3 IN, 3 OUT: The Seahawks Plays That Show Real Growth
Sea Hawkers Podcast
Week 9 was a must win and we got that dub. However, many Seahawks fans are feeling underwhelmed by this 2026 squad so we're diving into the film review to examine some specific plays from our Seattle Seahawks from this game agains the Cardinals. We're looking at under the radar moments, mostly good, some not so good, and discussing the evidence we see that some critical aspects of our game might be showing the action green shoots we've been wanting to see. Stick around for the 2nd half of the show as we reveal the week 9 MVC - Most Valuable Cranny as well as hearing From the Flock as we read...

Seahawks Get Their Swagger Back: Will it Help Fix the Death Wobble?
Sea Hawkers Podcast
After rewatching the Sunday's Seahawks game and hearing what the players had to say in the press conferences, we dig into Drew Lock's growing body of work. How much quality of competition should count? Adam explains why this offense feels like a Jeep with a bad case of the death wobble. Will a bit of swagger coming off this victory help fix it, or are there other minor issues to tweak. We attempt to untangle a bit of the officiating, with a look at the Sundell flag and the double-foul rule that disregarded a penalty. Could Seattle be shifting toward gap scheme runs instead of zone, or is was...

Drew Lock, Charbs, JD and the Defense Lead the Way
Sea Hawkers Podcast
Our Seattle Seahawks beat the Arizona Cardinals 17-3 to improve to 5-4, and we predict this game will be a Rorschach test for how most fans are feeling to this point. Drew Lock played through an elbow injury, sustained a hip/oblique injury and finished 19 of 28 for 175 yards and a touchdown. Best of all there were with no sacks and no turnovers, while Zach Charbonnet ran for 77 yards on 16 carries and Jadarian Price caught four passes for 54. The defense held Arizona to just a field goal with two big stops in the red zone, and the defensive line showed up throughout the game. Does it change...

Seahawks vs Cardinals: Week 9 Game News, Notes, and Top Predictions
Sea Hawkers Podcast
Our Seattle Seahawks need a win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, but the injury report is packed with names we would rather see on the field. Drew Lock is set to start (with a sore elbow) and Quenton Nelson, Leonard Williams, Uchenna Nwosu, Charles Cross and Rashid Shaheed are all out. So who steps up in the middle of the defensive line, and can a reshuffled offensive line get back to something familiar against a weak Cardinals front? We break down what Gardner Minshew and Tyler Allgeier can do to us, and why a 30-point swing in our playoff odds rides on this game. Then come our picks,...

What If?... The Seahawks Play Their Cards Right
Sea Hawkers Podcast
Our Seattle Seahawks are 4-4 heading into a home game with the Arizona Cardinals, and Drew Lock will be our starting quarterback . . . again. A lot has changed since the first meeting, with Gardner Minshew now running Arizona's offense and Tyler Allgeier carrying the load in their backfield. Will a healthy Zach Charbonnet and Jadarian Price finally get our run game going behind a reshuffled offensive line (that shuffled back after we recorded)? We look at what to expect from Trey McBride and Jaxon Smith-Njigba the second time around, and how Brian Fleury might draw things up for Drew. A round...

512: Busted Ribs and Backup QBs . . . Bring on the Cardinals!
Sea Hawkers Podcast
Our Seattle Seahawks are 4-4 heading into a home game with the Arizona Cardinals, and the fan base is still having a collective freak out. Sam Darnold is dealing with a cracked rib and a bad quad, which puts Drew Lock in line to start. The new offensive line with Quenton Nelson looked so rough in its first outing, but hopefully with another week of prep they'll be able to protect Drew. Is it time to fire offensive coordinator Brian Fleury, or are there simply too many moving parts to know who is to blame? We debate a soft benching for Sam, whether Seattle's Super Bowl window has really closed,...

Sam Darnold is OUT, Drew Lock is UP! Brian Fleury, the Run Game and the Offensive Line
Sea Hawkers Podcast
Normally this would be an episode of 3 IN, 3 OUT, but instead we're pivoting to a live blame game and a packed night of NFC West news. We start with the YouTube poll that put almost all of the blame on offensive coordinator Brian Fleury. What was the most egregious? The second-and-one call in the red zone, the lopsided run-pass split, or the offensive line shuffle to insert Quenton Nelson into the lineup? Is it too soon to give up on Fleury, or would another big change this season be the wrong move? Sam Darnold's injury news opens the door for Drew Lock, and we debate when, or whether, Jalen...

Seahawks Postgame: Brian Fleury, Goldilocks Sam and the Playoff Math
Sea Hawkers Podcast
The Chicago Bears handed the Seattle Seahawks their worst loss of the Mike Macdonald era and left our Seahawks at 4-4 with one week to go before the bye. We start with an offensive line that was reshuffled on a week of prep, as Jeffery Simmons wrecked Grey Zabel at right guard in Quenton Nelson's debut. From there we get into Sam Darnold, who bailed from clean pockets, threw a late interception and overall looked uncomfortable behind his offensive line. Is it too soon to give up on offensive coordinator Brian Fleury, whose pace and red zone calls drew plenty of heat from the chat? We also talk...

Seahawks vs Bears: Week 8 Game News, Notes, and Top Predictions
Sea Hawkers Podcast
With kickoff less than a day away, we go through some of the injury news and rumors we've been hearing leading to the Seahawks game against the Bears. First come the trade rumors, and why would our Seahawks move on Jarran Reed or Jadarian Price in the middle of a Super Bowl run? We also try to decode what Mike Macdonald meant when he said the team would let the transaction speak for itself, and where we stand on a Jonathan Taylor trade. Then it's the injury report: Charles Cross is out, Uchenna Nwosu is doubtful and the absence of Rashid Shaheed could open the door for Tory Horton. We also run...

Seahawks Week 8 Preview: EJ Snyder of Bear Era, Plus Nite Wave's Pregame Tailgate Set
Sea Hawkers Podcast
The Seattle Seahawks are set to play on Monday Night Football, and their opponent just made a blockbuster trade of their own to counter the acquisition of guard Quenton Nelson. Bears fan and Bootleg Football/Bear Era co-host EJ Snyder explains why Caleb Williams looks like a different quarterback in Year 2 of Ben Johnson's offense, and why that should worry our Seahawks. Will Kyle Monangai play, and will Johnson ever stray from the run when it gets tough? EJ also breaks down what Simmons brings to Chicago, why Jaxon Smith-Njigba against the Bears' struggling outside corners is a nightmare for...
info_outlineFor the third consecutive year, the Seahawks have at least one playoff win. With a second-straight NFC Championship game at home, Seattle is in a great position to make the Super Bowl in back-to-back seasons following a 31-17 win over the Carolina Panthers.
Warning to listeners this week: the show goes a little bit off track toward the start with more focus on the Dez Bryant catch, and we do our best to tie it in with the Earl Thomas near-interception. Both were called a catch on the field only to have the play overturned when it went to the replay booth. Is there a way to change the rules so each play could be considered a catch? Would a new rule differentiate between the two? Is one play more deserving of being ruled a catch over the other?
The guys break down the matchup with the Packers and where some critical matchups tend to favor the Seahawks. Adam and Brandan talk about the mobility of Aaron Rodgers being a huge concern in this game and how Mr. Miyagi traveling with the team could be a concern.
Todd Mossburg, a 20-year veteran producer, and current producer of NFL AM on NFL Network joins the show this week. Todd drops some amazing knowledge at the end of his interview that you won’t want to miss. Of course we’re all curious to know if the Fail Mary play will get played on an endless loop in previewing this next matchup, but Todd says the network will go in a different direction on NFL AM.
