Field Gulls
A new season of Seattle Seahawks football is upon us. I know we’re in the middle of game week and there’s great anticipation in the air, but I also want to take the time to inform and refresh everyone on who’s on the Field Gulls staff. You’ll also get brief background info, some clarity on our roles within the site, as well as links to their author profiles.
Meet your Field Gulls team for the 2025 season!
Mookie Alexander. I’ve been a formal part of the Field Gulls team since 2017, the lead manager since 2020, and I’ve been a full-time SB Nation employee since 2022. As the GM I’m in charge of everything, including the hires on this staff, the layout, writing assignments, the whole shebang. You may also know me as the Enemy Reaction guy, and I hope I get to do a lot of Enemy Reactions this year.
John Gilbert. A member of the staff since 2016, John’s official job title is Deputy Editor, meaning he’s second in command. Those tasks include writing his own articles, editing and scheduling articles written by other staff members, and other behind the scenes stuff that is too dull to get into. Gilbert is our resident salary cap and NFL finances expert and is also famous for his headline writing, which has never upset anyone in the comments section ever.
Tyler Alsin. Tyler won a FanPost contest writing about Seahawks legend Doug Baldwin, and six years later he’s one of our most experienced Field Gulls writers. Whether it’s opinion pieces or news write-ups, there’s something about Tyler that makes him the site engagement king. Yes, even over John Gilbert. Tyler is somehow one of the only people on this staff who actually lives in the state of Washington, much less in the Seattle area.
Terrance Robinson. This is year five of Terrance handling everyone’s favorite hangout spot while living it up in Texas. Terrance has Pre-Snap Reads links ready (along with music recommendations) just about every morning, unless he’s unavailable and I sub in for him. After every Seahawks game, Pre-Snap Reads becomes Post-Snap Reads.
Ted Zahn. Ted is in his third season with the Field Gulls staff, bringing Seahawks history articles and analysis every week. His biggest assignment was covering the NFL Draft for Field Gulls as credentialed media in his home state of Wisconsin back in April.
Alexandre Castro. Joining us all the way from Brazil, Alexandre is our lead Seahawks and NFL Draft prospect analyst. He breaks down the All-22 so you don’t have to, but he also contributes elsewhere in terms of scouting potential trade targets and free agent signings.
John Tapia. Wait, how many people named John are on this staff?! Tapia is from New Mexico and primarily focuses on Seahawks and other NFL news. He’s also one of many who handle the Seahawks Reacts survey results articles,...
