3 IN, 3 OUT: Byron Murphy, the Big Stunt and Emmanwori's Rare Miss
Sea Hawkers Podcast
The Seattle Seahawks are 3-3 after a 17-14 overtime loss to the Denver Broncos, and the question hanging over the Flock is whether we can still be a special team. We went back to the tape and found a LOT to love: a stunt up the middle that nearly turned into a pick-six, and Byron Murphy shrugging off a double team like it was nothing. We also found the stuff that still has us upset days after the game, from a pass-pro breakdown on Grey Zabel's pull to a soft zone on a crucial third-and-eight. Is Brian Fleury the problem, or does a brand new offensive coordinator need more than six games and...

Does Sam Darnold Suck? 6 Possible Culprits For His Poor Play
Sea Hawkers Podcast
The Seattle Seahawks are 3-3 after an overtime loss to the Denver Broncos, and many in the Flock are asking the same question: does Sam Darnold suck now? Some want Drew Lock. Some of us want patience. We all want answers! So we lined up six possible culprits (an injury, an age cliff, a collapsed run game, a regressing O-line, our offensive coordinator, and plain old random variance) and put each one under the microscope with the interception numbers, the pressure rates and the tape. Is Sam cooked, or is something bigger broken around him, and how much of it can actually be fixed? The Kansas...

Seahawks Come Back, Then Give It Back: A Pick Dooms Us in Denver
Sea Hawkers Podcast
The Seattle Seahawks remain winless at Mile High since 2006 after a TNF loss vs the the Broncos. Jaxon Smith-Njigba put on another clinic, but Sam Darnold couldn't take care of the football when it mattered most. Our defense held Bo Nix to 107 passing yards and kept handing the offense chances, but two Sam Darnold interceptions, a Rashid Shaheed fumble, a missed field goal, and a handful of drive-extending penalties were too much to overcome. JSN was basically the whole offense with 12 catches for 134 yards. We dig into the run game without Zach Charbonnet and Jadarian Price, a rough day for...

Seahawks vs Broncos: Week 6 Game News, Notes, and Top Predictions
Sea Hawkers Podcast
The Seattle Seahawks are about to kick off against the Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football, and we're fired up! Denver is missing Pat Surtain II and Talanoa Hufanga, so how much does a banged-up secondary open the door for Sam Darnold and our passing game? Our own inactive list has a big one, too: Drake Thomas is out, Tyrice Knight steps in, and we weigh what we gain and what we lose at linebacker. Is Zach Charbonnet's return really around the corner, and just how excited should we be on a scale of one to 12? Finally, our picks: from Bo Nix's completions to Jaxon Smith-Njigba's catches...

What If?... The Seahawks Can Win By A Mile in Denver
Sea Hawkers Podcast
The Seattle Seahawks head to Mile High to face the Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football, and our offense badly needs to start soaring. It's a short week, so there's no time to dwell on that loss to the 49ers. We map out what has to go right: slowing down Zach Allen and Nik Bonitto, finding yards in the run game with Zach Charbonnet still out, and getting Jaxon Smith-Njigba free against a banged-up Denver secondary. Can our offensive line hold up, and does Sean Payton, back to calling the plays for Denver make this offense scarier? We also read the wishes from the Flock, make a few wishes...

Sam Darnold, RB Fumbles or the O-Line? Choosing Our Biggest Seahawks Concern
Sea Hawkers Podcast
The Seattle Seahawks dropped a 32-29 heartbreaker to the San Francisco 49ers, so what is the real problem with our Seahawks? We asked the Flock in a YouTube poll (Sam Darnold's turnovers, O-line regression, JSN or bust, or a running back room we can't trust) and then went straight to the tape. Why did Sam stare down a double-covered Shaheed with Barner wide open? And why on Earth did we run a wide zone play from our own four with the half winding down instead of just taking a knee? We also break down one of the runs from a three tight end set that worked before we ditched it. There were some...

Seahawks vs Niners Postgame: A Turnover Fest Turns South
Sea Hawkers Podcast
The Seattle Seahawks lost 32-29 to the San Francisco 49ers, and our Seahawks gave this one away! Four turnovers, a fumble that never should have happened before halftime, and a last drive that stalled at midfield. How do you give up that many easy points and still have a shot at the end? We break down Sam Darnold's turnover problem, Byron Murphy's monster day, Mike Evans torching Josh Jobe, and the Cooper Kupp fourth-down spot everyone is asking about. We also get into when it really would be time to call for Drew Lock, and whether a healthy run game fixes this offense. The 49ers are two games...

Seahawks vs Niners: Week 5 Game News, Notes, and Top Predictions
Sea Hawkers Podcast
The Seattle Seahawks host the San Francisco 49ers at Lumen Field tomorrow, and we're taking a look at the injury report before game day. Leonard Williams has no injury designation after coming out of the game with an ankle injury and Ty Okada is set to play. We finally get both starting safeties on the field together! The Niners? They're without Nick Bosa and Kyle Juszczyk, and Upton Stout is a question mark in the middle of the field. So is this really a new 49ers offense just because Mike Evans? We aren't buying it, and we'll tell you why. Plus, the Marvin Harrison Jr. trade news out of the...

What If?... The Seahawks Can 'Prove It' Against the Undefeated Niners
Sea Hawkers Podcast
The Seattle Seahawks host the San Francisco 49ers this Sunday, and this one's a big game! The Niners are undefeated. Our Seahawks are the champs. So who proves it? We go through six "prove it" questions on this week's show. Can our run game be a positive influence? Can our pass rush get home against that top-ranked O-line? Who still has a lot to prove? What does Sam Darnold need to improve? Which pass-catching group is the best in the game? And how do our DBs make the Brock Purdy MVP talk look a little presumptive? Finally, we read your wishes from the Flock, make our own (a Devon Witherspoon...

509: Seahawks Running Back Panic, 49ers Rolling Into Seattle on Cloud Nine
Sea Hawkers Podcast
The Seattle Seahawks host the San Francisco 49ers this week, and we can't wait to destroy the delusion that is fueling the Niners fanbase. Are the Niners really that good? Or have they just feasted on a soft schedule? We break it all down. Our offense is still near the bottom of the league on third down, there's real running back panic after the Jadarian Price injury and the Joe Mixon attempted signing, and it appears that letting Kenneth Walker walk was a mistake. Have you heard that Brock Purdy hasn't been sacked yet? There's a reason for it that we get into and it's not likely to remain...
info_outlineDespite reaching the NFC Championship game four out of the last five years and making it to two Super Bowls, the 49ers have yet to secure a championship ring. In the third and final episode of the 2024 Know Your Rival series, we break down the 49ers' playoff woes, Kyle Shanahan's legacy, and what to expect this season. Will the Seahawks or Rams find a way to overtake the Niners and win the division? Can the 49ers overcome their history of choking in big games?
We discuss many of the 49ers' offseason moves, particularly the changes on their defensive line. The loss of key players like Eric Armstead and Javon Kinlaw could be a significant blow, especially when combined with the aging roster. The hosts discuss how these changes might affect the 49ers' ability to dominate in the trenches.
In the second half of the show, we talk Seahawks training camp and the lack of news around the signing of Connor Williams. Byron Murphy was involved with thwarting an online extortion scheme, which could prove to be useful if we deploy it against our division rivals. Do better call outs go to Brock Purdy and the NFL Network, while Better at Life honors go to scientists for their new findings about Mercury and to a Mariners fan for unselfishly giving up a milestone baseball to a rival.
