NorthWest Sports Blog brings you daily features on Oregon, Washington State, and BC amateur and pro sports teams.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks’ blogger Jordin Ereth talks about Seattle’s 2nd round draft pick Christine Michael. There are a few ways to react to this pick. One way is to question it like every other analyst seems to do whenever Pete and John make a selection in the early rounds. Or, you could go with the seemingly more popular “I have faith in the front office, considering their track record in previous drafts.” Jordin, however, tries to get inside the genius of Pete and John.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks Blogger Erin Acacio breaks down the Seahawks 2013 NFC West schedule. With three prime time games, one against each NFC West foe, the Seahawks have a chance to really make a name for themselves in the rest of the country. The Hawks often get overlooked by an east coast biased national sports media market. The extra “love” this year will finally give them a chance to be seen, and heard nationally.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Jordin Ereth gives you his analysis of Seattle’s draft picks that ended up impressing instead of disappointing Seattle fans. Mel claimed that Bruce Irvin was more of a late-second round value, Bobby Wagner could have been taken a round later, and he questioned the Russell Wilson pick, considering the Seahawks recently brought in Matt Flynn to likely be the starter.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Brett Bivens analyzes the five reasons he thinks the Seahawks got bounced early from the playoffs. Pete had some questionable calls during the game, but the biggest offender was not kicking the field goal on 4th and 1 at the 11. That would have at least put the Hawks on the board before halftime. Another one was Marshawn Lynch fumbling the ball. Nothing kills momentum more than a fumble. And that was Lynch’s second in two weeks.
NWSB Insider and Seahawks’ Blogger Ben Tole talks about what to back to back fifty plus point offensive performances have done for the 2012 Seahawks psyche. Jim Harbaugh will have his work cut out for him this week preparing for Marshawn Lynch, Russell Wilson, Golden Tate and the offense. As will Pete Carroll who has to prepare for a similar quarterback in Colin Kapernick .
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Brett Bivens breaks down the week 12 matchup between the Seattle Seahawks vs. Miami Dolphins in his Seahawks Monday morning quarterback. Once again rookie quarterback Russell Wilson had a very good game. Despite starting out shaky, Wilson would have, at least, tied the Seahawks record for consecutive completions in a game (Warren Moon: 17). Cmon Doug Baldwin. Make that catch!
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Alistair Corp breaks down the play of the game from the matchup with the New York Jets. Golden Tate has done just about everything for this years Seahawks team except kick a FG. This past marvel was a TD pass on a bootleg screen to a wide open Sidney Rice. The play helped the Seahawks beat the New York Jets.
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 Jordin Ereth brings us up to speed on the storylines he’s watching Sunday when the Hawks travel to Detroit, to take on Matt Stafford and the Lions. With Richard Sherman already taking smack, it’s up to the offense to back him up. Time for Russell Wilson to prove he can win on the road.
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 Brandon Choate brings us his week 7 Love ‘em & Hate ‘em from the Thursday Night game between the Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers. The Seahawks had plenty of chances to win this game, but blew each opportunity. Russell Wilson made beautiful throws, but his receivers kept dropping them while Brandon Mebane, Alan Branch, and Bobby Wagner allowed Frank Gore to own the middle of their defense.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Clinton Bell weighs in with his top 5 impressions of the Seattle Seahawks 1st quarter of the season. Of course defense is the top impression on this list, and why wouldn’t it be? The rush defense has been incredible so far, giving up and average of under 70 ypg. The Seahawks could be sitting at 4-0, and none of this Russell Wilson vs. Matt Flynn talk would have been brought up by anyone.
