The Seattle Seahawks announced a flurry of roster moves ahead of their Week 13 match-up against the Minnesota Vikings.

Earl Thomas named Hall of Fame semi-finalist

Why is it that the Denver Broncos are so often inclined to assist the Seattle Seahawks in every which way? In the 2009 NFL Draft, Josh McDaniels, et al, were desperate to draft a cornerback by the name of Alphonso Smith. The Broncos, in their mind, needed to move up in the second round to […]

Seahawks adding Super Bowl champion running back

The Seattle Seahawks have made a somewhat surprising move, letting go of a cornerback who made a couple of big plays early in the season. Derion Kendrick, claimed off of waivers by the Seahawks after roster cutdown day in August, was waived on Tuesday in the team’s sole transaction. Considering no one was signed to […]

Seahawks bringing back former Pro Bowl safety Quandre Diggs

A familiar face is back with the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks are widely considered to be one of the better teams in the NFL this season, and roster depth has no doubt played a role in their ascension. Consider the fact that eight players at key positions have hit the IR in the past several […]

Seahawks could have 3 more players placed on injured reserve

The Seattle Seahawks came away with a road win over the Tennessee Titans as expected, but not without multiple injuries in which every player was ruled out by halftime. Linebacker and special teams contributor Chazz Surratt, running back and kick returner George Holani, and backup safety Ty Okada all left Seattle’s 30-24 victory in the […]

Seahawks Snap Reactions: Grey Zabel goes the distance vs. Titans

One of the more impressive and encouraging things from the Seattle Seahawks’ 30-24 win over the Tennessee Titans was the mere fact that Grey Zabel even played. What looked to be a significant knee injury against the Los Angeles Rams turned out to be something minor, yet something that could’ve reasonably been construed as causing […]

Four Down Territory: Seahawks beat Titans, play like a 5-seed

Coming off a frustrating defeat last week against the Los Angeles Rams, the Seattle Seahawks took a trip back east and took care of business in a 30-24 victory over hapless Tennessee Titans.

Seahawks next progression comes in the running back passing game

It’s time for the Seattle Seahawks to involve their running backs in the passing game. No, no not like this: If Klint Kubiak doesn’t run a trick play the rest of the season I’ll write him a thank you card. I’m talking about a 100-yard game from Kenneth Walker. Just the third on the season, […]

How John Schneider and Mike Macdonald crafted the NFL’s deepest roster

The Seattle Seahawks remain squarely in the mix for the No. 1 seed in the NFC, on the strength of top-5 units across the board; offense, defense, and special teams. There’s a fourth category that often gets overlooked, but has equally contributed to Seattle’s success in a unique way. That would be roster members number […]

Words of Prey, Seahawks vs. Titans: Don’t be fooled, it wasn’t close

The full-strength Seattle Seahawks would defeat the Tennessee Titans on average by two scores. So, missing their starting inside linebacker, their center, strong safety, nosetackle, and even their top TD-maker on offense, it follows that they should win by three scores. They kinda did, and I don’t mean by three safeties. Until variance — a […]

Pete Carroll fires Chip Kelly as Raiders coaching disaster continues

Pete Carroll may be feeling the heat of a level of losing he’s never experienced and a level of incompetence that may not sit well with upper management. The former Seattle Seahawks head coach has had a wretched first (and only?) season in charge of the Las Vegas Raiders, and for the second time in […]
