NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Brett Bivens brings us up to speed on the storylines he’s watching tonight at Century Link Field when the Titans visit the Seahawks in NFL preseason action. With starting right guard John Moffitt out for 2-3 weeks newly acquired Deuce Lutui will get to start in his place and I want to see his conditioning. On Saturday I want to see Bruce Irvin and Jason Jones be disruptive forces.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Brett Bivens tells us today the Seahawks have filled one of their biggest needs when they drafted Bruce Irvin defensive end West Virginia with the 15th overall selection. Mel Kiper said what? Jon Gruden said who? Seattle said have you heard of him? We’re all shocked. But in Pete Carroll and John Schneider the 12th man trusts.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks writer Insider Steve is back with a pre-draft 2012 NFL article about what the 12th man will be talking about around the water cooler on Friday morning. The team is on the verge of Super Bowl contention and the right pick(s) could vault us over the top. Steve says the Seahawks will draft wide receiver Michael Floyd from Notre Dame. Shocker? Yes. Great Pick? Yes.
NWSB insider Brandon Choate brings us an interesting take on the Seattle Seahawks holding the 12th overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft. Do they trade the 12th pick for extra spots in the draft? Or do they choose the player they are in love with? Leave it to Pete Carroll and John Schneider to make the best of the situation…no matter what. Melvin Ingram, Quinton Coples, Ryan Tannehill? We’ll know Thursday.
Seahawks insider Brett Bivens brings us his explanation of South Carolina Gamecocks linebacker or defensive end, and provides some reasons to love him and hate him as a Seattle Seahawks 2012 NFL draft pick. Though Melvin Ingram may not posses the measurables of some other players in the draft he is Brett’s number 1 rated draft prospect for the Seahawks.
Seahawks insider Brandon Choate brings us another preview of things to come. With the NFL draft 3 weeks away, the Seahawks need to think about addressing their remaining team needs. Drafting a linebacker like Luke Kuechly or a defensive end like Whitney Mercilus would sure take care of those holes in the roster.David DeCastro and Trent Richardson look awfully inviting as well.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Brett Bivens tells us today the Seahawks Pete Carroll can say there is an open competition all he wants but Flynn is not being brought in as anything but the starter. The Seattle Seahawks agreed to terms with free agent quarterback Matt Flynn on a 3-year $26 million dollar deal with $10 million guaranteed. NOT backup money.
