Why is it that the Denver Broncos are so often inclined to assist the Seattle Seahawks in every which way? In the 2009 NFL Draft, Josh McDaniels, et al, were desperate to draft a cornerback by the name of Alphonso Smith.

The Broncos, in their mind, needed to move up in the second round to secure the pick before, well, someone else snatched Smith up. They called the ‘Hawks and proposed a trade, using their 2010 first round pick to seal the deal. Seattle, in turn, used that pick to add safety Earl Thomas and helped propel McDaniels to his...

The Seattle Seahawks sit in second place in the NFC West, and if the season ended today would be in line to claim a Wild Card spot in the playoffs.

However, the injury bug has hit the roster hard, with several key members of the team either on injured reserve, or playing through injury as they attempt to remain on the active roster.

One of the players whose status is in question is third string running back George Holani, who injured a hamstring against the Tennessee Titans in Week 12, an injury [that could see him land on injured reserve...

The Seattle Seahawks rookies combined for 158 snaps in Week 12 against the Tennessee Titans. Tory Horton being placed on IR certainly had a major impact on that number. It could have been even lower had Grey Zabel not managed to play through injury. It’s also worth noting that the offense had 26 fewer plays than in the previous game, which reduced the overall snap count — especially because all of our rookies, except Nick Emmanwori, play on offense.

Let’s analyze some of the key plays from this game!

Grey Zabel – Offensive Guard (48 snaps)

[Status Report:...

The Seattle Seahawks have made a somewhat surprising move, letting go of a cornerback who made a couple of big plays early in the season.

Derion Kendrick, claimed off of waivers by the Seahawks after roster cutdown day in August, was waived on Tuesday in the team’s sole transaction. Considering no one was signed to the active roster after Tory Horton was placed on injured reserve, the Seahawks currently have two vacant spots on the 53-man roster.

Kendrick was called upon early in the season while Devon Witherspoon was out injured. He played a combined 99 snaps against the Pittsburgh...

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Seahawks fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.

We’ve got a light week for Seahawks Reacts. The confidence poll comes standard but we’re skipping the score prediction for the Week 13 home game against the Minnesota Vikings. Instead, we’re taking a longer term view of something potentially historic.

As noted earlier in the week, Jaxon Smith-Njigba needs 652 yards over the final six games to break Calvin Johnson’s single-season...

Last week, after the Seattle Seahawks lost to the league favorite, Los Angeles Rams, the Seahawks saw a dip in their national power rankings. Will a win over the Tennessee Titans be enough to move Seattle up, or the fact that it was only a one-possession win over the one-win Titans be enough to drop Seattle down?

Well, perhaps this author is a bit too strict on Seattle, because much to his surprise, all five national media sites polled (NFL.com, Pro Football Talk, Bleacher Report, ESPN, and CBS Sports) have moved the Seahawks up in their rankings. The surprise may...

A familiar face is back with the Seattle Seahawks.

The Seahawks are widely considered to be one of the better teams in the NFL this season, and roster depth has no doubt played a role in their ascension. Consider the fact that eight players at key positions have hit the IR in the past several weeks. Not to mention a slew of avifauna that hit that same list earlier this season. As well, several warriors from our squad are either questionable or doubtful for this Sunday’s tilt against the Minnesota Vikings back home in Seattle. Specifically, Minnesota-born safety Ty Okada,...

The Seattle Seahawks came away with a road win over the Tennessee Titans as expected, but not without multiple injuries in which every player was ruled out by halftime.

Linebacker and special teams contributor Chazz Surratt, running back and kick returner George Holani, and backup safety Ty Okada all left Seattle’s 30-24 victory in the first half and did not return. Surratt was rolled up on and suffered a significant looking ankle injury while blocking on a kick return, Holani pulled his hamstring on a Seahawks punt return, and Okada grabbed his hip after making a tackle on Titans receiver...

One of the more impressive and encouraging things from the Seattle Seahawks’ 30-24 win over the Tennessee Titans was the mere fact that Grey Zabel even played. What looked to be a significant knee injury against the Los Angeles Rams turned out to be something minor, yet something that could’ve reasonably been construed as causing him to miss at least one game. After all, Zabel was limited in practice all week for the Titans game and listed as questionable.

Zabel played all 48 snaps without issue.

The first-round rookie left guard didn’t have to rotate with Christian Haynes or come...

Okay, so the Tampa Bay Buccaneers did less than nothing against the Los Angeles Rams and Baker Mayfield got hurt in the process. That stings for the NFC West race, which has the Rams in pole position while the Seattle Seahawks need to see LA stumble at least once more outside of their Week 16 rematch in Seattle.

There is reason to still believe the San Francisco 49ers are dangerous even with all of their defensive injuries. Ricky Pearsall is back, Brock Purdy is back, George Kittle has been back, and they’re 7-4 with a very easy schedule for the...
