NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Clinton Bell tells us about his fearless predictions of why rookie QB Russell Wilson wil be the Seahawks QB of the Future. With recent big game experience, he has more composure than Matt Flynn or Tarvaris Jackson.

NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Matt Church tells us why Marshawn Lynch is the teams most irreplaceable player. Aka “BeastMode” scored in ten straight games in the 2012 season, Running for 1,204 yards and 12 TD’s last year. He always pushes to gain the extra yards and get the offense the first down. So much to love. Looking for Marshawn Lynch Seahawks YouTube videos? We’ve got your back.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Brett Bivens has a few things he has to see from Matt Flynn in 2012 before he projects him for greatness in the blue and green. In Flynn he wants to see a quarterback who is able to read a football field, a guy who can look at a defense before the snap and make pre-snap adjustments. After the snap he wants to see quick reads, and a quick release…
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Clinton Bell tells us about the 2012 NFL draft. What the Seahawks achieved. Who they picked. What UDFA’s they brought in. There’s a ton of new defensive help this season, and I assume a few of them will get some situational snaps each game. DE Bruce Irvin, and ILB Bobby Wagner are the two main draft picks expected to make an impact.
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. The defense is looking superb, and DC Gus Bradley says “We’re continuing to see great attitude.” Sidney Rice and Mike Williams, DB Walter Thurmond, and T James Carpenter are notable names that have yet to participate.
NWSB Insider Brandon Choate brings us a closer look at the Seattle Seahawks 2012 third round draft choice. The Seahawks selected Russell Wilson – QB – Wisconsin. This was a surprise pick to many, but is guaranteed to bring one hell of a competition for the starting QB role in Seattle. Despite the knocks on his height, Wilson has defied the odds and excelled at 2 different schools under 2 different styles of offense.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Matt Church tells us today about what is actually going on under the hood of the Seahawks draft machine. How the brains work on Pete Carroll, and John Schneider. We know they like speed over size. 2. They trust what they see. They aren’t sold on a quarterback for the 2012 season. Listen Up Matt Flynn and Tarvaris Jackson, Russell Wilson and Josh Portis.
NWSB Seattle Seahawks writer Insider Steve reports on the 2012 NFL draft selections by Seattle’s front office brass Pete Carroll and John Schneider. They drafted knowing that in order to beat the teams on their 2012 NFL schedule, they were going to have beef up their defense. The only way to do that is to play defense at a championship level, and Carroll and Schneider understand that better then anyone.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Brett Bivens tells us today the Seahawks have filled another need with the draft of Wisconsin Badgers Quarterback Russell Wilson. With the 75th overall selection. Instant reaction from Michael Lombardi from the NFL network was do the Seahawks have a place for him on the roster? With Matt Flynn and Tarvaris Jackson I guess we’ll find out in training camp or a trade?
NWSB insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Matt Church says say NO to drafting a quarterback in the first round Pete Carroll. Even though Texas A&M quarterback Ryan Tannehill the Most Valuable Player at the Car Care Bowl has looked good his draft status is inflated due to Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III. The Seahawks have other needs, more pass rush and linebacker help is required asap.
NWSB Insider and Seattle Seahawks blogger Matt Church weighs in on the upcoming 2012 Seahawks quarterback competition between incumbent Tarvaris Jackson, and newcomer Matt Flynn. Jackson has struggled consistently with his decision making skills. Flynn needs work in completely different areas. He lacks the velocity that is expected for most NFL starters (but so did Matt Hasselbeck!).
