensive line on the road vs playing at home.

A pass on the 1-yard line gives Richard Sherman a flashback and it leads to a confrontation with a reporter after his press conference. Earl Thomas speaks out as to what he may have been thinking in the moments after his season ending injury. The guys take a look at both issues and talk about how different a prominent headline you're seeing in the media could be different and also much less interesting.

Do better nods this week go any media members who think the NFL shouldn't consider how bad it looks when they fine good guys who do things against the rules and the guys come up with a solution to determine who should and shouldn't get fined. Adam continues to work with Santa and discovers that people have a strange preference for unbroken candy canes. Better at life nominees this week are Richard Sherman (twice) and the rest of the Seahawks who earned Pro Bowl spots this year. We even include the Pro Bowl alternates.

137: A game so bad that Baldwin's facemask was throwing INTs and the LA Rams Podcast celebrates Jeff Fisher's firing Dec 13, 2016

The Seahawks suffer their worst loss since Charlie Whitehurst was in on backup duty for Matt Hasselbeck and the guys talk about how it got so bad on Sunday that Doug Balwin's facemask was throwing interceptions. Adam talks about why he was legitimately to blame for the Seahawks loss and not Russell Wilson or the offensive line, but we still discuss which of the other two could have majorly contributed to the loss.

James and Bear of the LA Rams Podcast join us this week to look ahead to the Thursday night matchup with the Seahawks. With Jeff Fisher getting fired on Monday, does that mean the Rams lose the binder full of trick plays they use against the Seahawks? Not only does LA come into the game with a different head coach, they come in with a different quarterback than we saw Seattle face earlier this season.

In a shortened second half of the show, the guys get to a call and a couple emails that came in before the game. Chris Sims catches Adam's attention with a 60-second video clip that lands him on the do better list this week. The MVP of the MLS Cup gets Brandan's better at life nod this week as the Seattle Sounders earn a title on Saturday.

136: Dominant win over Carolina comes with a heavy price, is there a Seahawks curse at Lambeau?, interview with Patrick Seahawk Duncan Dec 08, 2016

Putting the nail in the coffin of any playoff hopes the Panthers may have had for this season should feel good, especially when it's a 40-7 beatdown that started from the first play of the game. But unfortunately this win feels like a loss with Earl Thomas going down for the season with a broken leg. Adam and Brandan talk about some of the biggest plays in the win, why Justin Britt may be the team MVP and how this defense will look without Thomas.

It's the first time he'll miss any major time and the guys talk about his tweet where he said he was thinking about retirement. With one Thomas out, there is another Thomas "in" and that's Thomas Rawls who looked like the running back we remember from the 2015 season. Young players like Rawls, Lockett and Frank Clark could be the catalyst the team needs at this point of the season going into the playoffs.

With Marshawn Lynch on the sideline at this game, it caught the attention of Pete Prisco. He likens the visit by Lynch to the high school grad that comes back to hang out at school events. Turns out, Prisco had a very interesting way he liked to retaliate against fellow athletes and he once threatened to do the same to Lynch.

The Legion of Boom will face a big test this week without their star safety as they go into Lambeau, a place the team hasn't won at since 1999. When Holmgren brought Matt Hasselbeck to the Seahawks, did it somehow lead to a curse that keeps this team from winning in Green Bay?

This week's Sea Hawker spotlight focuses on Patrick Seahawk Duncan who was recently featured on Tackle My Ride on NFL Network. He reveals some behind the scenes stories and talks about what it was like to have Cliff Avril deliver his truck at the final reveal. The Kitsap Sea Hawkers are also raffling off some prizes for charity. You can reach out to Patrick on his Facebook page if you'd like to help support the effort.

There's a do better for a player who could ruin a fun thing for the rest of the league by making a bad decision on which foundation to support with his cleats and for a football fan who stiffed his cab driver. Adam gives his better at life nod to Santa Mike, who may in fact be the actual Santa. Brandan calls attention to Steve Hauschka who has once again proven that he might be the best ping pong player in the Greater Seattle area.

135: Bucs pressure Russell Wilson to rare stat line, how the o-line rebounds vs the Panthers, and the Montana Sea Hawkers charity effort Dec 01, 2016

The Seahawks come away with their third loss of the season in a truly ugly game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The offense only manages to score a field goal thanks to a pass interference call on the Bucs and the defense adds a safety. Not only were there injuries on the offensive line, there was a shakeup at right tackle just one series into the game and the three rookies struggled all day to keep up with a dominating defensive line. Adam and Brandan talk about just what went wrong and a stat line from Russell Wilson that we rarely see.

Just because the Carolina Panthers are 4-7 coming into this game doesn't mean they can't give the Seahawks a game for Sunday Night Football. The Panthers are doing well in some key areas on offense, but their defense has struggled mightily on the road this season. It feels like this game is going to come down to whether or not the offensive line is going to look more like it did against the Philadelphia Eagles a couple weeks ago or if their struggles from last week continue.

Tune in to the second half of the show to hear about the Montana Sea Hawkers fundraising efforts and how you can get a chance at winning a football autographed by Steve Largent and Jim Zorn while also helping out Montana charities.

Calls to Do Better go out to LA Rams head coach Jeff Fisher for disrespecting a Hall of Famer and to San Diego Chargers fans for their effort. A repo man shows he can be Better at Life and we close the show by recognizing a Kitsap Sea Hawkers member for repping the club and going above and beyond in his community service efforts.

134: Russell Wilson is all the way back, Anthony Nachreiner preveiws the Bucs matchup, and the Sea Hawkers join in on the houses for Haiti effort Nov 24, 2016

If there were any questions about the health of Russell Wilson going into the matchup against the Eagles, there is no doubt about his health now as we watched him catch the first touchdown pass of his career on a throw from Doug Baldwin. With another effort of 100+ yards, Baldwin now finds himself among the top Seahawks receivers of all time. The guys talk about why Baldwin deserves to make his first Pro Bowl as one of the top receivers in the NFL. Adam and Brandan also get into the Seahawks latest injury issues and discuss whether the team let Christine Michael go too soon.

Before the preview with the Bucs, the guys take a trip to Prisco's World. Apparently the sickness is beginning to spread and the population of Planet Prisco is growing, and a former Rams quarterback is parroting Pete's words when it comes to Russell Wilson.

Anthony Nachreiner of Nach on Sports joins the show to talk about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He and other Bucs fans are riding high after back-to-back wins and he lets us know what to expect with the Bucs defense that has issues in the secondary. Anthony says it could be a big day for Jimmy Graham, but also says the Seahawks may have to be concerned about the Bucs tight end as well.

The guys close out the final part of the show with a discussion with the president of the Tornado Alley Sea Hawkers who is championing an effort for the Sea Hawkers clubs to join Cliff Avril in helping to build a house in Haiti. The current goal is to raise enough for one home on behalf of the club and they're halfway to the $6,500 goal. More information is up on their Facebook event page.

Do better nods go to the Eagles for not even practicing correctly, and Adam goes after a phenomenon that has been sweeping social media. The father of an NFL linebacker for the Packers gets Brandan's choice for Better at Life while Adam has some positive things to say about one of his arch nemeses.

133: Eagles preview with a lifelong Philly fan, Fant stays in at left tackle, Thomas Rawls ready to play Nov 19, 2016

The 5-4 Philadelphia Eagles travel to Seattle this weekend after taking down the Atlanta Falcons and their number one offense. The Eagles defense held the Falcons to only 15 points and continue to dominate on their home turf. But they only have one win on the road to this point in the season. Brandan has this defensive front ranked only behind teams like the Cardinals and Rams and are a huge key to their success. Adam thinks that a more mobile Russell Wilson has a chance to become the first quarterback to pass for more than 300 yards against this defense.

Eagles fan Scott Fenimore comes on the show to talk about his impressions of the Eagles and whether he thinks Carson Wentz is the kind of quarterback that can lead the Eagles to a Super Bowl. He believes that even with the success of Dak Prescott that Wentz will be the best quarterback to come out of this draft class. Scott also talks about the weaknesses of this defense as well as inconsistencies with the wide receivers who play on the outside.

In the last segment of the show, the guys thank the listeners who submitted reviews recently. Adam goes after Skype and any other piece of software that requires automatic updates in his Do Better pick this week. Brandan closes the show by talking about Thomas Rawls and how he appears ready to go and his infectious personality that shows his enthusiasm for the upcoming game.

132: The Dark Knight Returns, Wilson vs Brady separated by one big stat, Jen Briney of Congressional Dish Nov 16, 2016

Most Seahawks fans knew that it would be touch to expect a victory going on the road to take on Genghis Tom and the Patriots, but our Seahawks got it done. The 31-24 win came down to the final seconds of the game, something that is now becoming a weekly tradition. The offensive line did well to protect Russell Wilson, who threw for nearly 350 yards. By all accounts Wilson showed that he could outduel Brady, but there was one stat that really separated these two quarterbacks.

A ton of credit for the win goes to the defense, a group that once again was able to keep the opposing team out of the end zone with another goal line stand. Coach Carroll helped make it a bit more interesting by going for two late in the game, and the guys talk about how Carroll was taking an opportunity to close out the Patriots and would have made the end of the game a lot less stressful. The guys revisit the discussion about Kam Chancellor from last show, because Kam came out and proved the kind of impact that he can have on this defense as he had several key plays that helped lead the team to victory.

Jen Briney of Congressional Dish, and a fan of the Patriots, joins the show this week to talk about what it was like watching the game in a mixed Seahawks/Patriots household. Because she's a fan of a team that gets a lot of sports hate, we ask her for advice on how Seahawks fans should cope with a growing amount of NFL fans who dislike our Seattle team as well. We get into a bit of a political chat and also talk media. Even though she doesn't describe herself as a journalist, she does do actual journalism in how she approaches her research and reporting for her show.

As we welcome new members of the flock, we learn that using fire can be an effective tool for disposing of unwanted Patriots propaganda. A thank you to our overseas listeners who came through with some reviews of the show this past week, and Tim emails to talk about Jimmy Graham works as a replacement in terms of a role Marshawn Lynch filled in seasons past. Do Better nods go to Pro Football Focus and someone who was intimately involved with Von Miller. A sports writer redeems himself from things he said a few weeks back and Russell Wilson earns another week in the Better At Life segment.

131: Carpenter not fined for kicking Sherman, Seahawks advantages vs the Patriots, and Belichick steals a page from Lynch's playbook Nov 11, 2016

The guys return home to Montana after a great trip out to Seattle for the Monday Night Football game against the Buffalo Bills. The Seahawks picked up their fifth win of the season with a 31-25 victory and the guys take a look at some of the biggest plays, concerns with the secondary, and take a closer look at the play at the end of the half. If Dan Carpenter's wife thinks it's okay to suggest that Sherman be castrated, then I think it's fair to question the league on why they didn't fine the Bills kicker for drilling our cornerback with his foot.

Considering there's a lot of anxiety among Seahawks fans going into this game against the Patriots, Adam helps break down some of the matchups where Seattle may be favored. Even though the Seahawks are underdogs of more than a touchdown, this is a winnable game for the team. How many times have we seen them perform at their best when others have been doubting them the most?

In the second half of the show we run down the winners of the pick'em leagues and we have our first person who picked a perfect slate of games in Week 9. In Do Better we talk about the NFL head of officiating calling out the crew during the Monday Night Football game and the issues that creates. Bill Belichick gets questions that could create a distraction for the Patriots, but he takes a page out of Marshawn Lynch's playbook to deflect the media. A Better at Life nod goes to Kam Chancellor who got some great news this week and is also expected back in the lineup against the Patriots. Brandan's nod goes out to all men and women who are serving and who have served in the past - a Happy Veteran's Day to you all.

Seahawks vs Bills postgame show with the U.K. Sea Hawkers Nov 08, 2016

The Seahawks come away with a 31-25 victory over the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football. Adam and Brandan are joined by Stu and Adam of the U.K. Sea Hawkers to talk about another prime time win. But with any win on Monday night game, there in controversy in a Seahawks win and the guys talk about the end of the first half and how fans can expect a new rule to come out of everything that transpired.

The guys talk about an incredible game by Jimmy Graham who goes over 100 yards again and catches two touchdowns in one hand pinned behind his back by a defender. Is Bobby Wagner the best middle linebacker in the league right now? Another 16 tackles this week and he also gets a half a sack.

The Seahawks are 5-2-1 at the halfway point and despite traveling to New England next week, fans can be happy with how this first half have turned out considering the many challenges this team has faced. Not only that, Russell Wilson looks like he's back to form and ready for going into the second half of the season. Wilson even scrambled for a touchdown and was the team's second leading rusher behind Tyler Lockett's one carry for 13 yards.

Can the Seahawks continue to win games in this way? They completely abandoned the running game and the defense continues to be on the field for a majority of the game. Seattle is getting destroyed in time of possession and gave up a ton of yards to the Buffalo Bills. The guys dive into whether that will be sustainable moving forward.

130: Negative plays doom Seahawks vs Saints, Carroll says change is coming in next couple weeks, Bills preview, and revisiting 2016 expectations Nov 03, 2016

The Seahawks go down to New Orleans and jump out quickly against the Saints with a 14-3 lead. But add in a turnover with their inability to sustain a drive and hold the ball in terms of time of possession, the Saint climb back in to within a point of the Seahawks by halftime. While there was a lot of talk about some significant calls and missed calls by the referees, Adam and Brandan explain why this Seahawks team should have been able to outscore Drew Brees and the Saints offense.

Seattle ran fewer than 20 plays in the first half one week after a similar scenario in Arizona. Coach Carroll recognizes the issues the offense is seeing and he says we can expect changes in the upcoming weeks. Does Marshawn Lynch's visit to the Seahawks facility have anything to do with Carroll's expectations for change? Adam and Brandan speculate on the possibilities.

Adam predicts a tight game with the Bills, but it could depend on which Buffalo team shows up. They've been up and down and now have lost back-to-back games to AFC East opponents. To help give their team the spark it needs for the trip to Seattle, Buffalo has called Percy Harvin in off retirement to make the trip out to take on his former team. While Harvin may get the attention, stopping Charles Clay and LeSean McCoy (if they play) should get the Seahawks primary focus.

In the second half of the show, the guys take your emails and revisit the 2016 expectations for the team. Adam wonders if he's somehow the defense minister for our offensive coordinator as he talks about where to appropriately direct blame for poor performance. Do better nods go to a New York Times movie critic while Adam calls out a color analyst from the recent Seahawks game. Better at life honors go to the Cubs in advance of Game 7 of the World Series and to Cliff Avril who is the Seahawks nominee for the 2016 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award.

129: First tie game in Seahawks history, a historic defensive performance, New Orleans Saints preview Oct 27, 2016

Note: We had some technical issues after finishing up with the recording this week. Adam's audio was sucked into the same vortex as Hauschka's game winning field goal, so we're going with his back up audio AND he's on the road, which makes it even worse.

There's a lot to process with this week's tie game against the Cardinals. Not only was it the lowest scoring tie game in NFL history, it was the first time the Seahawks have ever tied an opponent. Adam and Brandan take you through the historic effort by the defense with incredible performances by Bobby Wagner, Cliff Avril and many others. We could run down the entire defensive roster if we were only handing out praise. But we also have to talk about the issues the Seahawks have at each of the tackle positions and what we think they'll do moving forward at those spots.

The guys look ahead to the game against the New Orleans Saints, a team that has the ability to score quickly and get out ahead of teams early, especially playing at home. But while playing at home, they also have a tendency to give up a lot of points to their opponents. Every team they've played at home to this point has scored more than 30 points in the Superdome.

In the second half of the show, they take a look at the pick'em leaderboard and this week's winners who only missed two games. Do better nods go out to the continued harping on the decline in NFL ratings when it makes no difference to people who enjoy football (or those who don't) and Adam goes after the NFL commissioner for assuming that all fans are idiots for not being able to understand the complexities of the disparate punishment between end zone celebrations and domestic violence. Better at life nods go to the Seahawks defensive coordinator and to an anonymous photographer for correcting a spelling error in our Seahawks kicker's name that's gone under the radar for many years.

128: Seahawks outplay Falcons 3-to-1, an in-depth look at the Falcons final play, Sunday Night Football vs Arizona Oct 20, 2016

The Seahawks dominate the Falcons for three of the four quarters of Sunday's game and come away with a 26-24 victory. The final wasn't without controversy as Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas broke up a pass intended for Julio Jones and it looked like pass interference could have been called on Sherman. The guys talk about the play and break down some of the differences in the Seahawks defense that allowed the Falcons to run up 21 points in one quarter.

We preview the upcoming matchup with the division rival Arizona Cardinals. The surging Cardinals have won in back-to-back weeks against the 1-5 San Francisco 49ers and 1-5 New York Jets. A Seahawks win means they go up 2.5 games in the standings while a loss puts them only a half-game ahead of the Cardinals.

Adam's do better goes out to the editors of Inside the NFL, and as pointed out by @hwkbdgr, @jaredStanger and posted to @hawkblogger by @EvanonHB, the editors of the show cut the footage of the final offensive play by the Falcons to remove the interaction between Julio Jones and Richard Sherman at the line of scrimmage where Jones hit the helmet of Sherman. Brandan's do better goes to those using the play as an example for why replay should be used for pass interference calls when that play shows how complex and time consuming it would be to allow replay in that situation.

Better at life nods to go the Browns and Eagles for comically showing how ridiculous the new NFL social media policy is by using an electronic football board game to portray the highlights.

Adam closes the show with a story about the New Orleans Saints and how they signed a 14-year-old fan to a contract.

127: Why Seahawks fans should be confident about this Falcons matchup, were Russell Wilson's injuries a blessing, and an interview with Doc Scott Oct 13, 2016

After an early bye week, the Seahawks have an opportunity to get healthy and capture the lead in the NFC West after a Rams loss to the Buffalo Bills. Seattle is set to take on a red hot Atlanta Falcons team that, in back-to-back weeks, has defeated the two teams that faced off in last year's Super Bowl. But this is exactly the type of team the Seahawks have proven they can dominate and the guys explain why this could lead to Matt Ryan's first loss at CenturyLink Field.

Roger in Chicago brings up the question of Russell Wilson and if his limited mobility will prove to be a blessing in disguise in giving him some practice at seeing what can happen when he hangs in the pocket perhaps a bit longer than he normally would. The guys also talk about how the departure of Marshawn Lynch makes this team a bit different in terms of how they might approach opponents from week to week.

Scott McIlroy, a drum and bass DJ known as Doc Scott, joins the show to talk about some of his favorite Seahawks moments including his first trip to CenturyLink. He talks about what got him into music and shares some stories of his early days playing in England. Considering all of his travels around the world, the guys ask about some of the most interesting places in the world where he's watched Seahawks games from. Follow Scott on Twitter @DocScott31 and check out his music at soundcloud.com/docscott31

The guys get into your email, announce the winners of the pick'em league, and talk about some upcoming Sea Hawkers events around the country. A special thanks goes out to our members of the flock coming up on their one-year anniversary supporting the show. Do better nods this week go out to the starting quarterback for the Bills and for a large percentage of the state of Ohio. Better at life nominees are a for a young kicker who delivered a hit that caught a lot of attention from football fans and two Atlanta Falcons who tagged along to help make a difference in the lives of kids at Seattle Children's Hospital.

126: Russell Wilson delivers MVP performance in 27-17 win, offensive line delivers, Seahawks bye week history Oct 05, 2016

The Seattle Seahawks get a 27-17 win over the New York Jets as the team heads into their bye week. Considering the team's dominance at MetLife, is it time to start referring to the stadium as CenturyLink east? And how gratifying was it to see, just days after an article saying how a one-legged Wilson was as useful as a right handed Jim Zorn, Russell Wilson deliver one of the best performances of his career. Just barely into his fifth season, Wilson is standing alone among quarterbacks who came before him. The guys explain.

Wilson isn't the only one who gets a ton of credit for the win. The guys talk about how the Seahawks first rounder picked right back up where he left off in the preseason and with Justin Britt's pancake blocks, and Glowinski having a solid performance are giving this interior offensive line an attitude we haven't seen from a Seahawks offensive line in recent memory. Jimmy Graham and Doug Baldwin continue to catch nearly everything thrown their way while the defense is as dominant as ever.

As the team heads into the bye week, the guys look back at what the team has done coming out of the bye week as well as their records going into each bye in the Carroll era. The expectation for the Atlanta Falcons is that they'll get shut down by a Denver defense in Week 5, but we'll reserve additional thoughts until next week after seeing what they can do against the Broncos.

