Release Date: 09/03/2021
Sea Hawkers Podcast
As we look ahead to the Seahawks upcoming game against the Atlanta Falcons, we discuss what it will take to secure that crucial 10-3 record. The Falcons are struggling in key areas like pass pro and run defense, so what can the Seahawks do to make sure those struggles continue? With the Falcons leaning heavily into their running game, that may be an area where our Seahawks can exploit them. Later in the episode, we rank which aspects of each team stand the most chance of getting hot and why our defensive and offensive lines are poised to shine. Plus, our flockers chime in with their game...

Did the Minnesota Vikings find a way to solve the NFL's Jaxon Smith-Njigba problem? Or were there a combination of factors that simply kept the ball from going JSN's way. We talk about some of the strategies Minnesota used -- from pressuring Sam to their use of linebacker and safety to send some extra attention toward the NFL's leading receiver. Ernest Jones earned NFL honors for his game on Saturday, but DeMarcus Lawrence should have been in consideration for two of the biggest plays of the game. The Atlanta Falcons are on deck for Seattle and may be the last "easy" game on the schedule. But...

We've promised for years that when the Seahawks get a shutout, we're focusing only on the INs and passing up the OUTs. While this game certainly had its negatives, we fulfill a promise with Seattle's first shutout since 2015. Standout moments from Drake Thomas are among the highlights as he continues to shine on defense. Kenneth Walker III takes a soul and gets some highlight-worthy blocking. The team chemistry and defensive prowess were on full display, making this shutout win a significant one. Finally, we take a look at DeMarcus Lawrence's relentless hustle led to two incredible plays,...

Max Brosmer never stood a chance. The Seattle Seahawks dominated in a 26-0 shutout victory over the Minnesota Vikings. We dive into the incredible defensive performance, highlighting standout plays from DeMarcus Lawrence, Ernest Jones, and a defensive line that overwhelmed Minnesota's offense. Offensively, the Seahawks did enough to complement the defense, with Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet grinding out yards against an aggressive Vikings front. While not impressive, Sam Darnold put together the kind of performance we wished we could have seen against the Rams a couple weeks ago. The...

The Seahawks kick off against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. We take a look at the latest news as Quandre Diggs is called up from the practice squad along with Velus Jones and Myles Gaskin. Our poll question this week centers around how many sacks the defense could get against the Vikings rookie quarterback. Majority of fans took the 5+ route, and we discuss why 3-4 is the more likely option to see. Stick around for the top bets of the week as Clinton and Adam strategize around who could see an increase in targets if the Vikings continue to go heavy on the blitz on defense. ...

With the playoffs in sight, the Seattle Seahawks look to continue their streak of only losing one game per month if they can finish strong against the Minnesota Vikings. The return of Quandre Diggs brings a familiar spark to the defense, while we wait to see if Ty Okada will be back in the lineup on Sunday. Minnesota is rolling out an undrafted rookie quarterback with J.J. McCarthy in concussion protocol. Will they continue to stick to a pass-heavy game plan that hasn’t delivered for them this season? The run game—or lack thereof—stands out as a key factor, and Seattle’s ability to put...

Can the Seahawks save a little room to feast on a young Vikings QB? We may have to wait to see which one, as J.J. McCarthy is in concussion protocol and we could end up seeing Max Brosmer under center. We work through a Thanksgiving-themed game, drawing parallels between the top dishes and pressing football questions related to our Seahawks. Will the Hawks overcome some frustrations we've discussed on offense? What are their chances against a struggling Vikings team? We close the show with our game predictions and a roundup of wishes from the Flock. Join our - free prizes for weekly winners....

The Seahawks coasted to victory over the Tennessee Titans in Nashville, getting the 30-24 win off another standout performance by Jaxon Smith-Njigba. With six games remaining in the season, JSN has already set a franchise record with 1,313 receiving yards. His two touchdowns helped keep Seattle out ahead of the Titans and in control of the game all afternoon. Ken Walker provided another significant contribution with more than 100 yards of offense and some explosive plays in both the passing and run game. The defense tallied four sacks as Cam Ward was under significant pressure and they managed...

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,...
info_outlineWe are celebrating the official end of the offseason! Next week we'll be previewing the first Seahawks game of the 2021 season when they take on the Colts. However, this week, we are running down the Seahawks roster after Pete Carroll and John Schneider made their cuts down to 53. There were some interesting choices on offense as Seattle kept three quarterbacks, but only decided to hold onto four wide receivers. We also look at the practice squad and that's where so many of the receivers ended up.
On defense, there is a lot of optimism around the defensive line, but the team could still use some veteran help on the interior. The Seahawks recognize that they still need help at cornerback because they continued to add to the group this week after the cuts. Sidney Jones was brought it to compete at corner. Could he end up taking over for Tre Flowers who earned his starting spot to kick off the season?
In the second half of the show, we talk about the 49ers quarterback situation and contrast it with what's going on in New England. We also follow up on a conversation from the previous show and learn from a listener how Abe Lincoln used to like to pick fights. If you're outside the Seattle area and struggle to find ways to watch the games, several listeners chime in with their different strategies for watching the Seahawks. Do better call outs go to Adam's neighbor for rejecting his fantasy football advice and to Scott Zolak for wanting Cam Newton to essentially get off his lawn. Better at life honors go to the suckers who bought Adam's old vehicle and to Blitz for helping to raise money for shoes for kids.
