Sea Hawkers Podcast: for Seattle Seahawks fans

This show follows the 5-minute preview show the came out earlier today. In this episode, we feature all of the hosts from the 2022 show lineup: Post game shows; 3 IN, 3 OUT; press conference recaps, our traditional "flagship" weekly show; the 'What If' preview show; and the new PNW Prop Stars. Hear from the hosts on what to expect from each show and some of the history behind them. To close the sh...

As we go into our 10th season of the podcast, we're making some big changes to the lineup! Live post-game reaction shows are coming back this year and we have a plan for daily shows throughout the week. Tune in and hear the full lineup of shows and we'll be talking about it more in an upcoming episode.

In the final week of our Know Your Rival series for 2022, we take our time trying to work up the interest in talking about this particular rival. The Los Angeles Rams caught so many big breaks throughout the post-season last year that it still is difficult to talk about this upcoming year without thinking back to the previous season. Plus, we have to consider that they should earn a similar curse...

The Seattle Seahawks dominance over the 49ers is not a recent phenomenon. Seattle has owned the Niners since coming into the division in 2002. Although, their stake in ownership really didn't begin until the 2003 season. Since that time, they've beaten the Niners twice in a season on 11 occasions (compared to the 3 years for their rival). One thing the Niners have going for them is a very talented...

The Arizona Cardinals offseason has been filled with drama. Kyler Murray made it clear that he wants a new contract, starting center Rodney Hudson is threatening retirement, and DeAndre Hopkins was suspended for violating the PED rules. Not to mention that tragedy even struck the organization this past May. All of this endangers a historic pattern that says the Cardinals will finish first in the d...

If the Seahawks don't make a move toward another starting quarterback before the start of the season, Drew Lock would be the quarterback who has the greater chance for potential upside. Geno Smith is a fine player, but Lock has the higher ceiling. Just how high is the ceiling though? We talk about one potential Hall of Fame quarterback whose early career compares similarly to Lock. This particular...

The Seahawks have been holding OTAs and mandatory minicamp over the past couple weeks and one notable player who is absent is wide receiver DK Metcalf. Is the team close to signing the former second round pick to a long-term deal? Would it be better to wait and pay DK to see if he has a subpar season? It may be that there is another good reason for the team to wait on before solidifying the deal (...

Organized team activities (OTAs) started for the Seahawks this past week. It's voluntary for the players to attend and participate, but there are some key takeaways that we pulled from the player interviews as well as the first injury announcement of a guy we hope to be a key player in the 2022 season. In the news, the Seahawks waived one rookie quarterback from the roster and there were several r...

As has become an annual tradition, Dave Bloomquist (a.k.a. Hong Kong Hawk) joins the show as a long-time member of the Flock to break down the Seattle Seahawks schedule release. Where do the Seahawks have some advantages within the schedule and where are the disadvantages? Early on, Seattle faces a very heavy road schedule while the second half becomes somewhat more favorable for travel. Plus, a l...

It was an atypical draft year for the Seattle Seahawks in many ways. First, they had a top 10 pick for the first time since 2010. Second, they didn't trade out of their first pick (partly because they didn't need to considering they had back-to-back picks in the second round). Third, they took players that we actually had discussed leading up to the draft in positions relative to where most people...

Rob Staton of Seahawks Draft Blog is back on the show and offering up his thoughts on the 2022 Seahawks Draft Class. The players in the class include: Round 1: Charles Cross, OT Round 2: Boye Mafe, EDGE Round 2: Ken Walker III, RB Round 3: Abraham Lucas, OT Round 4: Coby Bryant, CB Round 5: Tariq Woolen, CB Round 5: Tyreke Smith, EDGE Round 7: Bo Melton, WR Round 7: Dareke Young, WR We talk about...

Geno Smith has signed a deal to stay with the Seahawks for 2022, but it wasn't without drama this week. Before the signing was announced, Baker Mayfield was interviewed on a podcast and said that he thinks that the Seahawks could be a possible landing spot for him. Does the Geno signing change things? We rank the different factors that Geno, Baker and Drew Lock all bring to the team. The NFL Draft...

