Thoughts on the Seahawks pick
In all of my 2021 mock drafts so far, I’ve tried to look at the scenarios where the Seahawks can be opportunistic in the late second round.
I think that’s a possible approach this year. They have hit the jackpot with players who dropped into this range in the past (D.K. Metcalf, Frank Clark). It’s possible they will seek a similar opportunity, considering they don’t have a first round pick.
Therefore, I’ve tried to find talented and/or highly athletic players who might drop a bit. That has included, so far…
— Haskell Garrett (shot in the face earlier this year yet has made a full recovery)
— Marvin Wilson (inconsistent play but a physical phenom)
— Jaelen Phillips (former five-star recruit but suffered concussions at UCLA)
In this projection I’ve gone for an even more extreme projection.
Landon Dickerson is a terrific offensive lineman. I hadn’t fully focused on him until last week. His toughness leaps off the screen. For the 2020 season he was credited with zero sacks and only one quarterback pressure. According to PFF, he was the most valuable O-liner in college football per ‘wins above average’.
I was preparing to pair him with the Seahawks in my next mock. His personality and competitive attitude, plus his size, seemed like a good fit. Ethan Pocic is a free agent in the off-season and while he could easily be re-signed — the Seahawks don’t have limitless resources this off-season. Some players are going to need to be replaced on the cheap. If they can keep him for a modest sum, that’s great. I’m not sure what his market will be though. He could actually receive a lot of interest given he’s only 25 and now has a strong season as a starter on his résumé.
So Dickerson was going to be the guy for Seattle here. Then I watched the SEC Championship game and he suffered a serious knee injury.
I considered changing the pick because the Seahawks have had a bad enough experience with an injured second rounder this year. However, I decided to stick with it. After all, I’m trying to identify players who could fall into range and can play beyond their draft position. Dickerson has the talent to achieve that if he can stay healthy.
Unfortunately staying healthy is the big problem.
In 2016 he tore his ACL. In 2017 he had surgery on his right ankle. In 2018 he missed the whole season due to complications over a high ankle sprain. He then transferred from Florida State to Alabama and suffered this knee injury at the end of the year.
You could say he’s injury prone. You could also argue he’s unlucky. There’s nothing unique about his frame that suggests he’s liable to get injured. It’s also worth noting the injuries are different.
Even so, he has had some problems staying on the field. After the Darrell Taylor experience, the Seahawks quite likely wouldn’t make this pick in round two. He might even last longer than he otherwise would and could be available later.
Nevertheless, he’s a bad ass center who is beloved in Alabama:
What do you think Landon Dickerson’s teammates feel about him? Ultimate sign of respect from his guys. pic.twitter.com/vnKlB9ZzTs
— Jim Nagy (@JimNagy_SB) December 20, 2020
Here was quarterback Mac Jones’ reaction to the injury:
“Landon is one of my best friends, and if Landon is going to stay on the ground then you know something’s wrong. He tried to get up, but I think our trainers were like ‘Stay down, stay down.’
“It just goes to show, that guy will put his whole life on the line for Alabama football and if he could he’d play as soon as he can for us because he just wants to be back, but obviously the injuries are the injuries.”
I just want more guys who play like Dickerson on this team. He straddles the fine line between what’s acceptable and not. He’s what an offensive lineman should be — a bit quirky, a bit crazy and tough as old leather.
Provided you do all the requisite medical checks and don’t find anything that points to all these injuries, he might be worth taking a chance on. Obviously you’d have to see signs of a positive recovery from his latest setback too.
I don’t think it’s particularly likely he’s taken by Seattle here because they only have one pick in the first three rounds. They also have a lot of potential needs, with several players out of contract in the off-season. Drafting a player who is recovering from injury with the only high pick you own could just be too risky.
That said, to me he plays on tape like a future multi-year starter in the NFL.
He’s also athletic — scoring 100.05 in SPARQ which is a great mark for an interior offensive lineman. He was the #64 overall High School recruit per ESPN in 2016.
I’ll clarify one more time that I’m doing these projections for a team picking in the late second round, in a college football season hammered by a global pandemic. It’s not easy to come up with new names but that’s what I want to try and do. I want to present different options.
I also have no issue with the Seahawks trying to hit a home run with their pick in round two — provided that next year, they’re able to do all the full medical checks. That was my issue with the Taylor pick. If ever there was a time to be cautious it was the 2020 draft. Teams simply didn’t have anywhere close to the necessary information to make big calls on injuries. Seattle not only took a gamble — they gave up two high picks to do so.
If Dickerson or anyone else can be tested thoroughly — and who knows whether that’ll be possible in 2021 — then the risk is at least somewhat managed.
Health permitting, he has the talent, potential and attitude to set the tone for your O-line for a decade.
Other quick draft notes
— It’s still early but this is looking like a strong draft for interior linemen on both sides of the ball. There are a number of talented defensive tackles available and there appears to be some strong options at center and guard too.
— The SEC game against Florida sold me on Najee Harris. He is just so classy combining elegance, power and size with an ability to do everything — run inside or out, run good routes and provide a dynamic weapon that can help lead an offense.
— Sadly for the Seahawks, without a late first round pick in 2021, there are a lot of appealing options available in that range. This looks like another draft that will be significantly elevated by underclassmen and there should be some fantastic prospects available in the top-50.

I’ve been excited all week for this mock! Interesting to see Wilson above Fields in this one! Thanks Rob for your hard work this year! Happy Holidays to you and your family.
Thanks Jace, Merry Christmas
Do you see Seattle keeping DJ Reed in as the starting corner come next year? Whenever the camera is on him he seems to make a play and he has a 90.8 off grade vs mclaurin for most of the game. As Pete Carroll said, he has that angry Doug attitude when on that field and that is something we need more of. Thank you for your time and merry Christmas!
I have no relevant input. I do know however, that I find myself cheering for the kid more than anyone else on this defense. He’s flying around, he’s playing with an edge, and everyone is noticing.
I think there’s a decent chance, yes
I appreciate the work you put into these mock drafts Rob. I watched the podcast last night and I guessed the wrong offensive lineman. I guessed it was going to be Jalen Mayfield from Michigan. But I do like Landon Dickerson. But like you said, I don’t know if they would pick him as their 1st pick with his injury history.
I feel if Marvin Wilson was there, they would definitely pick Wilson. He fits their high upside, physically dominant player. Although he hasn’t played as well this season, I would still pick him.
I also wanted to hear your opinion on two DL prospects. Jordan Davis from Georgia and Jayson Oweh from Penn State. With Davis, he’s listed as 6’6 320. He does have the size the Seahawks have “craved at the DT position. He’s tough, good against the run, but he’s not good at pass rushing. He’s sort of similar to Raekwon Davis from last year. I think the Seahawks would also be interested in him if he was there. Is Jason Oweh declaring for this draft? If he is, I’m curious to see why he isn’t in the top 2 rounds. He looks like a LEO/EDGE and would fit in well with the Seahawks.
I see Jordan Davis as a classic anchor. Some teams value the position early and I can see him being a R2 target for a 3-4 team. Oweh just flatters to deceive for me. Athletic, yes, but doesn’t show enough with it.
I don’t follow CFB closely at all – so don’t have much to contribute – but when I see you have LB’s going as high as 5th and 7th overall, they must be pretty special players.
I also like that you are building a long-term offensive line in Cincy for Joe B. That is too smart and logical…wonder if the Bengals will actually do that.
Another Great Podcast Rob and Robbie,
I as well don’t care how they win as long as they win; but would also prefer a convincing win for once.
Curtis thanks for your weekly watch notes, always a good read.
In regards to Dickerson, great center. Love how he plays, if not for his injury I could have seen him going late 1st early 2nd. I’d been looking at centers.
Any thoughts on Michael Menet center for Penn if we trade down. I really like him as well.
I guess if were only going to have a few picks, atleast it’s a draft for trenches which we need. Hopefully a good DL or OL pick at our pick and they go BPA.
Rob, on a separate note.
I know I’m an arctice behind on this.
I enjoy the blog knowing you’re going to write about what you want to write about.
It makes me look forward to what might be coming next, especially this year.
I’ve really enjoyed finding a place not afraid to challenge things the Seahawks have done or are currently doing.
It’s been obvious to me from the get go you are a true fan and enjoy talking about the team; whether it’s positive or critical.
I believe coaches, players, or ownership should be challenged when necessary.
It’s been a relief to find a place where a fan can find a place for both.
You have provided a great atmosphere full of wonderful thought out content.
Whether it be on the draft, Free-agency, coaching, player fits, salary issues and so much more.
It provides such a great place for discussion amongst us fans & is by far the best Seahawks website there is.
I myself am very greatful, and in doing so you have provided a great gift i get to appreciate almost daily throughout this year.
Thanks again for all you have put into it, as I said it is greatly appreciated.
Happy Holidays and a Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Thanks Scot, Merry Christmas
You’re welcome Scot04. And thank you for the kind words.
Hey Rob/Robbie, really enjoyed your podcast this year. Dallas moving away from Dak is such a Jerry thing to do and for Dak’s sake, kind of hope they do it. I like Dak and think he is a top 10 QB and Dallas mgmt are fools. Good luck Dak!
I like the move for Kellen Mond to Indy. I actually think that would be a good play for their future. I’ve watched Mond his entire college career and seen him progressively get better. He has his flashes and with a coach like Frank Reich, could really maximize his abilities.