Do better nods go out to Carolina Panthers Mike Tolbert and New York Giants Odell Beckham Jr. while a rookie Seahawks receiver gets his recognition in Better at Life. A Ryder Cup moment closes the show, because it truly was something a person would never see happen in any other professional sporting event.

Upcoming Sea Hawkers Events:

125: Seahawks win big vs 49ers, Russell Wilson suffers another injury, who should play QB vs Jets, Sep 29, 2016

Seahawks fans finally get what they've been expecting to see from this year's team as Seattle jumps out to a 37-3 lead against the San Francisco 49ers. Two late touchdowns by the Niners brings the final score to 37-18, but there wasn't a point in the game where the Seahawks weren't in control. From the third play of the game where Christine Michael bolted into the end zone from 41 yards out to the final touchdown catch by Doug Baldwin from the backup quarterback, the outcome of the game was never in question.

The guys talk about the injury to Russell Wilson and how they feel about the idea of having him play in the game against the Jets. Does it make sense to have him sit out and be ready for the 12-game stretch of regular season opponents after the bye week? With the Jets coming off a performance where they turned over the ball eight times, it's possible Seattle can go to the east coast and pick up a win with Trevone Boykin.

With Thomas Rawls out for a few more weeks the Seahawks go out and sign C.J. Spiller after he was cut from the New Orleans Saints. We'll be talking more about Spiller along with Luke Wilson's changing role in this week's bonus show. Brandan gets political in both his do better and better at life nods, while Adam shares of piece of his mind with Peyton Manning's forehead and explains why a top defensive player in the NFL is better at life.

Lastly, a special thanks to this week's Associate Producer, David Glennon.

124: What went wrong vs the Rams, getting the run game on track vs 49ers, Rich Madrid interview Sep 22, 2016

The Seahawks lose their first road game of the season, 9-3 in Los Angeles, and at this point should we really be surprised that it came at the hands of a Rams team that continues to find a way to beat Seattle even after moving into the same time zone? Though we knew going into this game it was going to be a tough matchup for this Seahawks offensive line, there are a couple players that stand out in a bad way and one player that is now standing above the rest. Defensively, this team couldn't be playing much better, but they couldn't seem to get a stop when the Rams were deep in their own territory and that made field position a key part of the game.

With San Francisco next up on the schedule, the guys wonder which 49ers defense shows up this week in Seattle. Will it be the one that shut down Todd Gurley and shut out the Rams in their home opener, or the one that allowed 176 rushing yards and more than 500 yards total against the Carolina Panthers. For the defense to continue dominating the opposition, the guys look for Deshawn Shead to bounce back against San Francisco and their group of mediocre receivers.

In the final segment of the show, the guys announce the winners of the pick'em leagues from the last two weeks and talk about how our international listeners can help earn the show an award. Do better nods go out to the Rams and Mrs. Craven, the mother of an NFL player. A long snapper for the Eagles and Marshawn Lynch is going Beast Mode in retirement as both earn nominations for this week's better at life segment.

123: Seattle's throwback to 2013 in a win, the Rams week 1 trap game, former Seahawks long snapper Nate Boyer interview Sep 15, 2016

The Seahawks open the season with a 12-10 win over the Miami Dolphins. Defense and special teams carried the day for most of the game and the offense comes up with a 75-yard drive when they need it most to earn the victory. While Brandan wants to hand deliver a game ball to Dolphins receiver Kenny Stills, Adam gives his to Jeremy Lane who had a tremendous impact as part of the Legion of Boom. The defense, apart from one star player, seemed to have its swagger and looked like the defense that led the scoring the past four years.

The guys preview the game against the Rams and cover the most interesting play from their week 1 game against the 49ers. Adam talks about how fans can completely throw logic out the window when it comes to the games where the Seahawks play the Rams.

Former Seahawks long snapper and Army veteran Nate Boyer returns to the show and the guys discuss the Seahawks demonstration of unity and talk about their disappointment with much of the media leading up to the game. He also talks about the moment he decided he was going to give long snapping a try and unfortunately his phone hasn't been ringing this preseason to get back into competing for a position on an NFL team.

Adam wants a phone that fits in his hand and has the ability to text in an italics font. Because no company has seemed to come up with the second part, he feels that phone programmers should do better. Brandan takes on the media and how they're misguiding people with regard to the NFL protests. Better at life nominations go to a St. Louis sports bar and the Seahawks for knowing when it's time to move on.

122: Kicking off the 2016 season vs the Miami Dolphins, Seahawks roster rundown, Sam Marcoux of the Perfectville podcast Sep 07, 2016

It's here! The regular season of the NFL is upon us and the Seahawks kick off the 2016 season at home against the Miami Dolphins. This is a special game for Adam, considering how he's shown no attempt to hide is disdain for the Dolphins over the years. The guys preview the matchup with the Dolphins and go over the 53 players who made the cut as well as the announcement of team captains.

Sam Marcoux, host of the Perfectville podcast for the Miami Dolphins, joins the show to talk about his thoughts on Miami's preseason. He says this can be a make or break year for the Dolphins and whether Ryan Tannehill can be their future franchise quarterback. Sam answers Adam's biggest question of whether or not the Dolphins have a tight end with the ability to consistently burn the Seahawks defense.

121: 53-man roster predictions, takeaways from the preseason win over the Cowboys, Tom Spindler president of the Mat-Su Sea Hawkers Aug 30, 2016

This week, Adam and Brandan kick off the show by hitting the highlights from the Seahawks 27-17 preseason win over the Cowboys. While there are concerns out there with the ability to stop the run and get to the quarterback, Brandan and Adam come up with a scale of effort to explain why Cliff Avril and Michael Bennett may not be as effective in the preseason. Russell Wilson and the first-team offense put points on the board for the first time this year and Boykin adds one on for good measure late in the game to help solidify the win.

Before the news of roster cuts started to roll out on Monday, the guys laid out their predictions on who would make the team. While Adam thought there was still a chance Browner would make the team, it wasn't something he was confident about. Who does that leave a spot open for on the defense?

Tom Spindler, president of the Mat-Su Sea Hawkers, joins the show to talk about his thoughts on the Cowboys game and outlook for the 2016 season. The chapter is one of the few, and maybe the only one, with federal non-profit charity status and he talks about how their club's work goes toward benefitting the local community.

There was another huge week of support from listeners as we got several emails, reviews, and new members of the flock coming on board. Find out why the Arizona Cardinals GM and a Kansas City Chiefs tight end need to do better, while K.J. Wright gets a nod for being better at life. Adam puts Kaep up for his better at life nominee.

120: Michael continues to impress vs Vikings, the return of Mr. T, and Sam Smith talks 2016 expectations Aug 22, 2016

It's the first loss of the season as the Seahawks fall 18-11 to the Vikings. Despite a late interception that allowed the go ahead touchdown for the Vikings, Trevone Boykin had another exciting outing and once again nearly brought the team back at the end of the game. Adam and Brandan talk about what they saw with the first team offense as Christine Michael continues to impress. Russell Wilson had an impressive dime that he dropped right to Tyler Lockett. Not so impressive was the Seahawks pass rush or the ability to cover tight ends.

It's another trip to Prisco's World this week as Pete continues to throw around the "good, not great" quote when speaking about Russell Wilson. But who are some of the other names that Prisco has attached that phrase to? It sounds like Wilson might be in some impressive company when you look at other players Prisco has dropped into that category.

Sam Smith of the Military Sea Hawkers joins the show to talk about the game. For members of the military chapter, Sam writes a weekly recap of the game to help folks serving overseas feel more connected to the team. He talks about his thoughts on this latest game as well as his expectation for the Seahawks in 2016.

**Note: There are some audio quality issues in the later parts of the show. We had a different set up while Adam is on the road and hopefully we can get the audio problems fixed for the next show.

Lastly, the guys read your emails before getting into a Do Better and Better at Life. Is it possible for Adam to admit he's wrong twice in one show? Bleacher Report seems to be testing a new style of headline writing that Adam is not a fan of and Brandan takes Ryan Lochte to task for not knowing how to lie to his mom. Adam shares the praises of Pro Football Focus for their marks on our "undersized" center while Brandan has found even more reasons to hope that Troymaine Pope finds a spot on this Seahawks team.

119: Seahawks first 'Holy Catfish' moment of 2016 season vs Chiefs, Jordan Babineaux and Jermaine Kearse interviews Aug 16, 2016

The longer Pete Carroll coaches, the more efficient he becomes, because we're only one game into the preseason and he already has the young players understanding the mentality of the team to play until the last second ticks off the clock. That's exactly what the team did this week as the Seahawks trailed for the entirety of the game. All sixty minutes! With all zeros on the clock Trevonne Boykin tosses a hail mary to put the Seahawks within a point of the Chiefs and they're able to win on the 2-point conversion. Adam and Brandan talk about some of the takeaways from this week's game and which players and position groups have them the most excited.

The guys talk about their visit to training camp and welcome Jordan Babineaux and Jermaine Kearse to the show. They're also joined by Petty Officer 1st Class Derek Hall as he spends his day at camp getting ready to run an obstacle course set up for the military after the Seahawks finish up practice.

In the final segment of the show, the guys cover emails from the past week and talk about strange rivalries within the fanbase. Jason Cole from Bleacher Report is taken to task in the Do Better segment again. Finally, a Browns receiver and a Seahawks player we've talked about a lot this offseason is getting a very special opportunity. The guys talk about why both are 'better at life.'

118: 2016 Season Expectations, John Costacos talks about Seahawks posters new and old Aug 05, 2016

A huge show to kick off the 2016 season with training camp underway we're starting to see where some of the major areas of competition will be. Adam and Brandan talk about how cornerback is shaping up to be a fun spot to watch. The team on offensive line has five guys showing up consistently among the starting group. Competition at some of the final defensive line spots may have gotten easier now that Chris Clemons has decided to retire right before camp. The guys talk about what that means for the team.

The main thing this show is about is looking at not just our own expectations for the team, but the expectations of fellows fans. Ross Bell of the UK Sea Hawkers and co-host of The Pedestrian Podcast joins the show to talk about his thoughts and how he thinks this will be a breakout season for Cassius Marsh. Clinton Bonner, contributor on seahawkerspodcast.com shares his top picks from his upcoming 3 In, 3 Out blog that focuses on the offseason. His top pick for a breakout year is Frank Clark.

With the new Armed and Dangeruss poster hitting the streets, the first Costacos brothers poster in decades, John Costacos joins the show to talk about stories about how his company got started and his memories from poster shoots with Kenny Easley, Steve Largent and The Boz. John talks about how much Russell Wilson influenced the final product of the poster and the feedback, both good and bad, since the poster has launched. Are we about to see a sports poster resurgence? We'll find out. Visit costacosbrothers.com to find out how to get the new Russell Wilson poster.

In the final segment of the show we have a big announcement for prizes in the Sea Hawkers Podcast pick'em league and how the guys will be randomly selecting for prizes this year for those who are participating. The guys talk about some things to look for when it comes to offensive line play and what exactly a pancake block is. A top player from the Arizona Cardinals and a member of the national media originally from Washington state need to do better, and Adam talks about why your eyeballs will be thanking the Pittsburgh Steelers as Brandan nominates a top player from the Cardinals as his better at life nominee this week.

117: Know Your Rival: San Francisco 49ers w/ Oscar of the Better Rivals Podcast Jul 29, 2016

A while back the guys talked about being nervous if Training Camp rolled around and John Schneider or Pete Carroll didn't have a new deal. It turns out nobody has to be nervous now that the two are under long-term deals. Adam and Brandan talk about a couple other news items -- like a new Russell Wilson poster, before moving on to the main topic of the show.

Oscar of the Better Rivals podcast joins us to talk about the "Walsh Lobe" portion of the brain that all 49ers fans who lived through the 80s have. We talk about an offensive line that may be more questionable than the Seahawks and a line that may not know which quarterback they'll be protecting. Oscar offers his thoughts on who he expects to start at that position. Because his Better Rivals isn't just about 49ers football, it's also about having a deeper understanding of the game, we talk about how a quarterback can develop something Adam has mentioned on the show before -- the dreaded "David Carr syndrome."

In the final portion of the show, Adam responds to an upset listener from last week's rant. Do better nods this week go to reporters to attempt to predict schedule strength as well as a former 49ers linebacker who, if it was even him, doesn't know when to leave the camera off. Lastly, two Seattle sports icons are recognized in Better at Life.

116: Know Your Rival: Los Angeles Rams w/James and Bear of the LA Rams Podcast Jul 22, 2016

With only a week to go until training camp and no major news to concern Seahawks fans, some were a bit worried about the latest comments from Michael Bennett talking about being underpaid. We've heard this story before. Adam and Brandan talk about their two big concerns going into camp: uncertainty on the offensive line and Tyler Lockett hype. With Pete Prisco putting Kam on the top of his list of most overrated players, it's time for another edition of Prisco's World--now with theme music.

The Know Your Rival series continues with James and Bear of the LA Rams Podcast. How well did the trade for Jared Goff go over with them? The guys get into which back will have the better season between Thomas Rawls and Todd Gurley and we need your help figuring out the stakes of this competition. Tweet your #RawlsGurley suggestions to @AdamTheRant and @LA_RAMblingBear.

115: Know Your Rival: Arizona Cardinals w/Mike Wright of the Fantasy Footballers Podcast Jul 15, 2016

If you follow the world of podcasting, you may have noticed that the Fantasy Footballers Podcast is collecting awards in the same way the Arizona Cardinals like to collect wideouts with the last name Brown. Mike Wright, a fan of the Arizona Cardinals and co-host of the Fantasy Footballers Podcast joins us to talk about how Arizona fans are feeling going into this season.

Not only is there tremendous optimism for a team defending its NFC West crown, fans got to enjoy a treat in the past couple weeks of the All of Nothing series which gave an unprecedented look behind the scenes of a football team with Super Bowl aspirations. The guys talk about some of the surprising moments from the show and try and talk Adam into watching it too.

Adam and Mike talk about how this season could hinge on the health of Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer, while Mike predicts this year as the final year of Larry Fitzgerald's career. Adam and Mike disagree on their assessment of Cardinals running back David Johnson while trying to slot the talent of three young backs going into their second year. Who is best among Thomas Rawls, Todd Gurley and Johnson?

Before getting into Cardinals talk, Adam and Brandan talk about the good news from Thomas Rawls about his health for the start of training camp. The guys talk about whether the team is really set at the backup QB spot and how wedding bells are ringing for two members of the team.

Finally, do better nods go out to the media and how they're handling the latest decision by the courts in Tom Brady's case, while Adam has a rant about his latest trip to Best Buy. Better at life this week are Pat McAfee for his performance in the NFL Top 100 as well as his story of his success and Adam gives a shout out to Marshawn Lynch.

114: Doug Baldwin gets paid, ESPN pits Luck vs Wilson, interview w/Stephen Cohen of seattlepi.com Jul 02, 2016

With the news of Doug Baldwin's new contract extension breaking this week and the long holiday weekend, we wanted to get out a show for folks to enjoy while at the lake or back at work the following week. Brandan and Adam talk about what Doug Baldwin means to this team and how it's a great story of how hard work has helped Baldwin make it to this point of his career after going undrafted.

ESPN's Sheil Kapadia helped show statistically why we feel like Russell Wilson is better than Andrew Luck -- it's because he is and he's proven it on the field. It doesn't hurt that he's played on a better team, but it shouldn't be a detracting factor when comparing the talent of each player.

We revisit offseason workouts and get the opinions of Stephen Cohen of seattlepi.com and his thoughts on the Doug Baldwin contract. We talk about just how valuable his play has been for the team and how his play toward the end of last season helped vault him among the top paid receivers in the NFL.

Richard Sherman has his annual softball game coming up while Cliff Avril is set to appear on Family Feud with four other star players on defense for the NFC. Do Better nods go to millennials who have a strange excuse for not eating cereal and an online news source that keeps baiting Adam into clicking on its articles. Tune in to find out which former NFL coach and the peer in podcasting who get tagged as "better at life."

113: News from the Seahawks offseason workouts, Lynch says he's done, and List Watch 2016 Jun 25, 2016

Minicamp and other offseason workouts have concluded. Brandan and Adam talk about some of the major story lines coming out of Seattle. With all of the positive news coming from players and coaches, the guys talk about how to listen and certain cues that let you know just how excited about a particular player coaches actually are.

Marshawn Lynch appeared on 60 Minutes Sports and was very clear on whether or not he'll be returning to the football field. Is that going to stop reporters from speculating on his return? No, it probably won't.

Because this is the season for making lists, we take a look at some of them and see just how poorly some of our favorite Seahawks rank out on those lists. From Earl Thomas taking a tremendous fall from where he was last year in the NFL Top 100 to Pete Prisco's ranking of Russell Wilson in his own top 100 list, the guys take a run at each of them as well as give credit where it is due.

After our own list that we put together over the voting period for this year's Podcast Awards, we got some feedback from regular listeners as well as a first-time listener. Brian Bosworth tuned into our show about him and had a few reactions to it that we share in the second half of the show.

Lastly, in the Do Better segment, Brandan goes after Coach Carroll for ruining the hopes and dreams of a former NBA star and someone who would have at least been fun to see in the preseason while Adam goes after another list maker who may have had the worst list of them all in his opinion. Better at Life nods this week go to the NFL for their rule that has the potential to ruin the Packers season and to Walter Thurmond III for having an outstanding softball alias.

112: Ricardo Lockette retires, draft recap w/Rob Staton, big weekend coming up for Seahawks fans in Seattle May 15, 2016

It's a show filled with interviews! Brandan and Adam are joined by Earl Lockette who talks about his son Ricardo and his announcement to retire from football. Being a guy who coached his son in football, and considering Lockette was the best "gunner" in the game, we try and get to the bottom of where that term comes from.

Last week we talked draft, and this week we get the added perspective from Rob Staton of Seahawks Draft Blog. Plus, we give him some credit for correctly predicting the Seahawks first pick. Rob helps explain why the Seahawks saw a need for drafting three running backs and the special qualities each one provides.

For Seahawks fans within traveling distance to Seattle, this weekend has two big events to help you through your football withdrawals. Saturday, May 21, is the Sea Hawkers Annual Banquet and Paul Beyer talks about the current and former players invited to attend. Norb Caoili (NorbCam) and Mark Collins (Save Our Seahawks) come on to talk about Hawk Fest 2016 on Sunday, May 22, 1-5pm at the Ballard Elks Lodge.

We wrap up with the show with an email contradicting Adam's view of the draft, Pro Football Focus and the L.A. Rams need to "do better," and a 15-year-old Canadian along with Ricardo Lockette are this week's "better at life" nominees.

111: Seahawks 2016 NFL Draft Recap May 06, 2016

The Seahawks changed up in the NFL draft this year and showed they do care about the offensive line by taking a lineman in the first round for the first time since 2011. While the team made Adam happy with the offensive line picks, Brandan wonders if John Schneider was specifically trolling Adam by taking not just one running back, not to backs, but three running backs. The guys get into a discussion about how the offensive line in shaping up with three new draft picks and where it sounds like those players are going to be competing.

One particular guy of intrigue from the draft is the tight end from Ohio State nicknamed Baby Gronk and there's specific audio and responses to some questions that show exactly why he fits that description well. Both guys like the team's sixth round pick and was a guy the Seahawks had targeted as a player they just couldn't come out of the draft without.

By the end of the show you'll know about who the Seahawks feel was the best run stopping defensive tackle in the draft, the best blocking tight end, the wide receiver with the best hands, and the running back who is the best at Irish dance.

In the final segment of the show, Adam talks about the issue of online abuse of sports reporters and how the latest story missing the bigger picture by focusing on a particular group of reporters. Brandan's do better topic focuses on a civics lesson for Seahawks fans. Better at life nominees go to Kobe Bryant for saving a giant potato and Richard Sherman for having a little fun behind the wheel.

110: Top QB prospects, the Seahawks next backup QB, original LOB reunited Apr 26, 2016

The 2016 NFL Draft is only days away and the division rival Los Angeles Rams have the top pick. They're almost sure to be spending that pick on a quarterback, so Adam and Brandan take a look at their best options. They guys talk about which guy is the best in the draft and which quarterback they'd prefer to the Rams to talk. Adam's list of top five quarterbacks looks nothing like the consensus top picks and he explains why.

