As we bask in the warm afterglow of that huge Seattle Seahawks Divisional Round win, we must ask ourselves: is John Schneider the most underrated figure in the history of the Seahawks organization? Let’s take a look at an executive who has stood the test of time in a league with tons of eyeballs and scrutiny associated.
We talk so much about head coaches having a very clear vision… John Schneider needs his flowers. J.S. has always had a very clear vision, one that perfectly aligned with Pete Carroll’s well. The truly beautiful thing is that we’ve also seen it...

It’s NFC Championship week for the Seattle Seahawks! A trip to the Super Bowl is on the line at Lumen Field, with the Seahawks looking to win the rubber match against the Los Angeles Rams, the only team to ever come to Seattle’s current stadium and win a playoff game. Let’s hope they don’t accomplish such a feat for a...

The Seattle Seahawks running back room was dealt a huge blow when Zach Charbonnet tore his ACL in the NFC Divisional Round against the San Francisco 49ers. Charbonnet led the team with 12 touchdowns as part of a 1-2 punch alongside Kenneth Walker III, who dominated the 49ers apart with 116 yards and three touchdowns.
Just as the Seahawks were finally figuring out their running game in recent weeks, they now have to make a major adjustment ahead of the NFC Championship against the Los Angeles Rams. It’s a near certainty that Walker will be seeing his workload increase for...

Zach Charbonnet will not play in the NFC Championship Game, a brutal loss for the Seattle Seahawks.
But if there is a silver lining it’s this: Kenneth Walker may finally be ready to shoulder the entire load on his own, helped by two factors. A lighter workload, and a late-season coaching change.
Walker played 498 regular season snaps this year, less than his rookie or second season. It was only 47% of the team’s offensive snaps, his fewest in his career by several percentage points as he split time with Charbonnet.
But more interestingly, Walker has been a substantively different...

The Seattle Seahawks played their first Divisional Round game since the January 2020 loss to the Green Bay Packers, and they did so with a level of focus and execution that showed up clearly on tape. Despite a week filled with external noise and rivalry-driven narratives, Seattle delivered a dominant 41–6 victory. From an All-22 perspective, this game is a strong case study of what this defense can be when it consistently plays within structure, maintains leverage, and communicates effectively across all three levels.
More importantly, this game reinforced a central theme of the Seahawks’ postseason ceiling: the offense is...

The San Francisco 49ers will be in need of a new defensive coordinator for a fourth consecutive year.
With the 49ers now out of the playoffs following their 41-6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Divisional Round, it didn’t take long for Robert Saleh to find his second head coaching job. He’s set to head back to the AFC to coach the Tennessee Titans.
Saleh coached the New York Jets from 2021 to 2024, which didn’t go too well but nothing ever seems to go well for the Jets these days. He was the 49ers’ defensive coordinator from...

The NFL’s Divisional Round is complete, and now the Conference Championship weekend awaits for the Seattle Seahawks and three other teams. In the meantime, the College Football Playoff will crown its second national champion of the 12-team era in Miami on Monday night.
In a statement few barely believed could ever happen, the Indiana Hoosiers are the undisputed best team in the country and have the best quarterback in college football. Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza is from Miami and gets to return home for the wonderful opportunity of sealing Indiana’s first ever national title. Curt Cignetti’s group smashed Alabama...

The Seattle Seahawks rookies combined for 141 snaps in the NFC Divisional Round romp of the San Francisco 49ers. That number was inflated by garbage-time reps in the fourth quarter. It’s also important to remember that the Seahawks currently have two rookies on Injured Reserve and had four rookies inactive for this game as healthy scratches.
Let’s break down some of the key snaps from the All-22.
Coming off the best game of his young career, Zabel followed it up with another strong performance in both phases, playing a key role...

Zach Charbonnet’s season-ending knee injury was a huge bummer for the Seattle Seahawks ahead of the NFC Championship game. However, that was not the only injury news for Seattle.
Head coach Mike Macdonald also called starting left tackle Charles Cross “day-to-day” with a foot injury. Cross started the Divisional Game against the San Francisco 49ers but was held out the rest of the game “out of caution” according to Macdonald. He went on to say that “we will need to work through that, day-to-day is the best way to put it.” regarding Cross’ foot.
If Cross is unable to go...

Amidst arguably the most stunning season in Seattle Seahawks history, and the wildest NFL playoffs in recent history, we still have one last college football game to play.
On Monday night, we will see one of the most unlikely national championship games ever, as the No. 10 seed Miami Hurricanes return to home, literally and figuratively, to their place as a blue blood in the sport, while the No. 1 seed Indiana Hoosiers look to finish off the most dominant Cinderella season ever.
While many would assume the Seahawks are all in on Sunday and beating the Los Angeles Rams...
