12 as One: The Story Behind the Seattle Seahawks 2025 Super Bowl Run

Sea Hawkers Podcast

Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic joins us to talk about his new book, "." Mike talks about how writing a book gave him a different kind of avenue to report some behind the scenes information compared to daily beat coverage. He explains how the "12 As One" mantra runs through the whole roster, and the throughline of selflessness he found from Ernest Jones's story to the other vets who helped carry the message. We talk about Macdonald's approach worked in Seattle when a similar first-time-coach jump didn't for Jerod Mayo in New England, and the "high-powered" standard Julian Love set for the...

505: Seattle Seahawks 2026 Season Expectations

Sea Hawkers Podcast

It's our annual tradition, and this year it comes with a twist — our Seattle Seahawks are defending a Super Bowl. We go position group by position group through the roster heading into 2026: an offensive line built on continuity, Sam Darnold's turnover profile, a receiving corps anchored by JSN and Rashid Shaheed, a tight end room we think could be special, and a defense we believe is the best in the league under Mike Macdonald. We land on our record predictions and make our case for a repeat. Then we get looser — a "sports hate" riff on Aaron Donald and the Rams, stories from a trip to...

Countdown to Kickoff: One More Week Until Seahawks vs Patriots

Sea Hawkers Podcast

We're one week away from our Seattle Seahawks kicking off their title defense against the New England Patriots, and Field Gulls managing editor Mookie Alexander joins us to break it down. We start with the Seahawks roster: the running back competition, a safety room banged up by injury, and continuity questions on offense under new OC Brian Fleury. There are also several changes to the Patriots roster: their retooled receiver room around A.J. Brown, some movement on their offensive line and veteran help at safety. Mookie responds to questions surrounding the Patriots and CB Christian...

Seahawks Roster Cuts Behind the Scenes: Hard Knocks Finale

Sea Hawkers Podcast

The final episode of Hard Knocks helped to close out the preseason just one week ahead of kickoff, and we're breaking down everything from the lead up to roster cuts and the emotional moments of making the roster. Montorie Foster's call to his parents after making the team is the heart of the episode, alongside Uso Seumalo's relief at sticking on the ready squad. We get a look behind the scenes at Nick Emmanwori's uncertain recovery timeline, and discuss the new short-shorts rivalry. Plus, our favorite moments (and critiques) from the season of Hard Knocks — the soundtrack, the...

Seahawks Roster Down to 53: Who Made the Cut?

Sea Hawkers Podcast

The Seattle Seahawks' initial 53-man roster is set, and we went live to talk about the biggest surprises and areas where there is still some concern going into the season. The Seahawks kept a surprising number of offensive linemen. But in the past when we had a surprising lack of depth at guard, we are now to the point where guys seemingly beat the odds to make the team. The running back room may be a concern until Zach Charbonnet gets back, but that's mainly because we haven't seen much from the guys throughout the preseason (by design). A fan favorite from Hard Knocks made the initial 53,...

Kicking Crisis Watch? Seahawks vs Chiefs Preseason Finale Reaction

Sea Hawkers Podcast

The Seattle Seahawks are technically undefeated under transferring to new ownership this week. Seattle tied the Kansas City Chiefs 9-9 in the preseason finale, and concerns are running high that we may be on the verge of a special teams crisis. We get into another Jason Myers shaky preseason outing and how it stacks up against some real cautionary tales at the position, plus Michael Dickson's continued excellence at punter. Jalen Milroe's strong performance gave him something to build off of for the future. We work through roster bubble battles at cornerback, wide receiver, backup guard, and...

Kubiak to Fleury: What's Actually Changing on Offense (w/ Coach DC)

Sea Hawkers Podcast

We dig into the film with Derek Coleman, a.k.a. Coach DC, of All 22 Films to figure out who new offensive coordinator Brian Fleury is showing us so far as a play caller. We break down what's carrying over from Klint Kubiak's system and what's genuinely new, from pre-snap running back motion to the 12-personnel "Ace" formation to the shotgun run game. We get into how losing Jake Bobo and Robbie Ouzts reshapes the run game and tight end room, why Drew Lock is the trusted QB2, and a coach's-eye replay of both of Milroe's preseason interceptions.

Bud Clark's Injury, the WR Bubble, and the Rookie Talent Show (Hard Knocks Ep. 4)

Sea Hawkers Podcast

Following Hard Knocks Episode 4, we react to Bud Clark's broken ankle and the warrior mentality he showed, Julian Love's case as the team's emotional anchor, and the rookie talent show where the winner was Derick Hall? We get into the roster bubble battles, Leonard Williams' leadership, and whether the Hard Knocks glow-up would figure into the consideration to cut a player. Will the Tory Horton injury factor into how many roster spots the Seahawks carry at wide receiver into the season? Plus, some great questions straight from the flock, including how we all became Seahawks fans. Join...

Seahawks vs. Titans Preseason Week 2 Standouts and Concerns

Sea Hawkers Podcast

Our Seattle Seahawks fell 19-16 to the Tennessee Titans in their second preseason game (and first one on the road), but the final score barely tells the story. We break down a first half where Seattle's second team outplayed the Titans first team, a strong showing up front on defense, and a receiver room who doesn't seem to have anyone stepping up to fill the void left by Jake Bobo's injury. We get into Jalen Milroe's rough second half and the two interceptions that came with it, questions surrounding the running back room in spite of the big run by Jacardia Wright, and a scary run of...

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.
