Afer seven years of service as head coach for his alma mater, Thomas Hammock is set to take the next step of his football journey, reportedly accepting a job as a halfbacks coach on the Seattle Seahawks staff under Super Bowl champion head coach Mike MacDonald.

Lost in all of the excitement of the Seattle Seahawks winning the Super Bowl was the fact that we had 242 readers participate in our predictions survey before the magical season began. We had a mixture of registered accounts and anonymous ballots, which had some unintended consequences given the 0-17 submission we received. Anyway, how […]
On the way to laying claim to the title of Super Bowl champion, the Seattle Seahawks saw running backs coach Kennedy Polamalu first take a leave of absence and then leave the team entirely in early January. That didn’t stop Super Bowl MVP Ken Walker from lighting things up during the postseason, but it did […]

Little more than a week has passed since the Seattle Seahawks handily thumped the New England Patriots on the way to claiming the title as World Champions and hoisting the second Lombardi Trophy in franchise history. With the Super Bowl in the rear view mirror, that, of course, means that the offseason has arrived. Thus, […]
The Las Vegas Raiders have a new head coach, officially hiring former Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak after the Super Bowl. This means the Raiders will shift toward the Kyle Shanahan-Sean McVay style of offense, featuring a wide-zone heavy rushing attack and a lot of play-action concepts off of that in the passing game, […]
The window to slap the franchise tag on pending NFL free agents opened on Thursday. ESPN’s Adam Schefter may have caused a stir with his wording for what the Seattle Seahawks will (or won’t) do regarding Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III. His “league sources” indicate that the Seahawks are unlikely to tag him by […]
Rob Refsnyder was one of the worst players in MLB from 2015-2021. He’s now a crucial member of the Mariners’ title run. Refsnyder posted -1.0 fWAR in the seven years that followed his MLB debut in 2015. It wasn’t just one bad season but the slow accumulation of negative value across several years and teams. […]
When Mason Peters was selected out of Dallas Baptist in last year’s draft, the young left-hander was (perhaps fairly) overshadowed by several players capable of headlining a draft class by themselves. Kade Anderson, Nick Becker, and Luke Stevenson were all given first round grades last season, so Seattle managing to land all three was a […]

Primarily because the team has churned through so many in the past, a popular question among Las Vegas Raiders fans is how the organization went about its process to hire a new head coach. Well, Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer recently detailed how Las Vegas landed former Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak. “The Raiders wanted […]
As the offseason conversations pick up steam, those lists of “best free agents” available become hot topics. One thing you won’t find on those graphics: Seattle Seahawks offensive linemen. And for once, it’s not because they’re all terrible. It’s because none of them are free agents. 30 teams have at least one offensive lineman as […]
In Mariners news… Around the league…
The reports are starting to filter in from Peoria and we’re starting to get some downright tantalizing videos of pitchers throwing bullpens. Before we get too into the buzzy part of spring, or Overreact To Small Sample Size Theater, take this opportunity to stake your claim: which of the new Mariners arms are you predicting […]
The Seattle Seahawks are set to lose one more offensive assistant coach to Klint Kubiak’s Las Vegas Raiders staff. CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz reported on Monday evening that run game coordinator Rick Dennison is expected to leave Seattle for Vegas in an undisclosed role.

Dennison brings 30 years of NFL coaching experience to the Raiders. His first coaching job was in 1995 as an offensive assistant with the […]
The NFC West loses more than its fair share of assistant coaches every year to other teams. The Los Angeles Rams watched Mike LaFleur leave to join the division rival Arizona Cardinals. Klint Kubiak of the Seahawks and Robert Saleh of the 49ers also earned head coaching jobs. But LaFleur wasn’t the only coach poached […]

The Clearfield Area, Pennsylvania native spent four years at Pittsburgh as a quarterback and has bounced around with a variety of positions in his NFL […]
Three days ago, ESPN published a tongue-in-cheek article called “Why Your Team Didn’t Do What You Wanted This Winter.” In a spectrum that ran Dodgers-to-Rockies, the Mariners were thankfully much closer to the Dodgers side of things, but Bradford Doolittle, the author, did question why the Mariners didn’t get another lefty bullpen arm to help […]
When the Seattle Seahawks beat the Los Angeles Rams to win the NFC Championship Game, I was overcome with emotion in a way that I’ve never felt after any Seahawks victory in over 20 years as a fan. The Seahawks going back to the Super Bowl was one thing, but this also meant that I […]
A speculative look at how Seattle could tinker with a roster that just completed the trophy case