I hope the Seahawks start thinking about our LT situation instead of replacing Pocic…keep Pocic for 2-3 more years and see where he ascends to. I love Duane Brown but also know his time is limited. Do we have his replacement on the roster already or do we need to bring someone in to get ready to take his place.
I want another DK!!! 🙂
Santa, all I want for Christmas is the Seahawks smashing the Rams.
For everyone on this blog, be safe… love your family and be kind to each other.
Always the best from the Pacific North-West! Cheers
I don’t care about the Rams, “all” I want for Christmas is for the Seahawks to win the Super Bowl.
Alabama quarterback Mac Jones, Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence, Alabama wide receiver DeVonta Smith and Florida quarterback Kyle Trask are the finalists for the 86th annual Heisman Memorial Trophy, it was announced Thursday.
Runners up: Alabama’s Najee Harris in fifth, Iowa State’s Breece Hall sixth, Fields from Ohio State seventh, BYU’s Zach Wilson eighth, Ian Book of Notre Dame ninth and Florida’s Kyle Pitts in 10th.
Merry Christmas to everyone here! This place makes the season bright (and all the other seasons).
On the agenda today: the annual viewing of A Christmas Story, Saints v. Viqueens and king crab legs for dinner.
Rob, thanks for Christmas article. Is there any OT hawks can land in 2nd round? D Brown replacement needs to be there on roaster this year.
It’s obvious to me, Rob is spot on, they draft this center from Alabama and he gets shifted to left tackle and struggles to adjust, plays some guard too, Pocic of course is resigned and starts at center, and on we go! Haha Merry Christmas!
It’s always hard to find a left tackle after the first frame
Finishing the year strong with the past two articles Rob. Thank your for providing us with honest, uncompromising analysis this past year, kind of a weird one. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Thank you, Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas SDB! Wishing everyone a great day
You too. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas all
Thanks man. Merry Christmas to you too!
Hopefully that means Jarran Reed plays Sunday.
Merry Christmas everyone. Thanks for putting out the mock draft Rob. I can see us going OL or DL next draft. Another great 2nd day RB we passed on a few years ago with all the size/speed combo we look for is Alvin Kamara of the Saints. Today with the 4th qtr. just started, he has about 150 yards and 5 TDs.
This mock draft has us looking ahead very soon to not only the Senior Bowl (Jan. 30) and NFL Combine (March 8-11), but also your great interview podcasts with possibly some of the players above and several others. And although it would be almost impossible with the covid this time, I bet we see you doing tons of video podcasts on YouTube in a little over a year with players and coaches, Tony Pauline and many more at the 2022 Senior Bowl.
I am determined to make a Senior Bowl one day. The content I could get out there would be fantastic.
Take my money
How would peoplenrank these 4 free agents?
KJ Wright
Shaquille Griffin
Chris Carson
Ethan Pocic
By Talent:
1. Carson
2. Wright
3. Shaq
4. Pocic
By need to re-sign
1. Shaq – Solid. Big hole at CB without him and outside FAs seem to struggle to adjust to our system
The rest are all expendable to a degree and should be re-signed if the price is right.
2. Carson – Penny is not Carson but still has talent and a cheap rookie contract and hopefully he retained his breakaway speed.
3. Pocic – because of the sheer lack of solid lineman in the NFL. But that same reason could price him out of range.
4. Wright – only #4 because father time has to catch up to eventually (even though he is playing as solid as ever this year) + Brooks on a rookie LB deal is showing flashes at times and I believe his ascension is part of the team’s plan.
Agree. Well put. Four starters are hard and expensive to replace. The only candidate for a down year is Wright, and only because this year was so good.
Sign them all. Get a good deal with 2-4 years and team options on the second half.
All four are important. Even if they add a running back they can still use Carson. Same applies to the rest. First one out? Wright is the closest to the end, but of the four the biggest difference maker this year with Carson close behind.
In no way could I place Griffin at the top of this list.
He’s not that good and will be the most expensive by far.
Neither is Carson expendable. He has a lot of injuries but the difference with and without him is titanic for the offense. Sadly there’s just no realistic alternative but to sign him to a short term extension.
Completely agree with this take Rob. Griffin- what has he done to warrant a 2nd contract (with a hefty raise to boot)? No way I’d sign him for top CB money- which is what he is going to command. Carson just can’t stay in the field. I fear the Hawks will overlook that and pay him. Hopefully not more than a 2 year deal. I’d rate the signing the guys listed as follows:
1. Pocic keep some continuity a C.
2. Griffin. Not because I want him but this was the list we were given and it would be a position of need in 2021.
3 Carson. For cheap (unlikely)
4 KJ. I’d like to move him up further on this list, but age and salary demands likely make him expendable. Plus there is too much $ tied up in the LB position already. Would love it if KJ came back and played LEO (also unlikely).
Anyone think the franchise or transition tag is a realistic possibility for any of these guys? Using one of those tags on carson might not be the worst idea. With the franchise tag we get him for a one year deal and can try to negotiate a short extension. With the transition we get to let him test the market but we have the right to match. The latter might be the beat option if we can’t get a reasonable short term deal done (although I’m not sure I’m over my Steve Hutchinson transition tag PTSD)
The Seahawks really don’t have the cap room to tag anybody in 2021.
Shit. Well there goes that idea. Thanks cha
I mean, I’d like all of them back at the right price. But until we know what the cap will be for next year I’d be surprised to see an extension for any of these guys.
If it weren’t for his injury history Carson is the one guy I could see PCJS wanting back the most. I know RB’s are viewed as being replaceable but I think CC might be the most difficult of these 4 guys to replace. Had we drafted Chubb instead of Penny it would have put us in such a better position this off-season.
I’d like to see KJ retire a Seahawk, but with Brooks looking like he’s coming along I’m not sure how his future here plays out.
Griffen seems like the quintessential “he’ll definitely be overpaid” sort of guy. Chasing after him seems like a bad idea.
Pocic has been fine but I doubt he will be at the top of the priority list. I could see him staying or leaving depending on his market. Hopefully he stays at a reasonable rate, as his departure would just create another need without a viable replacement on the roster.
With only 34 players under contract and just 5 draft picks it could make for an interesting offseason.
1.Carson
1a.Wright
(big, big gap)
3.Griffin
4.Pocic
Will be interesting to watch these four. I think Carson, Wright and Pocic could all be around $6m a year where Griffin could be double that. I think all of them besides Pocic make it to free agency and Pocic will be the first to sign.
Why do you think Ja’maar Chase will go before Devonta Smith?
Watch the 2019 college football season
Congrats
If you had Alvin Kamara in your FF Playoff Championship…. you won (already)!
How many points did he end up with in a PPR league?
I ask cuz when I played, that’s the type of league I was in.
I’m assuming over 60?
25 touches for 170
6 TD
6 x 6 = 36
170 = 17 points
(Might be bonuses for over 50, 100 and 150)
25 touches = 25 points (unless only true catches then 3 points)
Somewhere in the 70-85 point range.
Another ringing endorsement for the Seahawks medical staff…
I just completely do not understand how they constantly have issues identifying injuries and then dealing with the injuries during re-hab. They do a decent job on rehab, but some guys never make it back….. and these guys/gals are the ones who sign off on draft-picks with injury concerns and it seems like they almost always whiff on the guys with major injury concerns.
It also is maddening, Seattle is one the centers of the universe for medical research and development. Tremendous talent lies within 100 miles of Seahawks HQ…. tap the talent.
Maybe this is just my perception, but I would have less faith in their evaluation on a guy with injury history within the upcoming draft. I guess I just don’t know what to think about guys with medical concerns….. and if you sing a guy to a contract, knowing he isn’t right and may not last the season…. then that is even worse. (Clowney sort of falls into the camp, imagine paying 15M for him, then his knee gave out 2/3 of the way through the season)
It’s got to be be Pete’s preference to have “elite” athletes and not bamf
Darrell Taylor doesn’t like this post.
If he wasn’t 100% when he got here they should have called off the trade. I guess we just like to give picks for players unready to play. They need an overhaul in their team that does the medical evaluations.
Looks like tomorow we are playing for home field advantage vs Ramsin two weeks.
If DET somehow beat TB today then it will be :
1. vsLAR, @NO
2. @WFT, @GB
What would you choose? I will take 2.
SEA #3 vs TAM #6
and
WST #4 vs LA R #5
and
NO #2 vs #7 AZ #7
Would be the best scenario. AZ could give the Saints fits….. Brees isn’t fully recovered.
Washington can chew up Goff and he might fold the tent.
Tampa is a bit of a fraud to me, very uneven sometimes. Make them travel and get out of the heat…. could freeze the Bucs in SEA.
Every single team in the NFC has flaws, unlike Chiefs and Bills who look legit on fire right now.
I’ll only pick GB on the road after Seattle under Carroll plays a game at Lambeau and doesn’t s**t the bed.
And I can only pick a game vs. the Rams home or away when Carroll proves he isn’t McVay’s bitch. Hasn’t happened so far.
To me the only path to the Super Bowl at this point in time involves not playing the Rams and not playing in GB. Maybe Sunday will change my mind about that first part.
