Sea Hawkers Podcast: for Seattle Seahawks fans

The wait is over! The 2024 NFL season is here, and we're kicking things off with our focus on the Seattle Seahawks Week 1 matchup against the Denver Broncos. The offensive firepower of Kenneth Walker and DK Metcalf under new offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb have us particularly excited after watching the first team offense in the preseason. We thought we couldn't be more hyped for the start of the season. But it turns out there was an announcement this week that has us even more excited to see our team on the field for the home opener. What will the debut of rookie quarterback Bo Nix look like against the Seahawks new defensive strategies under Mike Macdonald? Will Grubb's strategy lean towards a high-octane passing game or will he balance it with a powerful ground attack? These are just a couple of the questions that we explore. Plus, a look at which Seahawks were signed to the practice squad after the 53-man roster was set last week. In the second half of the episode, we talk about two lists that had some of us riled up to close out the preseason. It's also pick'em season!

Our league overlord makes an appearance to start the season to explain a couple of the important rules, plus the consequences for not following her orders. Do better call outs go to the media for always leaving the NFC West out until the end of coverage and to the coverage of an attempted robbery of a rookie wide receiver. Adam has an announcement about being wrong in his Better at Life segment and a former rival appears to be changing his stripes during his media appearances.

The wait is over! The initial 53-man roster has been announced, and the latest episode of the Sea Hawkers Podcast is here to break it all down for you. From the areas of the team with the most amount of depth to the areas that still remain the biggest concern, we dive into the roster decisions and what they could mean for the upcoming season.

The Seahawks wrapped up their preseason with a thrilling 37-33 victory over the Cleveland Browns. We dive into the highs and lows of this high-scoring affair. Geno Smith and the starting offense displayed lightning-quick efficiency of their opening drive. Geno's precision, especially his connection with JSN, and his recognition of one-on-one coverage with the DK Metcalf touchdown has us all intrigued for the first week of the season. Despite some concerns, like the injury to Uchenna Nwosu and the penalties that marred the game, there were plenty of positives. Kenny McIntosh's 56-yard scamper and D'Wayne Eskridge's punt return showcased the scoring potential. On the defensive side, Jarran Reed's sack, facilitated by Leonard Williams, was a top highlight.

Seahawks fans saw glimmers of potential from both quarterbacks in Week 1 of the preseason. But in Week 2, one quarterback clearly stood out between the two. We dissect the play of Sam Howell against the Titans and talk about where the depth chart stands among the three quarterbacks on the roster. Other position battles are a key focus of the episode. We discuss the competition on the offensive line, particularly between Anthony Bradford and Christian Haynes. Are Jason Myers' struggles on extra points a cause for concern going into the regular season. If Myers is familiar with playing golf, we have some tips that we think could help him because he's been perfect when kicking his field goals. Defensively, the standout player has been Derek Hall, who has shown significant improvement and strength. We also talk about the Tyrice Knight and his potential as a fourth round draft pick. In the second half of the show, we talk about the news that Bo Nix has been named the starter for Week 1 of the regular season. However, there is still no news regarding some of the contract holdouts for the Niners. We call out the Chargers social media team and the analysis of Geno Smith's social media posts. Better at Life honors go out to Coach K and Pete Carroll. Support the show Get in the Flock!

Get ready for the Seahawks 2024 season with all the insights you need in our annual season expectation show! We break down each position group, and discuss the impact of the new coaching staff. From Geno Smith's potential comeback player of the year chances to the dynamic wide receiver trio of DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Running backs also get their fair share of attention. Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet are expected to be dynamic forces in both the running and passing game. Defensively, the excitement continues starting with the defensive backs and the top corners in particular. The linebacker group, while a bit more uncertain, shows some promise. The defensive line, however, is where the most potential for dominance exists. ' In the latter half of the show, we talk about some of the changes we've seen with the new coaching staff and how some fans are approaching those differences. Do better call outs go out to Facebook/Meta and to a writer who is in the pocket of all-you-can-eat deals. We close out Better at Life honoring an 11-year-old for his football skills. Plus, a member of the flock joins in to thank the Seahawks and USAA for a unique training camp experience. Support the show Get in the Flock!

