NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Brandon Choate brings us the path for the 6 Seahawks to get into this weekend’s Pro Bowl. Let’s take a look at how these six made it to Hawaii. Russell Okung and Max Unger protected Russell Wilson and Marshawn Lynch while Earl Thomas led the defense all year long. Leon Washington’s record tying season didn’t hurt, either.
NWSB Insdier and Seattle Seahawks blogger Brandon Choate brings us what he loved and hate about Sunday’s game against the Jets. Sidney Rice, Golden Tate and Zach Miller all stepped up big time in the pass game while Marshawn Lynch hit another milestone. Richard Sherman continued to play lockdown defense while Brandon Browner is quietly putting together some solid plays.
NWSB Insider and Washington Huskies blogger Brandon Choate brings us his game balls from the Huskies’ week 11 game against Utah. The last home game of the season ended in glorious victory as Keith Price clicked with his biggest playmakers Austin Seferian-Jenkins and Kasen Williams while Bishop Sankey cruised to 1,000 yards on the season. John Timu and the Husky secondary played very while while Travis Coons kept a big time player under wraps.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Brandon Choate brings us an old wound to give extra motivation to root for a Seahawks win on Sunday against the New York Jets. It was 1998 and the Seahawks had built up a sizeable lead before Vinny Testaverde and Keyshawn Johnson made their marks. And while the game winning score wasn’t a score, it still counted as one anyway.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Brandon Choate brings us his weekly 5 Seattle Seahawks who must impress. This week, the Seahawks take on the Jets in Seattle. Russell Wilson will need to have another good game, while receivers like Sidney Rice still have lots to prove with a big game. Bruce Irvin will be looking to pressure Mark Sanchez into trouble while Mike Morgan has some BIG shoes to fill this week.
NWSB Insider and Washington Husky blogger Brandon Choate brings us his week 11 preview between the Washington Huskies and Utah Utes. Utah is coming off of a thrashing of Washington State while the Huskies just earned their first road victory in 7 attempts. Keith Price will need to step up as the Utah run defense is tough. Price will need to hit star TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins and Kasen Williams in order to make some big plays.
NWSB insider and Washington Husky blogger Brandon Choate brings us his game balls from the Huskies’ week 10 victory over Cal. Bishop Sankey has stepped up in a big way this season and that wasn’t any different this week. Austin Seferian-Jenkins got the ball and made the best of it while Sean Parker and Shaq Thompson have played big roles on the defensive side of the ball.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Brandon Choate brings us his week 9 love ‘em & hate ‘em from the Vikings vs Seahawks game on Sunday. Marshawn Lynch ran a physical game and it paid dividends. It allowed Russell Wilson to hit open receivers and for the offense to roll to the victory. Oh yeah, Adrian Peterson did pretty well, too.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Brandon Choate brings us his 5 Seattle Seahawks who must impress in their week 9 clash with the Minnesota Vikings. Yet again Richard Sherman is probably going to draw the hardest assignment of the day. Percy Harvin is one of the most explosive players in the NFL. Whoever wins this battle could lead their team to a W. Christian Ponder vs. Russell Wilson should be good too.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Brandon Choate brings us his 5 Seattle Seahawks who must impress in their week 8 clash with the Detroit Lions. Russell Wilson will need to continue doing his job while the receivers need to step up and do their jobs. The linebackers particularly K.J. Wright will have to keep an eye on Brandon Pettigrew and Richard Sherman will have to shut down Megatron.
NWSB Insider and Washington Husky blogger Brandon Choate brings us his week 9 game preview between the Washington Huskies and the visiting Oregon State Beavers. Washington will need to get back their confidence as they play yet another top 10 team this week. Keith Price will need to hold onto the ball and try to get it in the hands of his playmakers. The Husky defense will need to be aware of Markus Wheaton, the highly regarded WR for the Beavers.
NWSB Insider and Washington Huskies blogger Brandon Choate brings us what he thinks went wrong this week when the Huskies headed to Arizona to take on the Wildcats. This week, he has a different twist on his regular article, instead going over the problems that are plaguing this program as a whole this season. Keith Price needs to go back to the leader of last year and Steve Sarkisian needs to dial up game plans to cater to what he has available to him.
