Seahawks vs Chargers: News, Injuries, Notes and Best Bets
Sea Hawkers Podcast
A 2-1 Seattle Seahawks team welcomes in a reeling, 0-3 opponent in the Los Angeles Chargers, and the pregame news-and-notes breakdown digs into an injury question for the Seahawks' top running back. The health picture then flips to the visitors, who are banged up at receiver, tight end, and in the secondary heading into the trip up the coast. The back half breaks out a full card of betting picks, built around a run-pass balance debate, a banged-up pass-catcher prop, a receiver-usage tension between two targets, and a long-shot touchdown-scorer parlay.

508: Run Game Woes, JSN Making History, and a Chargers Preview
Sea Hawkers Podcast
The Seahawks are 2-1 heading into Week 4, and coming off the loss head coach Mike Macdonald walked into the building this week and said "you can feel the resolve." JSN is chasing Calvin Johnson's all-time receiving record, Brian Fluery is trying to find his way in the red zone, and Julian Love will hopefully be back in the lineup this week. The preview then shifts to a struggling 0-3 opponent, digging into their beat-up offensive line, an underwhelming receiver room, and a pass rush anchored by two very different players. A wild Sunday around the rest of the league gets covered too, including...

3 IN, 3 OUT: Six Seahawks Conversations That Actually Matter
Sea Hawkers Podcast
The Seahawks dropped a very tough loss to the home Commanders and the blame going round and round like a carousel. We work through every big conversation swirling around the Seahawks after the loss. Topics range from Jadarian Price's snap share and the special-teams kickoff-coverage issues, to a debate over Tory Horton versus Rashid Shaheed's roles. We also get into what appeared to be a stubborn tendency to run right, a red-zone play-calling gripe that's been building for weeks, and what's driving the Sam Darnold versus Drew Lock conversation. We also dig into the defense allowing a thousand...

Commanders Outsmart Seattle: Seahawks Postgame Reaction
Sea Hawkers Podcast
It was a tough one to swallow. The Seahawks drop their first game since dropping their first game to the Rams last season, falling 33-31 on the road to the Washington Commanders. We break it all down live from the offensive line struggles, a costly Jadarian Price fumble, and a heated debate over the fourth-down decision that still has us going back and forth by the end of the show. Sam Darnold's two interceptions get a full breakdown, along with some pointed criticism of Seattle's own defensive play-calling for going too conservative. We also go over a couple calls that we think helped to...

507: 12 Straight Seahawks Wins, Washington's Injury Woes, and a Cold War Averted
Sea Hawkers Podcast
A dominant win over the Cardinals pushed the Seahawks to 2-0 on the year and 12 straight victories dating back to last season. Jaxon Smith-Njigba's 82-yard touchdown headlines the offensive breakdown, but it's the offensive line's complete performance up front that gets the real credit, right alongside a competition brewing at right guard. Looking ahead to this weekend, we run through Washington's growing injury list and wonder if the Seahawks will avoid the strength of this Commanders defense to start the game on Sunday. We remind everyone what Sam Darnold did against the Commanders. But will...

What If?... The Seahawks Bring the BTA to Washington
Sea Hawkers Podcast
The Seahawks are 2-0 and headed east to face a Washington Commanders team without an injured Jayden Daniels. If Sam Darnold needs another week, it's shaping up to be a battle of backup quarterbacks with Marcus Mariota under center. We work through six themed "What If" categories, from the Commanders' backfield mix of Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Rachaad White to how much trouble Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs can cause through the air. We dig into the matchups, map out what a complete performance from our own defense would look like, and put a plan on the board for taking away Washington's...

3 IN, 3 OUT: Six Seahawks Players Who Embarrassed the Cardinals
Sea Hawkers Podcast
A blowout win over the Cardinals left plenty of tape worth pulling, so we went live with six "INs" and three "OUTs" from the game. Up front, the offensive line put together a great game, clearing the way for Jaxon Smith-Njigba's three touchdown game. On defense, the day was so complete that picking a single MVC wasn't easy, with Leonard Williams, Byron Murphy, and Uchenna Nwosu all building cases for the award. From the Flock closes the show, running through the community's own INs and OUTs from a weekend spent watching the Cardinals get run out of their own building. Join our - free prizes...

The Seattle Seahawks dominated the second half to pick up a 31-7 win over the Arizona Cardinals. We break down Jaxon Smith-Njigba's three-touchdown day, Drew Lock's efficient outing running the offense, and a defense that turned the game into a rout in the second half.

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.