The Seattle Seahawks kicked off their preseason with a bang, securing a 16-3 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. Winning is better than losing (even in the preseason), especially when it comes with such a dominant defensive performance. Special teams also had their moments in the spotlight. Michael Dickson was in mid-season form, delivering some impressive punts, including one that pinned the Chargers down at their own two-yard line. On the offensive side, Sam Howell took the reins for the first half and part of the second, completing 16 of 27 passes for 130 yards and a touchdown. The running game saw Kenny McIntosh and George Holani competing for the third-string job, with McIntosh finishing with eight carries for 40 yards and Holani six carries for 24 yards. We also get into the performances on defense, as rookies D.J. James and Byron Murphy had standout plays for the Seahawks. Support the show Get in the Flock!

We're breaking down the news of Connor Williams signing with the Seattle Seahawks! From the impact of adding a Pro Bowl-caliber center to the roster, to how it will benefit the offensive line and key players like Geno Smith and Kenneth Walker. We get into Williams' history, his transition from guard to center, and his impressive performance with the Dolphins despite injury setbacks.

Preseason football games have officially kicked off. While the Hall of Fame game might not have caught everyone's attention, the buzz around the Seahawks' training camp certainly has. We dive into the latest news from camp and the relief of dodging a major bullet with Geno Smith's injury scare. While some initial reports suggested that Geno was "out indefinitely," Adam Schefter's report on Friday provided some relief. Support the show Get in the Flock!

Despite reaching the NFC Championship game four out of the last five years and making it to two Super Bowls, the 49ers have yet to secure a championship ring. In the third and final episode of the 2024 Know Your Rival series, we break down the 49ers' playoff woes, Kyle Shanahan's legacy, and what to expect this season. Will the Seahawks or Rams find a way to overtake the Niners and win the division? Can the 49ers overcome their history of choking in big games? We discuss many of the 49ers' offseason moves, particularly the changes on their defensive line. The loss of key players like Eric Armstead and Javon Kinlaw could be a significant blow, especially when combined with the aging roster. The hosts discuss how these changes might affect the 49ers' ability to dominate in the trenches. In the second half of the show, we talk Seahawks training camp and the lack of news around the signing of Connor Williams. Byron Murphy was involved with thwarting an online extortion scheme, which could prove to be useful if we deploy it against our division rivals. Do better call outs go to Brock Purdy and the NFL Network, while Better at Life honors go to scientists for their new findings about Mercury and to a Mariners fan for unselfishly giving up a milestone baseball to a rival.

For Seattle Seahawks fans, there's a special kind of 'sports hate' reserved for the Los Angeles Rams. In the latest episode of our Know Your Rival series, we break down everything you need to know about the Rams from coaching and personnel changes to some of the hype surrounding their upcoming season. Can the Seahawks new Head Coach Mike Macdonald solve Hair Gel McVay's offense? At the very least, now that Aaron Donald has retired, it should make scoring points on a weakened LA defense that much easier. In the second half of the show, we discuss Jamal Adams and his new home, plus the date and opponent of the throwback jersey game has been announced. Some nearby woodpeckers and an entire town both need to Do Better. Finally, Better at Life honors go out to a legend of his industry who recently passed away and to Slate for putting a spotlight on "window seat wasters." Support the show Get in the Flock!

It's Know Your Rival season and we are kicking things off with a deep dive look at the Arizona Cardinals. Despite some potentially smart draft picks, the Cardinals' decision to stick with Kyler Murray and a difficult start to their 2024 schedule may doom their chances in the NFC West. But that wouldn't be anything new to the franchise. How does the Cardinals roster stack up? While they've made some major changes by jettisoning long-time veterans, could they still make a significant leap. In the second half of the show, we talk about potential ownership changes for the Seahawks and have some fun with hypothetical presidential tickets that includes a former member from the Legion of Boom era. Callouts to do better go out toward a nonsensically vindictive state politician and a current NBA player. Tune in to find out why Gardner Minshew and the Seahawks organization are "Better At Life."