The Seahawks haven't yet re-signed Tarvaris Jackson. Pete Carroll and John Schneider have only drafted one quarterback for Seattle. Is this the year they spend a pick on QB, or does Adam's third favorite quarterback fall out of the draft entirely to where he could come into Seattle as a perfect fit behind Russell Wilson.

Brandon Browner is back in Seattle and reunites with the team and the original Legion of Boom. Why does this move have Adam and Brandan so intrigued? After a rough season in New Orleans, does Browner have anything left in the tank? Browner actually fills a very specific need that the team was missing last year, but we'll have to wait and see if Coach Carroll feels the same way.

Do better nods this week go to Tiger Woods for a story that came out about a time he had lunch with a group of Navy SEALs, and to the Panthers for making a seemingly strange decision to let one of their top defensive players go. Brandan talks about some excitement around a new movie trailer and Adam wishes a happy birthday to a Seahawks player he wants to see playing in Seattle in 2016.

109: Seahawks draft talk with Rob Staton, 2016 schedule with Dave Bloomquist Apr 16, 2016

NFL Draft talk and the release of the 2016 NFL Schedule dominate this week's jam packed show. Adam and Brandan start the show by talking about an offensive lineman they'd like to see land with the Seahawks, Jason Spriggs a tackle from Indiana, and why Spriggs seems like the type of guy Seattle would want.

To get deeper into the draft, Rob Staton of Seahawks Draft Blog and co-host of the 3000 NFL Mock Draft Podcast breaks down his formula for identifying players most likely to fit the Seahawks profile for an offensive lineman. He points out the formula isn't a predictor of performance in the NFL, but a predictor of a player with the traits the team tends to look for. Rob also offers his thoughts on the one player more than any other he'd like to see fall to Seattle, guys at other skill positions, and another offensive lineman who might be his favorite story in the draft.

Next Adam and Brandan get into the schedule and welcome on listener Dave Bloomquist to talk about the schedule. There wasn't a more outspoken critic of last season's schedule, so what does Dave have to think about it this year?

After a few news items, we get into your emails and comments. In the Do Better segment, Adam talks about his recent trip to get his license renewed before the guys break down an arrest video by former Heisman Trophy winner and 49ers backup quarterback Troy Smith. Better at life nods go to former Seahawk Patrick Kerney for giving back to players in the league by sharing his knowledge and experience. Lastly, Adam explains why Inky the octopus is better at life than Skip Bayless.

108: 2016 offensive line "in good shape," a look at drafting defensive line and how NFL Network disrespected Steve Largent Mar 31, 2016

A couple weeks back, we looked at the first wave of NFL free agents and now the Seahawks and the rest of the NFL are on to wave two. The guys talk about the impact of Russell Okung heading to Denver, how to gauge how well he did without an agent despite initial media reports talking about how terrible it was, and what the Seahawks are going to do next with their two most senior offensive lineman out the door.

Adam and Brandan get into comments made by Bruce Irvin and how the Seahawks held him back from reaching his full potential. They also try and read into comments by the Seahawks and Kam Chancellor about how everything seems to be good on both sides at this point. What did either side get out of the meeting to feel so great about where they stand now going into the upcoming season.

With the NFL draft less than a month away, the guys talk defensive lineman and a few of the guys on their radar coming out of the combine and who would be available in the first couple rounds for the Seahawks. Even though offensive line appears to be a strong need, Adam and Brandan talk about why it's possible that Seattle won't address the position right away in the draft.

After the break, the guys get into your Facebook comments and emails. They explain why NFL Network and Todd McShay both need to do better. Lastly, why Bryce Harper and Aaron Rodgers and better at life than Skip Bayless.

107: Free agency begins, saying goodbye to some key players, and Matt Hasselbeck's return to Seattle Mar 11, 2016

Free agency has begun and while the Seahawks haven't yet brought in any players from outside the organization, the focus has been keeping the guys who wanted to test the market. Unfortunately, it also means we have to say goodbye to players who had a big impact on the Seahawks playoff runs over the past few years. J.R. Sweezy heads to Tampa to join the Bucs, Brandon Mebane goes to the Chargers and Bruce Irvin becomes a member of the Raiders. Adam and Brandan offer their thoughts about free agency to this point.

In other news, the guys look forward to welcoming Matt Hasselbeck back to Seattle (even if it is only for a day), talk about Kam Chancellor wanting to buy a gym being some sort of reason to call the police and why is Marshawn Lynch still on the team's payroll.

After the break, some comments and questions about free agency and the difference between the Seahawks and the Broncos defenses last season. What can the Seahawks do to bounce back? Do Better nominees go to an NFL insider and a major news network for some interesting moments in free agency. Better at life honors go to a 12 who ripped a championship from a Broncos fan and a former NBA star who has his sights on the NFL.

106: Seahawks free agents, combine news and emails Feb 29, 2016

The guys talk about Pete Caroll and John Schneider as they make an appearance at the combine in Indianapolis for their first press conferences since the end of the season. Adam and Brandan talk about the injury updates they offered along with the other bits of information of interest to Seahawks fans. With free agency just around the corner, the guys talk about which current players they would prioritize re-signing and which they could consider parting ways with considering the amount of cap space avaiable.

The guys discuss the franchise tag and how for some players it doesn’t make sense consider just how much the pay scale is thrown off by some of the most elite players within a broad position group. On the topic of guys who want to get elite pay, Michael Bennett dropped his agent in favor of the guy who represented Marshawn Lynch and got BeastMode a nice payday for his final year. They talk about what that could mean going forward.

After the break, the guys have some new music to play during the email portion of the show while we read some of your questions and feedback. Do Better nods go out to Elliot Harrison and the NFL, while the NFL is also heralded in the Better at Life segment along with Lady Gaga.

105: Thanks BEASTMODE, a tribute to Marshawn Lynch Feb 22, 2016

When an iconic player like Marshawn Lynch retires, it's something that deserves its own show. Adam and Brandan take a look back at some of the most memorable moments from Marshawn both on the field and off it. The guys take you back to the game where Lynch was first caught on the sidelines reaching for a bag of Skittles to calm his upset stomach to the time where Marshawn went on a home shopping channel to proclaim his love for tasting the rainbow.

Steve Raible has injected the catch phrase "Holy Catfish" into several memorable plays over the years, but you may not remember the first Marshawn Lynch call where it originated. We get into that as well as some of the greatest runs we've ever seen from a Seattle Seahawks running back and arguably the single greatest run we've ever seen in the NFL.

Finally, we talk about how to cope with a player of his magnitude leaving the team and what his credentials are for potential Hall of Fame status. Analysts throw around numbers all the time, but the only number they should be talking about is 2--the number of times Marshawn caused earthquakes to register at CenturyLink Field.

104: Division Round recap, thoughts on the season, was this the last of Marshawn in Seattle? Jan 21, 2016

The first show since our first show that we're coming off a loss in the Divisional Round. While we hoped it would be another year of the podcast leading up to the Super Bowl, it was bound to come to an end sometime. Adam and Brandan talk about the Seahawks matchup with the Panthers and how Carolina's energy propelled them to a tremendous lead.

Yet, even down 31-0, this team didn't give up and fought back. The defense shut the Panthers out the rest of the way and the Seahawks carried a huge amount of momentum through the second half, but simply ran out of time in the end. The guys talk about what this season meant for the team, some of Coach Carroll's thoughts following the game and some early thoughts on the team moving forward.

We get into your emails following the loss, even entertain an email from a Carolina Panthers fan, and discuss the offensive line and how it simply wasn't strong enough to go up against teams with a dominant pass rush. Adam sets a personal goal for the coming season with his do better vote and Brandan goes after an official who has one simple job at the start of overtime. Better at life nods go to a Patriots player who risked his career to save a life as well as the Seahawks organization and a 7-year-old displaced Seahawks fan.

103: Vikings recap, Panthers preview, the first SHP live show Jan 14, 2016

An improbable win for the Seahawks this week as the Vikings kicker misses a late field goal that would've given the team the lead. The win was unlikely for a couple reasons. First, because no playoff team since 1978 has won a playoff game after not scoring in the first three quarters and Blair Walsh missed the shortest field goal that would've given his team a win.

Adam and Brandan talk about how much of it had to do with playing in temperatures that cold and some of the plays that led to a Seahawks win. The defense played another road game where they didn't allow a touchdown and that made a huge difference in Sunday's game.

The guys preview the rematch against the Carolina Panthers. Although the Panthers won their matchup in Seattle earlier this year, there are a lot of things that have changed since the first matchup. Not only that, the Seahawks defense has a solid history of taking down teams that have led the NFL in scoring.

After the break, the guys read some of your reviews along with a great Seahawks story from New Zealand. Do better nods go to the Carolina Panthers for their oddly specific rules on flags and banners and the Bengals who helped blow their chances at moving on in the playoffs. Better at life honors go to Earl Thomas and Colin Cowherd.

102: Cardinals Recap, a record setting defensive season, Vikings preview Jan 06, 2016

The Seahawks put on their Superman costumes and put their undefeated record in their wolf grey uniforms on the line as they go into Glendale for the season finale. Adam and Brandan talk about how unexpected it was for the defense to get the record for scoring defense that seemed out of reach coming into a matchup with a high scoring offense like the Cardinals.

Next up in the playoffs, the Seahawks face one of the tougher defenses, a Vikings defense now more healthy than last time, among the teams in the Wild Card round. But the thing that stands out most from the previous game was the Minnesota offense, completely healthy at the time, failed to put any points on the board.

With temperatures expected to be well below freezing, a couple Montana boys give you tips on how to keep warm if you plan on attending the game. With the tickets much more reasonable than a game in Seattle, anyone in the area, and maybe even outside the area, should try and be there to support the team.

In the final segment of the show, we get into our do better nominations directed toward a two-time coach of the year and a quarterback in disguise. Better at life nods go out to an overseas listener who experienced the beatdown of the Cardinals in person and the UK Sea Hawkers president who had a tremendous impact on the lives of many Seahawks fans.

101: Rams recap, Seahawks potential playoff opponents, Cardinals preview Dec 30, 2015

The Seahawks lose for the third time at home this season, this time losing 23-17 to the St. Louis Rams. Leading from start to finish, they snap Russell Wilson and the Seahawks' streak of having a lead at some point during the game. Adam and Brandan talk about how it seemed like St. Louis was going to win when they managed to fumble their way down the field on their way to 23 points. Seattle had a chance at coming back up until Wilson lost the ball on the 10-yard line with less than five minutes to play.

Looking ahead, the guys take a look at the Seahawks potential playoff matchups and who they'd like to see the team play among the Packers, Vikings and Skins. Based on the outcome of the Seahawks and Cardinals, the Sunday night game could determine which team will play the Seahawks in the first round. This week's game against the Cardinals will be Seattle's first chance to get into playoff mode, playing on the road against a team that has a shot to lock up the top seed and home field advantage throughout the playoffs.

We respond to emails that came in this week before getting into Do Better. This week's picks are the San Diego Chargers organization and a guy in the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association Hall of Fame with more than 20 Sports Emmys on his shelf at home. Better at life honors go out to J.J. Abrams this week and a 15-year veteran wide receiver who has decided to return for a final season.

100: Browns recap, Seahawks lock up Wild Card, Rams preview Dec 24, 2015

So many milestones to celebrate in this week's show. Our 100th show and the Seahawks are into the playoff for four straight seasons. Seattle locks up a wildcard spot with a 30-13 win over the Cleveland Browns at home. Additionally, seven Pro Bowl players are announced for the Seahawks. We talk about who got in and who just missed out.

Thanks to all of the listeners who sent in emails and call wishing us well on our milestone show, in continues with talk about the upcoming matchup with the Rams and whether or not there is any concern about the Rams showing a level of competitiveness against Tampa Bay last Sunday.

Our do better nods go to a basketball player who has a shrine build in China dedicated to his greatness and Kurt Warner or any other analyst who utters the phrase "he's not elite yet, but he's playing at an elite level." Finally, Adam's Better at Life honors go out to a guy who recently signed to the Jets practice squad and as several Seahawks reach some big team and individual milestones this week, Brandan celebrates a milestone in his personal life.

99: Ravens recap, an amazing stretch for Russell Wilson, Browns preview Dec 17, 2015

The Seahawks made their final trip to the east coast for the regular season and as the playoff picture begins to take shape, it looks like they'll be heading back that way to start the postseason. Seattle gets another blowout victory defeating the Ravens 35-6. But it comes with a cost as rookie Thomas Rawls goes down to injury and is out for the rest of the season.

The guys take a look at the running back situation. Fortunately Marshawn Lynch is set to return, maybe in time for the playoffs to start. Until then Bryce Brown will see some action after jumping on and off the roster and now Christine Michael is also returning to the team. But is there much concern about the running game with Russell Wilson playing the way he is and playing at a level never seen before in NFL history.

The guys open up the mailbag in the second half of the show and have a conversation around momentum, a tour fans have to see if they're coming in from out of town for a game, and a review from Italy. Do better nods go to the NFL for changing how officials will review potential penalties in the postseason and the infamous Pete Prisco. Better at life honors go to the Browns organization for a personnel decision and a sideline reporter for reaching a big milestone.

2015 Week 13: Vikings recap, Seahawks put NFL on notice Dec 10, 2015

The Seahawks dominate in a 38-7 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday and the Seattle rookies along with Russell Wilson were some of the biggest highlights of the day. A few conflicts kept us from doing a whole show, but that just means we'll have to come back later this week with a Ravens preview and our traditional Do Better and Better at Life segments.

Until then, we have a huge win to celebrate from Sunday that puts Seattle into the conversation as one of those teams that nobody wants to play in the playoffs. Russell Wilson, after talking up his game last week, goes on to give us another dominant performance showing why a case could be made for him as MVP.

98: Steelers recap, impact of losing Graham for the season, Vikings preview Dec 03, 2015

The Seahawks have been winless against Pittsburgh for more than 10 years, and with the 39-30 victory the Seahawks beat a Ben Roethlisberger-led Steelers team for the first time. Adam and Brandan take a look at a couple critical errors by the Steelers and how the Seahawks were able to continue to show promise through improved offensive line play.

Jimmy Graham is out for the season with a knee injury. How is this going to impact this team moving forward and how might the team respond to one of its top players going down just when things were starting to look like they were coming together.

Next up, a Vikings team that has earned it's 8-3 record by running the ball well and playing defense. The guys look at ways the Seahawks may want to attack Minnesota's defense and how critical it will be for the Seattle defense to hold Adrian Peterson to minimal yards, get out to an early lead and attempt to make the Vikings team one dimensional.

The guys get into your emails and it becomes clear that the win over the Steelers struck a chord with some Seahawks fans. Do better nods go to the NFL head of officiating and Steelers fans. Better at life honors go toward a play caller who has taken a lot of heat this season and Jeremy Lane after coming back into the lineup for the team for the first time since the Super Bowl loss.

97: 49ers recap, two standout performances by Seahawks rookies, Steelers preview Nov 26, 2015

Seattle is back to .500 with a 29-13 win over the San Francisco 49ers. Russell Wilson had a near perfect day and was perfect against the blitz, Thomas Rawls racked up more yards from scrimmage than Christine Michael had rushing yards in his entire Seahawks career, and Tyler Lockett catches two touchdown passes on the day to help the team toward victory. Adam and Brandan talk about the key plays in the game against the 49ers.

Next up is a challenging matchup with the 6-4 Steelers. Big Ben will make his first visit to Seattle as the LOB faces off against a receiving corps and quarterback that rival the NFC West leading Cardinals. With Marshawn Lynch out for the coming weeks, Seahawks fans will get to see a lot more of the Rawling Ball and if he continues to show the talent to pick up where Lynch left off.

Though it's a bit early to talk playoffs, the guys take a look at the question of who Seahawks fans should cheer for in the Minnesota Vikings matchup with the Atlanta Falcons, as that game has big implications for where the Seahawks could end up in the playoff picture.

In the final part of the show, do better nods go out to the 49ers coaching staff and a string of celebrity quarterback reports that shows the incredibly lazy nature of sports journalism. Better at life honors go to a comedian on HBO for his take on a fantasy sports issue and a wide receiver for the Rams who is in stable condition and recovering from a gunshot wounds to the head that were reportedly non-life threatening.

96: Cardinals recap, frustrations with this 2015 team, 49ers preview Nov 18, 2015

Another week against a winning team and another fourth quarter meltdown where the team is unable to hold a lead. As Adam says, "twice is a trend and three times is a you problem," we come to realize that we've never had to get to five before. What is five? We still don't know.

We do know that there was reason to have confidence going into this game, but it's tough when your offense digs a first half hole thanks to penalties. We talk about other uncharacteristic moments that contributed to the loss and why this season has been so frustrating.

Three good things came out of this game: Mr. T scored a touchdown, Doug Baldwin had a big game and red zone efficiency improved. The other good thing is the 49ers are the next team on the schedule. We talk about what the 49ers get by having Blaine Gabbert under center.

We get to your emails, do better nods go to a player agent and a Seahawks fan who needs to know when it's okay to call a game. Better at life honors go to a coach for giving a young player his moment to start and the daughter of a former Seahawks quarterback for a quote that will make you smile.

95: Midseason review, offensive line struggles and previewing the Cardinals matchup Nov 11, 2015

The Seahawks are 4-4 and coming out of their bye week into the second half of the season. A listener from Hawaii emails in to say that this team winning close games is the one we've loved watching over the last few years. The performance over the first half of the season shouldn't be that unexpected. Next, Adam introduces a new moniker to motivate the offensive line for the second half of the season, as they'll be known as the 'ole line' until things improve.

The guys preview the matchup against the Cardinals and similar to last year, the Seahawks provide a tough matchup for a Cardinals team that likes to take shots down the field. Brandan and Adam key in on the running game being a key part of both team's success and the defensive line for the Seahawks could have a great opportunity to attack a Cardinals offensive line that has struggled particularly on the right side. Listener and Patreon donor Ross Wilwerding joins the show to provide some of his thoughts on the matchup.

In the second half of the show, we get into some of the emails that came in over the bye week. One listener makes a call to action over beer prohibition at arbitrary times of the day. Adam the curmudgeon makes an appearance with his disgust over televisions showing up in random spots, while Brandan is too disgusted to talk about Greg Hardy, so he directs his disgust toward Matt Cassel's mustache. Better at life nods go to a pair of Oklahoma quarterbacks in the NFL and Ricardo Lockette.

94: Seahawks 13-12 win over Dallas, Wilson's 4th quarter comeback, Ricardo Lockette update Nov 03, 2015

One more point than the other team is what it takes to win, and that's exactly what the Seahawks do with their 13-12 win over the Dallas Cowboys. Takeaways from this game include another great performance by the defense, an underwhelming performance in the red zone for the offense and continued wishes that Ricardo Lockette recovers from the devastating hit he took right before halftime.

Something that we've missed to this point in the season was Russell Wilson coming through in the clutch in the fourth quarter and that was something he delivered this week. Sure a touchdown would have been nice, but thanks to the defense it was all they needed to get in that final minute following a scoring drive that took a lot of time off the clock.

With a bye next week, the guys rejoice in the fact that Seattle is heading into the bye week at 4-4 and in control of their destiny in terms of reclaiming the NFC West title. Do better nods go out to the local area Adam is currently visiting and the announcers for poorly handling a sensitive moment when Lockette was injured on the field. Marshawn Lynch has another Better at Life worthy act and Brandan gives a shout out to TD for producing one of the NFL's newest podcasts with former Seahawks Michael Robinson and Nate Burleson.

93: 49ers recap, Cowboys preview, discovering the formula for the Seahawks success Oct 28, 2015

For three straight years Seattle has played at the Super Bowl's location during the regular season and won. This time it's a 20-3 victory over the 49ers with a dominant defensive performance. However, if you came away from that game feeling like something was missing, Brandan explains why he thinks there's a really good reason.

Before we get into the matchup with the Cowboys, an email comes in to explain the Seahawks success and failure so far this season. The guys take a look at a Dallas team that looks very different than it did when the season started and a quarterback in Matt Cassel who had a worse quarterback rating with no pressure than Colin Kaepernick had in the game against the Seahawks.

We read your emails and through some discussion we realize the formula for the Seahawks success. In the Do Better segment, Adam voices his frustration with the Cardinals luck so far this season and Brandan talks about why his visit to Levi Stadium was one of the worst experiences he's had as a fan at any profession or college venue cheering for either the home or the visiting team. Better at life nods go to Sammy Hagar who provided fans of the home team with a single bright spot on the day and a listener who successfully converted a 49ers fan to a Seahawks fan.

