As the calendar turns and the list of teams in the playoff hunt slowly burns, the Seattle Seahawks look to be one of the legit Super Bowl contenders on the ledger. How will Mike Macdonald handle his postseason debut as head coach? He’s seemed very prepared and resourceful every step of the way up until this point.

We’ve been witness to the new regime attacking and solving things like the run defense, the middle linebacker position, tackling issues, a deep threat, an offensive guard, etc.

The next frontier of improvement for this Seahawks team looking to make a run, is...

[Seahawks or Shanahan: Who is the biggest threat to Christian McCaffrey? –...

If there was ever a sign that Seattle Seahawks receiver Rashid Shaheed will not miss any game time after last Sunday’s concussion, the Wednesday injury report is the best news possible to wrap up 2025.

Unlike Tuesday, which was a walkthrough, the Seahawks had a normal practice on Wednesday, and Shaheed was a full participant. Shaheed left the win over the Carolina Panthers in the first quarter, when Mike Jackson Sr. slung him into a member of the Panthers staff while out of bounds. No flag was thrown, Shaheed was initially ruled questionable before he was declared out in the...

As the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks prepare for the game of the year, the College Football Playoff is hitting its stride. The quarterfinals are underway, and we have a massive one tonight between Ohio State and Miami.

The Buckeyes are the defending champs, while the Hurricanes are trying to bring back the 80’s as we head into the new year. There are some massive prospects, literally and figuratively, that the Seahawks will likely be watching tonight, from a scouting perspective.

Don’t be surprised if a few Seattle scouts are in Dallas tonight for this massive game at the...

Any hope of the Seattle Seahawks putting safety and special teams standout D’Anthony Bell back on the practice squad was squashed by the team they just defeated last week.

The Carolina Panthers claimed Bell off of waivers on Wednesday, a day after Seattle waived Bell to make room for the return of Derick Hall. Bell has been with the Seahawks all season after signing as a free agent from the Cleveland Browns in the offseason. He’s been back-and-forth between the practice squad and active roster, recording a half-sack and a blocked punt along the way.

Bell is the fourth Seahawks...

The Seattle Seahawks have won six games in a row, averaging almost 30 points per game in the process, and are a win away from securing a franchise record 14th win and the NFC’s number one seed. And yet, something feels off about the offense. An offense that was lighting up the NFL through most of the early portion of the season.

It sounds silly to nitpick a team that hasn’t lost since mid-November and is looking like one of the greatest Seahawks teams ever assembled, but with heightened expectations of a Super Bowl given the way this season has...

Not every comfortable win looks clean on the tape and the Seattle Seahawks’ game against the Carolina Panthers is a good example of that. The tape shows a Seahawks team that won through structure, discipline, and concept execution more than overwhelming talent. The margins were controlled, mistakes were limited, and the plan — while conservative at times — worked exactly as intended.

Defensive structure against the run

Seattle’s run defense looks far better on tape than it has at various points earlier in the season, and the improvement starts with gap discipline. The Seahawks consistently played...

Doubling-down on the 49ers being overrated – Seaside Joe We’ve seen teams...

The Seattle Seahawks may have injury question marks at left tackle beyond just Charles Cross.

Seattle held a Tuesday walkthrough instead of a normal practice for their Saturday night tilt with the San Francisco 49ers. With the NFC West title and No. 1 seed at stake, there could be a possible issue along the offensive line for the Seahawks. Charles Cross was estimated as a non-participant, which is not surprising given his hamstring injury was expected to cost him the remainder of the regular season. What is new is backup tackle Josh Jones showing as a DNP with ankle and...

Last week, the Seattle Seahawks were ranked number one by all five national media sites polled (NFL.com, Pro Football Talk, Bleacher Report, ESPN, and CBS Sports). This occurred after the Seahawks took on the Los Angeles Rams in a roller coaster prime time victory in week 16. To nobody’s surprise, after Seattle defeated the Carolina Panthers in Week 17, the team remains at number one in all five rankings. This makes this week’s power rankings roundup (the last of 2025) a tad less controversial. However, let us still walk through what the five national media sites are saying about the...

The Seattle Seahawks’ rookies logged a combined 151 snaps in Week 17 against the Carolina Panthers. That total is down slightly from last week, but still in the same range, especially when factoring in the overtime game against the Rams the week prior. For the second consecutive week, Seattle opted to dress Connor O’Toole over nose tackle Brandon Pili, a decision that appears to be driven primarily by special teams usage. O’Toole saw just four snaps in garbage time.

As always, the focus here is on process and technique rather than box score results.
