Receivers Not Open? You Decide

The debate rages on about the Seahawks passing game and the quarterback situation. One prominent argument has been that Seattle needs to upgrade the receiving corps because Russell Wilson has nobody to pass to. I wrote last week about two egregious errors Wilson made in the Packers game. I wrote...

The Morning After: Seahawks Humiliated By Rams, 19-13

It was fitting that on the Seahawks only touchdown drive on Sunday, they never faced a third down. The offense has not exactly been dangerous on any down so far this season, but third down was one key area this team needed drastic improvement in on offense after last...

Seahawks Defense Goal Sunday = Shutout

Sam Bradford and the Rams are not a team to underestimate. I have been warning anyone that would listen about their upside since Jeff Fisher came to town. Steven Jackson is a beast. Danny Amendola has as many receptions this season (25) as all the Seahawks wide receivers combined....

Hawk Blogger 2012 Power Rankings – Week 4

PRIMER Power rankings are always debatable. I don’t buy into the gut feel methods most places use to determine their rankings, so I developed a formula a few years back that attempts to take at least some of the subjectivity out of the discussion. My approach is simple, I...

Always Compete May Not Win Forever

There is a growing movement in software development called Lean Startup. It is based on a few fundamental premises: (1) admit that you do not know the answer (2) use real data from structured experiments to find it. It shares some common elements with Pete Carroll’s Win Forever mantra...

The Overlooked Chris Clemons

Jacob Green was drafted with the 10th overall pick of the 1980 draft. The NFL did not start tracking sacks as an official statistic until his third season, when he recorded 3.0 of what would eventually be a Seahawks record 97.5 over a sterling 13-year career. His number is...

Forget Height, Wilson Needs Patience

Before the controversial final play of the game against the Packers, Russell Wilson was 9-20 for 106 yards with 1 touchdown and 0 interceptions for a passer rating of 78.3. A passer rating of around 80.0 represents a mediocre game. ESPN has invented their QBR rating that takes into...
