NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Alistair Corp made us all jealous a couple weeks ago when he was able to catch up with former Seahawks All-Pro fullback Mack Strong. The definition of a class act, he answered all Alistair’s questions, and wasn’t TOO obnoxious when he beat me him a throwing contest (the difference between a 16-year NFL pro and a sports writer we suppose). Mack weighs in on Super Bowl XL.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Alistair Corp tells us to him the following things went wrong for the Hawks on Thursday versus the San Francisco 49ers. Dropped passes have once again hindered the Seahawks offense, and any chances of winning this game. Defense kept it close, but gave up monster yardage to Frank Gore. Special teams didn’t do their part either, especially return specialist Leon Washington.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Alistair Corp tells us his favorite Seahawks TOUCHDOWN in week 6 vs. the Patriots was the Doug Baldwin TD catch. As mentioned, Baldwin falls which mistimed the route poorly, but as the ball is delivered by Russell Wilson he does an excellent job of regaining body position and jumps into the air to catch it with his entire body and keeps control while falling to the ground.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Alistair Corp after each week of the regular season and possibly during an NFL playoff game or the Super Bowl will bring you his Seahawks game balls. Balls are awarded to the Hawks offensive MVP Russell Wilson, and on defense this week Richard Sherman. For Special Teams Leon Washington made good use of his limited returns.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Alistair Corp tells us the best Seahawks TOUCHDOWN in week 5 vs. the Panthers was the Golden Tate’s 13 yard catch. With a three wide reciever set, Russell Wilson had options, but Golden Tate was once again his man as the Seahawks scored their only TD on Sunday in the win over Carolina.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Alistair Corp after each week of the regular season and possibly during an NFL playoff game or the Super Bowl will bring you his Seahawks game balls. Balls are awarded to the Hawks offensive MVP Russell Wilson, and on defense this week Bruce Irvin the rookie 1st round pick. For Special Teams Jon Ryan gets the game ball, plus coach Brian Schneider.
Whitecaps 4-0 Chivas USA The Vancouver Whitecaps finally got back to their winning ways on Wednesday night, winning a huge game 4-0. The win puts the Whitecaps up 5 points over FC Dallas, with two games remaining. FC Dallas has 3 games remaining, including a Sunday game against the same Chivas team. Love ‘em Cautiously Optimistic [...]
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Alistair Corp tells us the best Seahawks TOUCHDOWN in week 4 vs. the Rams was the Marshawn Lynch’s 18-yard run. They run a play with no tight ends, but Michael Robinson brings in some blocks while Beast Mode does the rest.
NWSB Insider and BC Lions blogger Alistair Corp after each week of the regular season and possibly during the CFL playoffs should the Leo’s be so lucky will stop by and bring you his B.C. Lions game balls. Balls are awarded to the Leo’s offensive MVP Marco Iannuzzi who had a nice game after veterans Geroy Simon and Arland Bruce went down. On Defense Adam Bighill again. No surprise. Solomon Elimimian welcome back. Not.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Alistair Corp tells us to him the following things went wrong for the Hawks on Sunday versus the St. Louis Rams. Last week: Chris Clemons? 4 sacks. Bruce Irvin? 2 sacks. Brandon Mebane? 2 sacks. Exciting prospect that a legitimate pass rush might join an elite secondary. Not so fast! Jason Jones and Alan Branch were the guys that got to Sam Bradford this week.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Alistair Corp visited Century Link field this past weekend. He got to interview two former Hawks. HUGE thank you to Degree Men, Mack Strong, and Norm Johnson for giving him this opportunity! Johnson played 18 seasons in the NFL for the Seahawks (1982-90), Falcons (91-94), Steelers (95-98), and the Eagles (1999). He graduated from UCLA in 1981.
