Hawks Cast Podcast

The Seahawks have a disappointing showing that really set back their year. The DEF cannot stop anyone on the ground and it was the first time since Week 3 that we've seen Geno look lost on the offense. With their playoff future still in doubt, they have one of their biggest games of the season on a short rest for Thursday Night Football. With the short turnaround, can the Seahawks take advantage or will they Niners just run all over the Seahawks run DEF? This is the HawksCast.NET Podcast.

The Seahawks bounce back and Geno proves the doubters wrong for a week as he led the team to a come-back-win that the DEF was able to hold. It wasn't the "best" version of the Rams but a win is a win. The Run DEF continues to drive the fans crazy as the Rams looked like they were able to do anything they wanted on the ground but the Pass Rush and Secondary showed some flashes. Tariq Woolen keeps getting tested but came out ahead with his league leading 6th INT. The team tries to take advantage these final five weeks as they fight for the NFC West. This is the HawksCast.NET Podcast. Topic #1 Can we put to rest the "Geno doesn't have a GWD?" Topic #2 What's the bigger concern on the ground; the RUN DEF or our lack of RBs? Topic #3 Hawks Cast Corner - Can the Seahawks secure the NFC West? Topic #4 Carolina Panthers - Will the Seahawks split the NFC South or will the Panthers run all over us?

The Seahawks are back in action and hope to rebound after their 2-game lead in the NFC West has dropped to zero after losing back-to-back games. The OFF was able to put up points but not at critical times and the DEF wasn't able to stop anyone. Attention on our run game, DEF and Geno's ability to close a game have all come into question as they prepare for the defending Superbowl Los Angeles Rams who are closing into a first-to-worst season. The team also announced the classic uniforms are making a return in 2023. This is the HawksCast.NET podcast. Topic #1 Are playoffs still a reasonable expectation?

The NFC West leading Seattle Seahawks swept their division rivals, the Arizona Cardinals in dominating fashion. Rather than salt the clock away they just efficiently moved down the field to close out the game. The Seahawks now face the sub-500 NFC South leading Tampa Bay Buccaneers who look to build off of a climatic win over the Rams but not all division leaders look the same. While the Bucs have the GOAT in Tom Brady, the Seahawks have Geno who has surprised all expectations and has become the face of the team. No one could have expected this much success but the Seahawks now travel to Munich for the first international game in Germany. This is the HawksCast.NET Podcast.

The Seahawks bounce back with a great win over division rivals, the Cardinals and return to .500. They now turn their attention to former division rivals, the Los Angeles Chargers. Our rookie Tackles were pressured all game long as was Geno but our rookie Corners made impactful plays all day as well.

The Seahawks Offense continued their strong showing as Geno had another great game... unfortunately the Seahawks Defense also continues their poor showing as they allowed a player to have a career game for the third time in a row. We all seem to be okay with this up-and-down year but can we continue to live through these really poor defensive performances?

The Seahawks travel to face the Detroit Lions and our run of "winnable" games is starting to look a lot worse since our DEF can't stop anyone. The OFF showed up and put enough points to win some games but ultimately fell short as they allowed poor execution, penalties and a late INT on 4th down shut the door on their comeback chances. They now face an injury riddle Lions team who are also looking to rebound. The DEF has acknowledge their flaws but is there the time and the personal to make the changes to keep them in the game?

The Seahawks got embarrassed on Sunday as they lost to the 49ers in a remarkable uncompetitive game where their offensive scoring drought has now gone 6 quarters since Week 1. Seattle hopes to rebound against the winless Atlanta Falcons who have been averaging over 27 points per game but losing in the most brutal fashion.

The Seahawks emerge from Monday Night Football atop the NFC West as the lone victor from Week 1. The team won an emotional game against former QB Russell Wilson that definitely made a lot of fans extremely happy. Whether or not this is what the team can expect it's not without its concerns as the run game was limited and SS Jamal Adams was lost for the year. The Seahawks now turn to division rivals who are also going through their own QB roster churn as they face the Niners. This is the HawksCast.NET podcast brought to you by the Hawks Cast Forum.

The Seahawks open the 2022 season on Monday Night Football hosting the Denver Broncos... who just so happen to have Russell Wilson as their QB. For the first time since Pete's first few years, the Seahawks are not expected to be division favorites nor contenders this year but that doesn't mean there's not a lot to look forward to. This will be the first meaningful action for a lot of starters and the Seahawks are currently slated to have three drafted rookies start Week 1. This is the Hawks Cast Podcast brought to you by the Hawks Cast Forum. Topic #1 Can the Seahawks afford to gamble at the QB position? Topic #2 Is it a good/bad thing that the Seahawks have three rookies starting Week 1? Topic #3 Hawks Cast Corner - What would make this season a failure? What about success?