92: Searching for answers after a Panthers loss, the Pareto principle, 49ers preview Oct 21, 2015

Another fourth quarter meltdown, leads Adam and Brandan to continue to search for answers as to what might be going on with this Seahawks team. Has money and fame changed this team, is poor conditioning to blame why they aren't able to pull through in the end, or is it the Pareto principle. Adam explains the principle and how it applies to the Seahawks situation.

Though we've gotten away from pointing fingers at the offensive line, the guys seem to settle on the inability to protect Russell Wilson is a primary reason for their rough start. This defense has given up leads in the past, but Russell Wilson had at least enough of an opportunity to mount a comeback in many games over his past three seasons. That's not happening this year.

Is this the best or worst time of the year to face the 49ers? The outcome of this game could lead this team to the darkest place it has been in the era of coach Carroll. The guys break down what the Seahawks need to do to ensure they come out on the winning side this week.

In the second half of the show, Adam rants on a guy he had to eject from the Facebook page and Brandan has questions about why food stamps are only good for food at particular temperatures. Adam explains why he thinks John Elway is better at life than Skip, and Brandan rewards Alaska Airlines with the honor after a solid customer service experience.

91: Bengals recap, Seahawks need a Cardinal sacrifice, Panthers preview, Patreon annoucement Oct 14, 2015

The guys can't get 10 seconds into the show without a catfish bomb dropping. After blowing a 17-point lead in the fourth quarter and losing 27-24 in overtime to the Cincinnati Bengals, it's tough to think of another more appropriate way to react.

Brandan and Adam take a look at what went wrong and Adam talks about his feelings. He's not mad, but he's more than disappointed, because it's already looking like this team can write off home field advantage after enjoying it for the past two seasons. Brandan feels like it may be time to take a page out of Major League. Just like Pedro Cerrano who couldn't hit the curveball, this defense all of a sudden can't hold a lead in the fourth quarter.

A quick look at the Panthers matchup and a look back at how, as fans, it's important to follow the rules. And we all know the rules, we just have to execute. Know the rule of 18 and what to do.

In the second half of the show we announce the rollout of our Patreon page if you'd like to help support the show. The guys talk about some of the extra things they'll start to do for those who want something extra out of the show and talk about the ways we put the money that's donated back into the show. Check out the page at patreon.com/seahawkerspodcast.

The do better segment is swept by some guys that cover the Seahawks on a weekly basis and Matt Hasselbeck joins Neil deGrasse Tyson with the honor of being better at life than Skip Bayless.

90: Lions recap, more Monday night controversy Oct 06, 2015

The Seattle Seahawks win a close one over the Detroit Lions, 13-10, thanks to a big play by Kam Chancellor and a non-call that goes the Seahawks way. It was the Russell Wilson show doing things only Russell Wilson can do that put the Seahawks in position to win the game, but turnovers and the play along the o-line also allowed this game to be so close. Brandan and Adam talk about the final play on defense and how if K.J. Wright makes that play slightly differently, there is no controversy. But consider the controversy if the refs make the call -- then it's a bad rule that impacted the outcome of the game (just like a certain play in the end zone for the Detroit Lions a few years back).

It's a short show (no Bengals preview), because we had time to get a show in before we hit the road back to Montana. We get into our customary Do Better and Better at Life segments with observations on the CenturyLink crowd and around the stadium, and how Coke is negatively impacting Adam's life.

89: Bears recap, state of the NFC West, Lions preview Oct 01, 2015

The Seahawks get into the win column for the first time this season with a 26-0 victory over the Chicago Bears. There's a lot to be excited about from this game, but as listeners will notice from Adam's tone, there's also some things that continue to frustrate fans. Special teams was a big part of this win with 10 points coming from kick and punt returns and another nine points in field goals.

After the recap of the Bears, the guys take a look at the state of the NFC West. How are things playing out three weeks into the season compared to what was expected before the season started? The Cardinals are having a ton of success to this point. At what point in the season with the Arizona Cardinals be tested?

Next up on the schedule is the Detroit Lions. Adam contends this this team is one that does nothing well, and Brandan thinks it's clear they're better than the Bears. If there's one thing we can depend on for the Lions so far this season is to not show up in the second half of the football game, which is where Seahawks fans have seen their team show some proficiency to this point.

Do better nods this week go to Chris Sims of Bleacher Report as well as any analyst who dares to talk about our cornerback not having enough speed merely by watching his punt return. Better at Life nods go to NASA scientists and Richard Sherman for his postgame commentary.

88: Packers recap, play calling versus execution, Bears preview Sep 23, 2015

Kam Chancellor is coming back to the Seahawks. But you wouldn't know it by listening to this episode, because we recorded the night before the big news.

Instead of that news, we talk about the Green Bay loss and everyone's insistence to make sure nobody is panicking.There was a lot to be frustrated about in the loss to the Packers. Adam narrows it down to penalties in the first half leading to points for the Green Bay offense early. We talk bout how Jimmy Graham did not get involved in the game, and how we interpret play calling versus play execution and how it might dictate where you want to send your waves of frustration toward.

After an 0-2 start, the Bears are looking like the perfect team to get the Seahawks back on track. Chicago is giving up tons of points and yards on defense, the offense looks to be without Jay Cutler and the backup did not look great against the Cardinals. Now they have to come into Seattle and deal with a crowd that will be fired up for the home kickoff of the 2015 season.

How do the head coach and offensive coordinator work together? We answer that along with other emails. Brandan goes in defense of Kam Chancellor and anyone that considers his behavior childish. Adam goes on a rant about everyone coming to the defense of Andrew Luck, when nobody seems to do the same for Russell Wilson. Better at life nods go to Chris Boreland, former 49ers linebacker, a guy who has a story that continues to interest us even after retirement as well as a nod to whoever decided to listen to us about putting in cameras as part of the pylons.

87: Packers preview, Troy Heinritz interview (Packers Fan Podcast) Sep 18, 2015

In this show, we preview the Seahawks matchup with the Packers on Sunday Night Football. Not only a matchup of great teams, but the Packers were undefeated at home last season and the Seahawks have only lost one primetime game with head coach Pete Carroll. We talk about some of the matchups we'd like to see the Seahawks take advantage of and the challenges the Seahawks defense will be faced with.

Troy Heinritz of the Packers Fan Podcast joins the show to talk about how he sees the matchup between the two teams. Unfortunately Green Bay jettisoned one of the players who was key to the Seahawks win in January.

It just doesn't count as an actual episode if we don't get to our picks for Do Better and Better at Life. Find out why the state of Pennsylvania and the 49ers need to do better. Plus a reminder of why we pick someone better at life than Skip Bayless: this week Marcus Mariotta and Seahawks fan Ken Graat get the honors.

2015 Week 1: Rams Recap, Chancellor update Sep 15, 2015

Another game and another yard short as the Seahawks lose 34-31 to the Rams to start the 2015 season. Adam and Brandan touch on the positives and the negatives from the past game including a look at the offensive line, red zone performance and a more aggressive style in defense in some aspects. One thing that hasn't changed: Michaell Bennett still seems to think the neutral zone is an okay place to hang out prior to the snap.

We have our first conspiracy theory of the season as Adam thinks Hauschka was executing exactly what he was told to do for the overtime kickoff. He doesn't buy the explanation coming from the players or coaches that the ball was supposed to be kicked farther down the field.

Even with the loss, there were some big plays to be excited about--all from new members of the team. We talk about the sack, strip and score by Cary Williams, Jimmy Graham's touchdown catch and the first regular season punt return by a Seahawks player in a long time.

We take a look at some of the email reactions from the game and give an update on Kam Chancellor from last week along with what seems to be the trending sentiment among Seahawks fans when it comes to Chancellor's holdout.

Note: Look for a full show later in the week to preview the Packers game along with news from the week and the traditional second half segments.

86: Raiders recap, Seahawks cut to 53-man roster, Week 1 preview vs Rams Sep 08, 2015

So much to cover in this week's show! The Seahawks wrap up the preseason with a 31-21 win over the Oakland Raiders. The rookies shine as Tyler Lockett scores his third touchdown of the preseason and Frank Clark forces a fumble that Jordan Hill recovers for a touchdown.

The roster was trimmed this past weekend down to 53 guys, the guys talk about surprise cuts, trades that happened and some of the new additions to the team. Fred Jackson is reunited with Marshawn Lynch after sharing a backfield early in their NFL careers in Buffalo.

Week 1 of the season has arrived and the guys take a look at the matchup against the Rams. Considering St. Louis will continue to have a dominant defensive line, it could be a rough start for Drew Nowak and Justin Britt on the interior line going up against Aaron Donald. Adam and Brandan talk about how the Rams situation on the offensive line might be worse than Seattle and how that could combine with a depleted backfield.

After the break, the guys respond to calls and emails before highlighting some crazy behavior by a pair of high school football players in Do Better. Brandan takes note of things Kam Chancellor would be better off spending his game checks if he were to decide to hold out into the regular season. Better at life nods go to special teams captain Jon Ryan and Brandan details why it could be Marshawn's final year as Seahawks running back.

85: Chargers recap, surprise cuts to 75-man roster, Raiders preview Sep 01, 2015

The Seahawks get their first win of the preseason on the road against the San Diego Chargers thanks to a 60-yard field goal from Steven Hauschka. In the 16-15 victory, Seattle gets all of their points from special teams including another touchdown return by rookie wide receiver Tyler Lockett.

Of course, this leaves us with questions about the Seahawks offense and many fans concerned about what to expect when the regular season starts in less than two weeks. Brandan and Adam feel that it's important to remember the way we've seen this Seahawks team win in the past as well as a reminder that two of the team's best players (one on offense and one on defense) haven't been playing in the preseason.

The Seahawks have cut a number of players to get down to the 75-man roster by Tuesday and it appears Drew Nowak has won the starting center job based on one of the most notable names cut. The Hawks get a draft pick from Carolina for a wide receiver drafted in 2014, and the guys' favorite Seahawks emcee is let go following a solid effort in San Diego.

After the break, the guys talk about the pick 'em league starting back up for all to join (see the link below). Listen in to find out why Phil Simms and Seahawks beat writer Bob Condotta need to do better and why firefighters and the rain are better at life than Skip Bayless.

84: Chiefs recap, Seahawks aren't trading Kam Chancellor, Chargers preview Aug 27, 2015

The Seahawks drop their second straight game of the preseason, 14-13, to the Kansas City Chiefs, but the important thing to remember is that they were up 10-7 when the starters went out of the game. Adam and Brandan recap the noticeable improvement with the changes in the offensive line. While Adam shares his excitement about Bobby Wagner's pick six, he also feels that the offense should score more points in the game than the defense. Brandan talks about how fans were able to see a hint of the type of impact Jimmy Graham could have on offense.

Gary Gilliam is a player we may not know much about, so Brandan offers some background on the guy who played tackle and tight end in college, came to the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent and then caught a touchdown pass from Jon Ryan in the NFC Championship Game against the Packers. Finally, before the break, Adam and Brandan offer their thoughts on what to look for going into this weekend's game against the Chargers.

Closing out the show, Adam gets an earful from listeners regarding his comments on the New Zealand basketball team that he said should "do better." The guys take a couple emails and finish the show with the weekly Do Better and Better at Life segments.

83: Broncos recap, Seahawks o-line issues, Chiefs preview Aug 19, 2015

The Seahawks fall to the Broncos, 22-20, in the week 1 preseason matchup. Adam and Brandan talk about the highlights, the lowlights, and some general observations. The Seahawks appear to have hit on their first two draft picks. Tyler Lockett appears to be exactly what the Seahawks need to help boost special teams. Frank Clark appeared to be as dominant as the team hoped he would be.

As good as Clark and other players on the defensive line looked, the offensive line was seemingly the opposite and has Adam already worried about the upcoming season. Can some changes improve the overall play in the matchup with the Chiefs on Friday?

We read reviews and emails before getting into Do Better. One is directed toward an overseas basketball team and the other is a member of the Seahawks offensive line. Better at life honors go to former Pittsburgh Steeler James Harrison and a certain podcast co-host.

82: Denver Broncos preview, 2nd year players to watch, former player gives up a big team secret Aug 13, 2015

It's game week! With mere hours left until kickoff of the Seahawks preseason game against the Denver Broncos, Adam and Brandan talk about some of the things to watch for during Friday's game. Want to know what the Legion of Boom would look like without Earl Thomas in Kam Chancellor? No? It doesn't matter. That's something you'll get to watch anyway when the first string defense is on the field.

Because playing time for starters will be limited, it gives everyone a good chance to try and watch the game a little bit differently. The guys talk about the different aspects of the game they try and watch and new perspectives you might consider.

There's a number of second year players on the field to watch to see how they improve. With one year of experience, several of them have talked about how they've had a chance to focus on improving their game in much more focused ways. How will guys like Justin Britt, Kevin Pierre-Louis, Brock Coyle and others look with that in mind.

We also take a look at the continued downward spiral of the Seahawks' chief rival over the past years. One listener wonders if it's time to move on to a new team to routinely cheer against. Former Seahawks fullback Michael Robinson is giving away team secrets needs to do better as well as ESPN reporters who feel religious choices are headline worthy. A Seattle Mariners pitcher and the creators of the television show The League are this week's picks for Better at Life.

81: Training camp news, top Seahawks players, offense expectations Aug 06, 2015

Into the third year of the podcast, and the first week of training camp is nearly complete as Adam and Brandan talk about the top stories coming out of camp so far. Bobby Wagner is under contract for four more years, Kam Chancellor is still sitting out and the team just traded for a Detroit Lions cornerback.

The guys talk about the notion of the team having "too many" good players, and take a look at the top players who made the NFL's Top 100 list in the offseason. These are players every Seahawks fans should know, and the guys offer a bit of detail that you may not know about these players.

What should fans expect to see from this Seahawks offense? What are some of the areas where they can improve? Which players could be poised to break out? The guys take on some of these questions.

Do better nods go to Anthony McCoy for being "injured by the sun" and former wide receiver Percy Harvin who felt he was never welcomed by the other Seahawks receivers. A pair of Seahawks linebackers, Bobby Wagner and Bruce Irvin, are better at life this week.

80: Russell Wilson signs contract, training camp underway, Know Your Rival: Arizona Cardinals Aug 02, 2015

Twenty years after Steve Largent goes into the Hall of Fame, we record our 80th show. However, the biggest news of the week is Russell Wilson has signed a four-year extension with the Seahawks and we talk about what that means for the salary cap and the team's ability to sign other players.

Bobby Wagner signed not long after we recorded the show on Saturday and now we wait to see what might happen with Kam Chancellor holding out. Adam talks about why Kam holding out feels a bit different than Michael Bennet wanting more money.

Jess Root, senior/managing editor of Revenge of the Birds, joins us to talk about the Arizona Cardinals offseason. Apart from the season following their 2009 Super Bowl, he says he can't remember a season he's been more excited about as a Cards fan.

After the break, we get into some emails, Adam goes off on his internet service provider, while Brandan struggles with understanding why a local radio host, just one week ago, would suggest Russell Wilson would be on his way out of Seattle. Better at life honors go out to Jets fans for their trolling of the Patriots and Jermaine Kearse for his work with his new foundation that helps kids of military families.

Trivia: Seahawks history, football films and 80s movies w/ ATW9K & Scarecrow Video Jul 29, 2015

Three podcasts come together for a show this week. With Adam sitting out after getting back from a long work trip, Brandan is joined by Rochelle Mantanona of Atomic Trivia War 9000 along with Kevin Clarke and Matt Lynch of the Scarecrow Video Podcast.

Ro delivers questions that span the entire history of the Seahawks organization. Tune in to see how Brandan's Seahawks knowledge matches up against the movie knowledge of Kevin and Matt. Listen as Kevin and Brandan reminisce about landmarks in their hometown. Also, decide for yourself if Steve Ballard is a real person or simply someone Matt made up.

Most importantly, don't miss Kevin and his friends from The Enematic Cinematic podcast as they watch and review Stone Cold, starring Brian Bosworth, at The Jewelbox Theater in The Rendezvous (2322 2nd Ave.) in Seattle on August 11th.

79: Wilson's contract deadline, TD sparks idea that Russell needs Hitch, mailbag Jul 22, 2015

The Russell Wilson contract talks now have a deadline and it's set for the start of training camp. Will this entire offseason saga finally come to a conclusion, or will it continue to linger? Only time will tell. Adam turns the discussion toward asking the question about why money is the end goal. Can a player put a price tag on avoiding the media drama?

Perhaps Russell Okung has it figured out as he says he's going to represent himself in upcoming negotiations. We also reset the interview from last week with Seahawks long snapper Nate Boyer and talk about some of the things that came up in his interview.

TD, producer of the Around the NFL, Dave Dameshek Football Program and Move the Sticks podcasts, joins the show as the official/unofficial Russell Wilson and Ciara relationship correspondent. Should we be worried about the seemingly disparate nature of Wilson's relationship with Ciara? Adam suggests Russell might need someone like Hitch in his corner to help him work through these early stages of the relationship.

Last week the BC Lions and Saskatchewan Roughriders played for our fandom, so we get into a bit of CFL. Afterwards, the guys move on to a few emails and Al from Australia talks about just how different Seattle and Santa Clara are for watching a football game after having attended in back-to-back weeks last season.

Lastly, an NFL stadium is compared to the mission to Pluto in the Do Better segment along with Richard Sherman's latest wish. Better at life honors go to a pair of quarterbacks: Brett Favre and Russell Wilson.

78: Marshawn Lynch Top 100 and Conan appearance, 12 best Seahawks games pre-2012, mailbag Jul 09, 2015

The show begins with Adam joining NFL Network analyst and former running back Maurice Jones Drew in a silent protest of where Marshawn Lynch ended up on the NFL Top 100 list. His silence ends, a rant ensues and then we go back and cover Lynch's appearance on Conan's talk show last week.

We get into your email, touch on why Russell Wilson wants you to pray for him (not contract related), and get into more email including a top 10/12 list of pre-Russell Wilson Seahawks games.

A call from DCH sparks the "Nincompoop Challenge" that goes out to other podcasters who listen to our show. Our hope is that other podcasters use it in there show, without alerting co-hosts, and then go on to issue the challenge to others in the podcasting community.

Issues with fireworks and emojis land in the crosshairs of Do Better this week. Better at Life honors go to the U.S. Womens Soccer team as well as a close relative.

77: Know Your Rival: San Francisco 49ers, is Russell Wilson asking for too much?, Pete Prisco still can't do better Jul 01, 2015

We kick off this week with a bit of the latest Seahawks news. Is Russell Wilson greedy for reportedly turning down a deal that would pay him similar to Cam Newton. Is $25 million too much to pay for a franchise quarterback? Think back to the Seahawks quarterback trio of 1992 in Gelbaugh, Stouffer and McGwire before you’re quick to answer.

Michael Bennett says staying in Hawaii would be a better option than going back to work on time. He sounds like just about every person I’ve ever talked to Sunday night. Prediction: he’ll show up for training camp the same way we all manage to get to work on Monday.

We continue our Know Your Rival series this week by talking 49ers with Oscar of the Better Rivals Podcast. While many seem to be writing off San Francisco considering all of the change this offseason, Oscar finds reason to be optimistic his team could finish with double digit wins. Even with the retirement of Willis and Boreland, he says the linebacking corps continues to be the strength of the defense. While on offense, the 49ers are looking to improve after creating a more complementary receiving corps and speeding up their play calls. Follow Oscar on Twitter @BetterRivals.

After the break, we talk about Nate Boyer’s MMQB article and the viral video that inspired his topic. We also got a ton of email that we’ll look forward to getting to next week. We continue the focus on Russell Wilson as Pete Prisco and Mike Florio need to do better. Prisco is treading ever so closely into Skip Bayless territory. Podcaster Marc Maron is better at life than Skip this week along with the Seahawks for announcing they have taken tickets back from brokers to make more available at affordable prices for us fans.

76: Seahawks Minicamp, Mailbag, 12th Man Champions Jun 24, 2015

Back from a week off there isn't much Seahawks news to talk about apart from the one day of on-field practice at minicamp. With a few weeks before training camp starts up, we're warning you that the next few weeks could be a bit short of Seahawks news.