Last year in the playoffs we gave GB all it could handle with no RBs, no TEs, Flowers getting picked apart by Rodgers and Amadi as a rookie covering Adams in the end. Seattle plays well on the big stage (and Sadly plays down to it’s lesser opponent) and for once we are approaching the post season fairly healthy. Flowers is replaced (upgraded) by Reed and Amadi is a better player now. We also added Dunlap (same or an upgrade over Clowney) and Adams. My main concern is game planning on both side of the ball.
That’s not how I remember the game last season.
We got into a massive hole, Wilson did his usual magic trick to make it close, but alas it was all for nothing
Yes, notorious for starting slow, we did fall behind 21-3 at the half before losing a close game at 28-23. Should be noted we were playing with Lynch and Turbin who were signed off the street. Plus Rodgers and Adams feasted on Flowers for 160 yards and 2 TDs. None of those factors are in play now. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not suggesting we are a much better team. But we’ll have a decent chance.
I was just looking at the numbers for Punter Michael Dickson.
Legit shot he could get an ALLPRO nod.
Currently, very good net (#4), average (#2) and 27 punts inside the 20 (#1).
Yeah good shot. Too bad he wasn’t Pro Bowl worthy (rolls eyes).
Jags learning from the Jets…
Going with the QB that gives them the best chance to LOSE.

Such cynicism Rob. I mean it said right in the tweet “revenge game” for Glennon. Win never for Trevor has nothing to do with it I’m sure.
Imagine being known as the college coach that said “Hey Russell, we can’t have you missing a few spring practices to play baseball, so we’re giving the starting job to Mike Glennon.”
A very, very sad story from college football, Utah.

Too bad. Kid had a great day vs my Beavs this year. Peace to you young man
Any opinion on Justyn Ross from Clemson? Seems to be a similar situation to DK, ie extremely talent receiver who has a scary neck injury. Do you see him possibly being a target if his neck is deemed good to go or you think it’ll scare off every team? Have a great new years
Seems like a swing you may have to take with less picks. Buy do you trust anyone on the Seahawks medical staff right now?
Tested poorly in the past, need to see some improvement there
Saturday Press Conf w PC
[john boyle] Every week championship opp? Why focus on that, establish normalcy? “Exactly. Mentality and approach. Time comes you know what to expect. Trust what you’ve been doing play the way you’re capable.”
[Gregg] Lack of fans, generate own energy, reinforce this week? “Biggest area of adj in the process. Take responsibly for all the energy and juice. Just as important as before. Offense cheering for D, D cheering for Offense.”
[joe fann] Olsen and Flowers up? “Greg come up, Mone come up.”
[joe] No Flowers? “no”
[bob condotta] Jarran Reed oK? “Practiced he’s fine. Bruised sternum.”
[bob] Ram offense, better handle more you see it? “We’ll show ya this weekend. Very good offense, a lot of diversity, do a great job.”
[Curtis crab] Iupati health? Simmons job? “Dealing with stingers, game last week. Wait and see on that one. Bothering him more acute this week. Simmons great job, big physical kid, played a lot of FB for us. Played against Rams in the past. Looking forward to him playing if that’s the way it goes.”
[tim booth] Biggest skill you’ve had to pick up as a coach in pandemic? “Carrying enthusiasm at stadium. Other side is ongoing emphasis on making right decisions, thought patterns without falling prey to COVID. Constant messaging that’s never been there before. Successful to point. Taken up a lot of air time, it really has.”
[art thiel] Surprised NFL hasn’t had to adj late/playoff schedule due to COVID? “Example of hockey and basketball, going into bubbles. Could we maintain with 4x as many players. Formula that can be successful. Found we have a formula for staying away from COVID. We can control the variables around us. Taken adv of it. Pretty darn successful for the league. Proud of where we are.”
[art] Cheesecake to Ugo? “Oh yeah, that landed. He hasn’t been real boastful about it.”
[AJ] DK vs Ramsey, seen DK looking forward? “hasn’t changed routine at all. You wouldn’t know it to watch him work. Exactly the way I hope he’d do it. Prepared well for whatever happens.”
[brady] Josh Gordon news? “Nothing changed.”
Sounds like I missed PC saying Shell will be in uniform tomorrow but Ogbuehi ready to play if need.
Bit of a waste of time aside from one injury line.
Some questions were already answered in the week.
Would it kill someone to ask Pete about his record vs the Rams? Should be an interesting answer.
“They’ve had some good squads that’s a good coaching staff Sean has down there. We just didnt get the job done”
But the questions need to be raised.
Oh ya and he’d say tremendous 10 times
I like that you’re thinking outside the box but I see almost zero chance they’re picking Landon.
They have huge needs everywhere. They like Pocic and also…mmm…forget the guy’s name who popped in for the Rams game 😀 both played really well this year. And I think they’ll be very risk averse after Taylor. Imagine the Taylor pick and a risky pick health-wise. If it wouldn’t work out JS would pretty much risk his job in a major way.
If an elite CB or DE drops because of health concerns they might…if someone drops because character concerns or might be a bit rough technique-wise they could pull the trigger. They had positive experiences with those. But they had a ton of bad luck with injuries for early picks (McDowell, Taylor, Penny). Most of these are bad luck but as they usually err on the safe side especially after they get burnt I really doubt they can risk it.
Don’t assume they’ll be able to retain Pocic
No one saw us taking a LB with our 1st pick either. Then as a team with a ton of safety depth trade for Adams. In regards to Landon, if he didn’t have the injury issue he’d likely be late 1st round. You need to watch the guy play.
Before they do anything they need to know what they are doing with Adams. Either extend him or trade him. Would love for them to have most things set up before the draft so we can just go BPA.
https://www.seahawks.com/news/seahawks-activate-te-greg-olsen-dt-bryan-mone-off-injured-reserve
Olsen and Mone activated.
Penny Hart will be the practice squad elevation this week.
I wonder how many teams in need of RB would take a chance on Carson’s health in a year when so many other options are available in free agency. But I wouldn’t want to see him in the ugly SF jersey just cause we didn’t estimate right, so I’d rather tag him.
KJ I’d love to see him stay on a lower salary. Maybe we can also keep Pocic, unless he really wants to go.
With Shaq I’m not sure, very likely Dunbar will also leave us, so losing two CBs would be a bit tough. I’d even consider going CB with the first pick of the draft, but I’m not sure what’s still available when we pick.
Sherm
They have some options. Try to get/retain DJ Reed as one fo the outside CBs, Neal also looks good when he gets on the field and Udo Amadi have played well in the 3rd CB/3rd Safety role, which leaves only the opposite CB spot…. I would prefer an in-house solution. Stephens, Thorpe, Blair or Flowers? Not sure if they give what you need…. Dunbar has too many injury concerns to be viable imo. I know Rob would love for Sherman to return, but he also has had a rash of injuries (2017-2020) the last few years… and if you are spending limited FA bucks on him, might not be the right move.
I can’t compute the preference of having Stephens, Thorpe, Flowers or a safety over Richard Sherman.

Interesting breakdown on how Seattle has been employing Adams to create sacks this season. Briefly touches on how they have changed the defensive philosophy from 4 man pressure scheme to a blitz heavy scheme…. and how teams have tried to neutralize it… specifically the fire blitzes mentioned in the video. It also explains communication has been the biggest issue in the explosive plays given up by Seattle in the passing game…
Rob, what are your thoughts on Kayvon Thibodeaux out of Oregon? Could he be a target for the Seahawks in 2022 or 2023?
Well they don’t have a R1 pick in 2022.
Fair point, lol. Thanks.
If healthy, Thibodeaux will turn pro next year. He could be a top 5 pick, certainly a top 10 pick. So forget the Hawks.
I said last year that Robert Saleh was getting a lot of HC heat solely off the backs of a ton of high draft picks.
I was wrong. He’s been great this year with all that talent on IR.
Yes! He’s been much more impressive this year coaching through the injuries.
I suspect Sherman will follow Salah to his new landing spot…. Detroit. 😀
No chance
Richard Sherman is not going to go and play for the Detroit Lions
The Cardinals are bang average
Indeed. And this Niners team is going to be a tough out in Week 17 the way the Hawks have been playing.
Arizona has played this game like they can’t be arsed though. Low energy, filled with mistakes.
Hopefully Seattle takes care of business.
Good point. Also the cards run D is terrible and Hawks is very good which can force the niners out of their comfort zone. But man if Beathard lights us up that will just feel terrible, even if a W.
They looked worn out.
Pete Carroll is such a good coach 🙏
Except against the Rams in general and Sean McVay in particular.
The Cards dump an important game and not looking good at all in doing so.
On a side note. The Vikings defense yesterday reminded me of the Hawks defense the first two thirds of the season. I wanted the Vikes to win for obvious reasons, but I finally threw up my arms and said Eff It! They are incapable of stopping the Saints offense.
The Cardinals really damaged their playoff chances now….. Bears nipping at their feet.
oh. Murray got dinged up on final drive as well. Not good at all for them.
That hit didn’t look too bad. I think he was more distraught about pi$&@ing their playoff hopes away.
Hey, more incentive for the Bears to beat the Packers so we can take the 1 seed.
Good point. Forgot about that. And the win secures the Niners a lower pick. All around a good outcome.
Their star WR and LB both went out with injuries during the game and didn’t return according to reports (I didn’t watch it)… so they could really be hitting rock bottom going into week #17.
They’ve been decimated all season but their D and Saleh confused and harassed Murray all game. This week Kittle insisted he wanted to play and next week JimmyG is coming back. At 6-9 they have no quit in them. So we can’t take week 17 game for granted.