The Seahawks close out a very concerning preseason schedule but it's the preseason so nothing to worry about...yet. Geno is gonna get his 3rd start of the preseason and looks to be the default starter for Week 1 of the regular season but is there something that Drew can do in this final preseason game and before Pete announces his starter to tilt the room? This is the Hawks Cast Podcast brought to you by the Hawks Cast Forum. Topic #1 Did the Seahawks mess up the QB competition from the beginning? Topic #2 If the Seahawks are the worst team in the NFL, what should that mean for expectations? Topic #3 Hawks Cast Corner - Do fans deserve to suffer through a refresh/rebuild/reload type of year?

Which player will get cut based on this game? Who has impressed you the most in camp?

The Seahawks are back and we're getting the podcast back together. Much like many returning faces from the heyday of the Seahawks, we are back and here to talk about the preseason. We will finally see who puts up the best efforts in these key starting battles and there are also a lot of rookies who appear to be fighting for starting spots. Some may see that as good and other bad now that we do not have the veteran teams we've seen these past few years. This is the Hawks Cast Podcast brought to you by the Hawks Cast Forum. Topic #1 Team Pete vs Team Russ - Who will be redeemed by the end of the year? Topic #2 Is it a mistake to invest in guys like DK when the team doesn't have a QB? Topic #3 Hawks Cast Corner - Who is your training camp adopted rookie? Who is gonna be a bust? Topic #4 Any tell-tale signs to look for in our preseason games? Predictions Who looks better? Geno vs. the #1's or Drew vs. the #2's? Who starts in the 2nd Preseason game; Geno or Drew? Who starts at RT?

The Seahawks complete their 2022 draft and come away with nine players and double-dipped at OT, CB, EDGE and WR. They shocked many by taking the #1 rated RB with their 3rd pick that has many people questioning why it wasn't a QB. This draft was filled with a lot of draft-day trades that many assumed would be the Seahawks either trading away picks or moving back. The Seahawks only ended up making one trade to go back and pick up an additional pick. Thoughts on this draft are all over the spectrum as some have this as an A-grade and some failing the Seahawks. And news came out that the Seahawks will travel to Munich to play their first game in Germany. This is the HawksCast.NET Podcast. Topic #1 Did the Seahawks have a good draft because they took the "best" rated players? Topic #2 How did this draft feel compared to previous years? Topic #3 Hawks Cast Corner - Did the Seahawks make a mistake by not drafting a QB without a clear-cut starter? Topic #4 Should the Seahawks have capitalized on the WR trade market? Predictions Cross/Lucas/Both OT Week 1 Starter Carson/Penny/Walker RB Week 1 Starter Mafe/Smith EDGE Week 1 Starter Bryant/Woolen CB Week 1 Starter

The 2022 NFL Draft is finally here and the Seahawks won't have to wait long before their pick is officially on the clock. The Seahawks have never drafted higher than 6th overall when they took OT Russell Okung in the 2010 draft. It's been over a decade since the Seahawks have drafted within the top-10 and whether or not they stay there will depend on what happens as there is no clear-cut number one prospect in this draft. The Seahawks are equipped with eight total picks before any wheelin' and dealin' but Seahawks fans have been through it all. This is the HawksCast.NET Podcast. Topic #1 What is going to happen with the 9th pick overall? Topic #2 Is the Seahawks Front Office good or bad at the draft? Topic #3 Hawks Cast Corner - What does your mock draft look like? Topic #4 What is your draft philosophy and what would you like the Seahawks to do? Predictions Yes/No Seahawks trade down from the 9th spot Yes/No Seahawks take a "Premium Position" with their 1st pick Yes/No A team will trade up to draft a QB within the top-10 of the draft Yes/No The Seahawks draft a QB Yes/No The Seahawks end up drafting more than 8 players

The first half of the offseason comes to an end with the Seahawks with a ton of guys re-signed but also some key players signed elsewhere. For the first time in 10 years, we are going to see the Seahawks address the void left by Russ and Bobby and that may come in the second half of the offseason or potentially in the Draft. The HawksCast.NET podcast is back to kick off our off-season series. Topic #1 Has your opinion of the Seahawks trading Russ and releasing Bobby changed in the past couple of months? Topic #2 The Seahawks have a lot of their guys still on the market, is this a sign that they are still coming back? Topic #3 Hawks Cast Corner - Have the Seahawks addressed the QB spot? Geno, Lock, Baker, or someone else? Topic #4 With the WR Market going crazy, what do the Seahawks need to do with DK Metcalf? Predictions Yes/No The Seahawks will sign LT Duane Brown Yes/No The Broncos will sign RT Brandon Shell Yes/No A 2019 Drafted WR will get traded Yes/No A 2019 Drafted WR will get extended before DK