With that in mind, the guys take a look at the emails that have come in over the past week and they're chock full of suggestions for things we could talk about besides Seahawks football. A call comes in from DCH as we talk about the new stickers he designed. Have us send you one (or more) by giving us your address via our Google form.

No interview this week, but we're looking for feedback on how the interviews appear in the podcast feed. We offer them separately in our feed as a courtesy to our guests, but would it remove a minor annoyance to do so without having them listed in the podcast feed? Feel free to let us know.

A listener (Anthony) suggests we start following the Canadian Football League action and why we as Seahawks fans should all cheer for the Saskatchewan Roughriders, while Pat in Edmonton makes a spectacular effort to take Adam to task for his stance on animals as athletes.

Finally, if you hang with the show long enough this week, the guys drop a "do better" on the St. Louis Cardinals for their actions (or rather inaction) in the hacking scandal and to Partick Thistle F.C. (which Adam incorrectly calls "Patrick Thistle") for their interesting new mascot. Better at life honors go out to a couple champions who shouted out to the 12th Man in their own ways, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr and U.S. Open Champion Jordan Spieth.

75: Know Your Rival: St. Louis Rams, Seahawks news, new LOB member slams former team Jun 10, 2015

This week's show kicks off with a bit of offseason news. Russell Wilson's agent forwarded a 16-page position paper to the Seahawks front office, Tarvaris Jackson re-signs with the Seahawks, contract talks with Bobby Wagner start and Cary Williams has some interesting things to say about his former team.

The bulk of this show is dedicated to talking about the NFC West rival St. Louis Rams as we get you caught up to date with news from their offseason with Rams Addiction podcast co-host Michael Handshear. We ask about ways the team has improved, where do they need to continue to develop and if they're going to continue to be in St. Louis beyond the upcoming season.

Do better nominees this week include scientists in the field of robotics and a Detroit fan that sought out an autograph on a strange item from a Hall of Fame running back. Brandan nominates the first animal that is better at life than Skip Bayless and Adam highlights Marshawn Lynch's new video game role.

74: Seahawks Town Hall, impact of Cam Newton's contract, Spike O'Neill interview Jun 05, 2015

Cam Newton is the latest $100 million quarterback and Adam says that's a club Russell Wilson is willing to wait to join. Michael Bennett wants to be in that same club of guys getting new deals, though he's only one year into his contract, Brandan offers additional background on the issue. The Seahawks Town Hall meeting was Wednesday and the guys take a look at some of the highlights from that event.

From Twisted Radio on KISW in the late 80s through the 90s and on to The Bob Rivers Show on KZOK and KJR, Spike O'Neill spent many years on Seattle's radio dial. He joins us this week to talk Seahawks as well as some of his favorite moments from his time in radio. Known for his "Twisted Tunes" throughout the years, Spike continues to specialize in parody work with his latest hit called Tom's Big Balls (to the tune of AC/DC's Big Balls).

There were a few emails to catch up on before getting into Do Better. Organizers of the national spelling bee and "window seat wasters" are taken to task. Brandan has an idea on how to avoid spelling bee ties. Better at life honors go to a pair of St. Louis Rams for their efforts to bring awareness to homelessness and Russell Wilson is hailed for his leadership efforts.

73: More rule changes coming, Pats accept Deflategate penalty, Terry Poole interview May 23, 2015

The offseason continues with another rules change, this time to the PAT. The guys talk about how much, if any, it has the potential to affect the league and the Seahawks. Adam and Brandan discuss an article that adds to the hype surrounding rookie receiver Tyler Lockett and discuss any impact the Dolphins deal with Ryan Tannehill could impact the Seahawks negotiations. From an email, the guys address why Tom Cable may not be happy with a majority of offensive lineman in college football.

David from Virginia joins the show after his clairvoyant prediction of the penalty the Patriots would have to face (and they've since accepted) and he takes Adam to task explaining why four games is the right punishment for Tom Brady.

Seahawks rookie offensive lineman Terry Poole joins us for an interview this week. The fourth round pick tells us whether or not he thinks his prediction for the NBA Finals can hold up, ask whether or not he already has a healthy dislike for the 49ers and Broncos engrained in him from his NFL fandom growing up and his approach to life after making some “knucklehead” mistakes in high school.

We take your emails on Cary Wiliams, why the show may have lost a listener because of Adam's ignorance on the Wells report, and discuss the anti-Darrell Bevell website online. Do better awardees go to Paul Lukas of ESPN for his list of top NFL uniforms while Adam focuses on a NBA post-game incident. Better at life honors go out to Russell Wilson and his approval rating and David Letterman for his legendary stretch of late night television as he goes off into retirement.

72: Wilson's contract, Kiper gives up grading Seahawks drafts, Geoff Baker of Seattle Times on Frank Clark May 18, 2015

Before gettings started, the guys announce the release of the iOS app which Adam looks forward to giving a 1-star review simply to damage Brandan's ego. The reports are in and Wilson and the Seahawks are reportedly 10s of millions apart, which make Adam and Brandan believe negotiations are only beginning. While we haven't been fans of draft grades, there were three key grades we want you to know about, including one from Mel Kiper Jr. that suggest he's given up on grading the Hawks.

Geoff Baker, an investigative sports reporter and sports business columnist for the Seattle Times, has been digging into the circumstances surrounding Frank Clark's arrest. He offers his insight on the incident itself and what happened afterward with witnesses, the police investigation and the prosecutor involved in the case.

The guys get into your emails and iTunes reviews before handing out a "Do Better" to Patriots fans who are helping to raise a million dollars for the Deflategate fine and Seahawks fans who are petitioning the NFL to rip the Lombardi Trophy away from New England. Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater and former Ravens safety Ed Reed are "Better at Life."

71: Seahawks draft recap and former Green Beret Nate Boyer signs with Seattle May 05, 2015

After weeks of talk about all of the potential players the Seattle Seahawks could draft, we now know the newest members of the team. Adam and Brandan take some time to lay out their thoughts on Seattle's second-round pick Frank Clark and why they feel the draft got off to a disappointing start.

From third-round pick Tyler Lockett to the final pick of the seventh round, Ryan Murphy, the guys talk about reasons to cheer for and get excited about each one of them. The clear winner of the post-draft interviews with Seahawks reporter Tony Ventrella was offensive lineman Terry Poole of San Diego State.

Nate Boyer, "Better at Life" honoree from episode 69, was one of the undrafted free agents signed by Seattle and Brandan talks about how the story of this long snapper is better than the iconic sports movie Rudy.

The show wraps up with the guys talking about their weekend trip to Seattle, reading some reviews and emails before getting into Do Better nominees Pete Prisco and Roger Goodell. Lastly, Adam's Better at Life honors go out to 49ers GM Trent Baalke, while Brandan focuses on all of the displays of military appreciation by the Seahawks this weekend.

70: Stunning draft stats, Seahawks should pick up Irvin's option, Seattle's approach to undrafted players Apr 30, 2015

We have a new intro! A big thanks to Leah (or FM DJ Chick if you see her rocking her #12 jersey) for offering her voice talent. It's a great way to kick of this week's show before Brandan breaks the news to Adam that he wants to be in an open podcasting relationship. The guys move on to Russell Wilson's budding relationship which has Adam fired up about how some people in the media are treating the situation.

The guys get into real football talk and get into some Seahawks Draft Appreciation 101 with a breakdown of how many players are still in the NFL from five years of drafting under John Schneider and Pete Carroll. Of 48 players drafted only four have completely departed from professional football. Picking up Bruce Irvin's option before the May 3rd deadline turns into a big topic as well.

Adam shares the team's approach to undrafted free agents and how they may be a step ahead of the league in how they court guys who don't get selected this year. And lastly before the break they look at Big Red Bryant and if there is any potential he could rejoin the team.

We respond to a call from DCH, some great emails, and get into our Do Better picks for the week. Smoking Jay Cutler and the Comedian In Chief are "better at life" this week.

4/29/15 - Rob Staton, Seahawks Draft Blog Apr 29, 2015

Rob Staton of seahawksdraftblog.com joins us for a third time leading up to the Seahawks draft. Seattle is set to make their first pick during the second round on Friday and Rob, Adam and Brandan talk about who Seattle could reach for if they decide to move up from their 63rd pick.

Rob offers his thoughts on some of the players who have made official visits to Seattle and names one wide receiver who he thinks should already be penciled in as a pick for the Seahawks. He lays out why we could expect to see Seattle lean toward picks on offense earlier in the draft before filling in any gaps in the defense in later rounds.

Check out Rob's posts at seahawksdraftblog.com and follow him on Twitter @robstaton.

4/22/15 - Zach Galligan, actor and Seahawks fan Apr 24, 2015

This week's featured guest is actor and Seahawks fan Zach Galligan. He is well known for his role as Billy in Gremlins (1984) and Gremlins 2 (1990) and has more than 60 film and television credits including Tales from the Crypt, Star Trek: Voyager, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, and many films in the triller, sci-fi, and horror genre.

Zach talks about some of his favorite movies from the 80s, we talk about the Seahawks 2015 schedule and he offers his opinion on how he thinks the Seahawks will do this season. We also take a look back at how Zach broke into the acting profession and look ahead to a possible new Gremlins movie on the horizon.

We get some insight into one of his latest movies, The Chair, and why he prefers to play a bad guy. Check out the teaser trailer for The Chair on YouTube and follow @theCHAIRhorror on Twitter for any updates on the film's release.

69: 2015 Seahawks schedule, latest news Apr 23, 2015

The 2015 schedule is out for the Seahawks. A club record of five prime time games is the highlight of the schedule, but Seattle starts out the season on the road and two historically tough venues to play. Half of the Seahawks home games come against teams who are coming off their bye. Is that an advantage for the visiting team or advantage Seahawks? We take a look.

Adam and Brandan talk about some of the latest news from the past week and some "news" from John Schneider the week before the draft.

After the break, the guys respond to your emails and play a call that came in this week. Do better nods go to Twitter trolls giving their opinion of Russell Wilson's price tag and a Bleacher Report article that wanted to strike up the debate of who the Seahawks should draft early. Better at life honors go out to Chip Kelly and a 34-year-old Nate Boyer hoping to make it into the league as a long snapper.

68: Russell Wilson's two-sport dreams, Michael Bennett refutes trade request, a look back at the 2012 Draft Apr 16, 2015

Back after our first week off in eight months, we're talking Russell Wilson and any potential or desire he may have to be a two-sport athlete. Michael Bennett comes out and officially denies he requested a trade to the Falcons and stands behind past comments about Jimmy Graham.

The guys take a look back to 2012 in what remains a remarkable draft in terms of the talent that is on the team or at least still in the league. The Seahawks have a decision to make in the next couple weeks on whether or not to pick up the 5th year option on Bruce Irvin, their first pick in the draft that season.

Adam takes a look at a couple receivers who were "touchdown makers" in the college ranks and what makes them interesting picks for the Seahawks in the mid-rounds.

After the break we read emails and talk about zone defense. Adam takes on a strange legal requirement in Arizona in his "do better" while Brandan takes on the fast food industry for a particular kids toy. Better at life honors go to Ludacris and Marshawn Lynch for a recent music video and to the work of the Electronic Frontier Foundation for their work in achieving a victory for podcasting.

4/15/15 - Zach Whitman, Three Sigma Athlete blog Apr 16, 2015

This week's featured guest is Zach Whitman. He's the owner of 3sigmaathlete.com and is regularly featured on FieldGulls.com. After talking a bit about SPARQ scores in the past, we bring him on to give us the direct background into where these scores come from and what they mean for teams like the Seahawks.

Zach talks about players who rate highly on the scale as well as one who ranks notoriously low and he offers reasons why that particular player is more athletic than some numbers may have shown him to be initially.

We talk about wide receiver, offensive line and defensive back prospects the Seahawks could be looking at early in the draft and get into whether or not the Seahawks could look at drafting a quarterback. Zach explains why it makes sense to look at certain types of positions early in the draft while other positions can wait until later rounds.

67: Latest news, Sherman as best corner confirmed, Seahawks 7-round mock draft Apr 02, 2015

Recorded on April Fools's Day, these two fools manage to fill up an entire show with seemingly very little in the way of Seahawks news. Will Tukuafu, or Mr. T as Adam likes to call him, is re-signed. The re-signing of Jesse Williams came in shortly after we wrapped up the show. We also talk about the latest center to visit Seattle to potentially shore up the offensive line.

Football Outsiders this week broke down every play by Richard Sherman throughout the season to statistically prove he is the best corner in the game. Also released was Matt Miller's seven-round mock draft which was full of potential targets for Seattle. The guys talk about how well the writer for Bleacher Report did with finding guys who seem like a fit with the team and also look at other potential wide receivers and strong safeties.

The second half of the show features reviews, emails, and a tangent discussion on Brian Bosworth. Do Better nominees this week are Around the NFL writer Connor Orr for a pretty weak effort of trying to determine who the best GM is and Mike Florio for taking Bruce Irvin's April Fool's gag too seriously. Better at Life honors go out to the Cincinnati Bengals for trolling the Browns logo change with one of their own and Adam gives kudos to California Gov. Jerry Brown for water conservation efforts that fall in line with his own views toward lawn care.

66: Head-scratching rumors, NFC West opponents in free agency, rules proposals and changes Mar 25, 2015

With March Madness in full swing, Adam and Brandan kick off this week's show talking about some of the rumors that have been swirling around Russell Wilson's contract and around the potential that Michael Bennett could be seeking a trade.

On Monday, the NFL announced compensatory picks and the Seahawks now have 11. If you missed Monday's interview with Rob Staton of Seahawks Draft Blog, tune in for a larger discussion on the impact of the Jimmy Graham trade on the upcoming draft.

The guys take a look at how other teams in the NFC West have approached free agency and talk about which of the teams between the Rams and Cardinals might provide the biggest challenge for Seattle.

We take a look at other emails that came in over the past week before getting into our "Do Better" nominees centered around new rules proposals either being accepted or likely to be shot down.

Better at Life honors go to Ravens offensive lineman John Urschel who demonstrates that there can be many well-reasoned arguments around Chris Boreland's decision to retire from the NFL, and Clare Farnsworth is moving on after covering 700 Seahawks games in his long career.

3/23/15 - Rob Staton, Seahawks Draft Blog Mar 24, 2015

Since last time Rob was on the show, the impact of the Seahawks trade for Jimmy Graham shifts the desire of adding a wide receiver in the early rounds to looking for offensive lineman to fill behind center Max Unger and left guard James Carpenter. Seattle will also have to wait until the second round before making their first selection. Rob talks about how Ty SamBrailo of Colorado State could fill the void at guard if he's still on the board.

The Seahawks recently brought in Stefen Wisniewski as a potential replacement for Max Unger, but news has been quiet on the former Oakland center and Rob explains what could possibly be going on behind the scenes. If Wisniewski goes elsewhere, Rob talks about a few other options available in the draft.

Are the Seahawks done at receiver? Rob talks about his desire to see the team look toward the draft for a guy the team can develop and be available down the road with a priority toward a player who can contribute in the return game. Kansas State's Tyler Lockett is a player who is expected to be around in the second round. Finally a look at what the signing of former Browns defensive tackle Ahtyba Rubin means moving forward.

65: Jimmy Graham trade is finalized, 40th Anniversary Team, TD declares Seahawks fandom Mar 17, 2015

It's official and final. Max Unger and a first-round pick are sent to New Orleans for Jimmy Graham and a fourth-round pick. Adam and Brandan take a look at some of the answers from Pete Carroll and John Schneider to questions brought up among fans after the trade went down last week.

We talk some of the latest free agency news and get into who might earn a spot on the Seahawks 40th anniversary team five years after the 35th anniversary team was announces. Brandan reminds everyone that the potential is out there for a 45th anniversary team and how we want to avoid naming the next John Carlson to the team.

The last time TD was on the podcast, right after the Seahawks NFC Championship victory, he was adamant he was not a Seahawks fan. Then last week on the Dave Dameshek Football Program, Around the NFL and Move the Sticks podcasts we hear that he's officially declared his Seattle fandom. We ask him what changed over the last few weeks and what role (if any) this podcast played in his decision.

We take a call and read emails before getting into Adam's do better directed at most of the NFL for not giving Tim Tebow a chance and Brandan blasts reports that Tebow was denied an invite to the veteran combine. Better at life nods go to retired 49ers linebacker Chris Boreland and Brandan gives the honor to Jimmy Graham and the Whodat Princess.

64: Jimmy Graham trade, Marshawn Lynch signs extension, Geoff Baker interview Mar 11, 2015

The news about the Jimmy Graham trade to the Seahawks breaks as we sit down to record the show. Fortunately, technical difficulties (technically the show we recorded Monday just wasn't very good) allowed us to talk about some Seahawks news that just couldn't have waited another week. Brandan helps break down what the Seahawks may have been thinking in going after Jimmy Graham and what he means to this team inside the Red Zone.

News of Marshawn Lynch extending his contract for two additional years was a highlight this past week. With a three-year deal now on the books, it looks likely that he'll remain with the Seahawks for the rest of his career and eventually earn him a spot on the team's Ring of Honor. The guys talk about other free agent news, including a look at our division rivals as every team except the Niners seems to be improving in some way.

Geoff Baker, investigative reporter for the Seattle Times, visits the show to talk about two stories since the Super Bowl about fans who either went through well known ticket sites or purchased "options" to buy tickets at face value. He talks about why prices rose to an artificially high rate and why some fans might have been willing to pay extraordinary prices to salvage the weekend.

The guys shout out to some fellow podcasters in the final segment, announce the new Sea Hawkers Podcast app in the Amazon app store, and offer their "Do Better" nods. Richard Sherman and Russell Wilson are Brandan's "Better at Life" picks, while John Schneider gets Adam's vote for pulling off a trade nobody saw coming.

63: Free agent news, why trading up for a WR makes sense, Keith Myers interview Mar 04, 2015

This week's show kicks off with talk of Marshawn Lynch's visit to Turkey. Also, how he might be the best of the actors in a bio-pic that may not be released. The guys get into some free agent talk as players released this past week could have an impact with the Seahawks and Adam brings up a tight end who may be flying under the radar and would be a great fit in Seattle.

Would trading up into the top 10 or top 20 make sense for a team like Seattle looking to find an impact receiver? In recent history, the answer seems to be yes. The final issue before the break comes from Wisconsin where a listener asks if athletes are held to an unfair standard.

Keith Myers, the managing editor for 12thmanrising.com, joins us to discuss what the Seahawks salary cap looks like heading into free agency, some names the team may want to target, and how the team's greatest need may not be the positions most fans are talking about.

Do better nods go out to current Eagles coach Chip Kelly and the agent of soon-to-be-former Eagles running back LeSean McCoy. Better at life honors are earned by Leonard Nimoy for his efforts as the greatest villain in Transformers history and Sidney Rice for his announcement toward seeking advancement of concussion research.

62: Russell Wilson contract rumors, Baldwin vs. Revis, Darin Pike interview Feb 26, 2015

Rumors about a contract extension for Russell Wilson have been swirling around over the past week. Adam and Brandan talk about whether Wilson could see a fully guaranteed contract or whether or not he would hold off until the end of next season to negotiate.

Another contract being talked about is Marshawn Lynch's deal. It's not a done deal yet, but the rumblings sound as though something is close. Would the extra money to Marshawn be good for the team and it's ability to bring in more talent? The guys also take a look at a recent article on Hawkblogger showing how Doug Baldwin was able to get open more often against Darrelle Revis than we may have thought by looking at the box score.

Darin Pike, the first blogger to be a guest on this podcast, comes back on the show to hit on a ton of topics from an article he out this week on free agency, the draft, and other offseason projections. You can find Darin's work at 12th Man Musings on FanJabs.com.

Brandan's "do better" is directed toward Seahawks players who thought there may have been specific intent that went into the final Super Bowl play call, while Adam takes a run at Adrian Peterson;s agent and a member of the Vikings front office. Better at life honors go out to J.K. Simmons and his Oscar acceptance speech as well as a group of astronomers who discovered a black hole 12 billion times the size of the Sun.

61: Lynch considering retirement, Seahawks pursuit of a top receiver, Rob Staton interview Feb 18, 2015

With Marshawn Lynch reportedly considering retirement, Adam and Brandan talk about what Beast Mode means to the Seahawks offense and how life without him would be different. Though we will likely see him back in Seattle, it sounds like there are some serious health concerns Lynch has been working through.

