Hard Knocks Seahawks Premiere: Live Reaction & Instant Breakdown

Sea Hawkers Podcast

Hard Knocks dropped its Seattle Seahawks premiere and we watched it live so we can all react to it together. We break down the ring ceremony (a little bit buzzed John Schneider is a top moment along with Sam Darnold dropping his ring), and we get to see what Mike Macdonald's "secret sauce is connection" philosophy actually looks like on camera. Nick Emmanwori is already getting the standout-player treatment, so should we be concerned that he may not be ready in time for the start of the season? Plus training camp fights, the Devon Witherspoon contract "Soon-O-Meter," a Sam Darnold reality...

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...

Slump or Jump: Predictions for the Seahawks Sophomore Class (4th Annual)

Sea Hawkers Podcast

Reports on Wednesday suggested that the Seattle Seahawks are gearing up to make Devon Witherspoon the highest paid cornerback in football. After watching Jaxon Smith-Njigba get paid at the top of the receiver market this offseason, this feels like another easy "yes" this offseason. We break down where the corner market actually sits right now and some of the reasons why Spoon is worth every penny of it. But there's a wrinkle. Christian Gonzalez is also looking for a new deal. Who gets paid first? Who gets paid more? Finally, we dig into the NFL's Top 100, and predict where Sam Darnold could...

Witherspoon On Deck To Become NFL's Highest Paid Corner

Arizona Cardinals - Know Your Rival 2026

Sea Hawkers Podcast

The Know Your Rival series rolls on to the team most Seahawks fans admittedly care the least about beating - the Arizona Cardinals. Arizona finished 3-14 last year, lost 14 of their final 15 games, and ran a defense that gave up more than 6,000 yards. So what did the Bidwills actually do about it? They fired Jonathan Gannon (now coaching in Green Bay), handed the keys to first-time head coach Mike LaFleur, spent the #3 overall pick on Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love, and for some unknown reason decided to reach on a third-round quarterback nobody wanted. It's hard not to view their...

San Francisco 49ers - Know Your Rival 2026

Sea Hawkers Podcast

Know Your Rival season kicks off with the team the Seahawks have held without a touchdown in their last two matchups - the San Francisco 49ers. Seattle closed out the regular season with a 13-3 win at Levi's Stadium, blew the doors off them in a 41-6 divisional round rout, and then celebrated a Super Bowl in the Niners' own locker room. So what's left of San Francisco after a season like that? We break down a defense that finished dead last in the NFL in sacks and somehow worse in interceptions, a coaching staff that just lost its DC to the Titans (and lost their OC to us), and a receiver room...

Up, Down or Same: The 2026 Seahawks Offense is Poised to Improve

Sea Hawkers Podcast

The arrows shift to the 2026 Seahawks offense as we grade each position group as trending up, down or sideways from what we watched last season. We start with fullback and debate how much impact the spot really has, but there is some optimism on Robbie Ouzts and whether he can shift to a Juszczyk-style role. Thanks to rare continuity, returning coaches and improving young starters, it's difficult to see the offensive line going anywhere but up this year. Will confidence following a Super Bowl victory help or hurt Sam Darnold when it comes to turning over the football? Lost explosiveness of Ken...

Thanks DangeRuss! A tribute to Russell Wilson

Sea Hawkers Podcast

With Russell Wilson’s recent retirement announced, we want to celebrate his Seattle Seahawks legacy, from the “F” draft grade of his 2012 draft class to the defining moments that made Seattle a Super Bowl champion for the first time. We highlight seven iconic plays: rookie-year scrambles vs. the 49ers and Patriots, the 2017 double-pirouette strike to Doug Baldwin, pinpoint touchdowns to Tyler Lockett, the frigid 2015 playoff vs. Minnesota, and the overtime dagger to Jermaine Kearse in the 2014 NFC Championship. The Hall of Fame argument focuses on how he stacks up against other dual...