The Seahawks see the end of an era as QB Russell Wilson has been traded to the Denver Broncos and MLB Bobby Wagner has been released as a cap saving move. Seahawks receive two first-round picks (2022 #9 overall & 2023 1st), two second-round picks (2022 #40 overall and 2023 2nd), 2022 5th round pick, TE Noah Fant (former 2019 1st round pick 20th overall), DL Shelby Harris, and QB Drew Lock (former 2019 2nd round pick 42nd overall) for QB Russell Wilson and 2022 4th round pick. The trade won't be official until the league year starts mid-March but cutting Bobby goes into effect immediately and saves the Seahawks about $16.5m in cap space; the Seahawks now have about $51m in cap space (2nd most in the NFL). Russ and Bobby were the last remaining players from the Seahawks 2013 Superbowl winning team. Topic #1 How are you feeling about the trade of Russell Wilson? Topic #2 How are you feeling about the cut of Bobby Wagner? Topic #3 Did the Seahawks get the BEST value for Russ? Why no trade for Bobby? Topic #4 What does this team look like going into 2022? Who's the QB, the MLB, and who re-signs? Predictions Y/N Russ signs an extension with the Broncos in the next 12 months Y/N Broncos are the AFC West Favorite Y/N Bobby stays in the NFC West Y/N Broncos vs. Seahawks is a Primetime Game

The Seahawks finished the year strong with two wins and played the role of SPOILER by denying the Arizona Cardinals a chance for the NFC West crown. Some will question if these two games mean anything for 2022 and some will say the flaws on this team cannot be hidden with change coming. We try to read the tea leaves with the playoffs taking place this weekend for only the 3rd time in Pete's Seahawks career with him. This is the HawksCast.NET Podcast. Topic #1 Are you ready for Jody to give the "Run it back" or does there need to be some big changes made for next year? Topic #2 Do you trust Russ (and his Agent) to restart all the trade rumors or will the off-season go smoothly for him? Topic #3 Hawks Cast Corner - Who gets extended? Topic #4 Which position group really impressed and which group needs an overhaul? Predictions NFC Winner AFC Winner Superbowl Winner Yes/No Russ Returns Yes/No Pete Returns Yes/No An OFF or DEF Coordinator Fired

The Seahawks play their best game of the year in their final home game of the 2021 regular season. Sadly this complete showing comes too late in the season to mean much but it was nice to see the OFF/DEF play functionally for 4 quarters. The Seahawks now find themselves in a position they haven't been in for over a decade and that's as the SPOILER for other teams. They face the division leading Arizona Cardinals and could impact the playoff seeding of so many teams. This is the HawksCast.NET Podcast. Topic #1 What was more impressive, Russ playing a near-perfect game, DK catching 3 TDs, Rashaad Penny winning NFC OFF Player of the Week or the Seahawks CBs getting 3 INTs? Topic #2 Did anything that happened this week change the trajectory of the off-season? Topic #3 Hawks Cast Corner - Did we see some Seahawks players play their final game in front of the home fans? Topic #4 Is there any benefit to "losing" this game for draft positioning? (Seahawks are currently mocked as the #7 pick but could rise to the early teens) Predictions Final Score Seahawks @ Cardinals

The Seahawks get embarrassed in back-to-back games killing any hope of salvaging a playoff run as they fall to the Rams and Bears. The Seahawks have nothing to play for as they face the Detroit Lions in the first of their last two games. In what started as a promising year we are only left with questions for the entire team and the front office. Normally we end the podcast season with our "State of the Seahawks" in the finale but it feels like we're talking about that now. This is the HawksCast.NET Podcast. Topic #1 What went wrong? Topic #2 Who will be here next year to fix it? Topic #3 Hawks Cast Corner - Which is easier to replace; the Head Coach or the Quarterback? Topic #4 Can former players come in to help save the team as ownership? Coaches? Consultants? Predictions Final Score Lions @ Seahawks

The Seahawks won back-to-back games for the only time in the 2021 season and they did it in very strong vashion. The OFF/DEF/SPEC Teams all looked solid as they went to town against the 32nd ranked OFF/DEF and a lot of the credit goes to the OL and Penny. The team now moves to the next game as they need to win the final 4 games to end with a plus-.500 record as they take on the Los Angeles Rams. They just defeated the division leading Cardinals but have been hit with confirmed Covid case after case. Sixteen players have been placed on the covid list for the Rams; zero on the Seahawks. McVay said all players were vaccinated which means if they can show two negative results back-to-back they can play on Sunday. What kind of team will the Seahawks face? This is the HawksCast.NET Podcast. Topic #1 What are the Seahawks playing for in these final 4 games? Topic #2 Is this season a true test of Pete's "Win Forever" philosophy? Topic #3 Hawks Cast Corner - Does the NFL need to revisit it's Covid policy? Topic #4 Los Angeles Rams - Why does McVay have the Seahawks number?