OH NO WAY
Darren Waller is the great-grandson of jazz legend Fats Waller.
Aint Misbehavin’ I’m savin’ my love for you~~~~
No that’s some good info right there!
ha! that’s crazy… he’s so damn good. moves like a WR.
I hate when people say “let them score so you get the ball back”
Thats not football.
And that’s why.
Field gulls twitter account said “absolutely let them score here” WHILE THE DOLPHINS still HAD THE LEAD
Thats the same kind of person that can’t understand why the Jets wanted to win a game this year
Michael Irvin in glasses looks like a young Johnnie Cochran 😂
Congrats Raiders….. you effectively crapped the bed 2-3 games in a row.
Go quietly into the offseason that you deserved.
Fitz’s body completes that pass while his head is rolling along the field ten yards away.
Definition of Fitzmagic
He is the definition of a QB, with somewhat limited tools, being able to be productive and lead multiple teams to victory in extraordinary circumstances. A true leader, unlike scam Newton and other NFL QBs that are “Good Time Charlie’s”. He may never win a SB or get to the HoF, but he has been the definition of a good football player in the NFL…. for a very long time.
I like Cam Newton.
You’re in a very small club there. Like charlietheunicorn, I’m not a member.
No one here is as big a fan of Cam…as Cam.
Wait, what? I have questions.
Meh. Haven’t even noticed him TBH.
Mone was better.
Right, just weird to me after how he reportedly turned down other teams at various points this season to stay with us, and him being a veteran and knowing we will be in the playoffs.
I can see his point though. This might be it for him. He doesn’t want to finish his career as a healthy scratch.
You would think he would be into being on a playoff team and getting paid in playoffs with a chance for a ring. But i guess ego prevails over all.
Seems like u would want as many healthy big bodies ready going into the playoffs. If Mone or Ford gets hurt our depth goes down quickly with Snacks gone. He definitely took up space and kept wags and Kj a little cleaner. A little surprising to me this late. Especially now he’s pretty much in game shape. I was looking forward to a good rotation to keep them healthy for playoffs.
Agree 100% Scot04. The only part I didn’t like was airing his dirty laundry on Twitter or wherever for all to see. But he stayed here even when others tried to poach him and is getting paid 1/10th the price he’s been making the last decade, and now that he’s put in months of work to get in shape and finally playing better, they scratch him and play our 5th/6th string practice squad WR Penny Hart instead? He gave up being at home with his new baby, risking Covid when a lot of other big OL and DL didn’t this year and wants to play for the Seahawks more than any other team, but we’re showing by the scratch it’s not a 2 way street. He’s been playing better plugging the middle and even forced a fumble recently, now we’re throwing him out like the trash. Who wouldn’t want to get a chance with another team that wants him after all he’s done to stay here and play?
My Sunday wish list.
-Hawks feature Carson and get him rolling heading into playoffs
-Russ starts to look like Russ from weeks 1-6 not the Russ from the last 9 weeks.
-Defense shows it can defend the edges against the Rams and stop the run
-DK wins a matchup with Ramsey
*Most importantly the Hawks win and Derrick Henry runs for 200yds as the Titans beat the snot out of a soft Packers team.
I have a feeling the Packers are going to get run over by the Titans.
We definitely need the cooking Russ today if we want to win. Here’s hoping for 5 TDs!
The interesting thing for us is the Titans game means nothing for us. Win or lose we need the Bears to beat the Packers or we cant catch them.
If an efficient 250 yards with 3 TDs and no ints, supported by a strong run game qualifies as “cooking”, sign me up. otherwise, no thanks.
This is 2020 in a nutshell.
Biggest game of the season in a few hours and we have to deal with Snacks Harrison tweeting away about how he wants to leave because he’s a healthy scratch today.
Social media.
Can honestly say if I was a GM I would have a grade for whether or not players bother with twitter or Instagram or Tiktok etc.
The one thing the hawks have this year going into the playoffs is health and depth, but now have lost dunbar, gordon and snacks so the depth is getting thin, yuck!
Hate that the players air their feelings and grievences on social media too. But the reason he’s leaving is because after he came out of semi-retirement and took weeks to get in shape, turned down other teams, is finally looking better and pushing the pocket and forcing fumbles, we scratch him in favor of a former UFA in the biggest game of the year so far. We can’t rotate him and scratch Penny Hart or anyone else? Especially with Reed partially injured and Mone coming off an injury? Thanks Pete or whoever’s stupid decision this is.
Agree with you. I still remember Antonio Brown secretly streaming Tomlin’s locker room talk on FB.
Is Mone that much of an improvement over Snacks? He has had a good couple of games after getting in shape. I would hate to lose him to GB, giving them a fresh healthy body at the end of the season.
Honestly who cares that he wants to be released. It’s really a non story that people make a big deal out of.
He’s a pretty average run stuffer at this point in his career and then has to go on social media and be super dramatic about it. There is such a lack of self awareness.
Well let’s not get carried away. Nothing “super dramatic” here.
Super dramatic is Antonio Brown posting a private phone call with Gruden, and then posting himself dancing in his backyard in glee when he found out he’d been released from the Raiders.
True. I don’t think anyone compares to the craziness that is Antonio brown.
I just think people talk about snacks a lot and make a big deal about him when he is an aging rotational run stuffer.
Agee 100% Rob. You wanna play on social media or do you wanna play winning football?
How’s he going to PLAY winning football when he’s not even in the game and a healthy scratch? We’re treating him like injured rookie Collier last year, but he’s healthy and improving, almost like he was just a placeholder for Mone and not a contributor at all. Don’t blame him for being upset, just hope as has been reported, that he doesn’t play a factor in stuffing Carson etc. for Green Bay, Tampa Bay or some other team we play in 2-3 weeks. What if Reed, Mone or Poona are hurt or tweaked as Pete says, early in the game? Was it really more important to get a 5th or 6th string WR Penny Hart up from the practice squad into the game?
Props to the NFL for giving us pretty much a full football season so far.
I was a little surprised hearing that Harrison was made a healthy scratch. I liked the depth they were building up on the line with some players returning from injury. You never know what can happen the next few games injury-wise.
Psyched for this game. We can win the division for the first time since 2016. That would be a helluva accomplishment given the disappointing off-season and this up and down season.
What I’m thinking now…
–Impose our will with the ground game as much as we can…
–I like screen passes and the TE’s getting involved (they usually get pressure on RW)
–PRESSURE GOTH!
Let’s get this win.
PRESSURE GOTH!
This made me LOL. The Rams’ QB wearing black eye shadow and listening to Joy Division.
I see the graphic that TJ Watt has the most QB pressures in the NFL, then I watch him strip sack Rivers and turn the game around and I just get sad for what could have been. 🙁
I remember a LOT of people here pounding the table for Watt after his great season at Wisconsin and excelling at the combine. With the 2-3 trade downs before taking the Calais Campbell of the future in DT Malik McDowell, we could have drafted either Watt or Pro Bowl RT Ramczyk of NO, also from Wisconsin.
https://overthecap.com/new-orleans-saints-cap-maneuverings-for-2021/
So there’s one roadmap for how the Saints can get out of the cap mess they’re in.
Feels like the piece is a bit rosy in its conclusion though in saying that the Saints aren’t in rough shape:
The proposed moves get them to zero – no room for paying their draft picks and no room to retain any free agents.
As well:
-getting rid of their two top CBs
-lots of OL and DL depth gutted
-swapping Brees for Hill isn’t an upgrade – and they extend Hill to lower their cap, tying themselves to him for the foreseeable future
-the proposed restructure guys are all in their late 20’s or 30’s. It’s not a winning proposition to assume all of those restructures will be productive at age 33-35 to the tune of a $20m/year cap number.
It’s not gonna be pretty.
I believe you gotta trade Micheal thomas and some other pieces. But no matter what they do, they are in teardown territory.
The league is expected to go to 17 games next year and there’s a new tv contract to be negotiated. In addition, the player revenue share is going to increase, so the cap is likely going to be a bit higher than currently expected.
Please don’t tell me we’re in for calls like this today. Smh.

Fatukasi had some garlic bread in his pre game meal
In that case, they should have reviewed him for a possible ejection too… 😂🤣
Schefter breaking a story that all NFL players will be issued a tin of breath mints pre-game as a player safety measure. Altoids and Tic Tacs scrambling to be the ‘official breath mint of the NFL’
😀
Refs called a ticky tack block in the back on our old friend mark Glowinski that cost the Colts at least 3 and maybe 7 late in the first half. Score was already 21-7 Colts so of course I was immediately suspicious they were helping the stealers stay close. Don’t know why I’d think such a thing. I mean the stealers have never benefitted from refs calls before.
(eye roll)
Hopefully between this and I heard the NFL is also signing new multi-billion $ TV contracts in the offseason, the salary cap will go up and not stay the same as been reported in recent months.
I suppose that means we’re down to like a 2 game preseason then, right? Do we get another bye week?
I hope they keep they expanded practice squads and new rules include with it. Like the protection and eligibility to be called up twicr before waivers. I thought it’s been a plus for teams and players
And the new IR rules where they can place several players on IR without losing them for the season, only 3 weeks or so. The new IR and practice squad rules and bigger practice squads as Scot04 points out would be things to keep permanently.
