    Waiting is the hardest part .

    Expressing hope? Is that a "Homer" picture?...or a Homer holding a nervous sign of doom? Brave and appreciated.

    Reconstructing our 2013 Front Seven Defense

    Our new front seven continues to offer content with Dre'Mont Jones (best free agent)...Boye Mafe (biggest rookie 2nd year leap)...Bobby Wagner(biggest missing ingredient) and Derick Hall (Star in the making?) In 2013 we had the LOB backing up a stacked front seven with more traditional 4 man...

    Geno Geno Geno..!!

    This might sound a bit crazy...but did Denver agree to "trade their farm" thinking finally we get to punish the team who embarrassed us and our #1 Offense in the 2013 season (winning 43-8)... by "stealing" our own gifted QB RW? Many claimed Russell should have been worth 3 1rst rd picks so we...

    Geno Geno Geno..!!

    Good analysis on the "bet on himself" bit. Our front office doesn't seem to mind enhancing the likelihood of Geno "triggering" performance based bonuses by the offensive additions made. Evan Brown offers center stability/competition to either emerge as the starter or became a valuable C/G "next...

    Mina Kimes ranks Pete Carroll at #10 among coaches

    No need to dispair...our earlier defenses were for a different era of football. We kept our defenses simple with our opponent often saying...Oh look! The Seahawks are in Cover 3...AGAIN! We didn't need to "fool" our opponents...we had athletic "killers on the loose" operating at a high level...

    Why '23 will be better than '22: Offensive weapons

    How about our TE group? ... In this modern NFL the TE traditional role as an in-line blocker for the running game or the "extra" help for the Right Tackle in Pass Pro sets has evolved more into that "sneaky" WR4 type able to light up the seam route. Seattle is blessed with all 3 of our TE...

    Why '23 will be better than '22: Offensive weapons

    I think teams ran the heck out of us last year for several reasons but perhaps the one "simple" reason is because our offense led by Geno was surprising to the point where some respect creeped in and the best way to keep a good offense on the sidelines while eating up time is the running game...

    Geno Geno Geno..!!

    Nice analysis. Geno thrives in a spread offense and has tamped down on his gun slinger arm talent. Our draft additions are even more QB friendly support to make full use of Shane Waldron's imaginative play calling.

    Mina Kimes ranks Pete Carroll at #10 among coaches

    Has PFF become some kind of "go to" sourcing? They are very good as a stat resource and respected for their dedication...but accolades? *crickets* Ken Norton Jr and Clint Hurtt are part of our coaching transition to develop a defense that can address high pass volume with tilted rule...

    Mina Kimes ranks Pete Carroll at #10 among coaches

    No slight on Pete in being "ranked" outside the top 10. Rankings without expressed standards is like trying to hit a moving target...just fun opinions. My own standard for a coach is to consistently put on the field a team willing to play at its best and give me game after game of feeling "tuned...

    Geno Geno Geno..!!

    All hero worshipping aside...an individual accomplishes nothing without a rallied team to lead. Did RW throw TD so high he caught them all himself? Did RW run around eluding all would be tacklers? Were his rushing TD's called in from the sidelines because no options existed...any chance some...

    Geno Geno Geno..!!

    The words "I don't agree" is a common rebuttal for not sharing a posted opinion. I don't agree by the use of such a "blanket" opinion that Geno digressed... as much as the more likely whole team ...suffered through some tough moments. The reality is there are many reasons (some see as excuses)...

    Why '23 will be better than '22: Offensive weapons

    No reason to feel thin skinned...you can actually boast a lot about the increased expectations of our 2023 Defense. Not only did we leave our secondary alone we went and boosted it big time with free agency (Julius Love) and the draft (Spoon)...Spoon still has to "prove it" on the field but one...

    Why '23 will be better than '22: Offensive weapons

    Was this really a question for reaction? Ken Walker III had a very comparable rookie year to the one that introduced Jonathan Taylor to the NFL...and if you like "nerd hype" Walker III was THE most explosive RB in the NFL last year only Justin Fields (a RB hiding in a QB uniform) was a more...

    Why '23 will be better than '22: Offensive weapons

    RB/WR rooms get instant infusion of talent...making Geno's job easier. Last year when Rashaad Penny made an early exit it left a gaping hole for our RB room. Kenneth Walker went from mentored to featured and answered the call in a big way...immediately showing that a balanced running attack/...

    Why '23 will be better than '22: Front 7

    Possible...but more likely the result of difficult communication issues with Jordyn Brooks (in his first year following the release of our experienced signal caller Wags) relaying comms from the sideline from Clint Hurtt calling and sending in plays in his first year as D-Coordinator. looking...

    Hawks Take NFCW - Riddick

    Nice repartee...Drew Brees was no "castoff" or unknown. His arrival in New Orleans was the result of San Diego drafting an excellent QB Eli Manning 2004 #1 overall pick. San Diego then traded during 2004 draft to the NY Giants for Phil Rivers (drafted #4 overall) the Giants 3rd (2004) and...

    Why '23 will be better than '22: Front 7

    With the exception of our edge/olb group our front seven was a self-inflicted churn of cap casualties/identified bad "fits". Our actual front is a hybrid 4-3 Under/3-4 both using 3-4 type personnel. It relies on at least one "big guy" NT type to grab and "hold" the attention of being double...

    Split RB Strategy? Sign me up!

    Your last sentence (...That's one) makes the most sense for explaining your take on not wanting to use 21 personnel as a base formation. Agreed...with a strong lead into the 4th...split backs or the more stable 12 personnel...options for forcing our opponents defense to try to rotate in while we...
