350: Mallet Finger Drama
Sea Hawkers Podcast
The Seahawks organization and fans have entered uncharted territory in the Russell Wilson era. For the first time, it appears as though we'll be watching another quarterback start under center since 2012. What does that mean for the team? Drama. It's likely to create a ton of drama unless certain conditions are met over the course of the next few games. We talk about what those conditions are, and why seeing Geno Smith play well over the next few games could have a big impact on the franchise moving forward. How about Geno though? He comes in and moves the team down the field on a...

349: This is why Niners fans HATE Russell Carrington Wilson
Sea Hawkers Podcast
Another win against the San Francisco 49ers and another demonstration of why Niners fans hate Russell Wilson. In his 100th regular season win of his career, we got to watch another highlight moment from Russ. Plus it came after the 49ers defense was dominating the Seattle offense through most of the first half. It wasn't a perfect game, but with the vintage Wilson, a big hit from Bellore, and some solid runs from Alex Collins - it gives the Seahawks a nice win heading into another rivalry game against the catfish-ing Rams. Los Angeles is coming off of a loss to the undefeated Arizona Cardinals...

348: It's not your fault . . . it's not your fault (for this Seahawks loss)
Sea Hawkers Podcast
Any time there are two losses in a row, it brings out a lot of questions about who is to blame. Especially on our show where we try and look at ourselves first to see what we may be doing wrong in our own lives on gameday. But there is particular area to direct the blame this week. We take a look back at the Vikings game, discuss the signing of Richard Sherman with Tampa and speculate on what might happen if the season continues in this direction. Fortunately, the 49ers are next up for the Seahawks and they're facing a quarterback they don't have to be as concerned about when it comes to...

347: The inches the Seahawks needed were everywhere around them
Sea Hawkers Podcast
In the movie Any Given Sunday, Al Pacino's character talks to the team about how there are inches everywhere in the game of football. In Sunday's game against the Titans, there were several moments that had they gone an inch in the other direction, it could have made a different in the outcome. But there were also things within their control that players on the team struggled to keep in control and it led to some penalties that also cost the team some of those valuable inches. In this show, we look at all of the different areas that deserve some blame. Whether it's coaching, how certain...

345: Holy catfish! This offense is explosive!
Sea Hawkers Podcast
In the first game of the regular season, the Seahawks new offensive coordinator Shane Waldron removed any concerns about his ability to call plays and showed that he call plays around the coverages that the team struggled with at the end of last season. One passing play led Steve Raible to call out the title of this week's episode. Though that may have been the area we had the biggest questions, it was the Seahawks defense that may have had a more impressive performance overall. At the very least it surpassed expectations heading into Week 1. Watching the rival Arizona Cardinals take on the...

344: ESPN simulations and Pete Prisco underestimate the Seahawks heading into Week 1
Sea Hawkers Podcast
The first game of the 2021 NFL season kicks off for the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts. They face off against quarterback Carson Wentz (who the Seahawks have a perfect record against). Since 2014, opponents have a perfect record against the Colts in their Week 1 game. Plus the Seahawks have been nearly perfect when playing in the 10am PT time slot in recent years. Can all those things add up to a win for Seattle? Of course there are actual matchups to talk about and Jonathan Taylor may be the most challenging one. Poona Ford, Al Woods, Bobby Wagner and Jordyn Brooks...

343: The Seahawks cut down to their initial 53-man roster
Sea Hawkers Podcast
We 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...

342: Seattle Seahawks 2021 Season Expectations
Sea Hawkers Podcast
Through the first two games of the 2021 preseason, the Seattle Seahawks haven't done much to impress fans. They've lost in back to back games and most recently a 30-3 loss to the Denver Broncos. As we fight through the sleepless nights telling ourselves that preseason doesn't matter with the reminder that we haven't seen starters playing, what are some of the things we've learned from these first two games? Does it give us any clue to how the season might play out? In our annual season expectations show, we take what we've learned through the first two games and flash back to the end of last...

341: Jamal Adams signs 4-year extension, 'Know' the Cardinals
Sea Hawkers Podcast
After trading two first round picks for Jamal Adams last year, the Seahawks have now signed the star safety to a record-setting contract that is set to keep him with the team through 2025. Seattle also frees up nearly $5 million in cap space by making the deal and hopefully it offers them flexibility to pay a couple other veteran players who would like to stay with the team beyond this season. We talk about how news from earlier in the week was an indication that both sides were ready to close the deal. Seahawks backup players saw their first preseason action in Las Vegas on Saturday. Geno...
info_outlineThe Seahawks may have lost to the 49ers this week, but with the Seahawks so far out in front in the NFC it's tough to take a two-point, 19-17 loss very hard. Adam and Brandan talk about the plays and penalties that had a big impact on this game. As difficult as it is to do, they even give credit (ugh) to the opposition.
Looking past this game how is the playoff picture impacted and what do the Seahawks need to do from here on out to hold onto the top seed in the NFC.
Dave Wyman, former Seattle Seahawks linebacker and co-host of the Wyman, Mike and Moore show on 710 ESPN Seattle, comes on the show to talk about if there is such a thing as a good loss and what to expect with the matchup with the Giants.
It's a big week for emails and reviews on iTunes, so the guys read those and even offer solutions to some family issues overseas arising from Seahawks-related conflicts. Finally, Adam talks about why he'll never buy a certain brand of headphones, Brandan breaks down how to handle any 49ers fans you may happen to be friends with, and as always the show ends with picks of those who are Better at Life than Skip Bayless.