Russell Wilson has been traded to the Denver Broncos, Bobby Wagner has signed with the Los Angeles Rams and there are multiple Seahawks players who have gone to the Pro Bowl who seem unlikely to return to the team. The second Hawkpocalypse of the Pete Carroll and John Schneider tenure is upon us. Both Wilson and Wagner had their introductory press conferences in the past couple weeks, and we check...

Last time we checked in with Rob Staton of Seahawks Draft Blog, the Seahawks still only had one pick in the top 50. Now they have three and are in need of a quarterback. There also wasn't a lot of positivity around the options at quarterback in the draft. Now that the Seahawks are likely to be drafting competition for Drew Lock, who are some potential options that could fit? Pete Carroll recently...

Based on some of the clues the Seahawks are giving us, what exactly is the direction for the team in 2022? Ultimately, we'll be able to judge that better once we know who is under center to start the season. Who is the likely favorite and which quarterbacks could be an option for this year? We also discuss some of the latest players to be signed by Seattle. Following the Russell Wilson trade, head...

Seattle Seahawks fans were forced to move on from the best quarterback and the best linebacker in franchise history on the same day. For some fans, losing one hurts more than the other. As we attempt to understand the move, legacy has something to do with it whether it was Russell Wilson talking about his desire to win more Super Bowls or Pete Carroll who we have to expect has similar desires for...

Is this the beginning of Hawkpocalypse 2.0? Russell Wilson traded to the Broncos, Bobby Wagner released from the Seahawks. Could there be more trades to come for Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf? Those are questions going through the minds of so many Seahawks fans after the first week of March. Even if it's just Russ and Bobby, it an end of an era in Seattle. As this era comes to a close, should it be...

Rob Staton of Seahawks Draft Blog checks in to talk about a draft strategy for Seattle heading into this year's NFL Combine. Where do they need to improve and what position groups should they target to improve where it could count most in 2022? It turns out that the area where the Seahawks need to improve most (on the offensive and defensive line) are particular strengths for this year's draft cla...

The Seattle Seahawks are shaking up the coaching staff on the defensive side of the football this offseason. What does it mean for potential changes schematically and what questions still remain? Clint Hurtt provided some thoughts toward issues we all saw this past season, but just how much input did he have in fixing those issues while they were happening this year? It's not just Hurtt who will l...

We recorded live after the game and this was the result. For the uncatfished version of the episode, visit our YouTube channel . 

While watching Satan's Championship last weekend, we learned some things about ourselves that we're not proud to admit. Regardless, we discuss how we ended up having some disappointment surrounding the outcome with the Los Angeles Rams going to the Super Bowl. Can the Cincinnati Bengals save us from what feels inevitable? The news about the Seahawks defensive coordinator spot came out after we rec...

Seahawks fans got what might be the worst possible outcome for this year's NFC Championship game. While there wasn't a whole lot of love for long-time greats Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers, having one of your rivals guaranteed to make the Super Bowl makes it a tough game to watch. However, Tom Brady is upstaging the entire weekend after a report by ESPN said that he would be retiring this offseason....

The Seahawks franchise may not have made the kind of coaching change that some fans were calling for this offseason, but they did make the move that we figured would be the most likely. Defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr. is out after spending 2010-2014 as linebackers coach for the team and as DC since his return in 2018. Seattle will also be looking for a new coach in the secondary and at quarte...

Where was that team all season? The Seahawks showed emotion, they showed an ability to come back despite adversity, and they demonstrated how they can dominate a team on the ground to set things up for deep shots down field. We got a peak at what we thought this offense could be before the season started. We even saw a competent pass rush in the second half versus Arizona. They even did it without...

The Seahawks scored more than 50 points in a game for just the fifth time in franchise history. The victory over the Lions gave us a glimpse of what the Seattle offense could look like with an o-line that had the ability to routinely dominate their opponent. But we did see things happen against the Lions that happened all too often during the regular season that remain a cause for concern. Pete Ca...
