The Sea Hawkers Podcast

The Seattle Seahawks host the San Francisco 49ers at Lumen Field tomorrow, and we’re taking a look at the injury report before game day. Leonard Williams has no injury designation after coming out of the game with an ankle injury and Ty Okada is set to play. We finally get both starting safeties on the field together! The Niners? They’re without Nick Bosa and Kyle Juszczyk, and Upton Stout is a question mark in the middle of the field. So is this really a new 49ers offense just because Mike Evans? We aren’t buying it, and we’ll...

The Seattle Seahawks host the San Francisco 49ers this Sunday, and this one’s a big game! The Niners are undefeated. Our Seahawks are the champs. So who proves it? We go through six “prove it” questions on this week’s show. Can our run game be a positive influence? Can our pass rush get home against that top-ranked O-line? Who still has a lot to prove? What does Sam Darnold need to improve? Which pass-catching group is the best in the game? And how do our DBs make the Brock Purdy MVP talk look a little presumptive? Finally, we read...

The Seattle Seahawks host the San Francisco 49ers this week, and we can’t wait to destroy the delusion that is fueling the Niners fanbase. Are the Niners really that good? Or have they just feasted on a soft schedule? We break it all down. Our offense is still near the bottom of the league on third down, there’s real running back panic after the Jadarian Price injury and the Joe Mixon attempted signing, and it appears that letting Kenneth Walker walk was a mistake. Have you heard that Brock Purdy hasn’t been sacked yet? There’s a reason...

The Seattle Seahawks beat the Los Angeles Chargers 30-23 to move to 3-1, but a bunch of you are already asking the same question: do we have a Brian Fleury problem? So we went to the tape. Thirty points. Three games in a row. Is that really a problem? On offense our wide zone looked great when it was clicking, Defensively, Drake Thomas played football exactly the way we like to watch it, and on special teams Jason Myers had a couple of kicks that had us fuming. Add in a Nehemiah Pritchett pass breakup, a preview of what...

The Seattle Seahawks offense was scoreless in the fourth quarter as the defense gave up 10 points to make it an all-to-close finish against the Los Angeles Chargers. The 30-23 victory moves the Seahawks to 3-1 ahead of next week’s divisional matchup with the undefeated San Francisco 49ers. We go through Sam Darnold’s game versus the Chargers defense, some of the throws he missed and what we saw from the interception that started his day. Despite the early turnover, it was three turnovers by the Seahawks defense after that moment that helped swing the game in Seattle’s favor...

A 2-1 Seattle Seahawks team welcomes in a reeling, 0-3 opponent in the Los Angeles Chargers, and the pregame news-and-notes breakdown digs into an injury question for the Seahawks’ top running back. The health picture then flips to the visitors, who are banged up at receiver, tight end, and in the secondary heading into the trip up the coast. The back half breaks out a full card of betting picks, built around a run-pass balance debate, a banged-up pass-catcher prop, a receiver-usage tension between two targets, and a long-shot touchdown-scorer parlay.

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-setting receiver’s chances of staying hot gets a close look, along with the health of a key safety and whether a run game built around a rookie back can finally break out for a big day. A rapid-fire...

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 0-3 opponent, digging into their beat-up offensive line, an underwhelming receiver room, and a pass rush anchored by two very different players. A wild Sunday around the rest of the league...

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 a stubborn tendency to run right, a red-zone play-calling gripe that’s been building for weeks, and what’s driving the Sam Darnold versus Drew Lock conversation. We also dig into the defense allowing...

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’s two interceptions get a full breakdown, along with some pointed criticism of Seattle’s own defensive play-calling for going too conservative. We also go over a coup...

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 Jayden Daniels. After a spin through the week’s rooting guide for the rest of the NFC West and beyond, we get to our Blue Friday Bets.

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 through Washington’s growing injury list and wonder if the Seahawks will avoid the strength of this Commanders defense to start the game on Sunday. We remind everyone what Sam Darnold did against the Commanders. But will he reali...

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 trouble Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs can cause through the air. We dig into the matchups, map out what a complete performance from our own defense would look like, and put a plan on the board for taking a...

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, and Uchenna Nwosu all building cases for the award. From the Flock closes the show, running through the community’s own INs and OUTs from a weekend spent watching the Cardinals get run out of their own b...