Before Russell Wilson left Seattle, he appeared to be on a trajectory toward the Hall of Fame. Nine Pro Bowl seasons, two Super Bowl appearances and a championship put him into some elite company among NFL quarterbacks. But is his Hall of Fame candidacy now in jeopardy due to his recent seasons? And how do fans really feel about his legacy in Seattle? Some fans refuse to place him on their Mount Rushmore of top Seahawks players. Is this refusal purely analytical or is it based on emotion? If Russ doesn't belong among the team's top four, do some Seahawks fans even want him in the HOF? Support the show Get in the Flock!

In an off-season of major changes some Seahawks are making waves in OTAs and beyond while others are flying completely under the radar.

Seahawks OTAs wrapped up this week and we had a chance to hear from a few players on offense, as well as our new offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb. We heard a consistent message from players like Geno Smith, Pharoah Brown and Sam Howell about the offense being "quarterback friendly" which translates into a lot of downfield throws. But Grubb's message was a little bit different in talking about play action and having to adjust from the college to the professional game. Can both these things be true or is something missing? We also picked up on a trait that stands out from Coach Grubb in his transition from college to the NFL. It's a personality trait that a lot of the failed college coaches don't seem to have. We learned this week that head coach Mike Macdonald has dreams about some of his Seahawks players, and he made a tactical decision to avoid naming names. Jay Harbaugh talked extensively about the new kick off rule and we're here to talk about the highlights (we may even want to talk about this more on future shows). In the second half of the show, we have an announcement regarding the games we plan to meet up with the Flock at during the 2024 season. We're looking at going to at least one road game and one home game. We call out a writer at CBS for a trade strategy that doesn't make much sense for the 2024 season and a national chain for randomly inserting themselves into random transactions.

OTAs are underway and the Seahawks sent Geno Smith, Rayshawn Jenkins, and Multiple Mike to the podium to share updates and impressions from the early days of the Macdonald era. What were the biggest clues? Does Macdonald actually like Geno or is he dropping hints that Howell is a long term answer? And with a crowded safety room is Rayshawn an early chosen leader?

A recent poll by SB Nation says that around 70% of Seahawks fans have expectations for the team to make the playoffs in 2024. As a first year head coach, is that a reasonable expectation for Mike Macdonald? What are some of the wild card factors that are playing into a potential Wild Card match? We also take a look at one of the reasons why fans should be excited -- because there aren't a lot of teams who should be considered a "playoff lock." It's such an open playing field that even the Chicago Bears with a rookie quarterback are favorite to make the playoffs. Support the show Get in the Flock!

The 2024 NFL Schedule is out and that means we have at least 18 weeks of Seahawks football planned out for the fall. We give a mini preview of each week's slate of matchups before getting into what everyone really wants to know -- how the NFL is out to ensure our Seahawks get buried in the standings. While the schedule is front-loaded with a lot of home matchups, Seattle's opponents are getting consistently more days to prepare for their games. We also discuss which games should be circled on the calendar and where we want to see our throwback uniforms highlighted.

It's time to debate! Draft season is over and list season is upon us! Brandan, Mr. Phil and Clinton delve deep to debate who is the most important player on offense and defense, and no, they couldn't pick Geno Smith. So who wins it and in the end, did we all win?

As the dust settles on the 2024 NFL Draft, we dissect the Seahawks' draft strategy and the potential impact of the new recruits. A post draft show means draft calls! We hear the players' reactions and we talk about the numbers they'll be playing in. What does each player need to do to become the greatest Seahawks player to wear that number. Can they do it? In the second half of the show, we talk about our Rookie Minicamp takeaways and why Mike Macdonald might be acting like Pete Carroll's age when it comes to running a practice. Austin Rivers made some waves this week talking about how NFL players would fare in the NBA and vice versa. But which sport would be the most difficult for any professional athlete to transition to and which athletes have the best chance to make it in all other sports? Do Better call outs go toward any writers still trying to trade the Seahawks best players and to a Niners Nation writer for hyping an odd signing for the 49ers.

