Sea Hawkers Podcast: for Seattle Seahawks fans

Latest Episodes:

The Rain City Miracle with William Cornell of the Rain City Redemption Series Jan 06, 2017

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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.

If two shows weren't enough this week, get in the Flock and tune into our bonus show where we discuss your Seahawks deserving of Pro Bowl votes, and a former NFL quarterback says we should be considering Carroll among best all-time coaches.

132: The Dark Knight Returns, Wilson vs Brady separated by one big stat, Jen Briney of Congressional Dish Nov 16, 2016

Show notes

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.