I’d be fine with just 2 pre-season games. With the vaccines next year, we should be able to do all the year round conditioning in 2021 so the players can stay in shape and we can medically test FAs and draftable players so there aren’t any big surprises like this year.
Now if they can only make it so all players are active for game day. That would not only help in case of in-game injuries, but we wouldn’t be losing Snacks.
I haven’t paid all that much attention to the Colts this season. They’re not bad. They could cause some problems in the playoffs.
Break up the Jets! Leading Cleveland 20-3

Parkinson has officially become my “why the F don’t we activate that guy and give him a shot” guy for 2020.
Whoa, whoa, hey. Greg Olsen and his $7m blocking say otherwise.
Keanu Neal is really good when healthy… maybe Seahawks should trade 2 first round picks for him lol
Sadly…we probably could have offered a 2nd Rounder for him and sealed the deal. I really like Jamal, but the draft capital is just reckless, IMO.
For those of you who don’t live in the area or maybe didn’t check the weather forecast there will be no rain in Seattle today
Pretty wet and dreary outside now. Maybe we’ll get some clearing.
Watching Mahomes he is great but man is this guy lucky with his interceptions. Everytime I watch him opposing teams seam to drop Int’s. Russ not getting that this season.
Man Mahomes I’m sure is charmed….
You were saying?…
Atlanta Pro Bowl kicker Koo misses a 39 yd game tieing FG as time ran out. Jason Myers laughing inside
NO JINX!
I admit it. I wrote off Pitt a little too soon there.
J-E-T-S jets, jets, jets! Haha
Kick off time!
Those Rams jerseys are u-g-l-y!
Let’s get it!
3 and out! Great job defense there. Not worried about the up tempo.
By all means let’s run straight at the strength of the Rams’ defense 🙄
Pete is going to find a way to prove that you can in fact run your way to a divisional round loss, every year.
Bloody hell. Run, run, pass (should’ve been picked), punt.
Great start and offense goes 5 yards. Starting at midfield, couldve put pressure on them early. Rw lucky on that drop.
woof
Nice start…piss away great field position.
Hey I know, let’s throw into triple coverage
Probably should be down 7-0 with Russ continuing his collapse.
Prove us wrong Russ. Turn it the hell around starting next possession.
Hey look, it’s the Darryl Bevell offense…
Darrell*
Kj has been amazing.
KJ is money
Cooper Kupp is a guy I love to hate
The ball is 100% going to Kupp there…and he still gets it. lol
I hate being that guy…but we are 4.5 mins into this and feeling like the same old story.
Yup
I honest to God think PC believes 3rd and 5 is a really good place to be on offense.
Great formation. Drop Rasheem Green in coverage and just have him stand there and do nothing.
Another week of being out coached.
Pete Carroll is a better coach than Sean mcVay
Cmon man. Get off the damn field on 3rd down ffs
Griffin not really proving a point…
Seattle can’t get out of its own way, more than LA can’t get out of theirs.
Sure. 3rd & 4 let’s drop Carlos Dunlap in coverage
Saw that
That’s three third downs converted on this drive right?
Yep and I believe the shortest of those was 6 yds. Would been another 3rd down fail if Goff didn’t suck.
Get off the field defense…
Please, a 3rd down stop…
Well, it took a WR drop, but we got it…
Let’s get to 3rd and long; and not convert. We can do this.
Thrown behind him. Goff sucks
Here we go, short passing, rolling out, getting RW some juice
Looks like Ogbuehi in at RT.
Easy win incoming, y’all.
Re-lax
Kenny, we don’t need to do this. Let people react to a poor start.
Could you not single me out, im not doing anything wrong
Wilson should’ve kept it there
His decision making on keeps is predetermined. And hes always predetermined to hand it off.
Triple teaming Donald is a recipe for sacks
Lockett wide open at the sticks. Hold onto it and get sacked…
O line blocking fail. 3 guys on Donald, none on the guy that got the sack
Not that russ isn’t broken cuz he is
So far D looks decent, ST looks great, O looks lame…
Here goes our MVP with another 3rd down sack taken after holding the ball forever.
Its difficult to reconcile Russ being “elite”, with how terrible we are on 3erd down.
russell had lockett for the first there. didnt pull the trigger.
to be fair, the defender was right in his passing lane…
Lockett was open there too, sat down in the zone.
Anyways, I noticed Ramsey was not shadowing DK on at least a couple snaps of that drive. Why not go to him when they get a good matchup?
Uh oh, 3rd and long
Nice play by Mayowa
MUCH better!
Offense with field position yet again. Have done nothing with it so far.
Jamal Adams is so freaking good at football.
Literally one of the best all-around ball players I’ve ever seen.
We are 20 minutes away from being able to legally target DK for an offensive play. Very pumped.
Holy hell we threw a pass to DK in Q1!
I was just gonna say. At least we targeted him.
DK left Ramsay in the dust on that comeback route
He was open a lot the last time we played the Rams as well, it’s just a question of whether we can keep Russ clean enough to get it to him.
When are we going to get smart and put someone other than our second best corner in to return punts? If Reed got hurt returning a punt for 5 yards… just not worth it.
“Sir Caryl! Why did you order a cavalry charge at the start?”
-Well, we knew it was going to be a siege, so we wanted to be aggressive from the start, and the Dothraki were very aggressive.
“But sir, the Dothraki are all dead”
-Yeah, that was an unfortunate setback but we’ve waived Dorn and Yara’s fleet and we’ll be calling up more Unsullied and Dothraki from the practice squad. They should be here by episode 5 or 6.
“Sir Caryl, when the retreat was sounded, all of the Unsullied were killed trying to protect trebuchets. Why were the trebuchets and Unsullied outside of the wall to begin with?”
-Well, during a siege, it’s really important to be aggressive, so we wanted to establish the cavalry early and come out strong. Like I said, We weren’t anticipating losing the Dothraki, the Unsullied and our artillery that early, but at the end it turned out to be a good battle and we managed to come out on top. I also want to shout out to Jon who did an outstanding job yelling at the enemy dragon. He hasn’t had much of a role this season but I really think his yelling at the dragon helped turn the tide. Outstanding job.
“Sir, you had two dragons and an enemy that instantly dies when they come in contact with fire. Why didn’t you just wait for the main force to arrive and burn them all?”
-Well we wanted to make sure that the dragons were limited in action because we’ll be needing both of them for episode 5, and we also didn’t want to tip our hand too early because we were confident in the Dothraki….just didn’t work out as anticipated.
Man is this offense waking tf up? Lets put some points up
Alright, moving the sticks. c’mon Seattle…
Metcalf and Carson. That’s what we want some more of!
Great pass pro!
Jalen Hurts has a really special mentality
The problem here, is they’re not establishing David Moore.
Everyone so down on Moore, I think he’s one of the best #3’s in the league
He’s been really slow-footed as of late, Kenny. But yeah, he seems to be good for a clutch TD bomb every few games.
just a joke man, didn’t even get down on him 😀
It was pretty funny, too
Disagree. I can think of a bunch of teams with far better #3 WRs. TB, Pitt, Bills, Dallas and Arizona to name a few. Mediocrity should not be praised imo. Esp if the goal is to win a SB.
Seahawks fans would go nuts with all of Deontay Johnson’s drops, but ok
D. Moore has like 300 yards for the year… Let’s be real plug in any average 3rd WR in the offense and should get similar production.
Im dying over this 🤣🤣🤣
So…are we officially worried about RW yet? He looks washed. Sad.
Nah.
For real. The level of regression from Russ is just astounding… He does not even look like the same player
He looks…terrible. This is shocking, really.
Yeah nah man lets not get carried away.
We are way passed “a few bad games.”
Russ with a great play on that 3rd down showing comfort in the pocket. Then a wide open miss, then drops his head and runs straight into a sack. Sigh.
Myers for MVP 🙂
They’re playing the Rams game. Let’s do 5 step drops and see who’s open.
They just can’t do that.
Tie Ball Game!!!!
Lets get a turnover
That is what happens when the quarterback is sacked constantly and begins to see ghosts he throws the ball too quickly
Not that there shouldn’t have been a penalty because there should have
Yeah, Russ definitely had an axe to grind there.
And then Pocic doesnt pick up the stunt.
Makes Russ look bad.
There have been a LOT of sacks this year I thought were on RW. That one was not
Yeah I agree. Russ has always run into sacks so I dont buy the ‘broken’ or ‘seeing ghosts’ narratives.
Something is slightly off. Couldnt imagine what
shouldve been an illegal contact call on that hit on Hollister. looked like it slowed him enough to miss that TD throw.
Not sure how to fix rw. This stretch from game 4 to now is maddening. Would love a top tier te. Maybe in the draf….oh yeah, nevermind.
Man, I am FIRED UP for this defense
Guess the extra player was too
Sometimes I think you are Pete Carroll’s burner account.
Tremendous tremendous effort there. Really pleased with our guys and all that
I really don’t know what you’re watching. We’re getting killed on 3rd down.
I think he’s trolling a bit Rik
No
Im watching a 6-3 divisional game.
We’re playing better than we have in the past against this team.
Hate to see Goff play better than Elite MVP Russ…
It’s 3-3 but Seattle feels scratchy and unsettled and the Rams seem to have some fluidity and control.
Jamal Adams can’t catch to save his life
The broken fingers probably don’t help, but yeah
The German commentators blame it on his broken fingers.
Imagine how many 1st rounders we would have given up for him if he could, tho!