The Seahawks rebound and have secured a season-sweep of the San Francisco 49ers; currently 50% of all their wins in 2021 are against one team. Is this the building block that will help the Seahawks return to form or was this just a blip? The Seahawks are facing a team in worse turmoil in the Houston Texans but instead of just injuries, their meddling management has sunk this team from doing much of anything this year. Can the Seahawks take advantage? This is the HawksCast.NET Podcast. Topic #1 Are you ready to believe that the Seahawks have turned the corner vying for that 7th seed in the NFC? Topic #2 Jody wants the make big changes? Russ is willing to entertain a trade? Pete is thinking about retiring? What madness is going on? Topic #3 Hawks Cast Corner - With Jamal Adams injury is this the time to admit this trade was the worst the FO has made?

The Seahawks have lost three games in a row for the 2nd time this year and there's really no end in sight. The OFF is unable to sustain any type of tempo. control or scheme that looks like it can stay on the field. And the DEF is spending twice the amount of time on the field yet are holding teams to under 17ish points these past few games. All eyes now turn to which players will be back and we're still in Week 13 as they face their division rivals the San Francisco 49ers. This is the HawksCast.NET podcast. Topic #1 Did you expect it to end like this? Topic #2 Is every player giving their best to the team? To Pete?

The Seahawks complete their BYE Week with the return of a healthy Russell Wilson, Chris Carson and Dee Eskridge. The team took care of the lowly Jaguars before the BYE. After a long three games, our QB comes back to lead the team as they travel to Green Bay where the Seahawks have not won since Jon Kitna and Mike Holmgren won in 1999 in our AFC West days. The buzz is increasing as there are still questions about A-A-Ron's availability for Sunday's game as he needs to test negative on Saturday night to play on Sunday. The Seahawks are looking as healthy as they've ever been but will that be enough to change their losing streak in Green Bay. This is the HawksCast.NET podcast. Topic #1 How have your thoughts about Russ' position within the team changed in his absence? Topic #2 What will this Seahawks team look like now that Russ returns? Will that impact the DEF?

The Seahawks suffer another demoralizing loss as the Geno-led team has the ball with a chance to tie or take the go-ahead score but fail on their last drive of the game. The DEF continues its show impressive coverage skills in back-to-back games but were marred by untimely penalties throughout the game. The OFF though was able to use up a lot of clock but outside of one long TD to DK, it never looked in sync and often fizzled out. Penny returned to the OFF but didn't show much in his limited opportunities. The once super reliable Jason Myers suddenly has the yips. Can the Seahawks rebound or are they destined for a top-5 pick as they face the one-win Urban Meyers Jaguars. This is the HawksCast.NET Podcast. Topic #1 Is the DEF doing enough to help the OFF win these games? What about vice-versa? Topic #2 Are you able to enjoy these games or is there some relief knowing they are not your regular Seahawks?

The Seahawks return to primetime again for a Monday Night showdown with the Jameis Winton led New Orleans Saints; who is going to eat that W to cap off Week 7? We got our first look at Geno Smith as our QB and optimism is there but a lot of questions are still left unanswered. The team overcame a 0-14 deficit and rallied to tie the game at 20-20 but a huge turnover sealed the game. The DEF broke their streak of giving up 450 yards of OFF but it was against a lack-luster Steelers team; can the DEF continue to show some development? This is the HawksCast.NET Podcast.

The Seahawks enter a whole new world as Russell Wilson will not be starting for the Seahawks since 2011. Some fans will relish seeing what a non-Russ led team will look like while other fans assume that our team will be even worse as Russ was the only one keeping us afloat. Either way, someone will be right and someone will be wrong as the Seahawks go to Pittsburgh for Sunday Night Football and show what a Geno Smith-led Seahawks team looks like. This is the HawksCast.NET Podcast. Topic #1 Why is there so much optimism with Wilson going to miss 4+ games? Topic #2 Bobby Wagner came out and continues to say the DEF is close to getting it together; do you believe him?

