Three Running Backs The Seattle Seahawks Could Trade For (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Just to establish my position here, I’m skeptical of the Seattle Seahawks trading for a running back. To me, the run blocking is a much bigger issue than who they have carrying the football. However, if Jadarian Price keeps putting the ball on the ground, they may not have much of a choice. So let’s review some options from the slow starters this season. The Titans are as hopeless as advertised, maybe even more. One of the few pieces worth anything on that roster is their veteran running back, w
The Seattle Seahawks Are Losing the Kickoff Battle (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In 2025, the Seattle Seahawks had the best special teams unit in the sport. By some measures, it was a historically good special teams unit. It was fairly predictable that they would take a small step back, just because it’s hard to be that good two years in a row. But it’s not been a small step back. Through three games, it’s been a massive step back. The silver lining is that Jason Myers, who had an awful preseason, had made all of his kicks so far. Of course, only one of those kicks was longe
Seahawks Injury Report Updates on Nick Emmanwori and Ty Okada (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Fans of the Seattle Seahawks were doubtlessly hoping that the Thursday report from practice might quell their concerns about the roster. Wednesday’s provided frustratingly little movement for the players who missed the opener, but Thursday’s might have been able to quell the concern. Unfortunately, for the most part, nothing was really different. Once again, the Seahawks had two players miss practice entirely. The same two, with Sam Darnold (glute) and Ty Okada (hamstring). Darnold is a non-stor
Seahawks Provide Injury Update on Nick Emmanwori, Tory Horton, and More (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The first of three week 2 injury reports is out for the Seattle Seahawks, and it paints a pretty solid picture of what we can expect this week. It’s been known for several days now that Sam Darnold (glute) wouldn’t be playing this week, and it was officially announced earlier today, but it’s worth noting that the team seems encouraged by his rehab so far. Let’s look at the rest. Other than Darnold’s DNP, the only Seahawk to miss practice was Ty Okada (hamstring), meaning he’s now on at least fou
What Can We Learn From the Seattle Seahawks Blitz Rate Against the Patriots? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Seattle Seahawks don’t blitz very much. That’s been the case for quite some time, regardless of who is calling the plays on that side. According to Sharp Football Analysis, the team sent a blitz on 21.7% of their defensive snaps last season, which is in the bottom quartile of the league, and blitzed on less than 21% of their snaps in the Super Bowl. Naturally, I would have expected a similar plan on Wednesday. New England’s offensive line has been improved during the offseason, but there was
