I have mixed feelings about the behind the QB camera angle. In Madden, the camera is high enough that it gives you perspective. Right now, it's kind of hard to tell where the ball is in the air.
#SEAvsAZ
Jamal Adams’ intro last night was a tribute to Trabis Ward, below, who was shot and killed last week. Ward played college football with the Tennessee State Tigers, in addition signing with the St. Louis Rams in 2013.
Here is the
#Seahawks
new front seven:
DE Jadeveon Clowney
DT Jarran Reed
NT Poona Ford
DE Ziggy Ansah
LB Bobby Wagner
LB KJ Wright
LB Mychal Kendricks
Absolutely STACKED... And they have a rookie 1st round edge rusher in L.J. Collier to rotate in.
And then there was one: The
#Seahawks
are the only NFL team that still hasn’t placed a player on the Reserve/COVID-19 list since the regular season began.
Look there is plenty of blame to go around for the
#Seahawks
loss today but allowing 44 points is inexcusable. You can't expect Russell Wilson and this offense to make up for that deficit. Way too hard.
Ken Norton Jr. has to go. I just don't see how he can stay at this point.
Damien Lewis is the 10th(!) best guard in the NFL according to PFF. This is out of 56 guards with 500+ snaps.
#Seahawks
Dude has been lights out for Seattle. Amazing pick so far.
For the Jordyn Brooks can't cover crowd, he actually graded the HIGHEST in coverage this week per PFF. 76! Best of any LB and DB on the team.
#Seahawks
Damien Lewis ended the 2020 regular season as the 16th best guard in the NFL according to PFF. Grade of 70.2.
He allowed 3 sacks all season and was the 6th best run blocking guard too. Dude was good.
#Seahawks
Big news: The
#Seahawks
now have the
#2
overall pick with the Broncos losing to the Chiefs. Broncos have a worse S.O.S. than the Bears, which moves them up to take their spot!
Jamal Adams had a GREAT game today. Saved a touchdown. Diving pass break-up. Multiple good coverage stops and tackles in open space. Played lights out tonight.
#Seahawks
Would you rather have?
A) Frank Clark ($20.8m/yr for 5 yrs) + 2020-3rd + Jacob Martin + Barkevious Mingo
OR
B) Jadeveon Clowney ($16m franchise tag) + L.J. Collier + 2020-2nd
I am taking (B) every single time. A+ moves by
#Seahawks
John Schneider. Simply incredible.
Look at the verbiage that WalterFootball uses for players choosing to opt out... Claims Albert Wilson "quit on his team" for this decision even though he opted out to protect his family. What a disgrace.
I LOVE Marshawn Lynch... Here's another clip from the same video. Highly recommend watching it.
Lynch: "What happened, happened. At that point in time, I can realistically say I've done everything in a game... You win some. You lose some. But you LIVE."
#Seahawks
For the third straight week in a row, Ethan Pocic allowed 0 pressures according to PFF. He was the highest graded OL in pass blocking against the Vikings.
#Seahawks
The camera work here during Shaquill Griffin's interception celebration is incredible. Love the unfocused blur you get behind the group. Thing of beauty.
#Seahawks
Ryan Kerrigan has requested a trade from the Washington Football Team, per
@AdamSchefter
. Wow. He's not getting on the field and clearly wants that chance.
Wow Marshawn Lynch talking about the huddle when the 1-yard line Super Bowl play was called against the
#Patriots
is crazy. Highly recommend watching the full video.

Imagine the
#Browns
having this team next year:
QB = Rookie QB (Mayfield, Darnold, Rosen, or Allen), Tyrod Taylor
RB = Duke Johnson, Carlos Hyde, Saquon Barkley(?)
WR = Odell Beckham Jr, Jarvis Landry, Josh Gordon
TE = David Njoku
Been watching a lot of D.K. Metcalf recently for my next
#Seahawks
Film Room on
@FieldGulls
and there is something oddly satisfying about this throw and catch.
How Wilson's throw falls perfectly into Metcalf's hands in-stride is a beautiful sight.
