3 IN, 3 OUT: Do the Seahawks Have a Fleury Problem?
Sea Hawkers Podcast
The Seattle Seahawks beat the Los Angeles Chargers 30-23 to move to 3-1, but a bunch of you are already asking the same question: do we have a Brian Fleury problem? So we went to the tape. Thirty points. Three games in a row. Is that really a problem? On offense our wide zone looked great when it was clicking, Defensively, Drake Thomas played football exactly the way we like to watch it, and on special teams Jason Myers had a couple of kicks that had us fuming. Add in a Nehemiah Pritchett pass breakup, a preview of what life without Leonard Williams would look like, and one Sam Darnold...

The 30-23 victory moves the Seahawks to 3-1 ahead of next week's divisional matchup with the undefeated San Francisco 49ers. We go through Sam Darnold's game versus the Chargers defense, some of the throws he missed and what we saw from the interception that started his day. Despite the early turnover, it was three turnovers by the Seahawks defense after that moment that helped swing the game in Seattle's favor, particularly the...

508: Run Game Woes, JSN Making History, and a Chargers Preview
Sea Hawkers Podcast
The Seahawks are 2-1 heading into Week 4, and coming off the loss head coach Mike Macdonald walked into the building this week and said "you can feel the resolve." JSN is chasing Calvin Johnson's all-time receiving record, Brian Fluery is trying to find his way in the red zone, and Julian Love will hopefully be back in the lineup this week. The preview then shifts to a struggling 0-3 opponent, digging into their beat-up offensive line, an underwhelming receiver room, and a pass rush anchored by two very different players. A wild Sunday around the rest of the league gets covered too, including...

3 IN, 3 OUT: Six Seahawks Conversations That Actually Matter

Topics range from Jadarian Price's snap share and the special-teams kickoff-coverage issues, to a debate over Tory Horton versus Rashid Shaheed's roles. We also get into what appeared to be a stubborn tendency to run right, a red-zone play-calling gripe that's been building for weeks, and what's driving the Sam Darnold versus Drew Lock conversation. We also dig into the defense allowing a thousand...

Sam Darnold's two interceptions get a full breakdown, along with some pointed criticism of Seattle's own defensive play-calling for going too conservative. We also go over a couple calls that we think helped to...

507: 12 Straight Seahawks Wins, Washington's Injury Woes, and a Cold War Averted
Sea Hawkers Podcast
A dominant win over the Cardinals pushed the Seahawks to 2-0 on the year and 12 straight victories dating back to last season. Jaxon Smith-Njigba's 82-yard touchdown headlines the offensive breakdown, but it's the offensive line's complete performance up front that gets the real credit, right alongside a competition brewing at right guard. Looking ahead to this weekend, we run through Washington's growing injury list and wonder if the Seahawks will avoid the strength of this Commanders defense to start the game on Sunday. We remind everyone what Sam Darnold did against the Commanders. But will...

What If?... The Seahawks Bring the BTA to Washington
Sea Hawkers Podcast
The Seahawks are 2-0 and headed east to face a Washington Commanders team without an injured Jayden Daniels. If Sam Darnold needs another week, it's shaping up to be a battle of backup quarterbacks with Marcus Mariota under center. We work through six themed "What If" categories, from the Commanders' backfield mix of Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Rachaad White to how much trouble Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs can cause through the air. We dig into the matchups, map out what a complete performance from our own defense would look like, and put a plan on the board for taking away Washington's...
info_outlineThis 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.
