Sea Hawkers Podcast (Premium)

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. Who is hyped up and who isn't getting talked about enough... let's discuss! Support the show Get in the Flock!

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. Better at life honors go out to a GPS company and for a moment from Mike Macdonald that made us say, "That's our coach!" Support the show Get in the Flock!

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? We cover that and much more on this episode of the Sea Hawkers Podcast. Support the show Get in the Flock!

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? Stick around to see how the 3 guys define the very important word . . . important!!! Support the show Get in the Flock!

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. Tune in to hear why Better at Life honors go to John Schneider and to our listeners for helping us reach a big milestone. 2023 Podcast Pick'em League Support the show Get in the Flock!

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!

The Seahawks will complete the process of bringing in up to 30 draft picks to Seattle next week. Of the reported names who have visited so far, who do we like? Are there any we don't like? We go through some of the names and talk about some of the recent changes that players are already recognizing under the new head coach. 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!
