Sea Hawkers Podcast: for Seattle Seahawks fans
Join us from Nashville as we discuss Seahawks news, injuries, and upcoming matchups. We kick things off with a special meetup announcement for local Seahawks fans in Nashville ahead of the game against the Titans. We then dive into some injury updates for Tory Horton, Tyrice Knight, and Ernest Jones, and how these absences could impact the game. With the Titans also dealing with injuries, especially in their wide receiver corps, we discuss the potential lineup changes and what to expect from quarterback Cam Ward. In the second half of the show, we'll shift focus to our Blue Friday bets,...

The Seattle Seahawks latest clash with the Los Angeles Rams left fans reeling after a brutal four-interception performance. What separates good QBs from great ones, and why some fans are losing patience while others still see hope for a turnaround. Expectations, turnovers, and the pressure of big moments all come under the microscope. So what exactly is Darnold's record in "big games" and how does it compare with "big moments"? Is there a difference? We also highlight some big time stats that Jaxon Smith-Njigba is putting up on the offensive side and how Devon Witherspoon has been locking down...

After a narrow loss to the Rams, a mental shift needed to focus on the upcoming game against the Tennessee Titans. Considering the way the season is going for the Titans, the expectation is that we'll have a prime opportunity to see Seattle bounce back. Should Seattle focus on the running game or open up the passing attack this week? Defensively, we get into the reasons why our edge rushers and linebackers can dominate versus the Titans offense. We also discuss how expectations to win against a struggling team will cast a shadow on this matchup. Can they get back to playing at that high level...

In a game of inches, we ended up a few yards short and to the right. In a frustrating loss where Sam Darnold must take most of the blame, there were other moments and aspects, good and bad, that added to this tough loss to our largest rivals, the Rams. There were some good points to focus on, too. Defensive efforts come under the spotlight, notably the exceptional play from Tariq Woolen, a crucial tackle for loss by Boye Mafe, as well as the importance of second-half adjustments. Some surprising stats jumped out as we dug into the box score, too. While it felt like most of the pressure came...

The Seahawks had a masterful performance on defense to keep the game within reach in the final seconds of the game. Ultimately, the loss to the Los Angeles Rams comes down to critical mistakes and costly turnovers by Sam Darnold. However, he did bounce back from his four interceptions to give Jason Meyers a shot even after the offense was pinned at the 1-yard line by the Rams special teams unit. The offense also suffered a major injury in the final moments of the game that is likely going to test the depth of the offensive line and put further stress on Darnold down the stretch. Tune in to our...

With a substitute "protector" this week, we're exploring every angle for our Seahawks to secure victory this Sunday in what people are calling the DVOA Bowl. The LA Rams lead the NFL in DVOA with the Seahawks right behind them. Can Seattle pressure Matt Stafford to tilt the game in favor of the Seahawks? Ernest Jones and Cooper Kupp are captains and have a shot at vengeance, so we share our predictions in how they'll perform. From the offensive line's effectiveness in pass protection to how that can open up the passing game for Sam Darnold and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, we're looking ahead to what...

We're still flying high after another dominant Seahawks victory over the Arizona Cardinals. It's not just the win -- but how they were able to do it. Tyrice Knight, Ty Okada, Nehemiah Pritchett and Drake Thomas weren't guys we were expecting big contributions from at the beginning of the season, and now they're a big reason to be excited about the defense. With the Rams game coming up on Sunday, it will be the biggest test yet for the Seahawks. Ernest Jones and Cooper Kupp get to face off against their former team, but it may also be a revenge game for Sam Darnold based on how last season went...

The Seahawks dominated the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday on their way to a 44-22 victory. Seattle put up 31 points in the first half, and despite giving the Cardinals multiple short fields off of turnovers -- they were still able to run away with it. Tyrice Knight and DeMarcus Lawrence paired up for a couple of defensive sack fumble touchdowns. Nick Emmanwori and Tariq Woolen paired up for multiple pass breakups. Leo Williams and the rest of the gang had their way with a tepid Cardinals team! The Seahawks move to 7-2 on the season and will spend the week gearing up for a big time matchup...
info_outlineHow frustrating was the loss to the New York Giants? There are still elements of the game that have us scratching our heads. We get into the offensive struggles and the questionable play-calling decisions that are leading us to ask an important question: Is it a Ryan Grubb issue, or is Coach Mike McDonald more involved with the offensive philosophy than we have been thinking? We get into three things Mike said in the last two days that lead us to explore the philosophical approach of the Seahawks' offense and why it might be setting the team up for failure.
On the defensive side, the struggles appear to be more related to execution rather than philosophy. We take a look at the run game issues and linebacker performance, particularly focusing on Jerome Baker's "guesses." Despite the defensive struggles, does the offense bear the brunt of the blame for the latest loss? Special teams also come under scrutiny, especially after a blocked field goal that could have turned the game around.
Looking ahead, we preview the upcoming matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Can the Seahawks' defensive line capitalize on the 49ers' offensive line weaknesses and will the offensive line be able to slow down Nick Bosa and exploit the Niners' secondary? Plus, we're already seeing internal drama within the 49ers' locker room. Are Niners fans right that it is time to move on from their current coach? We suggest at least one recommendation. With a short week ahead, the Thursday night showdown will be another important test for our Seattle Seahawks.
