Sea Hawkers Podcast
The Seahawks claimed a nail-biting 18-16 win over the Indianapolis Colts, thanks to a game-winning drive from Sam Darnold in the fourth quarter. Philip Rivers clearly couldn't push the ball down field, and the Seahawks defense was able to limit Jonathan Taylor, yet Indy nearly found a way to win late in the game. Ultimately special teams was in the spotlight with Jason Myers making six field goals to secure the win. Mike Macdonald's coaching decisions on the defensive side of the ball sparked some debate. Did his clock management and conservative play calling override the need to be more...

The Seahawks face an unexpected challenge heading into this week's matchup with the Indianapolis Colts. The surprise return of Philip Rivers caught all of us off guard and now it seems to make sense that they'll immediately inject him into the lineup. We take a look at how this veteran quarterback's return could impact the game. But does it change who the primary focus should be on this Colts offense? Looking back at the win over the Falcons, there was one area that was shocking to see when it came to how the team operated against Atlanta's defense. In the second half of the show, we talk...

The Seattle Seahawks kept the opposing offense out of the end zone for the second straight week. To celebrate, we're keying in on three plays by the Seattle defensive backs who helped to make it happen. From Josh Jobe protecting the sideline on an early third down to Nick Emmanwori navigating traffic for a TFL, we take a look back at the 37-9 victory. On the negative side, there were some issues with blocking. Charles Cross was nearly responsible for a safety, and a Robbie Ouzts hold contributed to a 3-and-out in the second quarter. Stay tuned to find out who Captain Destroy-O is and why he...

The Seahawks dominated the Atlanta Falcons in a decisive 37-9 victory, although it came after a sluggish start to the game. A big play by Rashid Shaheed to kick off the second half helped give the team the spark they needed for the second half. Defense and special teams shined throughout the game with a field goal block by Nick Emmanwori that he coupled with his sack and 1st career interception. We talk about the adjustments in the second half that led to offensive success, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba to reach nearly 100 yards in a two touchdown performance. Join our - free prizes for weekly...

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?

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...
info_outlineIt's the inaugural episode of PNW Prop Stars! While nobody likes to bet on their favorite team to lose, there are some bets that can make sense based on how well you know the team you watch the most. In this episode, Clinton, Adam and Wilson discuss whether it's worth taking a shot on Pete Carroll as a longshot coach of the year candidate. Should you hammer the over on Rashaad Penny's rushing yard considering his history with injuries?
Once the regular season hits, there will be prop bets to discuss for the upcoming game. Against the Steelers though, the spread or the money line are about the extent of the options for Saturday. Wilson already is making a case for one scenario where you may want to bet against your own team. Is that okay as long as it's just the preseason? There may be some disagreement there, but everyone has a strong case for who to bet on as the Week 1 starter.
