NWSB Managing editor “Q” weighs in with another 2012 NFL article on the Seattle Seahawks. On Monday the Seahawks traded a 7th round pick to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for Kellen Winslow Jr. Neither Cameron Morrah or Anthony McCoy were going to be the answer for the Seahawks as the 2nd string TE in 2012. Winslow is an immediate upgrade at the position. It’s also no secret that Seattle was looking to beef up the position.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Matt Church tells us today about what is actually going on at the 2012 Seahawks OTA’s for Phase 1, 2 and 3 minicamps.

Great Pick? Yes.
Seahawks insider Brandon Choate brings us his take on the Seattle Seahawks front office and the free agency madness. With a small batch of viable free agent quarterbacks and a thin crop of QBs in the 2012 NFL Draft, he feels that Tarvaris Jackson is still the right man for the starting quarterback job with the Seahawks. He aslo trusts Pete Carroll and John Schneider.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Brett Bivens tells us the Seahawks will not look to make a huge splash here but could look to upgrade the depth of the 5th or 6th player on the roster at this position. Mario Manningham a 25 year old speedster would be nice. Ben Obomanu and Mike Williams are candidates for being cut possibly tomorrow.
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?

They need to protect their house, they need the Seahawks 12th man, they need Brandon Browner, Richard Sherman, Marshawn Lynch, Red Bryant and Tarvaris Jackson to have career defining games. They need BIGTIME effort. By the way, we also need some help. A San Diego win in Detroit.

Who the hell are these guys anyways? Paul McQuistan, Breno Giacomini, and Lemuel Jeanpierre?
Dave B. is back and better than ever with his Week 14 NFL fantasy football forecast for the St. Louis Rams vs. Seattle Seahawks MNF matchup. Marshawn Lynch gets a crack at a defense that gave up 228 yards to Beanie Wells and 253 yards to DeMarco Murray. Mike Williams is the X-factor again. Golden Tate is the biggest beneficiary of Sidney Rice being gone.
