    Thursday rooting interest

    Agreed. When I look at the guys who are seeing the field, I would not guess they'd be 4-1.

    Is Bobo Our Next Largent?

    Yeah, I suppose. You're right about the guile, for sure. I thought of Engram, but he didn't have the hands or body control that Largent and ADB had. I just went back and re-watched some Largent highlights just in case my memory was off, but I don't think it was. When you see Largent lay out for...

    July poll - wins in 2025 season

    It's really hard to say because last year won't be a great preview for this year. I just have no idea how the offense will look. Negative take: It takes the full season for the wide zone to click. The very green OL can't open running lanes, and with the running game not doing much the game is...

    Everyone KNEW he was going to be good, and he WAS

    Yeah, Big Walt for me. But that's too easy. The late round pick I felt good about that turned out to be was Kam Chancellor. I thought he'd be a starter, but I didn't think he'd turn into The Deathbacker.

    Uniform changes?

    I didn't vote because my vote is "no, but they should change" I'm with the others who think we should go back to the retro unis. If they just adopted this year's throwback as the primary, we'd instantly have the best uni in pro sports. I'm one of the few who prefers the original logo over the...

    Aros' Fearless Prediction Thread (@ Lions)

    Count me in the group that sees injuries determining this game. I think the Lions' strong running game and the Hawks missing so many of their starting front 7 means that they are going to dominate the clock and wear down the defense. On the other side, I don't think the run game gets going with...

    12’s to Blame - McDaniel

    I have no problem with his quote. He admitted that the Phins could "handle the road better... the crowd was rocking. We looked as though it was our first time in a hostile environment." So he starts by crediting the 12th Man (f*** TAMU, we'll always be the 12th Man in my eye), then called out...

    Geno won this game

    It was all about two things for me: pocket poise and accuracy. With no run game and bad guard play (plus Williams being beat a few times, including one really bad sack allowed), Geno was facing a defense that knew the pass was coming and was often collapsing the pocket. His ability to find room...

    PFF lovefest : we are NUMBER 1

    It's better than anywhere else we could be, so that's good. It's also better than anywhere else we would likely be if we hadn't faced such a terrible team, so I'm just going to piss in everyone's Cheerios here and refrain from getting too excited.

    Hot Takes?

    I'm seeing more insightful analysis than hot takes in this thread. In the interest of hot takes, here is one: This game says more about Denver than Seattle and we should hold off on getting too excited until after we play a team that won't be picking in the top 5 next year.

    The Athletic's Dugar Projects 8.2 Wins

    With the huge unknowns in terms of coaching and scheme, the floor/ceiling gap is larger than in most years. It's just so hard for me to look at this team and feel good about nailing a prediction within a win or two. I guess I wouldn't be shocked at 5-6 wins, but I equally wouldn't be shocked...

    Is Bobo Our Next Largent?

    I haven't seen enough of Bobo to have a great feel for his game, but like others I see more JJ or even Sidney Rice — big guys with body control who rely on their size and positioning to catch contested passes (although I don't remember how good Rice's hands were). Largent's game was about IQ...

    JSN Expected to Breakout

    Physically, yeah, but what makes him elite is his IQ and ability to work zones (even more than his change of direction, IMO). He'll just be open more often and get more YAC working inside, so that's where I'd prefer to see his snaps.

    JSN Expected to Breakout

    Gah! Fixed it. So many years associating that name with NFL coaching that I had a little senior moment there.

    JSN Expected to Breakout

    I can see him being #1 in terms of productivity depending on what Grubb's scheme ends up being and if he's best and using a dynamic slot WR, but even if he's #1 in production I don't think he'll be used much on the outside as a prototypical #1. Even if DK were to be traded/injured/whatever, I'd...

    PFF player rankings give Seahawks no love

    I think Williams is also a bit low, but agree about the others.

    Who’s your Seahawks Mount Rushmore

    TL;DR version: Largent Jones Kam Tez VL;WR (very long; worth-reading) version: I think it's important that the question is the *Mount Rushmore* of Hawks, not the best Hawks. If we're just going for the best Hawks, then the HOFers would be a good choice (and it's the most popular choice here...

    Excited or concerned?

    Neither. The team is installing a brand new offense with new terminology, and there are bound to be wrong routes, QB misreads, missed blocking assignments leading to rushed throws, etc. I know that the defense is also new, but lots of picks happen from offensive mistakes, like throwing to the...

    Why Is Your Tribe The Seahawks?

    I've got the common boring story: born in the Seattle area in 1980 to a family of Hawks fans. It was just part of the air I breathed. Interestingly, like AROS, I was also influenced by cool uniforms and that's why the Vikings were always my second-favorite team. It was easier back then before...