EJ Snyder of Bootleg Football returns to the show to break down the Seahawks draft class from his perspective. Did the Seahawks have any other choice but to draft Byron Murphy with their first round pick? EJ reveals where he had Christian Haynes graded out as a "true guard" among his list of draftable guards. Tyrice Knight may have been a head scratcher for some, but it was not a surprise for EJ based on the types of things he was asked to do in college. We go through the Seahawks draft class including the undrafted free agent (UDFA) class and talk about some of the players we see as most likely able to make the team and if they may be a better fit at a different position from college.

The Seahawks 2024 Draft Class is set and there were a few common themes that jumped out from their draft strategy. First, this may have been the most need-based draft the Seahawks have produced in recent years. They picked guards that play guard, they addressed the defensive line and linebacker all within their first few picks. Second, with many of these picks, they talked about their versatility. Does it give us some clues about what they may have planned for the offense and defense? We run through each of the day 3 picks and talk about some of our overall thoughts on this year's class.

It's a lot easier to project where a player will play in the NFL when they start at one position their entire college career. Christian Haynes is simply a right guard who was a four-year starter at the University of Connecticut. We discuss his athleticism that stood out in his workouts as well as on the field and how his play could provide an immediate upgrade for the Seahawks in the screen game. Will he supplant Anthony Bradford immediately this year? Plus, we discuss a couple names we're going to watch for with the Seahawks next two picks in the fourth round.

The top half of the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft skewed heavily toward the offense. Quarterbacks, wide receivers and offensive tackles made up the top 12 picks. Seattle stayed put as Byron Murphy II, the top interior defender in the draft, fell to them with the 16th overall pick. After taking Devon Witherspoon last year, the Seahawks have now taken the second defensive player off the board in back-to-back drafts. How will Murphy fit into a rotation that already includes Jarran Reed, Leonard Williams, Dre'Mont Jones, Johnathan Hankins, Cam Young, Mike Morris and Myles Adams? Support the show Get in the Flock!

Through the first three parts of our 2024 quarterback draft series, we've evaluated the top late-round picks all the way up to the QBs at the top of the draft. But where should the Seahawks get involved? It's possible at least four quarterbacks come off the board in the top 10. It could be even more, based on the number of QB-needy teams and the talent available. What would it take for the Seahawks to get into the top 10? If that's too spicy, would it be worth it to jump ahead of the Denver Broncos? Of course, John Schneider could just wait and see what shakes out -- then take one of the biggest sleepers among our top seven quarterbacks. Support the show Get in the Flock!

In the third part of our look at the quarterbacks in the 2024 NFL draft, we get into Adam's top three. With the focus primarily toward a QB's floor than his ceiling, the list ranks out differently than many might expect. While others are focused on playing off schedule, the ability to change arm angles and some of the 'wow' moments--we focus more on the things that make solid pro quarterbacks. How do Bo Nix, Jaden Daniels, and Drake Maye rank out? We discuss their strengths, weaknesses and potential in the NFL. Support the show Get in the Flock!

Caleb Williams will likely be the first quarterback off the board in the 2024 NFL Draft, but should he be? We get into the upside and downside of four different quarterbacks in the second part of our series detailing this year's draft picks. And while we rank out JJ McCarthy, Caleb Williams, Michael Penix and Jordan Travis, some will need time or coaching to have the best opportunity to succeed. Support the show Get in the Flock!

Throughout the years, even if the Seahawks have needed a quarterback or not, we like to go through the latest crop of NFL quarterback candidates and pick out our favorites. Adam's track record has been solid and rather than bury it in one of our flagship episodes, we're giving it it's own series. In part, because of the amount of depth in this year's 2024 class. We talk about the methodology for evaluating a quarterback, a couple of quarterbacks who may go late or undrafted, and where some of the other QBs may fit. This group fell outside of the Top 7 quarterbacks we'll be talking about on future episodes. Support the show Get in the Flock!

