    Mike MacDonald removes Carroll related Seahawks imprint

    -- I would say slow down Sparky. I have been in favor of the hire, and am hopeful of what he can bring to the table. Now showing up to your introductory presser with a sportcoat over a light hoody is one thing, but don't forget one thing. It is the Seattle Seahawks, not the MacDonalds. We...

    Appears many are bailing

    - I am prone to mocking irrational fans, and how they think they could always do better at GM or coach. Or even funnier are the ones who think they can play. The GM role I am not as dismissive, as I think there have been some awful GMs. Although you can often follow their worst decisions up...

    Retrospect on DT

    - He contributed to two people no longer being alive when he was in college and then lied and tried to hide from it. Then, this is in the last six months, made up for that by threatening to kill an opponent, and his kids. I am sure stuff like that is "said" on the field, heat of the moment and...

    Rumors of more Ravens flocking to Seattle

    - I just don't want to set the bar too high for your expectations. PQ is a really good linebacker but a better tackler when he plays down hill. When he gets to create the contact then he is an excellent tackler, like most. But when he is in space, he is just as likely to miss as most...

    Poll: Leonard Williams trade

    - Funny how so many people like to talk about "go for it", "shoot your shot", "take the risk", until someone does, and it doesn't necessarily work out. We saw the chance to get a very good defensive lineman to a team in desperate need of one. Seeing as how Pete was just fir.... I mean...

    Riq Woolen

    - Coverage wasn't that bad, but his sudden Deion-esque fear of tackling was brutally obvious. It may be a business decision as he has yet to sign a big money contract, but if he plays like that again, he might be out of business, and never see one. Mase

    Who was the most vital member of LOB?

    - Despite the amount of respect I lost for Thomas with the way he acted at the end of his tenure with the Hawks and in the league, I have to say it was very much a symbiotic relationship between the two that made the LOB what it was. Kam could be the fourth linebacker because Thomas could cover...

    Are we tanking or not?

    - We are absolutely not tanking because we cut some expensive veterans. A new coaching staff cannot implement any new game plans if they can't afford any players who fit that new plan. Keeping Geno gives us a serviceable starter for one more year, so if we can draft someone who isn't quite...

    New fantasy football name

    - If we do draft Penix, I think it has to be Penix Envy. Mase

    Jamal

    - Hawkstorian, 99.9% of the time I take this exact approach. Even if a player has generally not lived up to hype, injuries suck and these guys by playing the way we love watching them play, expose themselves to these injuries. I don't even hold the trade against him. Of the Harvin, Graham...

    Throwback Clip: Tez and Mirer eating hotdogs on the sideline

    - Blame Patrick Hunter for getting Rick Mirer instead of Bledsoe. If he doesn't bat down a late pass in Foxboro the year before, we have the first pick. - Best Mirer memory for me involved me Dad. He was a huge Bears fan but went to lots of Hawks games with me, and rooted for them unless...

    Zero experience against MM's Seahawks...

    - If you are going to come to your introductory press conference in a hooded shirt with a suit jacket, then maybe the "Light Hoodie". As one leaves, another arrives. There can only be one. Mase

    Spoon Leaks SB LXIX Script

    - I am always amused at how the anti PC crowd suggest that mantra is about not being aggressive in the first half, or whatever moronic way you want to frame it. It is a reference to not panicking if you get down early, because when you say "you" can't win the game in the first quarter, it also...

    Me3 at it again

    - I want him to sign with the Bears. Only three teams have retired the number 3. They are the Bears, Chiefs and Packers. Pretty sure the Packers and Chiefs are set at QB. Want him to have to embrace a different number. Think of the rebranding he could do. Run 1. (first read covered.)...

    Trade thought

    - I think it is just a massive overreaction to a minor statement. The reason it mattered was money becoming guaranteed "if he was on the roster through this week". So he pointed out that Smith would be on the Seahawks roster "through this week", thus activating the change in structure. It...
