Jay Harbaugh should be a contender for NFL Assistant Coach of the Year
What a difference a year makes. The Seattle Seahawks didn’t have a bad special teams unit last season under coordinator Jay Harbaugh; they even ranked 10th by FTN’s DVOA. But it was an often ruinous group with return specialists who were so game-damaging bad that they were let go in the same week after combining […]
Weren’t the new Seahawks offensive coaches supposed to fix the run game?
Following a 2024 season in which the run game of the Seattle Seahawks was non-existent for the majority of the year, head coach Mike Macdonald immediately moved on from offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb.

Behind Seahawks enemy lines preview, Week 17: Can Seattle stay hot against the Panthers?
On paper, this looks like a straightforward matchup.

The Carolina Panthers’ decisive game isn’t against the Seattle Seahawks, but against the […]

Seahawks All-22 film review: The good and bad from Seattle’s epic comeback vs. LA Rams
The Seattle Seahawks’ win over the Los ANgeles Rams felt like two very different football games stitched together by halftime adjustments.

Without typical stats, Devon Witherspoon playing like NFL’s best corner
The Seattle Seahawks lay claim to arguably the best defense in the NFL this year. There are those with gaudy numbers, like Ernest Jones’ 5 INTs as a linebacker, or Nick Emmanwori with…a bunch of everything. But the strength of this defense is on its cohesion, and it’s largely built on the backs of those […]