The Seahawks signed a veteran receiver Laviska Shenault to the roster this past week. Should we read into the signing as to what may be in store for the Seahawks offense, or is he some insurance in case another receiver doesn't work out? John Schneider was on the radio this week and talked in generalities about the draft and based on his comments, we aren't likely to see any drastic changes in draft strategy. It's clear to fans the team could use a versatile offensive lineman early in the draft, but will the Seahawks general manager follow that same line of thought? Support the show Get in the Flock!

The NFL passed some new rules this week around bringing the kickoff back into the game and taking out swivel hip drop tackles. Seems like a fair trade off. We're getting closer to having a sky judge with another rule change that, if it goes well, most of us won't even notice that it's working. General Manager John Schneider says the offensive line is a work in progress, but there isn't much that can be done to improve it apart from the draft. But the draft won't be able to fix the amount of inexperience on the line heading into the 2024 season. Coach Mike Macdonald says the defense needs a solid spine. That could be another area that could continue to be improved through the draft. Finally, the waffles versus pancakes debate should be over. But is it time to introduce a new entrant into the mix?

Now that the NFC West has passed through the first couple waves of free agency, we run down some of the biggest moves by the Seattle Seahawks competitors. Did the Los Angeles Rams win free agency by spending on the offensive line? Or are they the biggest losers because their Hall of Fame defender decided to pack up his locker and call it a career? The Arizona Cardinals have four new starters in the trenches. It would be bigger news if they were players you've actually heard of. Plus, they may have made the most boneheaded trade in the entire conference. Then there's the San Francisco 49ers. They're making some key moves, but they didn't do the one thing that could help them overcome a devastating Super Bowl loss. We take a look at a few areas the Seahawks still need to address through free agency and the draft.

We are days away from the start of the NFL's new league year and the beginning of free agency. Where do the Seahawks currently stand with players currently under contract? Seattle has depth at running back, wide receiver and cornerback. However, it's quite the opposite when it comes to tight end, interior offensive line and linebacker. Based on the areas where they're deficient, it should make it clear where they'll attack free agency and potentially the draft. Support the show Get in the Flock!

Dan Viens of the Seahawks Forever podcast joins the show to look ahead at this week's NFL Combine. Which position groups is he most interested in for Seattle as we head into draft season? Considering the coaching change, have we seen the last of Bobby Wagner for the Seahawks?

Michael Penix is expected to throw, which is exciting considering the condition we saw him in following the National Championship.

A week after the Super Bowl and we're still celebrating a 49ers loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. For a third time, Kyle Shanahan has been involved in a game where he's been up 10+ points and lost. Despite reports of players not knowing the overtime rules and whether or not the 49ers took the ball first, does it even really matter? Did it even matter that the overtime rules have changed? It seemed like the 49ers were simply destined to lose that game based on several second half misfires. The Seahawks new coaching staff is taking shape and we heard from Ryan Grubb, Aden Durde and Jay Harbaugh this past week. Which hire represents the biggest risk among the group and what are some common themes now that we see the leadership of the staff coming together? Geno Smith continues to be under contract, but is he here to stay for the long term? We discuss why we may be in for a couple months of Geno Smith trade talk leading up to the draft. There are two former Seahawks entering the Pro Football Hall of Fame after last week's announcements. There are a couple members of the Legion of Boom who look to be a lock and one who could get snubbed based on how we've seen voting go historically.

Last year the Seahawks drafted four players who we watched in the Senior Bowl, and it was five players the year before that. In fact, John Schneider has drafted a player from the college all-star game in each of his seasons has a general manager. So it makes sense to take a hard look at each of the players there who could be a potential fit for Seattle. EJ Snyder of Bootleg Football joins the show to talk about four players on defense and one offensive lineman who has already been mocked to the Seahawks with their 16th overall pick.
