Sea Hawkers Podcast: for Seattle Seahawks fans

Latest Episodes:

112: Ricardo Lockette retires, draft recap w/Rob Staton, big weekend coming up for Seahawks fans in Seattle May 15, 2016

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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.