The guys discuss whether finding a true number one receiver is necessary or even possible to incorporate into an offense that intends to stay true to a run-first mentality. Finally they discuss recent coaching changes and discuss franchise tags, the transition tag, and exclusive rights free agents.

Rob Staton of seahawksdraftblog.com comes on the show to talk about the upcoming NFL Scouting Combine this weekend and some players Seahawks fans might want to have on their radar. Rob also talks about two intriguing prospects at running back if the Seahawks aren't sold on Christine Michael and want a future replacement for Lynch.

We respond to a few of your emails from the past week and share our appreciation for the iTunes reviews that came in. Do Better candidates this week are Jameis Winston and Rex Ryan, while Better at Life honorees include an inspirational marathon runner and Jaguars kicker Josh Scobee.

60: Seahawks free agents, could Suh or Fitzgerald land in Seattle?, NFL arrest season begins Feb 10, 2015

It's the first show of the offseason as the guys talk about Pete Carroll making the rounds and talking about what he is calling "the worst result of a call ever." Adam and Brandan discuss injuries on both sides of the ball and how it could impact free agency. The guys run down the list of Seahawks free agents and talk about two big names being floated around as potential Seahawks: Ndamukong Suh and Larry Fitzgerald.

Coaching changes are underway as Ken Norton Jr. leaves for Oakland and Kris Richard is expected to be announced as the new defensive coordinator (note: the show was recorded before the official announcement was made on Monday). Brandan revisits the discussion about quarterback records in the first three seasons when the defense allows more than 24 points and issues a correction.

An abundance of emails, reviews and Facebook posts came in over the last week and we try and get to all of them. Good news is that the show can now receive reviews left on iTunes in other countries. With the NFL arrest season just starting, it makes for easy nominees for "Do Better." Better at Life honors go to the Green Bay Packers and Guardians of the Galaxy star Chris Pratt.

59: Super Bowl XLIX recap, a disappointing end to a great season Feb 03, 2015

The Seahawks suffer a heartbreaking loss in the final seconds of Super Bowl XLIX. Adam efficiently narrows the stages of grief down to two. Brandan offers a short line for all Seattle fans to memorize to try and help get through the loss.

Around the 18-minute mark of the show, Adam hits the peak of his tirade about the Seahawks decision to pass on their final offensive play of the game before the guys move on to praise Chris Matthews, who came out of nowhere to have an outstanding game, and talk about a tremendous Jermaine Kearse catch that was already being heralded as the dagger in the heart of the Patriots before the interception.

We take your calls, emails and tweets (two calls came in after recording the show and we wanted to include them in the portion of the show usually reserved for interviews). Thanks for all of the input and support!

Moving on to "Do Better," Brandan calls out a couple Seahawks players for moments they’re likely regretting following the game, and the guys speculate on what Johnny Manziel might be in treatment for. "Better at Life honors" go out to Richard Sherman for playing hurt and Marshawn Lynch for his entertainment leading up to the game and restraint afterward.

58: Super Bowl XLIX preview - Seattle Seahawks vs. New England Patriots Jan 28, 2015

Days away from watching the Seahawks appear in their third Super Bowl in team history, Adam and Brandan are joined by Gerrad this week to break down the matchup with the New England Patriots. The guys start by listening in on 90 hilarious seconds of Bill Belichick's press conference where it talks about the deflated balls . . . footballs, before moving on to some real analysis.

From how the two teams matchup broadly on each side of the ball to individual matchups with the Rob Gronkowski, Marshawn Lynch, and who might be spying on Russell Wilson, the guys cover as much ground as possible in looking at the different aspects of this game.

BostonHawk, Dave Bloomquist, joins the show from deep in Patriots territory to talk about how the Seahawks are perceived by opposing fans in the area. He also talks about his ingenious ploy to get Patriots fans to help him showcase the 12 flag at a variety of Boston landmarks.

After offering predictions on the game, Gerrad heads out while Adam and Brandan get into your emails. Adam offers a sincere apology while putting himself in the "Do Better" slot and Brandan goes after Rich Eisen. The guys wrap up the show with Better at Life nominees Brandon Browner and a highlight of an amazing sendoff by fans when the Seahawks departed for Glendale.

57: NFC Championship recap joined by TD, producer of DDFP and the Around the NFL podcasts Jan 21, 2015

After witnessing the greatest comeback in the history of NFL championship games, Adam and Brandan take a look at the top plays that won the game for Seattle as well as those plays that contributed to the Packers downfall. The Seahawks fell behind early and allowed 16 unanswered points by halftime. Seattle was within 12 points with less than four minutes remaining before rallying for the win.

This week's guest is the producer of several podcasts including the Dave Dameshek Football Program, Around the NFL, Move the Sticks and the Coaches Show. TD joins us to talk Seahawks, the origin of the "sexy deep ball" thrown by Russell Wilson and a look ahead to the matchup with the Patriots.

The guys read your emails, take calls and respond to some Faceboook comments. Golden Tate and New York Times columnist Richard Sandomir are called out in the "Do Better" portion of the show. "Better at Life" honors go to Patriots defensive lineman Vince Wilfork and Brandan selects both Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas for their toughness during Sunday's game.

56: Panthers recap, Packers preview, interview with Todd Mossburg, producer for NFL AM Jan 14, 2015

For the third consecutive year, the Seahawks have at least one playoff win. With a second-straight NFC Championship game at home, Seattle is in a great position to make the Super Bowl in back-to-back seasons following a 31-17 win over the Carolina Panthers.

Warning to listeners this week: the show goes a little bit off track toward the start with more focus on the Dez Bryant catch, and we do our best to tie it in with the Earl Thomas near-interception. Both were called a catch on the field only to have the play overturned when it went to the replay booth. Is there a way to change the rules so each play could be considered a catch? Would a new rule differentiate between the two? Is one play more deserving of being ruled a catch over the other?

The guys break down the matchup with the Packers and where some critical matchups tend to favor the Seahawks. Adam and Brandan talk about the mobility of Aaron Rodgers being a huge concern in this game and how Mr. Miyagi traveling with the team could be a concern.

Todd Mossburg, a 20-year veteran producer, and current producer of NFL AM on NFL Network joins the show this week. Todd drops some amazing knowledge at the end of his interview that you won’t want to miss. Of course we’re all curious to know if the Fail Mary play will get played on an endless loop in previewing this next matchup, but Todd says the network will go in a different direction on NFL AM.

The UK Sea Hawkers check in via email as well as an email that reminds us that a Seahawks punter holds the record for the worst punts in NFL history. Do Better honors go out to an L.A. columnist who wrote a regrettable story about Pete Carroll five years ago as well as the marketing around the Packers game against the Cowboys. “Better at Life” honors go out to the 12s support of Marshawn Lynch and the Seahawks community outreach team.

55: Panthers preview, top plays from the regular season, emails and more Jan 07, 2015

This week's show previews the NFC Divisional Playoff matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and Carolina Panthers. Adam and Brandan offer their takeaways from the game between the Panthers and Cardinals and talk about how this Seahawks team matches up with Carolina at CenturyLink Field.

Considering how close the games have been in the past, some were a bit surprised to see how many points the Seahawks are favored by. The guys offer an explanation, talk about some of the Panthers most recent opponents and also talk about the Seahawks players selected for the All-Pro Team.

There's no interview this week. Instead, Adam and Brandan run down some of the top plays from the season and talk about some of their favorite moments from the regular season.

The guys read your emails, take your calls and read a review before getting in to "Do Better." The referees in the Detroit game in Dallas and some Internet outrage directed toward a fellow 12 are the topics of conversation. "Better at Life" honors go to Scott McCloughan, who travels to the nation's capital to be the new general manager, and the legendary Stuart Scott.

54: Rams recap, Seahawks historic defense and guest Danny Kelly of FieldGulls.com Dec 31, 2014

Your Seattle Seahawks are NFC West Champions for the second straight season following a 20-6 victory over the St. Louis Rams. The guys talk about some of the concerns about the team going into halftime and how the Seahawks rebounded to earn home field advantage throughout the playoffs.

The Seahawks defense has been incredibly impressive over the final six weeks of the season, with opponents averaging fewer than seven points. Over the past three years, Seattle's defense has been the top defense in terms of points allowed. That hasn't been done since the 1969-71 Vikings. The guys talk about the historic achievement.

Danny Kelly, editor-in-chief and lead writer at FieldGulls.com, comes on the show to about how this year's team might be better than the one that one the Super Bowl last year. They talk about the team in the playoffs that poses the biggest problem for the Seahawks and chat about Seattle's rookie receivers Paul Richardson and Kevin Norwood.

Lastly, Brandan offers a tongue-in-cheek "Do Better" for the New Orleans Saints and Adam is in disbelief over the reversal of the Suh suspension. Adam's "Better at Life" nod goes out to former Bills quarterback Kyle Orton and Brandan gives praise to wool socks before sending Jim Harbaugh out to the college ranks with the better than Bayless "honor."

53: Cardinals recap, Rams preview, William Cornell interview Dec 23, 2014

The Seahawks score 21 points in the fourth quarter on their way to a 35-6 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Adam and Brandan are reasonably sure they could feel Seattle fans jumping up and down two states away in Missoula, MT, during the 79-yard run by Marshawn Lynch. The guys talk about the win and what it means for the playoffs looking ahead.

There's one final regular season matchup at home before Seattle heads to the playoffs and it's a matchup against the St. Louis Rams who are always a physical team when playing Seattle. The guys talk about how Shaun Hill gives the team a different look this time around.

In this show's interview, the guys welcome William Cornell, creator of the Rain City Redemption series to the show, to talk about the latest edition. William talks about what it takes to put together an epic series and his reasons behind the effort.

More reviews come in this week and that leads into a "do better" for the Jets organization and Detroit Lions center Dominic Raiola. Better at Life nominees this week are Seahawks General Manager John Schneider and the social media teams for the Mariners and Seahawks.

52: 49ers recap and Cardinals preview with guests Ramona Peel and Mark Tye Turner Dec 17, 2014

The Seahawks get a 17-7 win over the 49ers to hand them their first 3-game losing streak of the Harbaugh era and officially eliminate San Francisco from playoff contention. The guys talk about some of the unusual things that happened during the game that Seahawks fans aren't used to seeing with this team.

Seattle's defense continues to be a topic of discussion as Jordan Hill has been a pleasant surprise and Bobby Wagner just seems to get better every week. The Seahawks go on the road to face another great defense, but can the Cardinals find a way to win with a quarterback who has one career win and no career touchdowns?

This week the Sea Hawkers Podcast brings on a pair of our favorite Seahawks historians in Ramona Peel and Mark Tye Turner. Ramona, blogger on Dave Krieg's Strike Beard, compares the 49ers downfall to the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War while Mark talks about how this Seattle defense is the best since the 80s era defense coach by Chuck Knox.

Both talk about their reactions to the win over the 49ers and Ramona talks about how it just wouldn't be the same without Jim Harbaugh on the sideline and mentions the fluid nature of Seahawks rivals since joining the NFC West, while it wasn't always the case in the AFC.

The Chicago Bears and Cincinnati Bengals are two teams on target for "Do Better" this week and Adam calls out a listener and the Buffalo Bills for "Better at Life" while Brandan shares his appreciation for a Seahawks offensive tandem.

51: Eagles recap, 49ers preview, Sean Widmer interview Dec 10, 2014

Another dominant defensive performance has the Seahawks trending toward a playoff berth with the division rival 49ers next on the schedule. Adam and Brandan recap the performance against the Eagles where Seattle held the Chip Kelly offense to a mere 139 yards on the day.

The guys talk about the listener's consensus player of the game on defense, Byron Maxwell, and how the opponent's yardage has continued to trend downward. It leaves the guys wondering just how low the total could go against San Francisco.

Sean Widmer, co-host of the Dickau and Slim show on 700 ESPN Spokane, comes on the show this week to talk Seahawks. He joins the guys in breaking down the win over the Eagles and what to expect in the rematch against the 49ers team that has lost two weeks in a row.

Emails, calls and reviews lead into a Philadelphia-centric "Do Better" segment where Eagles fans are reprimanded for booing an injured player as well as kicking a service member out of the stadium for cheering on his Seahawks. Finally, "Better at Life" honors go to the FBS for finally having some kind of a playoff and to the Seahawks and 12s coming together for the #12s4Good campaign.

50: 49ers recap and Eagles preview with guests Cedric, Jenny and Norb Dec 02, 2014

Not only are we celebrating a win over our NFC West rivals on Thanksgiving, we are also celebrating our 50th show. To commemorate the occasion, we form our own legion of Seahawks fans and start with a guy who is in fact a member of Mama Sherman's Legion of Super Fans. Cedric James Morris joins the show to talk about how he got the effort started to get Richard and Beverly Sherman highlighted as the new face of Campbell's Chunky Soup.

Right after we launched last week's show, Richard Sherman and Doug Baldwin performed an epic skit/press conference and we talk about a recent article about Marshawn Lynch considering retirement.

Next on our guest list and considering Jenny Goos has been our most frequent guest over the past 50 shows, she was a clear choice to bring on the show especially with her recent selection as STAR 101.5's 12th Woman of the week.

We move on to preview the matchup with the Eagles and then chop it up with our final guest of the day, Norb Caoili who has been entertaining us this year with his recent Rivals video series. Norb also talks about his Norb-Cam videos and the reason for the shift from YouTube to Vimeo for catching his game reactions and recaps.

Before we get into the second half of the show, we squeeze in a call that came in right after we finished recording for this week. It was just too good to leave out and it involves an offer to buy beers for Adam and Brandan when the Seahawks make the playoffs. (It had to be officially documented.) Then we get to your latest reviews, offer our nominees for "Do Better!" and announce our picks for who is better at life than Skip Bayless this week.

49: Cardinals recap, 49ers preview, Marshawn Lynch commentary and mock interview Nov 25, 2014

Happy Thanksgiving week 12s! With the Seahawks on a shortened schedule, so are we. Adam and Brandan talk about all the big plays from the 19-3 win. Seattle shows a dominant defensive effort in holding the Cardinals to their fewest amount of yards and points all season.

The Seahawks face the 49ers on Thanksgiving Day and while San Francisco hasn't been winning pretty, they've been doing what is necessary to win. The defense has been making sure this team stays in the game.

Following the Marshawn Lynch that has all the media outlets talking, Brandan and Adam have a little fun with the audio to ask a few questions of their own. We take reaction from podcast listeners input via the Facebook page on whether or not his interview deserves to fall into the "do better" or "better at life" category.

The Bills organization and Lions center earn a "do better" nod while Odell Beckham Jr. and Justin Tuck are "better at life."

48: Chiefs recap, Cardinals preview, media re-reporting same Lynch story Nov 20, 2014

In a 24-20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, Adam and Brandan agree the loss hasn't doomed Seattle from returning to post-season play. They only have to look back to the 2012 season to demonstrate how things can change for a team late in the season.

Recapping the Chiefs game, one thing they disagree on is the role officiating played on two key calls in the game. Brandan points out a big difference in how the Seahawks defense is playing in comparison to last season.

Previewing the Cardinals matchup, both agree that this could be a favorable matchup for the Seattle defense considering how Drew Stanton plays the game. How the Seattle offensive line holds up against the Cardinals defense will be important to watch.

Rob from the Arizona Birdgang podcast checks in with the show this week to talk about the Cardinals 9-1 season and this week's matchup with the Seahawks. Are the Cardinals already a lock for the NFC West title, Rob thinks so where his fellow co-hosts are a bit hesitant.

The guys are floored by the listeners' response to the challenge to surpass the Cardinals podcast and read through several reviews and award show stickers to some of their favorites.

Brandan has an extended do better for those in the media who continue to re-report about Marshawn Lynch when all they do is bring up prior stories to support an viewpoint that doesn't seem to be backed up with any hard facts. Adam goes after a 70-year-old Saints fan.

Better at life honors go to a current Buffalo Bills kicker and good Samaritan as well as former Redskins running back Brian Mitchell for coming strong in his criticism of his former team.

47: Giants recap, Chiefs preview, Warren Moon interview Nov 12, 2014

The Seahawks show a dominant performance on the ground as Marshawn Lynch led the team to 350 yards on the ground to set a new team record. Russell Wilson also had more than 100 yards, but has not been the same in the last five games as he was in his first four games to start the season. Adam talks about where he may be struggling.

Brandon Mebane is out for the season. As of the recording he hadn’t yet been placed on injured reserve. Because he’s in the negotiation phase of the steps of grief, Adam talks about how he would trade the win against the Giants just to have Mebane back for the season.

Next up, the Seahawks head to Arrowhead to take on the Chiefs. The guys talk about the tough test Kansas City will bring. Brandan talks about one statistic about the Chiefs defense that may be misleading and offer the Seahawks offense a vulnerability to attack.

Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon, a 17-year NFL veteran and Seahawks broadcaster, joins the show this week to say thanks to service members past and present and talks about Russell Wilson, Brandon Mebane and cookies.

To close the show, “Do Better” nominees include the New Orleans Saints (by request of a listener) and some Bears fans who have gone way over the line. It’s an all-Seahawks “Better at Life” segment with Dan Quinn and Marshawn Lynch taking this week’s honors.

46: Raiders recap, Giants preview, Johnnie Ramona Peel interview Nov 05, 2014

Another week and another victory that is a bit too close for comfort. Adam and Brandan take a look at some of the best and worst performances of the week among Seahawks players. After getting out to a first-half lead of 24-3, they talk about some of the events that led to the Raiders getting back in the game.

With the Giants next up on the schedule, there’s a lot of reasons to be optimistic with several players set to return. Brandan talks about Eli Manning and the matchup issues he and the New York offensive line present to the Seahawks defense.

Johnnie Ramona Peel, Dave Kreig’s Strike Beard blogger, returns to the show for the first time since October 2013. Johnnie compares the win over the Raiders to a meal at Taco Bell and the start of the season to the 2004 Seahawks team. She also revisits the story of how her blog came to be named after a majestic beard of the 80s-era Seahawks quarterback.

The guys read some of the latest emails to the show and “Do Better” nominees include Dan Snyder and Bill Simmons. A World Series pitcher with a historic performance and Tom Brady share “Better at Life” honors for the week.

45: Panthers recap, Raiders preview and interview, Seahawks locker room reports Oct 29, 2014

Russell Wilson engineers a game-winning drive against the Panthers to complete a rather ugly 13-9 win. Seahawks fans can rejoice because it ends a two-game losing streak. This week Brandan checks in from Bay Area with Adam manning the fort back in Missoula to talk about optimism for the season moving forward. Though Brandan admits that some of the "battered fan syndrome" experienced in years past is starting to creep back in.

They talk about how an improved pass rush impacted the game and Bruce Irvin was able to show up when it mattered post. Special teams is also a focus as Paul Richardson shows his speed on kick returns and Richard Sherman fills in as punt returner. Which one could take the job away from Bryan Walters?

The guys preview the matchup against the Raiders. Brandan speaks with Raider Ron, who will be attending his 239th straight Raiders game (including home and away games). It's clear that Ron isn't expecting much for this year's team, but hopes are high for the future with budding stars on both sides of the ball.

We read some of our latest reviews of the show and an email from a listener who says he's going to stop listening because of the bad juju it has brought upon the team. Adam says Cam Newton needs "do better" especially when it comes to signaling first downs even when he comes up short. Brandan directs his "do better" to Mike Freeman for unnecessarily introducing race in the story about Russell Wilson and other members of the Seahawks locker room. Better at life honors go to a dailyleak.org article and Seahawks owner Paul Allen for his contributions to fight ebola.

44: Rams Recap, Panthers Preview, Norm Johnson Interview Oct 22, 2014

Russell Wilson has a record-setting performance this week in a 28-26 loss to a division rival. Adam and Brandan talk about some of the special teams plays that sunk the Seahawks this week, problems with the Seahawks pass rush and the sudden departure of Percy Harvin.

The Carolina Panthers are next up on the schedule and might be just the right team for Seattle to play to get back into the win column. A Panthers defense that was the strength of the team last season is now struggling and they have injuries among other problems on the offensive line. Sound familiar. A bit, but things seem to be much worse in Carolina.

The guys interview former Seahawks kicker Norm Johnson and talk about everything from his recent work in creating a craft beer for Seahawks fans -- The 12 Man Pale Ale -- to one of his best memories in helping the Seahawks reach the playoffs for the first time back in 1983.

