    Comments on Condotta's 53-man roster

    Bob Condotta just posted his predictions for the Seahawks 53-man roster. It is probably a week or two too early, with battles still raging for some of the last spots in each group. Condotta really doesn't know much about football, but I appreciate that he is at trying his hand at analysis...

    One quiet competition

    The way he has looked, I would be completely shocked if Small doesn't make the 53-man roster. The only question in my mind is how long until he starts. If Pete Carroll is serious about competition and anyone being able to win a starting job, Small has, in the two pre-season games so far...

    NET Q&A - Edgar Hansen of Deadliest Catch

    When is the Deadliest Catch group going to raise the 12th Man Flag? Deadliest Catch has done as much as anyone to promote the Seahawks. .

    Cassius Marsh injured in Seahawks Weds Practice

    http://blog.thenewstribune.com/seahawks/2014/08/13/impressive-rookie-de-cassius-marsh-leaves-seahawks-practice-will-have-mri-on-knee/ Let's hope for the best. Like Paul Richardson, Justin Britt, Kiero Small and others in this truly phenomenal rookie class, I expected Cassius Marsh to be not...

    FYI: Here's what I posted to the Denver Post

    It is interesting how many Bronco fans are fixated on the Seahawks: lots of hate, revenge, bad-mouthing, etc. When it comes to the Denver Broncos, Seahawk fans and players just don't care -- we really don't. Absolutely no one gets worked up about the Broncos and no one even talks about them...

    Cool article about Dan Quinn

    Dan Quinn is a brilliant coordinator and will be a brilliant head coach. He is a genius at analyzing offenses and formulating defensive schemes. The interception by Richard Sherman towards the end of the Houston game last season was completely devised by Quinn. He saw that the quick, short...

    OL Caylin Hauptmann ..... a camp surprise?

    Hauptmann shouldn't be a surprise to anyone paying attention. He was a great find almost a year ago, although some fans are just discovering him. Cleveland, who had a surprisingly good offensive line last year, tried to stash him on their practice squad, but the Seahawks signed him when Okung...

    Michael Bowie on IR

    I am *super* optimistic about the offensive line. It is probably the best in the Carroll era and has the potential to be great, one of the best in the league. The last two seasons we were saddled with mediocre Breno Giacomini, mediocre Paul McQuistan, developing JR Sweezy and injured...

    Michael Bowie on IR

    Injured players get placed on waivers so they won't count against the 90-man roster. If Bowie clears waivers, which he probably will, he will be put on IR and get another chance next year. Too bad he hurt his shoulder just minutes into the first practice, where he was so out of shape he...

    Is Terrell Thomas headed to the Seahawks?

    This is painful. I know who Pinkins and Simons are. I am definitely talking about Simon. Pinkins, a sixth round pick, got burned once, diring rookie camp and never played corner again, Simon was burned at least twice. But even that is irrelevant because it was preseason. The real evaluation...

    Is Terrell Thomas headed to the Seahawks?

    I think that this is a significant signing, much more than just kicking the tires. Terrell Thomas is not a practice squad scrub. He has been a good NFL starter for a solid, well coached team. If he's healthy I think Thomas will be our fourth cornerback, behind Richard Sherman, Byron Maxwell...

    Bruce Irvin time table for training camp not set.

    Chandler Jones, chosen by New England at #25, is going to be a star and would have been a much better pick, but that's hindsight (even though I was advocating for Chandler Jones at the time.) You are generally right that there wasn't a lot to choose from. Irvin is not nearly as good as I would...

    Could the 2014 Seahawks actually be better than 2013?

    The draft was amazing, maybe the second best in Seahawk history (behind 2012). Getting Kevin Williams was fantastic. The off-season was incredible. Russell Wilson and the rest of the team improved exponentially. The talent and depth at every position is unbelievable. The early bye-week is a...

    WT3 personal video about 48

    He's the best dresser this town has ever seen. He will be ar home in NY, following in the steps of Broadway Joe and Cool Clyde Frazier.

    FBO rushing by # of backs

    This is a potentially significant finding. The differences in y/a and dvoa are so large that it *seemingly* implies that the Hawks should substantially decrease their use of a fullback, but before jumping to such a conclusion, deeper analysis should be done. For example, I wonder how much is...

    Which WRs Do We Keep?

    Lockette did not have *any* clutch, key plays in the playoff run and Super Bowl. Lockette had *one* catch (in two targets) during that period...an easy, extremely catchable 19-yard pass that Wilson put right on the numbers towards the end of the 3rd quarter of the Super Bowl. It was on 2nd down...

    Practice squad ?

    I agree that the practice squad is mostly for practice, especially since it has become so difficult for the Seahawks to get any players they can develop past waivers, but they also put a lot of importance on potential, on players who could possibly help them in the future. Here's an excerpt...

    3 Hawks nominated for ESPYs

    Isn't this the one where both the 49er and Seahawk fans were using computers to submit votes last year and the counts were sky-rocketing at ridiculous rates? I wonder if ESPN fixed it to prevent vote rigging this year?

    Does Steve Shilling become our new left guard??

    Please people, do not take Pro Football Focus grades seriously. Their grading is a black box. We know nothing of their criteria or methodology. We don't know the identities, backgrounds, or abilities of their graders, but from all investigations and analysis of their grading, we suspect their...

    Great story on Seattle's DLine rotation compared NFCW

    Last year had a special set of circumstances where they had injuries and also brought in players who they thought were specialists. Michael Bennet turned out to be more versatile than they thought and his shoulder turned out to be less injured than they thought (I hope), so he will play a lot...
