Sea Hawkers Podcast
Our Seattle Seahawks enter the playoffs with a number of players who could become unexpected postseason heroes -- guys who could deliver outsized performances when it matters most. Is there a player on defense who could shadow Rams receiver Puka Nacua? Derek Hall's disruptive presence on the defensive line, despite limited snaps, positions him for a playoff breakout with his speed-to-power rush creating havoc even when sacks don't materialize. Cooper Kupp's regular season numbers don't tell the full story of his impact, but could finally deliver the red zone production Seattle envisioned. We...

The Seattle Seahawks have earned their bye week as the NFC's top seed, and the dominance couldn't be sweeter. Mike McDonald's squad dismantled the 49ers in a performance that left no question about who was the top team in the NFC. T Jaxon Smith-Njigba capped off a historic season with 1,793 receiving yards—outpacing the entire New York Jets receiving corps—while the offensive evolution under Klint Kubiak has transformed Seattle from an explosive passing attack into a balanced team that others will fear in the playoffs. Charles Cross locked in a four-year, $104 million extension that looks...

With a home playoff game on the horizon, the Seahawks have announced major contract extension for offensive lineman Charles Cross.

We also talk about what the Seahawks may want to do at running back in the offseason. Following Sunday's slate of games, the playoff positions are all set.

Join us as we celebrate the Seahawks defensive dominance on their way to victory and clinching of the NFC West title. We highlight the ineptitude of the 49ers offense that was considered one of the hottest in football coming into Week 18. But CMC and Purdy were shut down entirely thanks to relentless pressure from the Seahawks front. Nick Emmanwori stood out as he continues his campaign for defensive rookie of the year and Drake Thomas came up with a clutch turnover late in the game to help keep the Niners out of the end zone. The offense didn't need many points. They controlled the clock with...

The Seattle Seahawks will need to go through the San Francisco 49ers to take the number one seed that they've needed for each of the Super Bowl runs. The Niners offense is on a hot streak, but how much of it is due to high level play vs low caliber NFL defenses? This Seahawks defense is much improved over the team that only allowed 17 points against a healthy Week 1 Kyle Shanahan offense. Sam Darnold’s journey through the NFL and even through this season takes center stage once again. The NFL works in funny ways sometimes and this game sets up for a redemption ark that goes back to his final...

It's rivalry week and the division title and a first round bye is on the line! We preview the Week 18 matchup between the Seahawks and the 49ers and cover everything from quarterback performances to key players on defense. With a fourth run at the Super Bowl on the line, we key in on the number four for this week's theme. The Seahawks offense, led by Sam Darnold, can exploit the 49ers pass rush, but can the defense limit a Niners offense that has been explosive these past few weeks?We close the show talking about how this game can impact coaching legacies for Kyle Shanahan and Mike Macdonald...
info_outlineAfter two weeks of free agency, the plan for the Seahawks offseason is becoming clear. The large contract they traded for on the offensive line by acquiring Gabe Jackson is essentially swapped out with the departure of Jarran Reed and his contract on the defensive line. The return of Carlos Dunlap may be the most important move and the reduction in his salary allows for the addition of defensive end Kerry Hyder and the return of Al Woods to the interior. It's also appears they are sacrificing their full participation in the draft and instead trading for proven veteran talent.
The San Francisco 49ers made a huge move this past week by trading two future first round picks to move up to the third pick overall. We get into the history of NFL trades into the top three picks to show there is risk involved. However, for a team that has seen success with an average quarterback, the potential reward is easily worth the risk in their case. We discuss the move in context with the other NFC West teams who have been working to upgrade their rosters this offseason.
The fact that the 49ers are giving up the 12th overall pick and two more first round picks just to move up nine spots in the draft demonstrates how ridiculous the Chicago Bears reported trade package for Russell Wilson was. But it hasn't stopped people like former general manager Mike Tannenbaum from suggesting that the Seahawks could still move on from Wilson for (once again) Sam Darnold.
In the second half of the show, one of our members of the Flock is considering adjusting his relationship status if it can somehow help the Seahawks get back to championship form. Adam goes after the owners for nearing completion for their push to a 17-game schedule and Brandan goes after Mike Florio for his rooting interest surrounding the Seahawks quarterback. Better at Life honors go to a new season and to the Miami Dolphins for giving Adam the perfect football gift.