With the recent Percy Harvin trade, Norm talks about the difference certain guys can make in the locker room as Brian Bosworth was one of his least favorite guys to play with in Seattle. He discusses how he had the exact opposite experience with Deion Sanders during his time with the Falcons.

The guys give this week's picks and talk about plans to add a second show to the week by breaking out the pick'em segment into a show scheduled for release on Thursdays tentatively titled "SHP: NFL Full 32."

Earl Thomas and Peyton Manning get "do better" nods this week and DeMarco Murray and Russell Wilson are "better at life" for each accomplishing something no player has ever done in the NFL.

43: Cowboys Recap, Rams Preview, Dayna O'Gorman Interview Oct 16, 2014

With the first Seahawks home loss of the season, Adam and Brandan take a look at the positives. The Seattle loss proved Skip Bayless to be incorrect on his prediction and no longer eligible to be better at life than himself. The guys break down the game, what went wrong and some of the overreactions from Seahawks fans.

Long-time listener Dave Bloomquist comes on the show to give his reaction to the Cowboys game and give his thoughts on the game against the Rams. Adam and Brandan disagree on the two most dangerous weapons St. Louis has on offense and talk about a defense that has only produced one quarterback sack.

Dayna O'Gorman, Seahawks fan reporter for nflfemale.com and co-host of Wednesday night with nflfemale, is welcomed back onto the show to talk about what she saw in the Seahawks games and expectations against the Rams.

In the second half of the show, Adam gives his thoughts on a tasty Montana brew, we read through our emails, tweets and texts and give our picks for this week's NFL games. A player from the Cowboys and the Bengals get a "do better" nod, while "better at life honors" go to a Rugby League star and Seahawks owner and EMP museum co-founder Paul Allen.

42: 'Skins Recap, Cowboys Preview, New Facebook Troll and Calls Oct 09, 2014

Russell Wilson took over the game Monday night and led the Seahawks to a 27-17 win against Washington. Adam and Brandan wonder how anyone can watch that game and not see Wilson as an elite quarterback.

With a lot of questions on penalties, the guys attempt to explain what the refs may have seen and how an incredible game by Percy Harvin was wiped away.

As the matchup against Dallas is on the horizon, find out why the entire game hinges on the appearance of Rolando McLain. And just as Demarco Murray has emerged as a weapon for the Cowboys they announce their intent to limit his carries.

Listeners rallied around the idea of surpassing the Steelers podcast in reviews and we are now closing in on them. The guys read reviews and find out how John's trip to the game went before getting into the pick'em segment.

ESPN's coverage of the Jaguars podcast and a fellow podcaster is called out in the "Do Better" segment. The Lions and Hoyer the Destroyer are "Better at Life."

41: 'Skins preview, Chiefs fans break noise record, emails and calls Oct 01, 2014

The Seahawks are coming off their bye week and will travel across the country for Monday Night Football versus Washington. Seattle has the best winning percentage in the NFL on Monday and is going up against a team that picked up their one win against a winless Jacksonville Jaguars team.

Before getting into the game, Adam and Brandan congratulate the Kansas City Chiefs on breaking the record for loudest crowd roar and talk about the different approaches the two teams take to the record.

With only a game preview and no game recap, the guys spend time on listener emails that came in during the bye week. Among the questions is whether or not a team should be in London, whether 12s would be okay with having one of Seattle's games played there, and if fans of U.S. teams would give up their current fandom to support a local team.

After the break, the guys talk about which Seahawks player in their prime they would bring back to the future to play on the current team, offer their picks for this week's pick'em challenge, and finish off the show in the usual fashion with "Do Better" and "Better at Life."

40: Broncos Recap, Manning’s Blown Coin Toss, and the mask that likely inspired the original Seahawks logo Sep 25, 2014

The dramatic 26-20 overtime win brings Broncos fan Gerrad Timm back to the show to talk about the Seahawks effort against the Broncos. Before getting into the game, the guys talk about the trip to Seattle and the how Seahawks fans handle the fans of visiting teams appropriately, at least in the experience with Gerrad and Phil.

With a bye week on the horizon, the guys take an extended look at the game and weaving in some of the top plays into the show. The Seahawks defense plays nearly flawlessly for 59 minutes, only allowing scores when the Broncos had a short field. Yet, in the end, Manning finds a way to drive the length of the field to send the game into overtime.

Fortunately, Manning never has the opportunity to touch the ball as Marshawn Lynch punches it in after Russell Wilson leads the team down the field. Peyton doesn't get the ball, which leads Brandan to congratulate Tarvaris Jackson for the role he played at the overtime coin toss.

The Sea Hawkers Podcast welcomes Kathryn Bunn-Marcuse, curator of the Here and Now exhibit at the Burke Museum to talk about the mask that likely inspired the Seahawks logo. Kathryn talks about how the Seahawks logo was most likely created, the history of the mask and its similarity to the original logo, and the current effort to get this piece of history shipped across the country for Seattle fans to view the mask in person.

Lastly, the guys talk about the five-way tie in this week's pick'em challenge. In the "Do Better" segment, the guys talk about the league's troubles overshadowing the good things that are happening and a Denver columnist cries about wanting the overtime rules changed. The Cardinals special teams and a guy who bets his way to a huge payday are honored as "Better at Life."

Gerrad Timm, Denver Broncos fan and friend of the show, comes on the show to preview the "Super Bowl rematch."

Brandan opens the show by talking about the scene around Seattle and the unveiling of the banner for the World Champion Seahawks.

The guys break down some of the biggest plays in the game, talk about how Aaron Rodgers completely avoided throwing at Richard Sherman, and discuss why Earl Thomas may want to learn how to call a fair catch.

The Seahawks go on the road this weekend to take on the San Diego Chargers who suffered an 18-17 defeat against the NFC West rival Arizona Cardinals. Looking at the matchup, and their performance against the Cards, the Seahawks match up very favorably. The only thing San Diego has going for it is the excitement around their home opener.

Tansey Allen, co-founder of the Seahawks Road Crew, talks about how Seattle fans are rallying to show up to the San Diego game to help give a boost to Seahawks players. If you're a fan who's going to be in southern California, you're going to want to tune in to find out about all of the events happening this weekend.

In the final segment of the show, Adam and Brandan read some recent reviews and announce this week's winner of the pick'em challenge. They go over their picks for the upcoming weekend, go after two prominent members in the Cowboys organization in Do Better, and a pair of Bay-area reporters and potential new owner of the Buffalo Bills are "better at life."

37: Raiders Recap, 53-man Roster, Packers Preview Sep 02, 2014

The Seahawks open up their final preseason game with a four-play, 80-yard touchdown drive and then proceed to close the season with a loss to the Raiders. Adam and Brandan talk about the ugly first and second quarter against Oakland's new starting quarterback Derek Carr.

As expected, there were many more recognizable names among those cut from the 75 down to the 53-man roster. The guys break down some of the potential reasoning behind those decisions.

The preseason matchup with the Packers is only days away! Adam starts the preview by feeling a bit nervous of the matchup, but as the two talk through it he feels much better about the potential for a win this week. Both agree the Packers will likely be the second-best team in the NFC.

John Hagengruber, life-long Green Bay Packers fan joins the show to help preview this year's squad. John talks about the added dimension Eddie Lacy brings to the team, something the Packers didn't have the last time these two teams faced, and some of the players to watch for on both sides of the ball.

In the last part of the show, we play a couple listener voicemails and thank those who have left reviews on iTunes and Stitcher. Brandan calls out an NFL writer for producing a meaningless list when there are plenty of other topics to write about now that the season is starting, and days after the league revises its policy on domestic abuse a 49ers player will be the first to be punished under that policy.

Adam gives commissioner Roger Goodell a "better at life" nod for acknowledging his mistake in the decision to suspend Ray Rice for only two games. Brandan's pick is a Spokane high school student in the Make-a-Wish program fighting cystic fibrosis and was recently honored by the Seahawks.

36: Bears Recap, Seahawks cut to 75, Raiders “Preview" Aug 28, 2014

It's a Russell Wilson love-fest to kick off the first portion of the show as Adam and Brandan are impressed with the command and comfort #3 has shown against the Chargers and Bears. The guys call out some other impressive performances from the game and how one podcast listener was rewarded based on the performance of Marshawn Lynch.

The Seahawks cut the roster down this week from 90 to 75 players. No surprising names made the list, and the guys talk about the approach the team is taking with roster cuts. With the 53-man roster only days away there are sure to be some recognizable names when the time comes for the next cuts.

35: Chargers Recap, NFL’s Illegal Contact-fest, Bears preview, Jenny Goos Interview Aug 21, 2014

The Seahawks rebound from their first preseason loss to annihilate the Chargers 41-14. The interception and touchdown by Tharold Simon is one example of how games how now turned into an illegal contact-fest and has officials seeing things that just aren't there.

Seeing Earl Thomas continuing to field punts continues the discussion on whether or not the risk is worth the potential reward, Adam and Brandan talk about impressive performances in preseason game two, and discuss if Terrell Pryor is poised to unseat Tarvaris Jackson as the backup.

Jenny Goos, writer and vlogger for OnHerGame.com joins the podcast for her third appearance on the show. With two weeks of preseason down, Jenny talks about how she's tired of watching "practice" and ready to get to the regular season.

Do better candidate Johnny Manziel is called out for his poor execution of a gesture we've seen from Marshawn Lynch, Michael Vick and late Titans owner Bud Adams. Adam takes one more run at the flurry of illegal contact penalties being called.

Finally, tune in to the show and find out why free agent NHL left winger Paul Bissonnette and Russell Wilson are both better at life than Skp Bayless.

34: Broncos Recap, Chargers Preview, Mark Tye Turner Interview Aug 14, 2014

The Seahawks lose their first preseason game and fail to get to double digits for consecutive preseason wins. Clearly the Denver Broncos have a decision to make as to which of their players deserve to be honored with a commemorative statue to mark this monumental occasion. Adam and Brandan talk about some of the worst quotes and takes to come out of the loss, including one from our pal Skip Bayless.

With the Chargers game next on the schedule, the guys offer their thoughts on what they plan to keep an eye on from the offensive line to the linebacking corps and if, even in the preseason, teams will continue to stay away from Richard Sherman's side of the field.

Emmy-award winning writer and producer Mark Tye Turner is welcomed back to the program from his home in Richard Sherman Oaks, California. He now has a new book: Seattle Seahawks Super Season: Notes from a 12 on the best season in Seahawks history. We talk last season, expectations for this year, and a Seahawks touchdown dance that is unlike no other.

In the show's last segment Adam proposes a weekly pick 'em contest to see which listeners are best at picking games on a week-to-week basis. Adam's wants Broncos announcers to "do better," Brandan thinks it would be more fun for the NFL injury announcements to be more like the PGA. In Better at Life, Adam honors the passing of Robin Williams by playing a favorite clip he shares with Brandan and Coach Carroll. With the induction of Walter Jones into the Hall of Fame, he also deserves enshrinement as a member of the Better at Life community.

33: Training Camp Underway, Marshawn Lynch Ends Holdout, Paul Beyer Interview Aug 01, 2014

Season two of the Sea Hawkers Podcast starts with training camp and what better news to start off the latest season than to welcome Marshawn Lynch back to the team after his holdout. Adam and Brandan talk about what Lynch means to this team, how he's not a replaceable piece of the offense like a certain ESPN reporter may think, and why it was important for the team to hold the line with his contract in the way they did.

Michael Robinson talked about his concerns the team may not have the veteran leadership in place to handle some of the big money deals that have transpired over the offseason. The guys provide their reactions and talk about if Robinson's presence could have prevented Lynch's holdout situation.

One guy who stands out to Adam so far in training camp is Phil Bates. We discuss the wide receiver group as a whole and how they're going to be "just fine" without Golden Tate and Sidney Rice. Of concern so far in training camp is losing Anthony McCoy and Jesse Williams so soon. Are we going to have to deal with another Kellen Davis situation at tight end this year?

After visiting a few weeks back on 12 for 12s Radio, Adam and Brandan welcome Paul Beyer to the Sea Hawkers Podcast to discuss Marshawn Lynch, training camp, and a recent interview on Paul's show with the guys who want to "Build the Tip."

The NFL commissioner and NBA player Kevin Love are called to carpet and dressed down in the "Do Better" segment. Texans running back Arian Foster and Seahawks GM John Schneider are celebrated in the "Better at Life" segment to close the show.

In this show, Adam and Brandan talk about being one Viking closer to getting Adrian Peterson, offer our thoughts on Earl Thomas taking over as Seattle's punt returner, and our thoughts on Marshawn Lynch and rumors that he is unhappy with his contract.

Richard Sherman was recently voted to be face of Madden 2015. He wants the rest of the Legion of Boom to join him. Midwest Sea Hawker Jason Coiner comes on the show to discuss his petition to attempt to persuade EA to grant Sherman's request.

Lastly, we have one of our listeners from "across the pond" give us a call, FIFA and Charlie Whitehurst are called out in the "Do Better" segment, and Brady Quinn and Richard Sherman are our distinguished Better at Life representatives.

30: Seahawks at the White House, 2014 Draft Results, LOB May 24, 2014

The Seahawks are fresh off a trip to the White House where they were showered by praise by the President. President Obama was disappointed he couldn't get tips on dealing with the media from Marshawn who, according to his mom, just didn't want to go. Adam and Brandan break down how well BO did in the presence of the LOB.

With rookie mini camp having wrapped up this week, the guys talk about the 2014 draft and some of the players who stood out. Kevin, a listener from "enemy territory" in Denver calls in. Since he pointed out on Facebook that he "dropped a bigger bomb than Denver's D" we figured we'd definitely have to play his call and give him a really hard time for a really minor slip up.

Lastly, the guys talk about the Legion of Boom now being signed through the next few seasons, before having Sgt. Jeff Baker, Army Ranger and Purple Heart Recipient, come on the show to talk about his experience announcing the Seahawks fourth round draft picks.

Cover32.com and the owner of the Cleveland Browns are reprimanded in the "Do Better" segment. The guys wrap the show up with nominations for "Better at Life" directed toward a decision by the NFL owners to hold off on playoff expansion and an effort by Adam Corolla for taking on the podcast patent trolls.

29: 2014 Seahawks Schedule Announced, NFL Draft, Free Agency News Apr 24, 2014

The release of the 2014 Seahawks Schedule motivates Brandan and Adam to get together after a month hiatus to talk Hawks. The guys give their initial reactions to the schedule and look ahead to some of the biggest matchups.

It's not long before the guys the bored with schedule talk and begin to discuss the trade for Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor and the re-signing of Sidney Rice. An email prompts a discussion on Marcus Trufant's retirement announcement and the reports that Richard Sherman could be looking at a long-term contract soon.

With the NFL Draft coming up, Adam wants to get his opinion on the record that Johnny Manziel will be a bust of Ryan Leaf proportions. Brandan offers up ways to enjoy the NFL Draft between the Seahawks selections by listening carefully to how analysts talk about the next flock of stars the draft will appear to be littered with.

Gene Hushak, Sea Hawkers Central Council President drops in for his first appearance on the show to talk about upcoming Sea Hawkers events.

The do better segment features a man trying to sue the Seahawks for $50 million for being excluded from the NFC Championship ticket sales and his attempt to visit "Quest Stadium." Adam takes a shot at TMZ for their coverage of the "suspicious incident" Colin Kaepernick and Ricardo Lockette were involved in.

Finally, Better at Life features Sidney Rice and the conditions surrounding his return to the team and an anonymous 12 who saved a life during a 12k run near the Seahawks practice facility.

28: Jared Allen, Free Agency News, Ryan Asdourian Interview Mar 22, 2014

Jared Allen sounds close to signing with the Seahawks, but says he needs the weekend to make a decision. Adam and Brandan talk about how signing Allen would dampen the pain of Golden Tate leaving the team.

The guys talk about why Tate ultimately left Seattle and how it's not hard to blame him for doing so, although it sounds like Golden has been taking quite a bit of heat for it via Twitter. Cracking on him out the door isn't going to brink him back and takes away from how hard he's worked in his time in Seattle. Is Tate's departure the biggest hit the team?

Finishing off the hour, the guys look at other teams around the NFC West and how they stack up with their free agent moves so far.

Ryan Asdourian, handler for the Seahawks mascot Blitz, comes on the show to talk about some of his greatest moments on the sidelines and off the field at charity events, his diagnosis with Multiple Sclerosis and the Blitz Tackles MS events coming up in Seattle next month.

In their "Do Better" segment, Brandan cracks on Steve Smith for his response to a online video that went viral and Adam takes on a former Seahawks receiver who thinks he would dominate Richard Sherman. Finally, find out why Zach Miller and Jared Allen are this week's "Better at Life" nominees.

27: Latest Seahawks News, Free Agency, NFL Combine Mar 06, 2014

With more than a month having passed since the Seattle Seahawks won their first Super Bowl in franchise history, there have been several items in the news worth discussing. Adam and Brandan start with the comment by Richard Sherman about the NFL's attempt to penalize players for using the "n-word" on the field. Brandan talks about his issues with seeing Russell Wilson in a Texas Rangers jersey, and the guys even talk about the latest goings on down in San Francisco with Jim Harbaugh.

The rest of the show is dedicated primarily to talking about the free agents who are the most important to keep in Seattle and a couple players who have already been released. Eric Speece, a dedicated listener, comes on the show to share a story or two and even in the offseason the torch is carried forward for those who are "better at life."

26: Our Seattle Seahawks are Super Bowl Champions Feb 07, 2014

Not only did your Seattle Seahawks win the Super Bowl, they did it by dominating the top offense in NFL history. The crushing Seattle defense held Peyton Manning and their record-breaking scoring offense to only one touchdown in a 43-8 win in Super Bowl XLVIII.

You know the three phases of the game (offense, defense and special teams), but Adam tells Brandan about a fourth phase that the 12s have proven to have a direct impact on and are the inspiration for this phase of the game.

Brandan talks about his experience in New York and New Jersey in both the "Do Better" and "Better at Life" segments. Listen in to find out who falls into each category.

The guys wrap up the season by thanking those of you who have listened in on the show and lay out plans for how the offseason of the show might go. It's been an incredible first season of the show and an even more incredible season for the Seahawks. Let's do it again in 2014/2015!

GO HAWKS!

25: Super Bowl XLVIII Preview Jan 30, 2014

We're just days away from watching the Seattle Seahawks take on the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl 48. Broncos fan, and friend of Adam and Brandan, Gerrad Timm makes his first appearance on the show to talk about the matchup between a historically great offense versus a historically great defense.

With Media Day over and done with, the guys offer their thoughts on the event and some of the headlines created by Marshawn Lynch.

The discussion is relatively friendly until Brandan fires the first shot by pointing out the success the Seahawks had through the season and asking Gerrad how comfortable he would be with Mark Sanchez behind center.

You'll be treated to a trifecta of "Do Better" and "Better at Life" as Gerrad sticks around to share his selections in the second half of the show.

24: NFC Championship Recap, Seahawks vs. Broncos Super Bowl XLVIII Jan 26, 2014

The Seahawks defeat their NFC West rival to win the NFC Championship 23-17 and move on to Super Bowl XLVIII. Adam returns to civilization to record remotely after a week in the Oregon wilderness and he and Brandan share their different experiences watching the game. Coming out of his cave late this week, Adam realizes Richard Sherman was talked about in the news all week, not for his tipped pass, but for his post-game interview.

The guys take a look at some of the biggest plays of the game, the players who made them happen and the moments they helped to create. Fourth down was big for both teams, but there wasn't a bigger play than Russell Wilsons throw on fourth down to Jermaine Kearse. That touchdown electrified the crowd and fired up the defense in creating three 49ers turnovers late in the game.

There will be more to come in the Seahawks Super Bowl preview against the Broncos. Gerrad's name has been dropped several times on the show and with Denver in the game next Sunday, next week is a perfect time to have him come on and let Seahawks fans know what we might expect and some of the names on the team you may not be familiar with.

With a brief window of opportunity to record, Better at Life is awarded off air to the two Stanford players who rose to the occasion to defeat their former college coach: Richard Sherman and Doug Baldwin. GO HAWKS!!

23: Saints Recap, NFC Championship Preview, Mack Strong Interview Jan 16, 2014

Another game against the Saints, another win and another earthquake. This game against the Saints was a lot closer than it needed to be, but the Seattle offense ran through Marshawn Lynch and the team came out with a 23-15 victory to move on to the NFC Championship. Adam and Brandan talk about why the game got so close toward the end of the game.

