Seahawks-Cowboys Preseason Preview: Terrion Arnold, Milroe, and Roster Battles
Sea Hawkers Podcast
Our Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks kick-off the pre-season this Saturday vs. the Dallas Cowboys and there are a LOT of major story lines we are focused on. The Terrion Arnold signing at the start of the show has us weighing the on-field talent against the off-field questions, Jadarian Price's availability is up in the air, and there are position battles to keep an eye on. We break down what to expect from Jalen Milroe as he competes for the QB2 job, dig into the offensive line battle at right guard, and who should we be cheering on in the fullback competition. Plus, we're forced to look...

Mike Macdonald Cuts Loose: Hard Knocks Episode 2 Reaction
Sea Hawkers Podcast
The second episode of Hard Knocks focusing on our Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks is out and we're breaking it down in our live reaction. Sam Darnold's arm talent was heavily featured and we point back to a consensus top five QB who recognized Sam's game years ago. As our Seahawks install a new offense, Jaxon Smith-Njigba's low-maintenance attitude about learning new terminology says a lot about one of the league's top talents. Mike Macdonald has a coaching moment featured as part of the open and it's a side of our head coach that we haven't really seen. It puts Derick Hall in the...

Seahawks Camp Check-In: Byron Murphy, Depth Chart Battles, and a Real Concern
Sea Hawkers Podcast
Our Seahawks had their 2026 Fan Fest this weekend and some light injuries sprung up. We're getting into a few major storylines that are dominating the 2026 pre-season for our Seahawks. The cornerback room everyone's watching, projecting Byron Murphy's year-three leap, and the level of contribution we'll get from Cooper Kupp at this stage of his career. Plus we got an update on Nick Emmanwori's injury timeline, Robbie Ouzts has some mystery ailment, the QB battle behind Sam Darnold could see a shakeup with some retirement news in Minnesota, and a fullback wildcard option worth keeping an...

Hard Knocks Seahawks Premiere: Live Reaction & Instant Breakdown
Sea Hawkers Podcast
Hard Knocks dropped its Seattle Seahawks premiere and we watched it live so we can all react to it together. We break down the ring ceremony (a little bit buzzed John Schneider is a top moment along with Sam Darnold dropping his ring), and we get to see what Mike Macdonald's "secret sauce is connection" philosophy actually looks like on camera. Nick Emmanwori is already getting the standout-player treatment, so should we be concerned that he may not be ready in time for the start of the season? Plus training camp fights, the Devon Witherspoon contract "Soon-O-Meter," a Sam Darnold reality...

504: Los Angeles Rams - Know Your Rival 2026
Sea Hawkers Podcast
The 2026 Know Your Rival series closes out with the team everyone else in the NFL seems to be convinced is the best in football - the Los Angeles Rams. The offseason narrative around these two teams has centered more on the two-point conversion that Zach Charbonnet picked up and not the field goal miss by Jason Myers that could have made the 2025 series a 3-0 clean sweep in favor of the Seahawks. What does the Myles Garrett trade actually add after trading away a young talent in Jared Verse trade? Does Aaron Donald coming out of retirement actually matter? Puka Nacua and Alaric Jackson both...

Managers of Violence: Seahawks Week 1 Training Camp Notes
Sea Hawkers Podcast
Live from Sunday night, we're wrapping up Week 1 of Seahawks training camp before tomorrow's Rams Know Your Rival episode drops. Tory Horton played six games on a broken tibia last year, got a rod put in his leg in February, and is already back making plays. The defense picked up a new nickname (or slogan?) and rocking new 'Manager of Violence' apparel. Word of Byron Murphy's camp performance has us thinking he's about to become an even bigger problem for the league, and we're not letting Madden's 26th ranking of our Super Bowl champion defense go unchallenged. Plus: the Devon Witherspoon...

Big Time Energy: Seahawks Camp Is Open for Business
Sea Hawkers Podcast
The Seattle Seahawks are back in training camp and, as a bonus, we don't have any offseason drama to clean up before we get to the actual football. Cooper Kupp is making one-handed grabs that make you wonder what he has left to prove, Mike Macdonald is quoting Michael Jordan and the '91 Bulls to a locker room that's still mostly intact from a championship roster, and new offensive coordinator Brian Fleury is getting some high praise from his head coach. We discuss why Devon Witherspoon still not having an extension could be a concern, and we get into why it may be better to get Sam Darnold...

Slump or Jump: Predictions for the Seahawks Sophomore Class (4th Annual)
Sea Hawkers Podcast
Reports on Wednesday suggested that the Seattle Seahawks are gearing up to make Devon Witherspoon the highest paid cornerback in football. After watching Jaxon Smith-Njigba get paid at the top of the receiver market this offseason, this feels like another easy "yes" this offseason. We break down where the corner market actually sits right now and some of the reasons why Spoon is worth every penny of it. But there's a wrinkle. Christian Gonzalez is also looking for a new deal. Who gets paid first? Who gets paid more? Finally, we dig into the NFL's Top 100, and predict where Sam Darnold could...

Witherspoon On Deck To Become NFL's Highest Paid Corner

Arizona Cardinals - Know Your Rival 2026
Sea Hawkers Podcast
The Know Your Rival series rolls on to the team most Seahawks fans admittedly care the least about beating - the Arizona Cardinals. Arizona finished 3-14 last year, lost 14 of their final 15 games, and ran a defense that gave up more than 6,000 yards. So what did the Bidwills actually do about it? They fired Jonathan Gannon (now coaching in Green Bay), handed the keys to first-time head coach Mike LaFleur, spent the #3 overall pick on Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love, and for some unknown reason decided to reach on a third-round quarterback nobody wanted. It's hard not to view their...
info_outlineFans are frustrated and looking for answers after back-to-back losses to division rivals. With the prospects of a playoff push now dimming, should the Seahawks start the firing spree? With that type of move unlikely to happen, we dig into some of the statistics of the NFL's best offensive teams and look at some of the ways the best offenses in the league are scoring the most points, leading in DVOA and also creating explosive plays. Plus, it's something the Seahawks might actually be good at if they just choose to do more of it.
If the Seahawks are going to maintain their playoff hopes, one win over the next three games should keep them in the running. The matchup against the Dallas Cowboys may present their best opportunity. The downside is that Dallas has been one of the NFL's best teams playing at home this season. They've been destroying bad teams on their home turf. If the Seahawks truly are bad, this Thursday's game should tell the story.
The Arizona Cardinals didn't do anything to help our Seahawks with the Rams spot in the NFC West standings. We also may be seeing why they were ok with moving on from Josh Dobbs who had a disaster of a performance against the Chicago Bears. A pair of writers from the Athletic and a legendary actor find themselves in the crosshairs to Do Better. We close with a discussion on why both society and YouTube Premium are better at life than Skip Bayless.