The Seahawks level their record to a glorious 2-2 after defeating two QBs of the rival Niners. It's a short week though as the Seahawks pivot to the LA Rams for Thursday Night Football in their Action Green Jerseys. The DEF made some improvements but there are legit questions on if this was a mirage and the OFF dominated the last 2/3 of the game but before that moment it looked pretty sad. The DEF changed things up with the appearance of Sydney Jones and Ryan Neal. With the rival Rams in town, can the Seahawks continue their TNF dominance? Or will these Stafford-led Rams team show they still deserve to be the pre-season favorite for the NFC West? This is the HawksCast.NET Podcast. Topic #1 What's the bigger mirage; the DEF coming up with turnovers or the OFF scoring in the 2nd half? Topic #2 Is Shane Waldron instilling you with confidence that he's the OC for the job? Is this what you expected from a McVay disciple? Topic #3 Hawks Cast Corner - What's the best rivalry in this rivalry? DK vs Ramsey? Russ/OL vs. Donald? Carroll vs. McVay?

The Seahawks find themselves asking a lot of questions and fans questioning what's wrong with the team. How can a team filled with Pro-Bowlers and All-Pro's be so uneven; 1st in points scored in the 1st half and last in points scored in the 2nd half. Now the Seahawks are coming off back-to-back losses and now pivot to NFC West rivals the San Francisco 49ers. Can the Seahawks find their way before it's too late to panic? This is the HawksCast.NET Podcast. Topic #1 Always the optimist, is Pete Carroll finally going to crack and make big changes mid-season?

The Seahawks suffer a stunning loss to the Titans; their first home opener loss in the past 13 years and now their 3rd straight home loss going back to last season. The Seahawks must regroup and travel to the great lakes state to face the Minnesota Vikings who need to do all they can to avoid a 0-3 start. Injuries are quietly mounting in some key positions but the core is there but could not sustain a drive. Are the Vikings a Titans clone; a strong running game with play-action tendencies to two outstanding WRs? This is the HawksCast.NET Podcast. Topic #1 Did Seattle's explosive plays hurt themselves more than the Titans? Topic #2 What is most likely to get fixed? What's least likely? Penalties, Offensive Consistency, or Defensive Consistency? Topic #3 Hawks Cast Corner - Is Adams the Russ of the DEF? A guy so unique that you don't know how to use him?

The Seahawks open the 2021 season and blow expectations out of the water with a dominating win against the Colts. Pete needed to reset himself after saying the words "Russ" and "Cook" but it was hard to ignore how balanced and effective the entire team looked this past Sunday. Now the Seahawks turn their eyes to another AFC South team, the Tennessee Titans, who got thoroughly stomped by our rival the Arizona Cardinals. Can the Seahawks open Lumen Field with another resounding win? This is the HawksCast.NET Podcast. Topic #1 Who gets the game ball from the opener?

Welcome back for the final preseason game of the year. The Seahawks starters have all gotten a lot of rest but there maybe some turmoil rising with 21 Seahawks entering their final year of their contracts. The Seahawks secured SS Jamal Adams for an additional four more years but there's now other players waiting in line. The Seahawks host the Chargers in the final game but we don't know what to expect as Pete has been keeping things close to his vest. This is the HawksCast.NET Podcast. Topic #1 Have you fallen in love with any player yet? Who's your Mr. August? Topic #2 What are the Seahawks trying to hide in the preseason?

Real football is here and we are so excited. We are so ready to kick off the preseason and we will be covering both the first two games (@Las Vegas & vs. Denver). There's still a lot of question with the roster but the reigning NFC West Champions are taking the field this weekend with a lot of the 2020 roster intact for 2021. This is the HawksCast.NET Podcast. Topic #1 How much do you expect COVID to affect the NFL this year?

Due to unforeseen life, we paused last week's scheduled podcast but now we get to talk about the draft and the schedule! The Seahawks got their participation trophy at the 2021 NFL Draft with their three picks. Draft grades are in, opinions on the rookies are in and there are so many questions on these three selected rookies because none of them "look" like guys that Seattle has drafted in the past. With only three picks, the Seahawks seemed to focus a lot on players that could also play Special Teams. The Hawks Cast Podcast, brought to you by www.hawkcast.net, is happy to know that we are getting so much closer to actual football. Topic #1 How many of these rookies can be a Week 1 Starter? What about a playoff Starter? Topic #2 Does this rookie class show a departure from Pete-ball and more Shane Waldron Ball? Topic #3 Hawks Cast Corner - What's your take on the 2021 Seahawks Schedule? (https://hawkscast.net/forum/topic/2021-seahawks-schedule/) Topic #4 Should players like Metcalf "train" for things outside of football?

