Sea Hawkers Podcast
As we look ahead to the Seahawks upcoming game against the Atlanta Falcons, we discuss what it will take to secure that crucial 10-3 record. The Falcons are struggling in key areas like pass pro and run defense, so what can the Seahawks do to make sure those struggles continue? With the Falcons leaning heavily into their running game, that may be an area where our Seahawks can exploit them. Later in the episode, we rank which aspects of each team stand the most chance of getting hot and why our defensive and offensive lines are poised to shine. Plus, our flockers chime in with their game...

Did the Minnesota Vikings find a way to solve the NFL's Jaxon Smith-Njigba problem? Or were there a combination of factors that simply kept the ball from going JSN's way. We talk about some of the strategies Minnesota used -- from pressuring Sam to their use of linebacker and safety to send some extra attention toward the NFL's leading receiver. Ernest Jones earned NFL honors for his game on Saturday, but DeMarcus Lawrence should have been in consideration for two of the biggest plays of the game. The Atlanta Falcons are on deck for Seattle and may be the last "easy" game on the schedule. But...

We've promised for years that when the Seahawks get a shutout, we're focusing only on the INs and passing up the OUTs. While this game certainly had its negatives, we fulfill a promise with Seattle's first shutout since 2015. Standout moments from Drake Thomas are among the highlights as he continues to shine on defense. Kenneth Walker III takes a soul and gets some highlight-worthy blocking. The team chemistry and defensive prowess were on full display, making this shutout win a significant one. Finally, we take a look at DeMarcus Lawrence's relentless hustle led to two incredible plays,...

Max Brosmer never stood a chance. The Seattle Seahawks dominated in a 26-0 shutout victory over the Minnesota Vikings. We dive into the incredible defensive performance, highlighting standout plays from DeMarcus Lawrence, Ernest Jones, and a defensive line that overwhelmed Minnesota's offense. Offensively, the Seahawks did enough to complement the defense, with Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet grinding out yards against an aggressive Vikings front. While not impressive, Sam Darnold put together the kind of performance we wished we could have seen against the Rams a couple weeks ago. The...

The Seahawks kick off against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. We take a look at the latest news as Quandre Diggs is called up from the practice squad along with Velus Jones and Myles Gaskin. Our poll question this week centers around how many sacks the defense could get against the Vikings rookie quarterback. Majority of fans took the 5+ route, and we discuss why 3-4 is the more likely option to see. Stick around for the top bets of the week as Clinton and Adam strategize around who could see an increase in targets if the Vikings continue to go heavy on the blitz on defense. ...

With the playoffs in sight, the Seattle Seahawks look to continue their streak of only losing one game per month if they can finish strong against the Minnesota Vikings. The return of Quandre Diggs brings a familiar spark to the defense, while we wait to see if Ty Okada will be back in the lineup on Sunday. Minnesota is rolling out an undrafted rookie quarterback with J.J. McCarthy in concussion protocol. Will they continue to stick to a pass-heavy game plan that hasn’t delivered for them this season? The run game—or lack thereof—stands out as a key factor, and Seattle’s ability to put...

Can the Seahawks save a little room to feast on a young Vikings QB? We may have to wait to see which one, as J.J. McCarthy is in concussion protocol and we could end up seeing Max Brosmer under center. We work through a Thanksgiving-themed game, drawing parallels between the top dishes and pressing football questions related to our Seahawks. Will the Hawks overcome some frustrations we've discussed on offense? What are their chances against a struggling Vikings team? We close the show with our game predictions and a roundup of wishes from the Flock. Join our - free prizes for weekly winners....

The Seahawks coasted to victory over the Tennessee Titans in Nashville, getting the 30-24 win off another standout performance by Jaxon Smith-Njigba. With six games remaining in the season, JSN has already set a franchise record with 1,313 receiving yards. His two touchdowns helped keep Seattle out ahead of the Titans and in control of the game all afternoon. Ken Walker provided another significant contribution with more than 100 yards of offense and some explosive plays in both the passing and run game. The defense tallied four sacks as Cam Ward was under significant pressure and they managed...

Join us from Nashville as we discuss Seahawks news, injuries, and upcoming matchups. We kick things off with a special meetup announcement for local Seahawks fans in Nashville ahead of the game against the Titans. We then dive into some injury updates for Tory Horton, Tyrice Knight, and Ernest Jones, and how these absences could impact the game. With the Titans also dealing with injuries, especially in their wide receiver corps, we discuss the potential lineup changes and what to expect from quarterback Cam Ward. In the second half of the show, we'll shift focus to our Blue Friday bets,...
info_outlineThe 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.