It's okay to be a bit worried about this upcoming matchup with a good 49ers team. The offense may not be clicking as well as fans would hope, but considering what we're seeing from other teams right now this offense is good enough to win a Super Bowl. Brandan shares some recent statistics from previous 49ers games that might surprise you.

Mack Strong, former Seahawks fullback for 15 seasons, comes on the show to talk about the attitude of the team right now and how they're approaching this game against San Francisco.

Adam and Brandan let members of the Military Sea Hawkers know about an opportunity to score two tickets to the NFC Championship game, Brandan talks about a Fox Sports piece on the 12s you won't want to miss, and they share their latest selections for Better at Life.

NFC Championship Rivalry Edition with the Better Rivals Podcast Jan 15, 2014

Two meetings in the regular season weren't enough! The two best teams in the NFC West have now proven to be the two best teams in the entire NFC.

This heavyweight podcast bout is officially sanctioned and sponsored by Fans Against Violence. Adam and Brandan have previously given their highest endorsement toward the folks of Fans Against Violence (fansagainstviolence.org) as being "Better at Life than Skip Bayless" for the work they do to champion the message that sporting events are an act of fellowship and community between fans, and that each person who attends a professional sporting event should feel safe and be protected.

This podcast won't stop Pete Carroll's furious gum chewing from raising the ire of 49ers fans or prevent Michael Crabtree from lobbying for a penalty flag if he doesn't make a catch, but we can enjoy a look at the upcoming matchup between the Seahawks and 49ers.

Along with our recap of the Saints game, Seahawks fans looking for a preview of the game from the perspective of Seahawks fans can look forward to Episode 23 of the Sea Hawkers Podcast. In the meantime, Brandan of the Sea Hawkers Podcast and Oscar of the Better Rivals Podcast get together to offer a rivalry edition of the show to give Seahawks fans a look at some of the thoughts on the upcoming matchup directly from the other side.

GO HAWKS!!

22: Saints Preview, Seahawks Coaches in Demand, Craig Terrill Interview Jan 08, 2014

The Seattle Seahawks face the New Orleans Saints in the divisional round of the playoffs on Saturday. Adam and Brandan take a look at the team that picked up their franchise's first road playoff win as they return to Seattle after a 34-7 loss in Week 13.

Brandan offers a suggestion on one play the Seahawks absolutely have to run from the previous game and Adam talks about his mindset on going into the game with the lowest possible expectations to help set up any postgame reaction.

The guys also discuss the interest in Seahawks coaches and how that may or may not be a distraction to the team in preparing for this week's game. Adam and Brandan disagree on which coach the team would miss most.

With the Seahawks holding the #1 seed in 2005, former defensive tackle Craig Terrill comes on the show to talk to Adam and Brandan about what players are going through leading up to this week's game. He offers his thoughts on this team's defensive line, what it was like practicing against two great Seahawks offensive linemen and his perspective on different coaching styles having played for Coach Holmgren, Mora and Carroll.

In the "do better" segment, Adam shares a story about a 49ers fan who is so passionate about her team that she was ready to fight him and Brandan targets the 49ers organization for bringing in a sub-par motivational speaker. Better at life this week focuses on the bay-area team in the AFC and Marshawn Lynch's handling of his fine for not speaking to reporters.

21: Rams recap, Seahawks at home for the playoffs, Percy Harvin update Dec 31, 2013

After taking a week off, Adam and Brandan are back to talk about the game that earned the Seahawks a #1 seed in the NFC. The road to the Super Bowl goes through Seattle!

The Seahawks defense set the tone in the 27-9 win over St. Louis with an interception return by Malcolm Smith. From there, the Seahawks offense was able to add 20 with the help of one of the biggest meltdowns we've ever seen on the field by a player.

Coach Carroll surprised many of us today with an announcement that Percy Harvin is going to practice this week with a plan to play in the playoff game on Saturday, January 11. This comes after days of speculation that Harvin would be placed on injured reserve for the playoffs.

The guys play a couple of calls into the show and talk about why fans should get used to the idea of bandwagon fans. The officials have taken away the Seahawks' opportunity for a revenge game and a Seahawks-centric "Better at Life."

20: Giants Recap, Cardinals Preview, Jenny Goos Interview Dec 19, 2013

Despite John Lynch conceding points to the New York Giants in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks come away with a 23-0 shutout this week. Adam and Brandan talk about some of the dominant performances by players on defense and special teams. Is it coincidence that Episode 20 focuses on some amazing plays by cornerback Jeremy Lane?

The guys also talk about which former USC quarterback the Seahawks are making their opposition look like. The Arizona Cardinals may be 6-1 over their last seven games since facing the Seahawks, but when Adam runs down the list of their opponents over that stretch it's easy to see why they've been so dominant.

Jenny Goos, of OnHerGame.com, is the first interviewee to make a return appearance to the show. She leaves no doubt as to the team she would want to see the Seahawks face in an NFC Championship game.

A reporter who doesn't do his research on Seattle wide receivers is called out in the "do better" segment along with a pair of announcers Seahawks fans are likely familiar with. "Better at life" focuses on an effort by the 12s to raise money for the children's hospital in San Francisco as well as the newest addition to the Sea Hawkers family.

19: 49ers Recap, Giants Preview, Dave Wyman Interview Dec 11, 2013

The Seahawks may have lost to the 49ers this week, but with the Seahawks so far out in front in the NFC it's tough to take a two-point, 19-17 loss very hard. Adam and Brandan talk about the plays and penalties that had a big impact on this game. As difficult as it is to do, they even give credit (ugh) to the opposition.

Looking past this game how is the playoff picture impacted and what do the Seahawks need to do from here on out to hold onto the top seed in the NFC.

Dave Wyman, former Seattle Seahawks linebacker and co-host of the Wyman, Mike and Moore show on 710 ESPN Seattle, comes on the show to talk about if there is such a thing as a good loss and what to expect with the matchup with the Giants.

It's a big week for emails and reviews on iTunes, so the guys read those and even offer solutions to some family issues overseas arising from Seahawks-related conflicts. Finally, Adam talks about why he'll never buy a certain brand of headphones, Brandan breaks down how to handle any 49ers fans you may happen to be friends with, and as always the show ends with picks of those who are Better at Life than Skip Bayless.

18: Saints Recap, 49ers Preview, Brian Nemhauser Interview Dec 05, 2013

The Seahawks dominated the consensus #2 team in the NFC at home in front of a national audience on Monday Night Football with outstanding play from Russell Wilson on offense and K.J. Wright on defense. Adam and Brandan take a look at many of the top plays that stood out in the 34-7 win.

The guys preview the upcoming game against the 49ers as the Seahawks have the opportunity to clinch the NFC West and a first-round bye in the playoffs. How will this game be different compared to the 13-6 loss on the road in Week 7 last season?

Brian Nemhauser of hawkblogger.com joins the program to talk about his analysis of the team after 12 games and their vast improvement from Week 8 to Week 12. He also offers his perspective from San Francisco about the recent release to 49ers ticket holders explaining to them the intricacies of being a fan: like the type of colors to wear on game day and when it's appropriate to make the most noise at the stadium.

In the "Do Better" segment, the guys both take shots at different articles from Bleacher Report, they read Facebook comments on the "Faces of Harbaugh" photo of the week, and give some more Seahawks love to Russell Wilson and the 12th Man in the "Better at Life than Skip Bayless" segment.

17: Suspensions, Saints preview, bye week awards Nov 30, 2013

For a bye week, there was a lot of attention on the Seahawks for the wrong reasons. With the biggest game of the year next up on the schedule, the news was magnified around a four-game suspension for Walter Thurmond and a potential year-long suspension of Brandon Browner. Adam and Brandan talk about what the suspensions mean for the team moving forward.

The Saints may have the second best record in the NFC, but the guys are both extremely confident that this game will work out in favor of the Seahawks. Between home field advantage and the noise generated by the second attempt at the Guinness record, and simply how well this team matches up against New Orleans, Seattle should take another step toward securing home field advantage.

Adam and Brandan hand out the "coveted" bye-week awards. They disagree on who should win the award on offense and special teams and come to agreement on the defensive side of the ball. They also hand out awards for best offseason acquisition and rookie of the season so far.

They finish up by telling a pair of Cowboys and an NFL reporter to "do better." A bonus "do better" is directed toward Black Friday shoppers. This week's Better at Life segment is split between Seattle and New England as Coach Belichick makes a bold decision on Sunday night and the 12th Man reaches the top of Mt. Everest.

16: Vikings recap, NFC Challengers, NFL refs can do better Nov 29, 2013

The Seahawks may be on a bye, but Adam and Brandan have things to talk about including the appearance of Percy Harvin and the return of the starters on the offensive line.

In addition to recapping performances by the offense, defense and special teams against the Vikings, the guys discuss other teams in the NFC that may have the opportunity to challenge Seattle. Are any of the other teams in the NFC a match for this Seahawks team?

Responding to an email, the guys attempt to decide which two players it would take if Russell Wilson were somehow forced into being traded away from the team.

Folks that need to do better this week: an anonymous college scout who implies that Johnny Manziel is a lock to be better than Russell Wilson, and NFL referees have no consistency when it comes to determining if a ball is uncatchable.

Paul Allen makes an appearance on the list of those who are better at life than a certain employee at a top sports network along with Harvin for exceeding expectations even with limited playing time.

15: Falcons recap, Vikings preview, Traci Williams Interview Nov 13, 2013

The Seahawks played their most complete game of the season in their dominant 33-10 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Not only that, but they did it on the road to go to 5-1 on the season away from CenturyLink. And it was a 10am PT start. The idea that Seattle isn't a good road team can officially be put to bed if it hasn't already.

At 9-1 overall, Seattle is in a very different position than this time last year when they earned a 30-20 victory over the Vikings to go to 5-3. Now they're in position to earn home field advantage throughout the playoffs and the Vikings are going to have to fight to not finish last in their division.

Master Sgt. Traci Williams, president of the Military Sea Hawkers and board member for Operation Ward 57, is on the show this week to talk about Sunday's Military Appreciation Day activities and the Seahawks matchup against the Vikings. There will be a Medal of Honor recipient raising the 12th Man flag, another MOH recipient leading the team out of the tunnel and plenty of other activities to honor our men an women who are wearing and have put on a uniform in defense of our country.

Adam and Brandan take a look at how Russell Wilson is comparing to other quarterbacks in their sophomore season. From the email bag they talk about why you aren't seeing a lot of major contributions by rookies and talk about how not to be a "bandwagon" fan.

This week's candidates for the "do better" segment belong to Donald Penn, offensive tackle for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Bears fan John Grant who tazed his wife after a bet on the Bears vs. Packers game. Earl Thomas gets Adsam's nod for Better at life than Skip Bayless, and in the spirit of Veteran's Day,Brandan picks the team of veterans at ESPN and the video montage that played during their recognition.

14: Buccaneers recap, Falcons preview, Richie Incognito discussion Nov 06, 2013

A lot of Seahawks coverage and much more crammed in to one show this week. Adam and Brandan talk about the Buccaneers and how even up 21-0 it never felt as though the Seahawks were ever getting dominated in this week's game. It all led up to an historic comeback for Seattle topped off by another game winner by Steven Hauschka. The Seahawks get the 27-24 overtime win.

There's plenty of fawning over Russell Wilson this week, including a stiff arm perhaps only rivaled in recent memory by Marshawn Lynch in his Beast Quake run. Despite an electric punt return by Golden Tate, Adam still isn't keen on the idea of returning punts that are coming down inside the 10-yard line.

With the way Matt Ryan and the Falcons are playing this year, there's nothing scary about this Atlanta team. But with the way Seattle has played after Adam's stone cold lock predictions, it's not worth risking it this week with a similar call. Despite the injuries to the Falcons, Harry Douglas and Tony Gonzalez have the ability to inflict damage on the secondary.

After the break, Adam and Brandan give their opinion on what's been reported so far in Miami in regard to Jonathan Martin and Richie Incognito. They follow up by sending a message to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and Jaguars wide receiver Justin Blackmon in the "Do Better" segment.

Finally, a pair of quarterbacks are inducted into the club of those who the guys deem "better at life" than Skip Bayless. Nick Foles and Jason Campbell earn the top honors of the week for their play against the Raiders and Ravens.

13: Rams recap, Buccaneers preview, Dayna O'Gorman interview Oct 30, 2013

Do comments about the Seahawks from the national media have you down after a 14-9 win over the Rams? Adam and Brandan remind Seattle fans that this team is 7-1 for the first time in franchise history. Not only that, this team is 4-1 on the road.

The guys discuss where some of the struggles were in the game, and focus on the defense as one of the biggest reasons why this team was able to pull out the win despite only 135 yards total on offense.

Dayna O'Gorman, Seahawks fan reporter for nflfemale.com and co-host of the Wednesday Night With nflfemale podcast, joins the show to talk about the return of Michael Robinson and his presence on the sideline, her thoughts on Earl Thomas and how the defense played, as well as the struggles of the offensive line.

In their "Do Better" segment, they talk about Golden Tate and his 25-yard taunt on an 80-yard catch and how the offensive line must do better to keep Russell Wilson alive. A pair of Detroit Lions are recognized for being Better at Life than Skip Bayless and a moment of humility from Brett Favre and knowing when it's time to keep the cleats hung up also earns him a spot in the club.

12: Cardinals recap, Rams preview, Joe Tafoya interview Oct 22, 2013

Episode TWELVE is dedicated to the 12th Man. Not only do we get to discuss one of the Seahawks most impressive victories this season against the Cardinals, we bring on a former member of the Seattle Seahawks. Adam and Brandan also talk about the upcoming road game against the Rams. Adam says that a "and hurricane" can't even save the Rams from a loss this week.

Joe Tafoya, a 7-year veteran of the NFL and defensive end for the Seahawks from 2005-2006, joins the Sea Hawkers Podcast to talk about Volume 12. As co-owner of Volume 12, he led the effort behind the record breaking attempt for the loudest crowd roar against the San Francisco 49ers.

One thing is clear, Tafoya is not impressed with the way the Kansas City Chiefs broke the Seahawks noise record. Instead of having the crowd roar be an organic part of the game, he says that Chiefs fans were directed to assemble what fans were remaining in the stadium and let out one big cheer in one final attempt to break Seattle's mark.

In the final segment of the show, Brandan lists some of the top moments in the history of the 12th Man. The show is capped by the Seahawks fans at the Arizona game earning well-deserved recognition for being Better at life than Skip Bayless and also louder than the Cardinals own home crowd.

11: Titans recap, Cardinals preview, Mark Tye Turner interview Oct 16, 2013

It's a short week and the Seahawks matchup with the Arizona Cardinals is right around the corner. Although the stats show the Seahawks dominate this game, Adam and Brandan talk about some of the reasons why the score of the game was so close. They also discuss three of the hilarious moments (one in hindsight) from the game.

The Cardinals have historically been a tough matchup in Arizona, and the Seahawks will look to break that streak. The Seahawks strength on the defensive front matches up very well against the Cardinals struggling offensive line.

Author Mark Tye Turner visits the podcast, Mark wrote the book, Notes from a 12th Man: A Truly Biased History of the Seattle Seahawks. He's also a regular Seahawks contributor for the Seattle Times.

The final segment of the show includes a call for a small group of Seahawks/Huskies fans to cut Walter Thurmond some slack and Scott Zolak goes anti-Gus Johnson. Kansas City Chiefs fans and Adrian Peterson cap off the show earning recognition as "Better at life than Skip Bayless."

10: Colts recap, Titans preview, Johnnie Peel interview Oct 08, 2013

If you're feeling down about the Seahawks 34-28 loss to the Colts, this is the episode to download to help get you cheered up and ready for the matchup against the Tennessee Titans. What kind of chance do the Titans have? Adam has the answer.

There were several plays, players, coaches, and refs to hang this loss on, so Adam and Brandan point the finger at just about all of them, followed up with our tips on how to cope with any Seahawks loss.

Johnnie Peel, the blogger behind davekreigsstrikebeard.blogspot.com, comes on the show to compare Russell Wilson to quarterbacks of yesteryear and talk about why your confidence should not be shaken in this team's Super Bowl XLVIII destiny.

Former NFL safety John Lynch and Tony Romo are the target of this week's "Do Better" segment. Adam and Brandan talk about why Denver isn't the lock everyone seems to think they are to make it to the Super Bowl. The final segment gets a little crazy when an unknown "patriot" who made an appearance at the President's Cup is honored along with a 3-year-old who is already better at life than Skip Bayless.

9: Texans recap, Colts preview, Jenny Goos interview Oct 01, 2013

The Seattle Seahawks are 4-0 for the first time in franchise history. Brandan and Adam break down where the game turned around for the Seahawks, pinpoint the time when fans may have thought the team wouldn't come back, and how J.J. Watt looked like he belonged in the next installment of Scream.

In the Colts preview, Adam feels like he has to pick at least one game for the Seahawks to lose this season and this week is the one. Feel free to leave him some nasty comments on The Sea Hawkers Podcast Facebook page.

Jenny Goos, of OnHerGame.com, drops in at the 52:30 mark to talk about the win and her letter to the 49ers fans who complained about the crowd noise at CenturyLink. She also passes on some words of wisdom on how guys can help get their wives and girlfriends more interested in the games. Don't bother with the rules, tell her stories about the players and why this team has so many great guys to root for.

Coincidentally, the podcast obtains an "exclusive follow-up editorial" from Rich and Judy who find another fairness issue to complain about beyond the crowd noise. This time they tackle the issue of fairness of the schedule.

49ers and Houston fans alike are the focus of this week's "Do Better" segment, Richard Sherman is the first two-time honoree of the "Better at Life than Skip Bayless" segment and Steven Hauschka earns the honor for his game-winning kick.

8: Jaguars recap, Texans preview, Darin Pike interview Sep 25, 2013

After a 45-17 win over the Jaguars this week, Brandan and Adam tip their hat to the Jaguars for doing something the 49ers couldn't do: score a touchdown at CenturyLink. After the game, the defense made a point in saying that giving up 17 points and 265 yards was unacceptable. Should fans agree with that view?

One thing that is becoming apparent is the improved chemistry between Russell Wilson and the Seahawks receivers. Brandan wraps up the Jaguars recap by trying to make Jacksonville feel a little bit better about their decision to draft Bryan Anger ahead of Russell Wilson (as much as that's possible).

In a preview of the Houston game, Brandan expects a much closer game between the Texans and Seahawks. Despite having the #2 ranked defense, Adam can't find a single player on the Texans defense to give credit to.

Darin Pike, Seahawks columnist for Bleacher Report, comes on to talk about the teams in the NFC West. Having originally predicted the 49ers to finish third in the division, Darin now says they'll finish behind both the Rams and Cardinals.

Adam kicks of the inaugural "Do Better" segment by calling out Jacoby Jones of the Ravens. Brandan picks on Frank Gore for challenging his coach on the sidelines following the 49ers game against the coach.

Finally, in "Better at life than Skip Bayless," Adam contrasts Bruce Irvin to 49ers pass rusher Aldon Smith and Cardinals safety Rashad Johnson loses a part of his finger but earns a place on the "Better at life" list.

7: Jaguars preview, 49ers fans want quiet road games Sep 20, 2013

For the first time, Adam and Brandan take an entire first segment to break down an upcoming Seahawks game. The Jacksonville Jaguars deserve it, right? You won't believe Adam's prediction for the final score or the type of natural disaster the Jags would need to pull out a victory.

There's no calming Adam down when he goes into a tirade over a suggestion by 49ers fans that some rule changes should be instituted to quiet down the Seahawks fans at CenturyLink.

Finally, listen to find out why Michael Vick and a member of the 12th Man with too much time on his hands are both better at life than Skip Bayless.

6: 49ers recap, Mike Flood interview (Seahawks), 12th Man record Sep 18, 2013

Following the recap, Brandan and Adam interview Mike Flood, Vice President of Community Relations for the Seattle Seahawks, before the game Saturday night.

In the last segment, Brandan talks about experiencing a live Jim Harbaugh press conference, and Adam learns a bit of history behind one of Harbaugh's quotes, which may consciously or subconsciously compare the 49ers 29-3 loss to the Boston Massacre.

We talk about Skip Bayless as a master bloviator as we take your suggestions on how Bayless could possibly get into the Guinness Book of World Records. It's the perfect lead in to naming the 12th Man as the unanimous pick for "Better at Life."
