The Seattle Seahawks hired Mike Macdonald to replace legendary head coach Pete Carroll this offseason in large part to fix the defense. On a sunny day at Lumen Field today, the Hawks defense showed a dominant side in mostly holding Seattle's offense at bay in their formal mock scrimmage. Several young players stood out on both sides of the ball, and I was there to witness it. In this livestream, I...

It won't exactly be played like a real game when the Seattle Seahawks convene at Lumen Field on Saturday, but it'll be the closest thing we've seen so far, and may begin to give us some clues as to how the roster and depth chart are going to look when the bullets start flying for real a month from now. Today, I'll share my thoughts on what I'm going to be zeroing in on when the Hawks take the fiel...

A number of young players are piling up standout practice performances thus far as the Seattle Seahawks continue their first training camp under first-year head coach Mike Macdonald, including a few of them at key positions. I'll let you know what teammates, coaches, and reporters are saying about these players poised to have breakout seasons in 2024, and what it means to this team. Here’s how you...

If you follow the Seattle Seahawks you've no doubt heard Gee Scott Sr, either on a pre or post game show, providing insight on sports radio ESPN 710, or on his KIRO FM radio show, but do you know Gee's personal story of how he got to be one of the most enduring voices in the Seahawks atmosphere? It's one that will no doubt inspire you, delivered with Scott's signature passion. And wait until he sh...

The vibes are all positive coming out of Mike Macdonald's first training camp as head coach of the Seattle Seahawks, with the possible exception of one injury update.... **New leader identified (and paid!) on defense? **A familiar face returns to the Seahawks secondary after 2 years away **Injury lists down to just 4, but what's the latest on Abe Lucas? **Is a Connor Williams signing inevitable? A...

It was just last year that the Seattle Seahawks drafted center Olu Oluwatimi in the 5th round after a decorated senior season at Michigan. After starting two games his rookie campaign in place of Evan Brown, he's been the first-team center all throughout OTA's and the presumed starter heading into the season. But the Seahawks interest in Connor Williams and the sneaky signing of another interestin...

Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic has been covering the Seattle Seahawks for nearly 8 years now and has seen good..... and not-so-good teams.

Mike also provides updates on a couple key injuries, and we chop it up about the cur...

Shawn Syed of Sumer Sports took the deep dive of all analytical deep dives in trying to get a feel for how the NFL's new kickoff rule will look as they unveil it for the first time this season. To do that, he went back to the genesis of the rule, the XFL, and charted every single kickoff play from their 2023 season. What trends did he find? How did teams scheme up the return game, and how did they...

Forget the questions, the concerns, the "what if's" and some of the negative national rhetoric when it comes to the 2024 Seattle Seahawks. Today I'm focusing on the POSITIVE, because there are plenty of reasons for it. FIVE to be exact. Here, presented for your consideration, are my 5 reasons to get EXCITED about this year's Seahawks team. SUBSCRIBE to the YouTube Channel for video versions: https...

According to a new statistical measure developed by Seahawks beat reporter Corbin Smith, Geno Smith gives you the best value of any NFL starting QB. Corbin joins me to today to talk about how he built this new metric, and what it means about Geno's performance and potentially his future in Seattle moving forward. Here’s how you can support the Seahawks Forever channel: SUBSCRIBE to the YouTube Cha...

I've yet to put a number on how many games I think this new-look Seattle Seahawks team can, and will, win in 2024...... until now. Today I move beyond the general concepts that have driven my short-term outlook for the Hawks and finally put a number on it. In the process, I'll try and quantify the three categories I think most fans and analysts fall into when trying to measure this team's ceiling....

In this one I attempt to explore all the reasons some fans of the Seattle Seahawks believe DK Metcalf's value lies more in a potential trade piece than as one of their foundational players. Why do so many fans have a hard time wrapping their arms around the Seahawks star wide receiver? Or.... should they be thinking more in terms of whether the team should actually EXTEND him beyond the end of his...

I joined Ryan and Bryce on their awesome HawksZone Rundown Podcast this week and together we put together an ALL-TIME Seahawks roster and depth chart.

Jeff Simmons of the Real Hawk Talk podcast joins me to dive into the Seattle Seahawks 2025 roster. As new head coach Mike Macdonald attempts to mold a championship contender in the pacific northwest, are the pieces in place to build a super bowl foundation? We'll look at which positions are locked in for next season and beyond, and determine which others may need to be addressed in the draft or fr...

While optimism seems to be high among fans that the Seattle Seahawks will return to their contending ways with an improved roster and new head coach Mike Macdonald in the fold, the national media is painting a different picture. Many of them (if not most) are projecting Seattle to finish not only out of the playoff race, but in some cases last in the NFC West (yes, BEHIND the Cardinals!) Why is th...

Now that the Seattle Seahawks have officially wrapped up their offseason program, they'll get their longest break of the year before reconvening for training camp in late July. New head coach Mike Macdonald and his staff were so pleased with the performance at mandatory minicamp last week that they excused the team a day early to begin their summer break in earnest. What did we learn about this te...

John Schneider is in his 15th season as general manager of the Seattle Seahawks, and this year he added VP of Football Operations to his title after the departure of legendary head coach Pete Carroll. Schneider has had some good strategic offseasons, some admittedly bad ones, but also many GREAT ones. Where does this offseason - his first without Carroll by his side - fit on his resume? While it i...

The Geno Smith debate has raged for two years now, and will continue on.... at least until we see how he fits and performs in Ryan Grubb's newly-installed Seahawks offense. Statistics are plentiful, and no matter where you stand on Geno's skill-level and value you can find numbers to support you argument. Which leads me to this question - where does Smith fit in the echelon on current NFL QB's? In...

When Bryce Coutts isn't recording episodes as co-host of the Hawks Zone Rundown podcast, he's coaching quarterbacks. After years of playing and coaching the QB position, he opened his own quarterback academy 3 years ago, where he gets to help tutor prospective signal-callers from the age of 10 all the way into their college years. So today, we're going to break down all the aspects of playing the...
