Peyton Manning is a master of his trade. Nobody plays the quarterback position better. He identifies and exploits defensive weaknesses better than anyone who has ever played the game. His mental acuity is so great that he is setting league records even as his physical abilities are on the...
Red Bryant has had an uneven career in Seattle. A disappointment at defensive tackle, he was a revelation after being moved to the 5-technique defensive end by then defensive line coach Dan Quinn in 2010. He battled injuries that year, but dominated when on the field. His finest season...
Photo by Anthony May Sunshine and sunscreen seem like a distant memory as we barrel toward what may be the coldest Super Bowl in history. The Seahawks kicked off training camp in late July and enjoyed one of Seattle’s best Summers. Lombardi trophies were already on everyone’s mind. The...
Expect football stories to begin making their way back to the Super Bowl lead-up as the Richard Sherman discussion mellows. One such football narrative will be that the Broncos have a decided advantage at the receiver position. Demaryius Thomas, Eric Decker and Wes Welker will be described as world...
Everyone in America has probably heard the name Richard Sherman by now. A similarly sized population knows the name Russell Wilson. Name recognition on the Seahawks starts to drop off after those two. Marshawn Lynch is well known among NFL fans, but less so outside that group of people....
Seattle signed some great pass rushers this off-season with Cliff Avril and Michael Bennett. Clinton McDonald has upped his pass rush game, and a slew of other Seahawks have contributed to a much improved pass rush. Expecting them to get to Peyton Manning during the Super Bowl is probably...
Peyton Manning versus Richard Sherman will get top billing. Manning versus Russell Wilson will get plenty of attention as well. Next, might be the return of Percy Harvin. All are fascinating and deserving story lines, but they also may be less important in determining the outcome of this game...
Lots of Seahawks fans chose to pass on a trip to Detroit back in 2005. I was one of them. Not this time. New York City was in my sights from the moment the season started. I bought plane tickets three months ago, and have been arranging a place...
Oddsmakers continue to list the Broncos as slight favorites to win the Super Bowl. I entered this week with some lightly informed perceptions of what Denver was good at on both sides of the ball. After a week of researching their season, watching a number of their games, and checking...
We are still more than a week away from playing Super Bowl XLVIII between the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos. It is biggest betting event of the year, and the Seahawks continue to be slight underdogs. It is incredibly difficult to get to this point, even with a talented...
The line for the game opened in favor of the Seahawks slightly, but quickly switched over to the Broncos because of money coming in on that side of the ledger. The line will continue to move over the next two weeks, and while I do not normally discuss betting...