Talk about burying the lede
Rob Gronkowski just felt some phantom pain in his chest
Adams has lead hands
He also is playing with broken fingers. Have u tried catching a football with broken fingers?
That’s no excuse! 😉
I can’t catch a ball without broken fingers.
What an athletic play by Adams.
Yeah, but arguably got away with a holding there
I mean if the play against Hollister was a penalty that was too. I say let em both go glad the refs did.
True. Either that or call them both.
How do you play a team 2x a year, and you’re still constantly repositioning and yelling at each other on defense right up to the snap?
Lol, Adams is a meme at this point…
Adams drops pick. Talks like he returned it to house.
3rd and long, their favorite down…
Luckily Goff isn’t in much better form than RW.
No he is not.
I keep praying Russell finds it again but hope is fading.
How was that not holding by whoever was blocking Dunlap?
They ain’t calling holding much at all this year. Plus you could find holding on 10x more snaps than get called, even “egregious” holding.
At this point, holding is a crapshoot call. Based on the whim feeling of wanting to effect the game in some way. Like proving to your boss youre working by randomly sweeping an area to fill in some time before closing.
Bahahha Goff gonna Goff
+1
Feel like once McVay is out of his ear, things go wrong for him.
I thought you said “when McVay is out this year” I was like man wishful thinking much
Good thing he is terrified of running
The good news is it’s only 6-3.
Because this has not been a good first half at all
Correct. But which coaching staff would I put my money on to adjust first? I’d rather not say…
Frustrating
My fear is losing control and going down 10 or more based on offense ineptitude. Then rams tee off on russ down the stretch. Basically replaying the first game vs the rams. Where we are not out of it by score, but by the utter feeling that theres no way seattle can overcome this huge 7 point déficit.
Sucks we cant see him at his best
He better rush back after a Russ dead duck 🦆 pass and another dismall three and out. Yeh.
Offense is shit yet again
Offense playing like absolute shite again
That was a wildly bad throw by RW.
What happened to the “Best deep ball in the NFL” ?
He’s just off. Something is wrong.
It’s really a joke. Seems that defense is becoming a lesser liability than the offense.
Tell me again nothing’s wrong with Wilson 🙄
Has looked shot for weeks
That deep ball to DK says it all. It just floated and wandered on him. Usually, that’s a dime dropped into DK’s breadbasket.
I repeat…it’s time to legitimately worry about RW.
Absolutely
He just blind threw that deep ball. If you have DVR, go back and look. Not even looking where he’s throwing.
Hey if Fitzmagic can do it, so should Dangruss
I’m afraid Russ doesn’t have a thick enough beard for that.
Pass to DK over wrong shoulder
Seattle is leaving too many plays on the field. A lot to be had so far.
Both sides
.
Dickson is badass…
Seahawks kicking game is tops in the League
That’s a bad throw on that deep shot. This offense has no rhythm and no plan. Pete and Russ sucks. Just pound the damn ball and make Russ rush a few times…at least we can kill the clock.
hawks D doing as well as we could possibly hope for – esp given the way they were earlier this year.
its crazy how shaky our offense looks now – and this current version of #3 doesnt seem to have any answers .
Has our offense been below average more often than good over the course of the season?
Its difficult to argue that the first 5 games arent the aberration, at this point.
Without question
Might be a hot take but kj Wright is the best player on the defense
Maybe we can trade him for two firsts
😂😂
Completely agree
Top 5 D in the last 6 weeks? What a strange team.
Pete is a monster of a coach
Tight coverage by adams!
Outstanding play by Adams there
Finally a decent coverage play by Adams
Adams is a really good player. But still not worth the 2 first rounders and a 3rd imo.
Well done Ryan Neal 🤡
Very very bad penalty
Adams is something else. Been everywhere today. Elite in the box, elite blitzer, if they can get him halfway way there coverage wise? Whew
PREZ
Dammit roughing the kicker
This f***ing team…
Bloody hell we just can’t have that!
How dare Neal postpone the next 3 and out on offense!
3 and out you say…
We’ll meet in the middle and take the pick 😀 !
He meant our offense will go 3+out
Fool…
Hope that penalty doesn’t loom large down the stretch
This team. Sigh. So mistake prone.
Brooks starting to pop here and there.
Played real well
why try to block that….AT ALL. The field position…
The TD?
Have you SEEN this offense today?
KJ taking scalps
Generous spot
Let’s face it..Pete couldn’t put together one good game in all phases all season. Time to retire..
Why is it that Pete challenges when he shouldn’t and doesn’t when he should?
D is gonna wear down. you can feel it.
on the field all half.
Bobby yelling at somebody
Wow! JARED GOOF
The only thing worse than the Seahawks in this game is Jared Goff
*Seahawks offense
Got 3 more points than Russ though
There we go!
Goff and RW putting on some of the worst QB play I’ve seen in quite some time.
Somewhere, right now, they’re inspiring the next Ryan Leaf.
Goff seahawks mvp
needed that so bad
OK Quandre. Earning that PB nod this year
I’m sayin.
Dude is quality
Thank you, Goff!!!
Let’s gooooooo! They finally make 1 of those plays that have been there all game. O
Diggs showing up more as the season goes on. Great to see.
Yey Diggs. I’ve never seen such a clueless QB like Goff out of the pocket.
If Donald and mcvay had a half decent qb they would be unstoppable..
Diggs is the master of having picks thrown right at him with no recievers in anywhere near.
😀
I think Alton Robinson has a future
Me too. Still need some speed off the edge tho
Goff 🦃
Get carson going!
Yes please let’s get Carson rolling
Passing game is DEAD. It’s time to just RUN baby.
Whatever it takes to win
Why does Russ not take what he’s given.dump off passes.grrh
He has many strengths. But some big weaknesses. 1 beong intermediate middle routes.
Rams D is good but Hawks making them look like 75 stealers.
holes are starting to open up and we stop giving it to our hammer
They need to give Hyde the ball too. Chip away at these linebackers.
So do you think it’s safe to say that, although we did not fix our pass rush this off-season, we did at least manage to improve our team speed on defense to match up with NFCW offenses?
It’d be nice to believe that, but most NFC offenses have been a steaming pile of hot garbage.
Jimmy G – Hot Garbage
Jared G – Hot Garbage you’re watching right now
Kyler M – Playing better, just young. NOT GARBAGE.
RusS – Hot Garbage you watch weekly.
NFCWest*
I’ve just been inducted into the WTF is wrong with Russ camp. WTF Russ.
“Breaking news” everybody.
Apparently, Pittsburgh has won the AFC north.
I’m pretty sure I’m the first to see that…
lmao right?? They’ve played it like 10 times.
I HATE Troy Aikman
That throw to DK is exactly what we need to keep doing.
That sack was so unnecessary
Drop by DK might have cost us 7
Yup
DK should have caught but that’s not a good placement by Russ
It was a terrible throw against an elite CB. That has to be in his gut, not above the shoulder pads.
Were all the routes deep on third and short?!
What the hell!?
I really can’t look at Wilson anymore. He is becoming horrific.
Is he scared?
Watching that 3rd down sack for the 344th time during rw career. All like the rest. Might as well be a replay.
Its not a new thing. Russ is the same as ever. It’s the turnovers that kill us
This. Wilson has always had stretches of great play, but he also seems to have more struggles than the truly ‘elite’ QB’s. He is who he always has been.
But the Rams defense is legit and has something to do with Wilson’s play.
These sacks for holding onto the ball forever. Angry Doug and Sherm would not be pleased with that 🙂
Wilson has not been clutch since Bills’ game. Is he broken?
We just make it so hard on ourselves its pathetic. If I hear Pete say we’re optimistic we can fix things one more time ill lose my shit.
Okay so 3rd and 6 you have 2 receivers run vertical. Tight end runs vertical. RB checkdown is covered. How are we supposed to be successful with that? Pull the damn coverage apart with crossing routes, routes run to different levels of the same area of the field, etc.
I want a new OC
Did the Rams launder their unis with a pink shirt and hot water?
LET RUSS COOK!!
Russ is cooked
JARED GOOF
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a K not named Justin Tucker this dialed in
NO JINX!
that was a goof
Lol Goff again
This is a throwback Fisher-era game.
45 second drill.
Let Russ cook its a flash fry
Has Aaron Donald ever been injured?
Usually has a QB under him to break his fall so he’s fine
Damn now that was awesome!
😂😂😂😂
Andy Dalton playing like a dang monster.
Great decision to scramble…man he legit sucks now.
Like are we being harsh on Wilson? Yes… Is it justified? Yes… RW is paid alot alot of $$$. If he doesn’t step up his contract will really set this team back.
True. I think this might be the first time in his career that expectations are higher than his output. He’s almost always been punching up in this league
Does RW understand situational football? I don’t get what he is thinking sometimes.
At the start of the season no one would have predicted that our defense would be carrying our team.
I dont think anyone would’ve predicted 10-4 and tied w the Rams at this point
Yes, but that has a lot to do with the Niners going to crap. Most predictions I saw had them repeating as div champs, Hawks right there, Cards up-and-coming, with the Rams as 3rd/4th.
Yeah been a strange season. I wouldnt have believed you if you said we’d be up 13-6 in the 3rd against LAR
leave it to the hawks to drop a turd in dec. with a game at winning div. etc how did our o het so pathetic the plus side, hope we can muster a drive next half. cant believe they squandered the good field position all game
Half time shower lets goooo Hawks
Let geno cook? 😂
LMFAO!!!