The 2021 NFL Draft is here and while the Seahawks will have to wait an agonizing 55 picks before they get to pick with the 56th overall pick on Friday we are here for the draft. This is the lowest draft total for the Seahawks in the entire Pete/John regime; it's also tied with the lowest draft capital in NFL history. Pete has said that their first round pick is S Jamal Adams (and he will be in 2022) as well but the 2021 roster is filled with trade acquisitions besides Adams. The Hawks Cast Podcast is here for the draft and we are brought to you by the Hawks Cast Podcast (https://www.hawkscast.net). Topic #1 Can you be excited for the Seahawks draft with such low capital? Topic #2 Does the FO get credit for Adams, Dunlap and Jackson when they get their draft grade? Topic #3 Hawks Cast Corner - How do you mock the Seahawks draft when they are so unconventional? (https://hawkscast.net/forum/topic/seahawks-mock-based-on-trade-scenarios-three-complete-scenarios-used/ & https://hawkscast.net/forum/topic/7-round-seahawks-mock-no-trades-version/) Topic #4 Did the Seahawks limit themselves by not restructuring Wilson's salary to have more cap space?

The Hawks Cast Podcast returns for season six and we launched a new website (www.hawkscast.net). The offseason is still here for another week or so and the drama does not disappoint. Key starters have been allowed to walk, no one was Franchise Tagged, and quite a few surprise signing occurred. With the 2021 salary cap staying the same, many worried that the Seahawks would have to run a skeleton crew but Pete/John has added to the OL, DL, RB, TE, and CB which were huge areas of concern. This is the Hawks Cast Podcast brought to you by the Hawks Cast Forum. Topic #1 How close did Russell Wilson PR himself out of Seattle? Topic #2 Is Shane Wauldron the answer at OC and does he have the right pieces? Topic #3 Hawks Cast Corner - Did the Seahawks Players do the right thing by advocating for virtual mini-camp?

The 2020 Seahawks season comes to an end against the rival LA Rams. Throughout the Wild Card game, fans had to question the Seahawks game plan going up against a Rams DEF that looks like it's built to stop the Seahawks OFF. Those questions were paused after the game but a few days later the Seahawks made a move and fired their OC, SkyBox Schotty. The new plan is to bring in an OC that will run Carroll's game plan of a balanced OFF that protects the ball with a more aggressive run attack but will that work with Russell Wilson? All this and more on the Hawks Cast Podcast Season Finale. Topic #1 Was the 2020 Seahawks season a successful failure? Topic #2 Did Pete fire the right Coordinator? Topic #3 Hawks Cast Corner - Which team looks to make the biggest leap in the 2021 NFC West? Topic #4 Which player are you extending/re-sign/cutting/walk?

The playoffs return to Seattle as the Seahawks host the Rams this Saturday for the Wild Card Round. This will be the 2nd time that the Seahawks-Rams have played three-times in one season; the last time wasn't a great story for Seattle. But since then the Seahawks have been undefeated at home in the playoffs since the 2005 season. The DEF and Spec Teams have been great down the stretch but the OFF has left fans with a lot of questions. Let's get ready to rumble as this is the Hawks Cast Podast. Topic #1 Do these 12-4 Seahawks stand above the other teams of the past with 12+ wins? Topic #2 What does it say when our OFF looks like it can be shut down blanketing Metcalf and Wilson? Topic #3 Hawks Cast Corner - If you could poach a player from each NFC West team who would you pick? Topic #4 Los Angeles Rams - Will this match-up be different from the last two games? Predictions Final Score Rams vs. Seahawks Other Playoff Games Indy/Buff, TB/WSH, Balt/Tenn, Chi/NO & Cle/Pitt Which is greater: Russ TDs or Donald Sacks More Targets Lockett/Metcalf/Woods/Kupp Yes/No Metcalf's Success Will Come Away from Ramsey?

The Seahawks are newly crowned NFC West Division Champions. This is the first one since 2016 and the 5th crown for Pete in the past 11 years. This was a really hard, fought division with the title coming down the stretch. The Seahawks are still contending for playoff seeding and can end up as the #1-3 seed and could face any of the Wild Card teams if they don't secure the #1 seed. But first the Seahawks travel to Arizona to face the displaced San Francisco 49ers. The Niners have been relegated down to playing spoiler after playing in the Superbowl last year. This is the Hawks Cast Podcast. Topic #1 Does this division crown feel like more of a surprise with how up & down the Seahawks were all year? Topic #2 Has Adams/Dunlap been the best acquisition since Bennett/Arvil? Topic #3 Hawks Cast Corner - Are you rooting for the Rams and Cards to make the playoffs knowing one of them may be a future opponent? Topic #4 San Francisco 49ers - Any concern about the 49ers playing spoiler in a game the Seahawks still need to win?

A great win against a strong DEF helped the Seahawks back into the driver's seat with two games remaining. Add that the Rams lost to the then winless Jets helped them firmly control their playoff position. The Seahawks have secured their 8th playoff trip in the past 9 years under a Bobby/KJ/Russ/Pete Regime. They still have a chance to secure the NFC West outright with a win this Sunday. While the Rams have been a thorn in their side, it's the one franchise that has had a strong edge historically against Seattle too. This is the Hawks Cast Podcast. Topic #1 Should we start to worry that the Seahawks play ugly football? Topic #2 Are you happy with Seattle's ProBowl representation? Topic #3 Hawks Cast Corner - What would it mean to win the toughest division? Topic #4 Los Angeles Rams - Why are the Rams the only team to really have the Seahawks number?

