Post-Snap Reads 10/13: Seahawks show grit, focus in big road win vs. Jaguars
Field Gulls Field Gulls

Before we dive into the links together, I’d like to exercise a bit of privilege and personally note something partially obvious, but nonetheless worthwhile: Jaxon Smith-Njigba is the franchise player we’ve been looking for. He’s the best of our two favorite and dearly transactioned receivers, and combined with his uncanny route-running and controlled madness, the ceiling for Smith-Njigba is yet to be breached. From Rockwall, TX to your living room, Jaxon is undoubtebly the freakin’ man. Thank you for attending my ThadTalk.

In Today’s Links: oh gosh, you know how it goes Monday morning’s during the season. We’ve got takeaways, numbers of note, reactions (both untethered and grounded), things to worry about, things to not worry about, random links to products you don’t particularly want, et al. Our Seattle Seahawks have moved to 4 and 2 on the 2025 season and that is cause for celebration. Enjoy your Monday. Thanks for being here.
