    Peter King: hawks defense is back

    You may want to look at where Trenton Simpson is currently on the Ravens depth chart before you get too far out over your skis here. Simpson is a project with upside who will struggle to contribute much on the field this year. Jack Campbell was the only LB from this class who looked ready to...

    Offensive points and defensive turn overs and points

    The problem is that you could use similar logic to argue in the opposing direction as well. For example, if touchdowns in 2021 were higher on average then in 2022, then when moving Geno's 2022 numbers to 2021 it wouldn't be unreasonable to adjust the 2022 numbers upwards in order to account for...

    Trade Jamal Adams?

    I mostly agree with your point, but we have had a bunch of good trades when we aren't swinging for the fences. - Deion Branch for a 4th round pick - Darryl Tapp for Chris Clemons and a 4th - 5th for Leon Washington - 7th for Tyler Polumbus - 4th and 5th for Marshawn Lynch - Kelly Jennings for...

    Geno Smith real deal? ...or just a flash?

    Nothing about Geno's 2022 season looked flukey other than he had a bit of good luck with avoided turnovers here and there. However, I can't fault some fans for being a little skeptical after a single season because there's a bunch of guys who have had a good year here or there but lacked...

    Camp news

    You probably heard this already, but there's an asterisk to Bobo's pro day time. It was raining at UCLA, and because it's UCLA they don't have indoor facilities. He's not a burner but he's not as slow as the 4.99 time indicates. So far Eskridge has been the best of backup WRs followed closely...

    YAC. Tired of taking heat over it.

    YAC matters, and I've argued that Lockett is less valuable than catch stats would indicate alone because of it. However, it's just one part of the entire picture and players can be effective in many different ways. Lockett had decent YAC during his rookie contract, also contributed with both...

    RB Room just got destroyed.

    I'm concerned. It's not the end of the world or anything but this kind of stuff matters. Charbonnet is missing valuable camp time, and we've seen a few times now that missing significant chunks of training camp tends to completely derail rookie seasons. Our other RBs don't provide the same...

    Lockett explains Hawks real estate sponsorship.

    In my view any sort of relationship between a team and an active player outside of their football contract should disallowed. Leaving this door open allows teams that aggressively exploit rule weaknesses to gain an advantage. However, it is allowed right now as clearly seen from TB12 and the...

    Training Camp Question for fan

    Parking at the Renton Landing is heavily monitored and restricted to the parking garage next to the theater, or the Boeing lots (B10?) a few blocks south. There's also a few hotels (Hyatt, Hampton, Marriott) next to Coulon Beach park I've stayed at a few times when I've been able to go back to...

    Pathetic team coverage by the Seattle Times

    The NFL off-season has plenty going on up until late June. You have players getting re-signed, tags and extensions, then the combine, then FA and the Draft, then rookie minicamps, mandatory minicamp, and then five sets of OTA workouts through May and June. Right now, we are in the month long...

    Why are we holding on to Bryan Mone?

    Teams can't simply release injured players. They need to be medically cleared first or the team needs to reach an injury settlement with the player. If a team "waives" an injured player then what really happens is that other teams get a chance to claim him, and if nobody does then the player...

    Robert Gallery vs Luke Joeckel

    Joeckel had a 6'6" lanky frame leading to leverage problems at G, similar to both Britt and then later Pocic. He had only played 155 snaps at LG in 2016 before he got hurt, so it was a very small window of data to look at although the numbers were good for that small sample with zero sacks...

    Most liked 'sleeper'/'forgotten' Hawks.

    We could obviously talk about hundreds of players but Edwin Bailey deserves a shout out every now and then. 5th round pick in '81 who ended up playing 11 seasons for us with 120 starts at Left Guard and retiring as a Seahawk legend with the most franchise starts as an OL. Good locker room guy...

    Do you Respect KJ Wright?

    You have it correct. Teams are constantly making adjustments during the game itself. At half-time, however, players have just enough time to run in, use the facilities, grab a drink or a snack, then go back out on the field. Coaches don't hover around lockers trying to talk to players about...

    Is Jonathan Taylor right about Running Backs?

    Part of the issue is that RBs realize their career is short and so they're looking to make a splash with that first free agency contract. RBs could get security if they wanted it by forgoing deals with big numbers on paper in exchange for team friendlier deals with lower cap numbers but more...

    Pete uncertain whether Jamal will be ready week 1

    1% is the difference between the 10th best and 7th best teams, and represents a very large number for any non-QB. Consider how many potential factors influence each game - 50+ players on each side, large coaching staffs, weather, officiating, injuries, and simple randomness. What would you...

    Pete uncertain whether Jamal will be ready week 1

    There's an important distinction between hating Jamal Adams and hating the trade for Jamal Adams. It's possible to root for him to make a full recovery and an impact on the field this season, and also think the trade was fundamentally poor strategy for NFL roster building. The question here is...

    Pete uncertain whether Jamal will be ready week 1

    Direct swap of Bradley McDougald for Jamal Adams. We then picked Coby Bryant with their 2022 4th, and they took Alijah Vera-Tucker and Garrett Wilson with our 2021 and 2022 first round picks (the third round pick was used to move up in 2021).

    Pete uncertain whether Jamal will be ready week 1

    There's too much gambler fallacy in there for me. It's ill advised to trade important draft capital for players who are wanting a big payday. When you take a big gamble it's tempting to blame bad luck when it fails but the reality is that we should have been more patient. Sound roster...

    Hawks play by play announcer is a real woman, cool…

    I have a hard time mustering up much enthusiasm for play by play announcing in televised football. Everything you need to know is on the screen already and the referees have mics. "That pass... downside.. and it is grabbed by Tyreek Hill! How did he get his hands on the ball?" just doesn't...