The Seahawks show off they can play a full 60-minute game on OFF, DEF and Spec Teams as they have one of their first blowout in the past couple of years. The winless Jets stay winless as Seattle run up 40 points and Jamal Adams set an NFL record for sacks by a DB with 3 games left in the season. Now attention turns as they travel east for the last time in the regular season to face another NFC East leading team in the Washington Football Team. Their OFF has suffered with poor QB play but their young DEF is thriving and could be a huge challenge for the Seahawks. This is the Hawks Cast Podcast. Topic #1 Does beating the winless Jets (in a convincing manner) make up for the Giants loss? Topic #2 How did this four game stretch (PHI, NYG, NYJ & WSH) become more difficult? Topic #3 Hawks Cast Corner - Do the Seahawks need to start rooting for the Niners and Cards the rest of the season? Topic #4 Washington Football Team - Should Seattle be scared of this top-5 DEF? (YDS/G 4th, Pass/G 3rd, Rush/G 9th, & Pts/G 6th) (Sea YDS/G 27th, Pass/G 32nd, Rush/G 4th, Pts/G 18th) Predictions Final Score Seahawks @ Football Team Which QB Starts Haskins vs Smith Which RB Starts McKissic vs. Gibson More Yards Metcalf vs. Laurin More Touches Carson vs. Hyde More Targets Lockett vs. Metcalf More Targets RBs vs. TEs Y/N IF Seattle gets the #5 WC Seed, do they return to face Washington again? https://forum.hawkscast.com/ https://twitter.com/SeahawksPodcast https://twitter.com/SeahawksForum

The Seahawks suffered one of the worst losses in recent memory against a subpar passing team that barely passed a 100 yards in the air but had nearly 200 yards on the ground. The Seahawks need to collect themselves if they want to be considered a legit playoff contender as they now need to find out what happened on OFF that only scored 10 points and failed to drive down the field and win the game in the final minutes. Everyone's attention now turns to the win-less New York Jets who suddenly don't look as toothless after suffering a near-miracle loss that got their DEF Coordinator fired. This is the Hawks Cast Podcast. Topic #1 What has been the biggest reason for the OFF woes? Topic #2 Is it enough that the Seahawks are still in playoff contention if they're not a Superbowl "favorite?" Topic #3 Hawks Cast Corner - Are the Rams the 2019 49ers; an average QB with a plus-plus DEF? Topic #4 New York Jets - Will either team regret the Jamal Adams trade? Predictions Final Score Jets vs. Seahawks More Passing TDs Darnold vs. Wilson Over/Under Metcalf Targets 9.5 Over/Under Adams Sacks 1.5 Over/Under 3rd Downs Converted 5.5 Over/Under 4th Downs Attempted 1.5 Over/Under Seahawk Turnovers Forced 2.5 Over/Under Seahawk Turnovers 1.5 https://forum.hawkscast.com/ https://twitter.com/SeahawksPodcast https://twitter.com/SeahawksForum

The Seahawks put together another strong defensive showing and did more than enough to win comfortably on Monday Night Football. The conversation all night was that it was Carson Wentz who looked bad and not the Seahawks DEF for making him look bad. Wilson led the OFF but relied almost exclusively on DK Metcalf as his go-to receiver. DK continues to reign supreme and bare that chip on his shoulder that so many teams passed on him. He and Seahawks get to continue their assault as they face the NFC East leading New York Giants at home. This is the Hawks Cast Podcast. Topic #1 Is DK Metcalf the best wide receiver in the NFL? Topic #2 Will fans ever get accustomed to Pete's style of coaching? Topic #3 Hawks Cast Corner - Is winning the division the best opportunity knowing the #5 seed gets the NFC East winner? Topic #4 New York Giants - The Giants are leading the East after winning 3 straight; should fans be taking these teams more seriously?

The Seahawks are coming off a huge win in primetime against division foes, the Arizona Cardinals, and now face another bird-themed team in the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football. Are you reaching for the stars with this DEF team or are you still waiting for the other shoe to drop? The running game came back, the passing game was effective and the DEF played well when it needed to. The Hawks Cast podcast is coming back like all the players off of the injury report. Topic #1 Are you buying or selling the idea that the DEF can be this level of "good" for the rest of the year? Topic #2 Is this balanced OFF the end of the "Let Russ Cook" train? Topic #3 Hawks Cast Corner - Will the Seahawks regret their earlier losses in the best division? Topic #4 Philadelphia Eagles - Why are the Seahawks so good against the Eagles?

