In his second entry of real NFL action, Seattle Seahawks rookie safety Nick Emmanwori found himself involved in all phases of the game, collecting nine tackles and one tackle-for-loss. He was organized exclusively as the Nickel in Mike Macdonald’s 4-2-5 packages, and mostly aligned to the field, regardless if it was the pass-strength or not. From there he was assigned in coverage the cover-3 curl-flat zone, the curl...

The first injury report is out for the Seattle Seahawks’ Week 7 showdown with the Houston Texans, and it’s very encouraging.
Cornerback Riq Woolen appears to be near to a return after being a full participant in practice. He missed last week as a limited participant due to a concussion, so fully practicing to start the week should put him on track to return to the starting lineup.
Meanwhile, cornerback Devon Witherspoon and safety Julian Love were limited participants, which is better than the DNPs they had when they missed the Jacksonville Jaguars game. Having the three most important members...

The Pittsburgh Steelers are 4-1 and might win the AFC North by default. Their rivals have all changed Week 1 starting quarterbacks either for poor play or injury, and the plot twist is that Joe Flacco was the Cleveland Browns starter on opening day and is now the starter for the Cincinnati Bengals. Joe Burrow isn’t coming back any time soon, so Bengals fans get a Joe at QB who knows how to beat an NFC West team in the Super Bowl.
Anyway, the only reason for us to pay attention to this game (outside of scouting future Seahawk Trey...

The Seattle Seahawks bounced back from their home loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, beating the Jacksonville Jaguars in Florida. The Jacksonville team was 4-1 with two close wins against the Kansas City Chiefs (on the final drive) and the San Francisco 49ers (riddled with injuries), a loss to the Cincinnati Bengals with Jake Browning, and a win over the Houston Texans, our next opponent.
The defense put on a strong pass-rush performance, recording seven sacks on Trevor Lawrence, a number that could have reached double digits given the missed opportunities. However, the secondary made serious mistakes that left the...

In a season that has brought praise to head coach Mike Macdonald’s emerging defense, one player on that side of the ball has faced much controversy: Riq Woolen.
The artist (player) formerly known as Tariq hasn’t had his best year, experiencing ups and downs, and leads the team in penalties committed. Some of these factors have led to trade speculation swirling around him ahead with the trade deadline less than three weeks away (11/4).
Whether you are for or against a Woolen trade this year, ESPN’s Bill Barnwell had a trade idea that we can all dislike in harmony.
Barnwell’s...

The Seattle Seahawks had a golden opportunity to tee off against one of their biggest weaknesses from a year ago. That opportunity – barring an injury – has passed.
Laken Tomlinson, Seattle’s starting left guard from the 2024 season, was curiously signed by the Houston Texans in the offseason. He has performed….about the same as what we saw in Seattle.
Hello, Leonard Williams. Let’s get them seven sacks again.
But alas, the Texans have learned what Geno Smith and others realized in ‘24, and as of a week ago Tomlinson has been benched.
You got your wish, Mike Muad’Dib.

With the NFL trade deadline looming on Nov. 4, there is much speculation around all 32 NFL teams and which players they could trade for, or trade away. So how could this trade deadline look for the Seattle Seahawks? With midseason acquisitions of players like Marshawn Lynch, Duane Brown, Quandre Diggs, Leonard Williams, and Ernest Jones IV, John Schneider has seemingly shown himself to be a master of the midseason trade. And with the Seahawks now being 4-2 and tied for first in the NFC West the Seahawks could be looking to add to their arsenal again this year.

The Seattle Seahawks added a wideout on Wednesday, signing Tyler Scott to the practice squad.
The 24-year-old third-year man from the University of Cincinnati was most recently on the practice squad for the Indianapolis Colts, having played for the Chicago Bears in preseason action. He was originally selected in the 4th Round of the 2023 NFL Draft out by the Bears.
Scott brings deep speed and kick return experience (315 yards of it) into the fold. He has recorded 18 career passes for 173 receiving yards, 41 rushing yards and zero touchdowns. Most of those stats were recorded in his...

The Seattle Seahawks haven’t added anyone to either the practice squad or active roster this week, but they have had tryouts.
Per the NFL transaction wire, three defensive backs and a linebacker were brought in for tryouts:
Lewis is a UDFA rookie who played at Notre Dame before a final season transfer to Syracuse, where he was third-team All-ACC. He was on the Tennessee Titans preseason squad but did not make it past roster cutdown day. Slaughter similarly is a UDFA rookie who didn’t...

The Seattle Seahawks rookies combined for 182 snaps in Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. That was the most so far this season. This included two UDFAs contributing for the first time, with EDGE Connor O’Toole (#57) and DL Jared Ivey (#51) taking 4 and 3 snaps, respectively.
All data used in this article was taken from PFF.
Let’s analyze some of the key plays from this win!
The first-round pick still has his ups and downs. The positive side is that his mistakes haven’t caused major problems like a sack or...
