    Hawks-WORST NFL team in the last 18 years-Time Of Possession

    Resign Penny and Sign a pair of pass rushers and you get better on 3rd Down on both sides of the ball. I think the TOP problem is entirely fixable.

    Russell Wilson: Report says he wants to explore options with

    There’s Russ wanting out, and Russ getting out. If it’s all about legacy, then a true hold out wastes a year of his prime. If it’s all about where he lands, then the team has to be willing to pay the draft capital. Team isn’t moving on from Pete. It’s not downplaying. It’s just looking at the...

    Russell Wilson: Report says he wants to explore options with

    Not to say there isn’t tension here. But I’ve watched this movie before. Getting Jody Allen (who seems committed to status quo) to buy in, Pete Carroll to buy in (at 71), Wilson to sign off and waive his no trade clause, and a team willing to pay Schneider’s price is extremely unlikely. And you...

    Brian Flores - DC

    Maybe comparing to DeFilippo/Brady was harsh. I don’t think he’s a bad coach by any means. But there is always a media darling coach in the offseason that gets hyped. And fans don’t consider if his system fits the personnel of the team, if he even wants the demotion to DC, if his personality...

    Brian Flores - DC

    The fervor among Seahawks Twitter about Flores reminds me so much of the fervor around John DeFillipo in 2017 and Joe Brady in 2019. Not to say Flores isn’t a good coach and his players seem blind sided. But he’s getting a lot of hype for a guy that finished sub .500 in three seasons with the...

    Do you REALLY want him gone?

    No one wants to part with a franchise QB. But I don't think Russell Wilson has another SB season in Seattle. Not even if you took every offensive weapon from the Chiefs and Eric Bieniemy. And it's because I recognize that Russell Wilson is not Patrick Mahomes. He's also not Manning or Brees or...

    Defense is legit

    This defense would look a lot better if they weren't on the field 2-3x longer than the offense week in, and week out. Time of Possession This Season: Wk1: Sea 24:13 - Ind 35:47 Wk2: Sea 22:42 - Ten 44:33 Wk3: Sea 24:07 - Min 35:53 Wk4: Sea 28:19 - SF 31:41 Wk5: Sea 26:57 - LA 33:03 Wk6: Sea...

    Matty Brown on Russ

    He writes for Seahawks Maven. Highly recommend if you want to understand the schemes Seattle is running, particularly on Defense. He’s far and away the best Seahawks follow IMO.

    To all of the "Pete Ball" defenders

    I think people need to take a chill pill on the offense. The strength of Atlanta is their DL, Carson hadn’t practiced much in training camp, and many throws Russell took were short yardage throws that work in place of the run. Game script, match up, player health, and success created the perfect...

    Expectations for the Seahawks this Season?

    Better DVOA, worse record. Teams that have major record disparity in 1 score games tend to regress the next year (see 2018-2019 Chargers as an example). Seattle enjoyed some incredible luck in 2019 but got completely exposed for having a paper thin roster at playoffs. This team is deeper than...

    *Rumor* Seahawks almost traded Wilson to Browns in '18

    Would’ve believed it more if this was 2017 and Seattle was taking Mahomes (who they were linked to shortly after the draft).

    Proof we drafted for need not BPA

    I don’t believe that is comment on need. Rather, I believe he felt that the board would fall in a way that they would have a chance to get their BPA. In the same interview, JS talked about taking Taylor there, which in my mind, would’ve been the need pick.

    Talk to me about Anthony Gordon / seahawks qb2.

    If he fixes his feet, which is a big if, he could fetch us a high pick in a trade. Love how quick he processes the game and the throws he can make. I also worry about whether or not he will survive the roster churn. Alex McGough was an interesting prospect that Seattle couldn’t hold on to...

    Predictions for round 4

    Cephus would make me very happy. Also wouldn’t mind taking Saahdiq Charles/Strowbridge/Prince/Kindley/Anae/Fotu/Robinson

    Seahawks now at 48

    I get why Seattle would fall in love with Taylor. I did a deep dive on him weeks ago that I never posted but this is a major projection. Taylor flashes every trait you want in an EDGE rusher. Speed, power and bend. But the catch is, he never does these things all at once. It never comes...

    Who do we pick in the 2nd round?

    If Seattle is not drafting for need, and legitimately going BPA, would love to get Chinn today. If not, Madubuike/Davidson/Okwara/Charles/Dillon/Shenault would be awesome. Prediction? No idea.

    Some Thoughts on the Pick

    Being a Seahawks fan is frustrating sometimes... Sometimes all the time... and it's all the time frustrating in the first round. In general, I try to understand the process behind decisions. In Project Management, so long as the good process behind a decision, I'm pretty forgiving of mistakes...

    Any Players You’re Afraid Will Be A Seahawk?

    With you on Jackson and Swift Attyla. Jackson would feel like a Collier pick on the OL to me. With the others, is it more where they are drafted or more the player? I don’t like Higgins in a vacuum, but I feel like he fits the time of WR Russell works well with. A guy that can go up an win one...

    Any Players You’re Afraid Will Be A Seahawk?

    I was comparing them as talents, not as characters. I think McDowell was a significantly better prospect than Davis. He’s fine, but I think other DTs are more exciting, higher upside picks. Would rather have Davidson, Blacklock, or Madubuike. Even Strowbridge/Fotu a round or two later would be...