The Seahawks suffer another demoralizing defeat as it wasn't so much the DEF that let us down all game but the OFF. Russell Wilson has another multi-turnover game that continues to make all their mistakes look even worse and due to a Hail Mary the Cardinals end up being the number one team in the NFC West and the Seahawks fall to 3rd. It's a quick turnaround as the Seahawks now face that red-hot Cardinals team on Thursday Night. The injuries are still piling up but my body is ready. This is the Hawks Cast Podcast. Topic #1 What has the greater chance to improve; Wilson's Turnover Rate or the DEF building off their last game? Topic #2 Are Seahawks fans overvaluing how good this team is through 9 games? Topic #3 Hawks Cast Corner - Is Pete becoming the worst coach in the West? Topic #4 Arizona Cardinals - Has Murray surpassed Wilson as an MVP front-runner? Predictions: Final Score: Cardinals vs. Seahawks More Total TDs: Murray vs. Wilson More Sacks Avoided: Murray vs. Wilson More Rushing Yards: Murray vs. Seahawks RBs More Targets: Lockett vs. Metcalf vs. Hopkins Over/Under 2.5 Hail-Mary's Shown From Previous Games Over/Under 3.5 Seahawks OFF Starters Missing https://forum.hawkscast.com/ https://twitter.com/SeahawksPodcast https://twitter.com/SeahawksForum

The Seahawks look at what went wrong in Buffalo as the Seahawks were beat in every category; OFF, DEF and Spec Teams. Most people were harping on the DEF but the OFF turned the ball over four times making the DEF protect shorter fields. Can the Seahawks right the ship as they face the LA Rams? This is the Hawks Cast Podcast. Topic #1 Was "Fire Bevell" ever as bad as "Fire Norton?" Topic #2 Who deserved some mid-season hardware? MVP, Unsung Hero, Most Improved, etc. Topic #3 Hawks Cast Corner - Can NFC West cans cool it now that the division when 0-3 over the weekend? Topic #4 Los Angeles Rams - Will a Blitz-happy Aaron Donald make it another long game for Wilson? Predictions Final Score Seahawks @ Rams Yes/No Will the lack of running hurt the OFF Yes/No Will the Secondary continue to give a 10-yard cushion? Will we see the return of Jared Goff or Jared Goof? Yes/No Sack Party continues? Yes/No DEF Turnover drought continues? https://forum.hawkscast.com/ https://twitter.com/SeahawksPodcast https://twitter.com/SeahawksForum

The Seahawks play one of their best games of the year as they face NFC West rival the San Francisco 49ers. While they were not playing at full strength (and neither were the Seahawks) the game was not close by the 3rd quarter. Seahawks were up 23-points before the Seahawks-Killer Nick Mullens lead them to three scoring drives before the Seahawks shut them down. Now the Seahawks travel east where they've won their last 10 games on the east coast to face the Buffalo Bills. This is the Hawks Cast Podcast. Topic #1 Are you starting to feel the DEF with our players getting healthy? Topic #2 All the talk has been Russell Wilson but do we understand how good DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett have been? Topic #3 Hawks Cast Corner - Did the Seahawks put an end to the Niners for the year? Topic #4 Buffalo Bills - Are the Bills the best team the Seahawks will face for the rest of the season? Predictions Final Score Seahawks @ Bills More Rushing Yards Wilson vs. Allen More Targets Lockett/Metcalf More TDs Rushing/Passing First SEA Sack Adams/Dunlop/Robinson/Wagner/Collier/Mayowa/Other Over/Under 2.5 Wilson TDs https://forum.hawkscast.com/ https://twitter.com/SeahawksPodcast https://twitter.com/SeahawksForum

The Seahawks suffer their first defeat this season as they fall in OT to the Cardinals. The Seahawks had a 10-point lead going into the final minutes of the 4th quarter but the OFF couldn't convert a 3rd and short and the DEF couldn't stop a Murray-lead attack. Metcalf's play of the century will be lost to memory because the Seahawks failed to win. Now the Seahawks regroup as some key players return to practice and they face the defending NFC Champs the San Francisco 49er's. This is the Hawks Cast Podcast. Topic #1 Who is the prime reason for our success and who is the prime reason for our first loss? Topic #2 What's the one thing that would suddenly change the Seahawks DEF woes? Topic #3 Hawks Cast Corner - The West continues to lead the NFL in divisional strength; did the Seahawks mess by losing to a divisional foe? Topic #4 San Francisco 49er's - 49er's injuries are worse and does that mean the Seahawks should be favored in a fan-less home game?