Sometimes I wonder if it’s possible it could be worse.
I still love Wilson but he’s not Mahomes, Rodgers, etc. He says he wants to be the best of all-time, but there’s no way that’s possible (anymore). Especially playing for a team that had no draft picks in the next few years either.
Field Marshal Hague Offense
So, what should the 2nd half game plan be on offense? Feed Carson + quick throws?
I think we need to set up Russ with some easy reads. The “drop back and see if anyone is open” is not working for him in his current state.
In my view they need to say eff it and run as many times in a row as they can coming out. I don’t care if it’s run, run, run punt for 3 yards. Passing game is nonexistent.
Feed David Moore
J/K
They heard you, Robb!!
Russ’s goose is cooked
On the positive side, our D is matching the one of the Rams, which is top.
Seems like defenses have figured out how to defend lockett
I think Ds figired out RW and our gameplan. And the result is lockett and dk having more struggles cuz RW is hesitating and missing reads/throws.
RW can’t even microwave a hot pocket right now.
I think they need to run the ball and feed dk the ball. Maybe try some more rollouts.
Schotty has had how many weeks to adjust to how defenses are playing us. Why hasn’t there been any improvements?
Possibly because Wilson is playing like utter crap
Definitely could be the answer.
The next turnover will determine the game.
Both of these teams are doing nothing in the postseason.
Feed David Moore, see.
WR1
ESTABLISH THE MOORE
Moore has his one circus catch per game
RW with his first career sack.
Finally, establish D Moore, just like we’ve been asking!
Ha! You were right SeaMode
“wHo CoUlD tHeY sIgN tHo iN FA?”
Leonard Floyd.
Well, it’s like you’ve said before, they put all their chips in the Clowney basket early and hung around too long
I was a VERY big Leonard Floyd fan, that length wouldve been amazing at LEO.
Much, much better. Get out of the pocket and make a play. Get those RW legs and improv going.
Love the play to Moore, hate the decision.
I was going to ask why we suck at 3rd down, we have weapons and good o-line. Wilson missing high percentage conversions for going for big plays.
Thank god for that
Savvy play by Wilson there to score
Yeah Russ come on, it was getting painful to watch…
Finally a TD in this boring ass game
+1
Much needed!
Now please no let down defense
Come on defence don’t relax keep the foot on goffs throat.
Huh, I grabbed a glass of whisky and things immediately got better. That’s definitive evidence: whisky makes everything better.
😀
I’ll join you, salud!!
Get drinking
😂😂😂 🍸
That was the first drive in a long time where Russ looked like himself.
They start running bootleg plays or otherwise getting him on the run and suddenly Russ looks like a different quarterback. Hmmm…
Its like RW needs these big chunk plays. He seems to get in a groove when he hits a couple deep passes. Everything tends to click. But when you remove all deep shots. He panics and cant sustain drives. You get these long lulls in game. We need to fix the intermediate chain moving offense.
FFS Suprise fucking suprise…
Ugly whiff by Griffin and Wagner
Who is God?
A) A bearded man in the sky
B) A force beyond comprehension
C) Leonard Floyd against the Seahawks
The defense is going to give up a quick td aren’t they? Lol
Of course they are how totally seahawks of them
Yes they are
Nope.
🤑🤑🤑
Glad I was wrong. You have a lot more optimism in the hawks than I do 😂
It’s a ok squad
Come on ffs
Good job Joe the running back’s name is Henderson not Adams
I can’t believe Adams even caught Henderson from behind like that. It’s not like Henderson is slow.
Ran a 4.49 at the combine. Adams is excellent in pursuit
Ugh
..the ankle.is not meant to twist like that.😬
Fantastic play by Brooks
Jordyn brooks is getting better every week!
MAKE EM EARN IT
What is Pete doing????
There was no clear recovery.
A total waste of a challenge and timeout.
He’s always been the worst at challenging
I love his challenges tbh
Even his body language said said, “what the hell…I’ll give it a shot.”
He just doesnt value the timeout, clearly.
What a stupid thing to do in what will certainly be a close game at the end.
Not a good challenge. They aren’t going to award Seahawks the ball here.
Jordyn had 2 great plays. What is Pete challenging there?
Is there a secret camera angle available to PC? Because there’s no way in hell he’s winning that challenge otherwise.
It’s one of the worst challenges of the season.
Clear fumble but NO clear recovery
Boy I don’t know about this challenge. Gives the Rams a chance to regroup and get some momentum back after 3 straight stuffs.
How’s there ever been a worse had coach when it comes to challenges in the NFL?
Has
every fanbase says that, I don’t think pete is bad with challenges, although this was a bad one
No matter what happens on 4th down, I am kind of proud of this defense today.
the defense had the momentum
1,2,3, drink
Just giving mcvay more time to dial up a play.
Would Pete have called timeout there on 4th down to get a look at the play call? If so, why not challenge?
^
I think this is more pete wanting a timeout and just using a challenge for it.
That is very generous
They used it to implement the super elite run defense package that stuffed that play 😉
Wow! Take that momentum defense!
There’s brooks again!
Excellent stop! This defense is stepping up at the right time
D-FENSE!
KJ!
So proud of the defense!
99 yd drive time
This defense, man!
Monster stop. If this doesn’t help give the defense some momentum nothing will.
Why does everything great, ride on the back of something stupid with this team. Either way, great stop.
Can you imagine how loud the 12s would be on that play!
Who else fired up
No
It’s late over there, I dont blame you ☺
Oh, believe me. I can get fired up late too. That’s not the reason.
🛌 🛌 🛌
Brooks living up to his draft position, good stuff
KJ made that play on the GL to be fair
Still don’t live the pick but he’s clearly the best 1st rounder in a long time.
At this point, I’ll take any good 1st rd pick from hawks.
Brilliant! 🙄🤦🏻♂️
Three throws on your own goal line?
24 throws
14 runs
Of course.
The hurry up on 3rd down too. Why?!
They double-team Sebastian-Joseph-Day and leave AD singled on Simmons
That sky cam angle is TERRIBLE
No idea what happened on that kick return
The NFL coverage this year has been about as good as the quality of play on the field. Brutal.
How in the world did we not get that recovery?!
WHO ELSE FIRED UP????
I applaud your persistence /shrug.
Applaud Cody Barton on his way to Canton!!!!!!!!!! /jk
A recovery would’ve been gargantuan
Another missed opportunity. If only this team could limit mistakes and capitalize on these huge plays!
Cody Barton special teams god
+1
Last game I asked if fans would be ok if the best he ever got was Heath Farwell.
Russell Wilson is the #1 problem with this football team. He’s playing SCARED. Celebrity life = no toughness or swagger
I agree Russ is playing lien crap but I don’t think anyone can question his toughness. Come on man that guys has never even missed a practice despite the pounding he has taken over the years.
Agreed. Dude is nails tough. Hes earned his stripes. He just needs to be better on reads and game management.
I’ve seen “tough” Russ. There is no way at all I would describe his current play as tough. He’s playing scared and soft.
Schottenheimer is the problem today. No awareness. No humility.
Will there be fans at playoff games?
Probably not in Seattle
Oh for crying out loud close them out on 3rd down
Yes my frustration with giving up 3rd n long is through the roof
10 runs for Carson in a game you are leading
24 passes vs 12 runs (not including scrambles)
Mostly this is down to their awful third down numbers
But this isn’t Pete ball, at least not an effective version
Establishing the run and carson should have been number
1 priority.
They’rere getting killed on 3rd downs on both sides of the ball. Why wont they lean on their run game?
It’s baffling. Especially when you have Carson, Hyde and Penny in the lineup
Havent even seen penny
The playcalls on their own 1 were garbage.
Incredible. Just run it there!
And risk a safety against a stacked box? Didn’t hate that they went pass heavy there. On 3rd and 3 they could run, sure.
Yep
Awesome Alton
I’m telling ya, Robinson is ok. Fairly savvy pass rusher as a raw rookie. Just needs more snaps.
Has KJ been our best defender this year??
Yes
Yes
KJ Continues to play like he’s five years younger.
Now a long drive and TD
PLEASE
Jared Goff ur thumb is nasty yo
Yes…as long as we avoid any 3rd down plays.
Seems like all of Robinsons 4 sacks on the year have been at key times. As a 5th round rookie he seems like a quality long term rotational DE.
Props to him, but that was a total coverage sack. I want to see a pass rusher just flat out beat their man 1v1 sometime this season.
Its time to play pete ball!
Brooks, Lewis, Alton – we made at least 3 good picks this year.
I would add Swain to that list.
For all the crap we’ve given him (and well-deserved), respect to Goff there for toughing it out with the thumb injury. Ouch.
Jared Tuff
Can we run the read option every play this drive
Still not running the ball
This defense man
I’d try with Hyde
The offensive design and play selection has been god awful for 5-6 weeks now. More slants to Metcalf and north / south running with Carson would be a nice start.
Nice to see Penny get a carry
Nice hesi by Penny in the hole to make that happen
That is unacceptable by DK Metcalf
Him jogging back when we were trying to spike it at the end of the half
Agree, it was a very questionable flag though. I like the Carson/penny 2 back set
Just laziness! Get set!!!
His lackadaisical play at times is an issue. He needs to clean up his play and mature a little. Still, his ceiling is incredible.
Yup.
