The Sea Hawkers Podcast

A reeling, 0-3 opponent comes to town, and six lightning-themed questions dig into whether that slide is about to continue for the Los Angeles Chargers. “Previously with the Protector” focuses on a breakdown of last week’s sloppy, turnover-plagued loss, before shifting into a full preview of a struggling offense that has real talent but can’t put it together. A record-setti...

The Seahawks are 2-1 heading into Week 4, and coming off the loss head coach Mike Macdonald walked into the building this week and said “you can feel the resolve.” JSN is chasing Calvin Johnson’s all-time receiving record, Brian Fluery is trying to find his way in the red zone, and Julian Love will hopefully be back in the lineup this week. The preview then shifts to a struggling...

The Seahawks dropped a very tough loss to the home Commanders and the blame going round and round like a carousel. We work through every big conversation swirling around the Seahawks after the loss. Topics range from Jadarian Price’s snap share and the special-teams kickoff-coverage issues, to a debate over Tory Horton versus Rashid Shaheed’s roles. We also get into what appeared to be...

It was a tough one to swallow. The Seahawks drop their first game since dropping their first game to the Rams last season, falling 33-31 on the road to the Washington Commanders. We break it all down live from the offensive line struggles, a costly Jadarian Price fumble, and a heated debate over the fourth-down decision that still has us going back and forth by the end of the show. Sam Darnold&#82...

Injury news headlines this week’s Saturday show with Seahawks safety Julian Love showing up with a calf injury. The depth of the safety room is going to be tested even more! Sam Darnold is set to return after only missing one full game. Our injuries seem minor compared to a Washington injury list that has five players listed as out: Sam Cosmi, Nick Cross, Frankie Luvu, Chig Okonkwo, and Jayd...

A dominant win over the Cardinals pushed the Seahawks to 2-0 on the year and 12 straight victories dating back to last season. Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s 82-yard touchdown headlines the offensive breakdown, but it’s the offensive line’s complete performance up front that gets the real credit, right alongside a competition brewing at right guard. Looking ahead to this weekend, we run th...

The Seahawks are 2-0 and headed east to face a Washington Commanders team without an injured Jayden Daniels. If Sam Darnold needs another week, it’s shaping up to be a battle of backup quarterbacks with Marcus Mariota under center. We work through six themed “What If” categories, from the Commanders’ backfield mix of Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Rachaad White to how much trou...

A blowout win over the Cardinals left plenty of tape worth pulling, so we went live with six “INs” and three “OUTs” from the game. Up front, the offensive line put together a great game, clearing the way for Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s three touchdown game. On defense, the day was so complete that picking a single MVC wasn’t easy, with Leonard Williams, Byron Murphy, a...

The Seattle Seahawks dominated the second half to pick up a 31-7 win over the Arizona Cardinals. We break down Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s three-touchdown day, Drew Lock’s efficient outing running the offense, and a defense that turned the game into a rout in the second half. Plus, we talk about the turnover battle, a big special-teams fumble recovery, some concern about Rashid Shaheed’...

It’s game day tomorrow, and we run through the latest news and notes before kickoff. There is an offensive line question mark at right guard and it has to do more with availability than ability, and we take a look at where things stand with the defense’s injury report. Tory Horton’s return and a full week of preparation could make a bigger difference than expected on offense. We...

Both the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals are 1-0, and we’re back with six themed “What If” questions to preview the matchup. We kick things off with a quick recap of the Cardinals’ Week 1 win over the Chargers, before diving into where the Seahawks need to see growth, whether Jadarian Price and the offensive line can heat things up on the road, how to slow down the C...

Know Your Rival season kicks off with the team the Seahawks have held without a touchdown in their last two matchups – the San Francisco 49ers. Seattle closed out the regular season with a 13-3 win at Levi’s Stadium, blew the doors off them in a 41-6 divisional round rout, and then celebrated a Super Bowl in the Niners’ own locker room. So what’s left of San Francisco after...

The arrows shift to the 2026 Seahawks offense as we grade each position group as trending up, down or sideways from what we watched last season. We start with fullback and debate how much impact the spot really has, but there is some optimism on Robbie Ouzts and whether he can shift to a Juszczyk-style role. Thanks to rare continuity, returning coaches and improving young starters, it’s diff...

Before kicking off on the scheduled topic, we hit on a couple offseason headlines from press conferences and other interviews this week. From Anthony Bradford’s injury and A.J. Barner’s “surgeries” to a couple key takeaways from Sam Darnold about the new offense. Who are the unsung offensive pieces that can matter most in repeating as champs? We discuss the impact one recei...

Seattle’s division race shifts after the Rams acquire Myles Garrett, giving up Jared Verse plus a 2027 first, 2028 second and a future third, and the move jolts Super Bowl odds while raising questions about L.A.’s all-in window around Matthew Stafford. The conversation weighs how much better the Rams get, whether chemistry or injuries could blunt the impact, and if Seattle ever could—o...

Today we’re looking at the 2026 Seattle Seahawks defense and going through an “up, down, or same” exercise across key position groups. DeMarcus Lawrence was at practice today. Was the retirement buzz even a slight possibility? Safety sparks some early debate as we kick off the look across position groups. The loss of Coby Bryant matters, but Bud Clark’s upside, plus staples...

Is this year’s “list season” going to be “disrespect season” for our reigning Super Bowl champion Seahawks? We take a look at four recent Seahawks-related narratives in this week’s show as 49ers fans react oddly to an “Lumen South” meme. The first “list” is a 2024 NFL redraft that sends Seattle away from Byron Murphy only to land on Brade...

Episode 500 looks back at the Seattle Seahawks previous championship window to spot what fueled the decline from back-to-back Super Bowl appearances. The conversation centers on three of John Schneider’s costly inflection points from 2013 to 2015: the Percy Harvin trade and contract (and the draft opportunity cost), sacrificing trench stability by trading Pro Bowl center Max Unger for Jimmy...

The 2026 NFL Schedule was released on Thursday and we’re taking a week-to-week look at the Seattle Seahawks opponents this year. Can the Seahawks get out to a fast start on their road to back-to-back titles? The season kicks off against the New England Patriots in a rematch of the Super Bowl before heading out on early road trips to Arizona and Washington. They have a stretch of prime time m...

As the Seahawks look to repeat this year, there are areas where they could slip after a championship season and reasons why they might still be even more dominant. Potential downside comes from opponents adjusting to Mike Macdonald’s nickel-heavy run defense, statistical regression if Jaxon Smith-Njigba can’t repeat his production, uncertainty around first-time play caller Brian Fleury...

The Seahawks have signed Dante Fowler Jr. to a one-year deal worth up to $5 million. We talk about the fit, value and expectations for a veteran replacement for Boye Mafe after the team avoided drafting the position. How does he stack up to some of the other veterans Mike Macdonald has maximized during his time in Seattle and with Baltimore, and we define “success” as steady rotational...
