I know a lot of people don't care but the hate against the Seahawks from the league really sucks.
On their official site a picture with the "early preditcions for 2024 DROY".
6 Players no Byron Murphy.
Byron also commented on the whole thing and I hope he takes this as a further motivational injection

You've just got to give up on the idea of Seattle ever garnering a fair amount of national attention unless we force it down their throats, as we did in prime LOB time. I know, I know...even I lose my cool about this from time to time.

You can't tell me the NFL thinks Arnold or Robinson has a higher chance to win DRotY than Murphy.

 

[onanygivensunday]

Nationally, we're looked on as a "has been" team, similar to the Donkeys and the Aints.

I wouldn't call it hate... but rather, indifference.

When we start competing with the Whiners and the Lambs again, then we'll start getting the national respect we deserve.

I like a guy that feels dissed and plays with a chip on his shoulder.

Playing the percentages. Only eight DT have won in the fifty-six years of the award.

My wife gets compliments on her hair, but I do not. WHOA, is that a load of evil hatred upon me, or what??

 

[OneLofaTatupu]

It’s all a drama spectacle with zero inherent meaning. Just like mean girls, politics, Hollywood, and sexy geese.

 

[Hawkinaz]

I do understand the regional disrespect I think in this situation it is more a positional issue a DB or Edge has an easier time standing out. My early prediction is Quinyon Mitchell

I did a search on "early predictions for 2023 NFL DROY" to see what the buzz was last year. Jalen Carter, Mazi Smith, and Calijah Kancey, were all mentioned as DT candidates for DROY in various articles.

This year, the number of defensive 1st round picks was artificially suppressed, making the pool of candidates even smaller. Murphy not making the top six is just stupid IMO. Hopefully it puts a chip on his shoulder. A big one.

So what's new? And more importantly, what difference does it make?

 

[TheLegendOfBoom]

Make sure Murphy sees this so it can add more fuel to his fire!!!

Well, let's be honest, Byron Murphy could register 12 sacks, 78 tackles, 11 TFL, 2 FF and a recovered fumble, and the East coast media would still find a way to ignore him for DROY. It's just the way it is. The only way to keep them from grinning about their blatant bias is to kick their team's teeth in on the field.

Faceless social accounts with opinions...

I'm still irked that east coast sportswriters gamed their ranked voting to make sure KWIII didn't win OROY.

DTs rarely win because it's more difficult than other positions to post tangible stats. I wouldn't pick him either. Most of the DTs who have won put up big sack numbers. If Murphy racks up sacks, he'll be in the mix, and if he doesn't win it won't be because of a bias against a middling team.

Right now, Murphy has the sixth-best odds, ranging from 12-1 to 15-1. Ahead of him is four DEs and a CB.

Oh he's seen it...

This is how things get started, it can become infectious, I have a feeling the Seahawks and players will see more of this type of omittance and discounting of the team due to first time Coaches and losing a media favored coach.

The only way we get noticed is slap the NFL world in the face again.

Thread title is wrong actually, it's not hate, we seen being hated and it was due to being so damn good they changed the rules to level the playing field and try to take away the teeth of our defensive scheme.

Pete never was able to adjust, we have been somewhat an afterthought since that team broke up.