A lot of potential but still an awful lot of improvement to be had (including his hands).
Poor refereeing. Blow that play dead before someone gets hurt unnecessarily and that phantom illegal motion call.
Carson at FB? Ron Rivera is that you????
Man what a ticky tack call on DK.
Absolutely cheated by the officials
No way. That’s on DK.
Sucks, but that’s a lack of focus by DK there. I think he’s frustrated again Ramsey shutting him down.
Not really. He was rocking back and forth. Call it an illegal shift or a false start. Doesn’t matter which
It’s a clear penalty. D.K. isn’t concentrating.
Preaching to the choir
hmmmm……..
Those tricky tack bullshit penalties are what drives me nuts about the Seahawks and NFL in general. How did that have any impact what so ever on the play.
It’s not ticky tacky. He wasn’t set. He jogged over there and wasn’t ready. Jalen Ramsey spotted it right away and pointed at him. Awful from DK and cost them a drive.
Michael Dickson might be our best weapon!
Absent a turnover, the team that can put together one more sustained scoring drive will win this.
Is there any team in the league that looks dumber playing against the Rams than us? I bet there is not.
wow…just get the first down penny.
What a punt
Dickson again with a great punt. But it’s worrying we can’t get a couple of actions together.
Calls like that leave me thinking very dark thoughts.
DK has cost his team a TD by celebrating before he crossed the goal line and now a first down at a critical moment in the game where his team can clinch his division. Absolutely inexcusable lazy, mental lapses.
His demeanor has been terrible lately. Can’t help but think the dysfunction on offense is getting to him. *Not making excuses.
If I see one of our DBs get wiped out by a WR block again…
Shaquill Griffin.
FFS.
Goff playing without a thumb and we’re giving up plays like that
Griffin needs to go.
Their QB is hurt. Don’t let them run it on us!
Poona Ford making the tackle 20 yards downfield.
Inexcusable blown coverage/tackle by Griffin
You simply do not make a call like that that is so ticky tack in a game this big
Shaq griffin is such a soft player.
He seems like a nice dude and is athletic, he just doesn’t have that corner attitude.
Shaq has been getting eaten up all day
Yup. He has games where he completely shuts down poor competition and then has poor games against good opponents. Not good enough for CB1 money.
Jalen Ramsey telling Goff what to do there isn’t really a site I’d want to see if I was Sean McVay.
Not a good look.
The defensive backfield is holding up the best i’ve seen all season.
Nice play by Reed and at a great time. But I’ve seen enough of Rasheem Green. Pure looks like Tarzan/plays like Jane. What a disappointing prospect he turned out to be.
I HATE Troy Aikman…
100%
Credit to our defense! They came to play today!
RUN THE BALL YOU MORONS
Now that was a nifty play action pass to Lockett. More of that please.
North South runs with Carson instead of East West. Finally!
And to think they could’ve been running Carson up the middle all game.
Its almost like the run and play action, opens up the back end…weird.
Stuff it down they throats
Now that’s the russ we need to see
I’m liking this drive
Yay Tyler!!!
Since DJ Reed became a starter the secondary is so much better.
DK drawing the double team
Sure, just keep running out of bounds guys.
Come on, don’t let this drive stall here!
If you woulda told me after the first 8 games our defense would be the savior of our season, I would have thought you were mad. 2020 folks
Rams defense so good at not losing contain. They cover the LOS in transition really well.
DK forcing the first down!
We are gonna pull this off but I still can’t help but see a team that will have a quick playoff appearance and be done.
If we had the same offense as in the 1st half of the season, and this defense, I’d say we could be just fine.
Let’s go! DK!
DK Truckcalf
Offense starts rolling and clock managment issues rear their disfigured head. SMH
This has been a quality drive so far
True finally mixing it up
woah, a rare positive comment
Get the TD here and game over.
I hope DK didn’t get a stinger on that 3rd down conversion. He came down awkward on his head.
It’s Lockett time IMO.
A first down here would be enormous.
are we playing for 3???
NO WE’RE NOT!!!!
Play action to the TE
Close
Hollister! Gorgeous touch by RW!
Yeah that’s it, awesome Jacob! Scared my dog…
Proper. Like it should be.
WooooHoooooo!
Jason is still spot on!
Eat S***, Rams
Amazing how much better the offense looks when they run the ball.
Okay, all the past doesn’t matter. We need Russ to be great for 2:56.
*fist pump*
Let’s gooooooooooo!!!!!
Let’s GOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Now thats big boy football!!!!!
IS THAT A DIVISION TITLE I’M SMELLING!?!?!?!? WOOOOHOOOO
Was that basically the same play we missed the TD on earlier due to the defensive holding?
This win has to be a confidence booster against the Rams if nothing else,
Can I get fired up again?
That route by Hollister
Easy win I said all along 😁
Division champs has to get us all fired up a little I hope.
You’d think but……
That was Schotty. Perfect playcall of Post-Wheel against man
Pleasantly surprised that we are 2 mins from division title!
Dunlap the closer incoming…
Come on, defense. End this. Click, clock, tick!
Close it out defense.
Just make them earn it.
D finish this game out!
What a statement win by this Defense
I’m still hesitant…Goff is terrible. Great performance…but we haven’t seen it against a good offense, yet.
WAAAA!!!!
What a goof by Reynolds
I think he gave himself up.
Im crying!!!!!!!
Who would have imagined after the Janikowski / Ryan fiasco year that the Hawks would have the best kicking duo in the league.
hahahaha!
Rams can’t be real with that!
BOOOOOOOOOOO!
Is the clock supposed to stop on that offensive penalty?
That Rams offense really missed Cam Akers today.
No fun league!
No Fun League
where you at dunlap…need a finishing sack
Man this Seahawks defense just showing up
I have been critical of this defense all year but they played a quality game today. Hopefully a launching pad into the playoffs. The additions of DJ Reed and Dunlap have been huge.
Seahawks looking like Super Bowl contenders.
Wow, what a maddening, frustrating, fun game (once I knew we were going to win! 😉 )
It would be the biggest win of the year.
One more play
So when dk drops ball before entering endzone against dallas is giving himself up then right?! Cuz intention is he gave up on play? I get the reynolds call, but thats a bonehead play that is not the intent of the rule. He wasnt giving him self up to avoid a hit.
Our D! Great game defense!
pass rush is what puts games away, hopefully they keep swarming
Ken norton deserves a ton of credit for turning this defense around.
I want to see us go toe to toe with a good offense without a backup/crippled QB and a 3rd string RB before I say that.
Good to see Jarran Reed back out there. Must have just got the wind knocked out of him.
And out there making the play
Finally a convincing win over the Rams. By gar it’s been a while
no fans but the most important 12 was there today…PGA
we are NFC CHAMPIONS once again!
DIVISION CHAMPS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!
HELL YEAH!
oops…yes, DIVISION CHAMPS
Now it is all love from Toy and Joe for Seattle. Assholes!
I don’t get the hate.
I’ve always found the dislike of the pair weird.
Two quality broadcasters IMO
That last drive was a championship drive
Yessir it was!
NFC WEST CHAMPS 2020!
!!!
Yeah, baby!
It wasn’t pretty, but we got it done.
Why aren’t we just kneeling?
NFC West Division Champions!!!
GO HAWKS!!
That was the Christmas present for the 12s. Great win, hope more to come in playoffs.
The division champs are back!!!!
This is a real confidence builder. Seahawks throw off their Rams jinx and win the NFC West. Go Hawks!
Defense winning these games lately, gotta credit Dunlap and DJ Reed for the improvements. Seem to allow the other guys to play their roles, and less confusion in the secondary. Adams is good, but his place in the D still just seems awkward.
Well, not blitzing him on 75% of the snaps is a good start for sure!
I love having him out there – yes, he cost too much, and yes, he may not be worth the contract we are going to have to pay to retain him – I accept all of that – – but in the moment, for the rest of this season, I’m just enjoying seeing a guy flying around like he does. Love the way he bangs into the bitz pick-ups, love how he’s always slapping every teammates hand, love his speed in pursuit.
Sexy defense, loved the energy and the heart they showed during 3rd and 4th quarter.
BTW, officially…GO TITANS!
Chiefs 14-1, ho hum.
Must be nice when the other teams can’t even turn out a .500 record lol.
They have road wins against the Saints, Bills, Ravens, and Bucs.
I like how we stayed aggressive on the rams last drive.
A lot to like about that 2nd half man . . .
What a fantastic all-around game by our defense, Adams all over the field, his energy lifts the energy of the entire unit. And Reed is an absolute fantastic find. having him and Shaq (didn’t have a great game, but he ain’t tre flowers) makes us so much more stable. Really proud of how the defense played all game.
And maybe, just maybe, Russ shook off some of that bad mojo that has had all of us scratching our heads the past 5 weeks, that key 3rd down conversion to Hyde, the floater to Lockett, the final TD to Hollister — all those plays looked like the Russell we know.
Props to the Rams defense, they’re excellent, nothing easy in the pass or run game against them. And to Goff too – just played right through that ugly thumb dislocation.
All-in, our defense hung right in there with the #1 defense in football, and our offense was just a bit better – it was a well-earned win. Division champs again and it feels good!
No shout out for KJ?
totally fair! he was great today too.
Race for NFC home-field advantage:
Seahawks clinch with:
Win plus New Orleans loss plus Green Bay loss vs. Bears
