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...

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...
info_outlineRussell Wilson has a record-setting performance this week in a 28-26 loss to a division rival. Adam and Brandan talk about some of the special teams plays that sunk the Seahawks this week, problems with the Seahawks pass rush and the sudden departure of Percy Harvin.
The Carolina Panthers are next up on the schedule and might be just the right team for Seattle to play to get back into the win column. A Panthers defense that was the strength of the team last season is now struggling and they have injuries among other problems on the offensive line. Sound familiar. A bit, but things seem to be much worse in Carolina.
The guys interview former Seahawks kicker Norm Johnson and talk about everything from his recent work in creating a craft beer for Seahawks fans -- The 12 Man Pale Ale -- to one of his best memories in helping the Seahawks reach the playoffs for the first time back in 1983.
With the recent Percy Harvin trade, Norm talks about the difference certain guys can make in the locker room as Brian Bosworth was one of his least favorite guys to play with in Seattle. He discusses how he had the exact opposite experience with Deion Sanders during his time with the Falcons.
The guys give this week's picks and talk about plans to add a second show to the week by breaking out the pick'em segment into a show scheduled for release on Thursdays tentatively titled "SHP: NFL Full 32."
Earl Thomas and Peyton Manning get "do better" nods this week and DeMarco Murray and Russell Wilson are "better at life" for each accomplishing something no player has ever done in the NFL.
