He's better than anyone on a lot of teams' front seven. You're right. The two fronts are comparable. I had the Bengals as my preseason dark horse in the AFC, mainly because of their front seven and overall depth being arguably the best in the conference. I would have had them as the...
That's one helluva front seven in Cincinnati. So dominating in fact they lost at home to the Chargers in the first round, who lost to Denver in the 2nd round, who got their ass handed to them by the Seahawks in the Super Bowl. Molly Qerim can have Cincinnati's front seven and so can you...
There's nothing I can't stand more than a wimpy ass pc lib. If a woman commentating on football says something idiotic, she's bumping right up against the stereotype about women and football and is going to be called on it. That's just the way it is.
I agree no matter if he stays or goes elsewhere he's going to be taking a significant cut. The fact remains too that the dropoff in the passing game over the last 5 games of the regular season, especially compared to the last 5 games of 2012 when they were just killing it, might have had a lot...
That exact same thought crossed my mind earlier today. Whether he returns or goes elsewhere, he's going to be taking a huge paycut. So why not stay for less money? A lot of Hawk fans are down on Rice but he's still got some good football left in him I think.
The Seahawks and 49ers will continue to be the two best teams in the NFL through 2014 (barring injuries) while they have key contributors on rookie contracts. It gives them a huge advantage with cap space and while the Hawks were paying guys like Sherman and Russell Wilson peanuts they were...
Re-sign Michael Bennett.
The one area of the team that could use some work is the offensive line. It's the weakest part of the team and the one area that hasn't gotten any love the last couple offseasons. The pass blocking in the Super Bowl was ok but the run blocking was bad once again...
That's pure bullshit. I get tired of people saying whenever a Seahawk fan talks about the Hawks in any positive way, then it's "homerism." There's actually nothing wrong with being a homer, every fan is to a certain extent. A bias toward your favorite team. But homer Seahawk fans are also...
That's not indicative of good defense? I beg to differ. That is solid evidence of great defense in my book. Maybe if other teams had done that, they might have had some success too. But they didn't. Then you have to wonder why. Maybe they just aren't good enough to crack the code.
I'm having a little trouble seeing the relevance of it. It's not indicative of a great defense, true. But in actuality it's not indicative of anything. Greg Nickels is no longer the mayor of Seattle. You could say that's not indicative of the Seahawks having a great defense neither.
For sure. For whatever reason though I'm not as familiar with that defense even though it is the most recent of the ones mentioned. But I do remember them coming into town that year and demolishing the Seahawks. It's hard not to remember Warren Sapp and that pressure they could generate from...
Usually when talking about the greatest defenses, it involves single seasons. The only exceptions are probably the Steel Curtain and the Monsters of the Midway. There's no doubt about the '85 Bears, I totally agree with you. But you notice when you think of that defense, you always specify...
No it doesn't. First off, where did your wife get that information? Second, decoding signals and being a good defense aren't mutually exclusive.
Talking about the best of anything is always debatable. But undeniably this defense is in the argument.
Danny O'neil pointed out an interesting fact about the game and the defense in particular. The Seahawks would have beaten the Broncos if the offense hadn't taken a single snap. They would have still won 9-8. I don't think there's ever been a team quite like the Seahawks, who can win a game in...
Yeah the fact that the Super Bowl MVP was a linebacker who the Hawks picked in the 7th round who was backing up another guy who they picked in the 4th round just kinda sums up what the Seahawks are all about. KJ gets injured in the Niners game in SF and they just plug in Malcolm Smith, who...
That's true. But they did have 44 this season, up from 31 in 2012. That wasn't enough to lead the league but I think it was in the top five if I'm not mistaken. But depending on how you look at it the more important stat for this particular defense might be QB pressures, in which they did...
What about the 2000 Ravens?
As crazy and "homerish" as it sounds, I agree this defense has to go down as one of the greats. We all knew they were pretty good but in order to be talked about with those defenses mentioned they had to go out and win the SB. Not only did they win it but they shut...
Vegas is usually right, or at least more often than not, and they had the Seahawks as the favorites by 1 as the opening line. It was the dumbed down masses that put it all on Denver and flipped it Denver's way. There was a prevailing belief all season that the Seahawks were overrated and...
I remember after the Niners beat Carolina some Niner fan said, "Hey Seahawk fans, THIS is how you win a divisional playoff game on the road." I'd like to tell that person, "well, THIS is how you win a Super Bowl."
