NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Reggie Gill weighs in today with some opinion on the Marshawn Lynch DUI arrest news coming out of Oakland this past weekend. He states this just couldn’t have happened at a worse time. He asks the questions, are the Seahawks prepared to start rookie Robert Turbin, Leon Washington, or gasp… Kregg Lumpkin? Maybe move Michael Robinson up into Lynch’s position?
NWSB Insider Brandon Choate brings us his reasons why the Seattle Seahawks should be the featured team on HBO’s Hard Knocks series. With the upcoming team competitions, the overwhelming personalities on the team, and the ability to show off their facilities and uniforms, the Seahawks would be the perfect team. Lets see Richard Sherman, Doug Baldwin, Pete Carroll, Mike Williams, Tom Cable, Ken Norton Jr. and the rest.
Seahawks insider Brett Bivens brings us his explanation of how Stanford offensive lineman David DeCastro could be the perfect pick for the Seattle Seahawks in the 2012 NFL Draft. With the 12th pick in the draft, the Seahawks can grab one of the best players from any position on the field out of college. Picking David DeCastro would not only solidify the Seahawks offensive line, but it would also ensure that Michael Robinson has plenty of room.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Insider Steve weighs in on the signing of Matt Flynn. Which he says gives the Seahawks flexibility in spades. Not only do they have their QB of the future, but now there is no need to waste valuable 2012 NFL Draft picks. Use the draft to fill in the holes that remain at left guard, defensive end, and linebacker. If Visanthe Shiancoe decides to sign elsewhere maybe tight end.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Brett Bivens tells us the Seahawks got their man. This isn’t exactly breaking news. Marshawn Lynch locked up before the franchise tag deadline. He’s making a Four-year $31 million contract with $17 million guaranteed now. Which seems like a bargain when you compare him to the other top backs in the league.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Brett Bivens tells us last season the Seahawks aren’t making a huge splash in free agency signing other teams’ players but they are keeping their own core together. Last week it was Marshawn Lynch to avoid free agency, this week Heath Farwell, Red Bryant and now Michael Robinson have been re-signed by John Schneider and Pete Carroll and the Seahawks.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Brett Bivens tells us the what a great move it was by the Seahawks to sign Marshawn Lynch a 25 year old power back with 5 years experience who can handle the majority of the workload. He says they must re-sign Michael Robinson a 29 year old fullback coming off a season where he played in his first pro bowl.
Seahawks insider Brett Bivens breaks out his red sharpie today in his newest piece. He is handing out his end-of-the-year grades to the Seattle Seahawks offense. How will Tarvaris Jackson, Marshawn Lynch, Michael Robinson, Sidney Rice, Zach Miller, Robert Gallery, Mike Williams, and Doug Baldwin grade out? And how will up and comers like John Moffitt and Cameron Morrah score?
In the wake of the 2012 Pro Bowl this weekend, Seahawks insider Brandon Choate breaks down how the Seahawks fared in the game. Earl Thomas, Kam Chancellor, Brandon Browner, Michael Robinson and Marshawn Lynch all played in the Pro Bowl like they did all season long. The defensive players were in on almost every play while Robinson and Lynch were the NFC battery in the backfield most of the second half.
Seattle Seahawks blogger Clinton Bell tells us a breakdown of each of the players stats for the season, and what it means for the Seahawks to have Earl Thomas, Marshawn Lynch, Michael Robinson, Brandon Browner, and Kam Chancellor to represent them in Hawaii. This year’s Seahawks Pro-Bowl players show the fans just what this team has to offer in the future.
Seattle Seahawks blogger Clinton Bells tells us the December 1st 2011 game versus the Philadelphia Eagles was the game that included his touchdown of the year for the Seahawks. National television has been good to the Seahawks the past few years, and on this evening Marshawn Lynch made sure that they kept up their reputation of big games in front of the whole country.
Clinton Bell brings us his top 5 unrestricted free agents that the Seattle Seahawks must re-sign this year. Obviously Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch and DE Red Bryant make the list, but who else is on there? The names might surprise you. Guard and tackle Paul McQuistan, LeRoy Hill and our man at the Real Rob Report and special teams captain Michael Robinson.
