    If Seattle loses all games before BYE

    I can't see the Hawks being so bad that Pete gets fired mid-season. If you fire Pete while 99% of the potential replacements already have jobs, who are are you going to bring in that would make things better? You only do that if the team is completely dysfunctional and that's highly unlikely...

    What defense are the Seahawks actually running?

    I think we need to get away from the whole 4-3 vs 3-4 thing a) because it's no longer a good way to differentiate styles of defense, and b) as has been said, the most common defense even on base downs is nickel. Pete's core principles haven't changed: - Stop the run - Don't give up anything...

    What defense are the Seahawks actually running?

    I had some thoughts, okay? :ROFLMAO: I just think it's more interesting to explore things a bit rather than just making useless blanket statements like "they suck, fire Pete"

    What defense are the Seahawks actually running?

    It makes sense in terms of where they've invested, and also in terms of how pass-happy the league has gotten. Talented young mobile QBs, lots of good WRs, not a ton of good OL coming out, and very few bell-cow running backs that stay with their teams long enough to establish a dominant...

    What defense are the Seahawks actually running?

    In terms of % used I think you're right, although on base (running) downs (first downs, 2nd and short/medium) last year the Hawks I think played a more traditional 3-4 a significant amount. At least in this game two of the "others" were OLBs on 100% of the defensive snaps. On Sunday they...

    What defense are the Seahawks actually running?

    Looking at the snap counts from Pro Football Reference, it appears the Seahawks lined up almost entirely in Nickel. Woolen, Diggs, Love, and Wagner all played 100% of the defensive snaps. Snap Counts by Personnel: 3-4-4 (three interior linemen, two off-ball linebackers): 6 (8%) 2-5-4 (two...

    A Solution at NT (a proposal)

    Absolutely. That’s why I don’t think Poona’s signed yet, he doesn’t provide much against the pass. 7.5 sacks is solid production even for a 3-tech (Dre’Mont Jones has never had more than 6.5 btw), much less a 342 pound monster at NT. I’m sure he could also play 5-Tech in the 4-3 Under as well...

    A Solution at NT (a proposal)

    I haven’t done the whole draft value chart thing to calculate the equivalent draft capital of moving up 20 spots but I wouldn’t expect them to give up two number ones and a pro bowl player. I think the trade comp is pretty close and if it needs adjusting it probably wouldn’t be to the magnitude...

    A Solution at NT (a proposal)

    Hear me out: So Dexter Lawrence, all 342 Pro Bowl pounds of him, apparently is holding out of off-season activities due to wanting a new contract - he’s currently set to play on his 5th year option. The Seahawks currently don’t have a healthy NT/0-Tech, critical for the odd (3-4/Bear) fronts...

    Hawks sign Julian Love (Safety)

    I have some thoughts here. First - some measurables on Love: Height: 5-10 3/4 Weight: 195 Arms: 31 3/4 Hands: 9 40: 4.50 10-yd: 1.59 20-yd: 2.57 SS: 4.10 3-Cone: 6.72 Vert: 36 Broad: 10-1 Bench: 14 He's not built in the mold of a traditional SS. Yes, the Seahawks have gone to more 2-high...

    Seahawks release Al Woods

    Carter is more than capable of playing 0-tech which he did plenty of at Georgia but it would be a bit of a waste of talent bc he'll get better pass-rushing opportunities at 3/4i/5 and that's why you spend a pick on Carter, because he can be a top interior pass rusher while also being a top run...

    Trade one of our TE’s

    Honestly I miss the days when we had George Fant lining up as TE. I am so down with going 3TE and running the ball down other teams throats. I don't think we should get rid of one now unless we can definitely find a good replacement. We need 3 playable TEs minimum, especially with Dissly's...

    Your worst case scenario start to the draft is...

    Worst Case IMO (and quite likely): 1. Carolina - CJ Stroud, QB, Ohio State 2. Houston - Bryce Young, QB, Alabama 3. Arizona - Will Anderson, EDGE, Alabama 4. Indianapolis - Anthony Richardson, QB, Florida That means the top available players for Seattle are: - Jalen Carter, DT, Georgia -...

    Can someone explain how we're making our run defense better??

    Thanks for this - really interesting video. One of the things highlighted was how the coverage scheme generally dictates light boxes due to keeping both safeties deeper, and how YPC is at an all-time high as teams take advantage of this. I think the 3-4 Bear/Tite is one way to cope with that -...

    Can someone explain how we're making our run defense better??

    I think that the team has to commit to a scheme and to me these moves signal that they are doing that. The 3-4 "Bear" / "Tite" seems to work well against the run but maybe not the pass as much (at least so far). From my understanding you need a huge 2-gapping 0-tech (sometimes 1-tech) flanked by...

    Calijah Kancey a reach at #20?

    Whelp the measurements are in and his arms are only 30 5/8". It makes a difference - he's not Aaron Donald.

    Who does Seattle pick at #5? (Poll)

    This is unconventional but I think the Seahawks should give Geno the transition tag. If the team wants to do right by Geno and give him every opportunity to get the best deal he can (current and prospective Seahawks players would respect and appreciate the organization for this), and the...

    FA targets

    They were already running a lot of 3-4/Bear fronts while KJ was playing - look at games his last year and see how often he was playing up on the line of scrimmage. They didn't want to playing him at off-the-ball LB bc they didn't want to stunt Brooks' development. And the year they moved on from...

    FA targets

    KJ didn't fit the new scheme well as an OLB - you need to be a pass rush threat and he simply wasn't. As an off-the-ball LB David fits - he's definitely old so it would depend on the cost, but as a 1-year fill-in while Brooks recovers I think he'd be a decent option depending on the price.

    Calijah Kancey a reach at #20?

    I don't think it's a great idea to compare him to probably the best 3-tech of all time in terms of what we can expect - I think a rotational (not necessarily 1st choice on mixed downs) 3-tech and 1st choice on passing downs is probably more reasonable. Do we have any confirmed measureables for...