Looking at the
#Seahawks
free agents, it seems like top priorities are:
1. Quandre Diggs... maybe 3 yr - $36m?
2. Duane Brown... maybe 2 yr - $30m?
3. DJ Reed Jr... maybe 3 yr - $36m?
4. Al Woods... maybe 1 yr - $3m?
They have the cap space... Would love to see these guys back.
Before the 2019 season started, I had the
#Seahawks
as an 8-8 team and they ended up going 11-5.
This year, I have them as a 10-6 team. By science, that means they'll go 13-3.
You're welcome for that expert analysis.
Top offensive grades for the
#Seahawks
in Week 8 against the Giants per PFF:
1. Geno Smith = 91.5!!
2. Gabe Jackson = 81.6
3. DK Metcalf = 79.2
H.M. Charles Cross = 63.1
The
#Seahawks
should try to trade for Jadeveon Clowney:
1. They have an extra 2nd from Clark trade
2. They need pass rush help
3. They have $20m in cap in 2019, $59m in 2020
4. He good
5. Rotation of Clowney, Ansah, Collier is A+
Wonder if 2020-2nd + 2021-2nd gets it done?
At what point exactly did Drew Lock become the centerpiece of that trade? Lol.
It was always about the first rounders and preparing for the 2023 NFL draft.
Drew Lock failing to beat out Geno Smith further emphasizes that the Seahawks’ return in the trade of Russell Wilson is amongst the worst in league history.
This is Quinton Dunbar. Look at the top of your screen where Dunbar was the outside third cornerback. He understood what the offense was trying to do with the clear-out route opening up space for the crosser and he picked it off. Dude can GOOD!
#Seahawks
The
#Seahawks
have spoken with former
#Eagles
coach Doug Pederson about their offensive coordinator job, per sources.
Fired five days ago, Pederson may also still end up drawing interest for another head-coaching job. His options are developing.
Your top graded offensive players from the
#Seahawks
Week 9 win over the Cardinals:
1. Damien Lewis - 88.8!
2. Noah Fant - 81.9
3. Will Dissly - 79.3
H.M. Kenneth Walker III - 72.0
The
#Jaguars
just got away with a huge penalty... Aaron Colvin tripped
#Seahawks
Paul Richardson after he fell to the ground. Should still be Hawks ball here.
#SEAvsJAX
Remember that one time when Danielle Hunter absolutely murdered Aaron Rodgers? My gawd.
Was going through some snaps by Griffen and came across this gem lol.
I LOVE Quinton Dunbar.
#Seahawks
traded for a great player.
Undrafted free agent WR that converted to CB to survive in the NFL. Was one of the best coverage CBs last season. PFF gave him a 87.6 (with a coverage grade of 89.5). Dude can PLAY!
Clear defensive pass interference by the
#Rams
linebacker. Swiped at DeeJay Dallas' outstretched arms. Terrible.
The
#Seahawks
were objectively screwed on this one.
The pro bowl should just turn into a 7v7 flag football tournament. Have the 8 QBs select teams draft style, and then play multiple 30 minute games with a running clock. Make it entertaining with fun football.
The
#Seahawks
at 6 wins have officially passed my entire season win projection for the year.... Wow. Completely shattered my expectations and capped it off with a strong win against the Cardinals!
The
#Seahawks
should go after JC Tretter. He's still a top-tier center and probably wouldn't be prohibitively expensive.
PFF's 6th highest graded Center >250 snaps.
Love hearing Bill Belichick talk about scheme and football. Here's him talking about Russell Wilson's touchdown pass to DK Metcalf on 4th & 3.
#Seahawks
Turn 🔊 on!
From:
Russell Wilson has NEVER received a single MVP vote.
Every vote cast since he entered the NFL:
68.5 Manning
53 Brady
50 Jackson
48 Newton
41 Mahomes
33 Rodgers
30.5 Peterson
25 Ryan
13 Watt
9 Brees
8 Gurley
6 Elliott
6 Carr
2 Murray
2 Romo
2 Wentz
1 Prescott
1 Wagner
1 Palmer
The only two concerns I have with the Quinton Dunbar trade to the
#Seahawks
are:
1. Health - Sent to injured reserve the last two years due to leg injuries. Hope he stays healthy.
2. Salary - Currently on final year of deal making $3.4M. He wants to get paid elite CB money.
