Mike Macdonald's first game as an NFL head coach earned him a win, but there's a lot more to assess today outside what happened between the white lines of the Seattle Seahawks 26-20 win over the Denver Broncos. What did yesterday's game, and how he spoke about it afterwards, tell us about the culture and mentality he's trying to build? Thoughts on the day after, and what we're learning about the approach of our new head coach.

After what felt like the longest offseason in years, the Seattle Seahawks are set to launch the first Mike Macdonald-led season Sunday at Lumen Field in Seattle against the Denver Broncos. Much has changed in two short years since the last time these two teams faced off, with the Seahawks winning the 2022 opener 17-16 in what was the first game with Russell Wilson quarterbacking the Broncos after a stunning offseason trade. Wilson has moved on, and now Bo Nix is in place as the presumptive franchise QB for Sean Payton after being selected in the first round out of Oregon in April. Is Nix ready for what Macdonald and his vaunted defensive scheme has in store? Or is the Payton-Nix combo going to be formidable right out of the gate? Amir Farrell of Predominantly Orange and the Broncos Avenue podcast joins me for this in-depth preview of what the Seahawks are set to face in this Broncos team.

Take a quick look at any salary cap website and you'll see that the Seattle Seahawks project to be significantly OVER the cap in 2025, but does that signal trouble for John Schneider and his front office staff? Not necessarily, according to today's guest. Curtis Allen is a guest contributor to the Seahawks Draft Blog where he puts his math and accounting background to good use, combined with his lifelong passion as a Seahawks fan. Listen to this episode, and you just might feel a lot better about the Seahawks financial future, which could very well translate to success on the field as well.

Griffin Sturgeon is one of the best film analysts in the NFL universe along with his Seattle Overload Podcast co-host Matty Brown. This draft cycle, Griffin was particularly hard on the Seahawks selection of ILB Tyrice Knight in the 4th round of the NFL draft. But.... how's he feeling about the pick now? Has a solid preseason helped change his evaluation of Knight? And how does he feel about the entire collection of talent at the position, including a new practice squad addition who just happened to be Griffin's FAVORITE LB prospect in the draft? While we focus on ILB's today, I'll also get Griffin's insight into some other aspects of the overall initial Seattle Seahawks 53-man roster as well.

While the Seattle Seahawks set their initial 53-man roster on Tuesday, there still may be some heavy-lifting yet to be done at a couple of key spots. Long-time beat reporter Gregg Bell of the Tacoma News Tribune and KJR sports radio joins me from the VMAC today to share his insight into where the Hawks may still need to add before the bullets start flying for real against the Denver Broncos week 1.

The Seahawks set their initial 53-man roster on Tuesday and it came with a number of surprises. Now the task of filling out the practice squad takes center stage.

Now that the Seattle Seahawks know they'll be without star OLB Uchenna Nwosu for a matter of weeks, they can adjust their roster accordingly before the official cutdown to 53 players by Tuesday's deadline. They took one step towards protecting themselves today by acquiring OLB Trevis Gipson from Jacksonville. What's still unknown is whether Nwosu will need to be placed on IR, which would require him to miss at least 4 games. I'll react to this news, as well as a couple new lists from ESPN and the Athletic. Where do the Seahawks players rank on ESPN's Top 100 players list and Mike Sando's QB tiers? I'll get into it.

The Seattle Seahawks put together an all-around performance in beating the Cleveland Browns 37-33 Saturday night at Lumen Field in Seattle. It wasn't always pretty, but for a team ready to usher in a new era behind first-time head coach Mike Macdonald, you didn't have to look hard to find enough positives to take away from this game. Now, as the final cutdown to the 53-man roster limit looms over the next 24-48 hours, the team faces some tough depth chart decisions. Who stood out tonight and helped their chances of making the cut? How ready is this team to face the Denver Broncos in two weeks to open the 2024 NFL season?

With only one ILB on the roster currently signed beyond the 2024 season, the Seahawks moved to add another potential long-term answer at that position today - acquiring former Michigan Wolverine Michael Barrett from the Carolina Panthers. Barrett was a productive player for the national champions, and the winningest player in UM history before being selected in the 7th round by the Panthers in April. Now, he'll be trying to get up to speed and fit into the a revamped Hawks LB group. The Panthers receive veteran CB Michael Jackson in the deal. How does this impact Seattle's roster? Stay tuned, because in this episode I'll also unveil my latest 53-man roster projection.

One day after acquiring Michael Barrett from the Carolina Panthers, the Seattle Seahawks made another roster decision on defense this morning, sending OLB Darrell Taylor to the Chicago Bears for a 2025 6th round pick. A 2nd round draft pick in 2020, Taylor registered 21.5 sacks during his career but continued struggles against the run pushed him down the Seahawks depth chart. How does this impact the roster as a whole, the salary cap, and the OLB position group? Tune in to find out!

Michael Thompson of 12th Man Rising joins me today with an aggressive idea to acquire pass-rusher Haason Reddick from the NY Jets. Reddick is currently holding out for a new deal after being traded from Philadelphia to the Big Apple earlier this offseason. With just one year left on his deal, Reddick is looking for a big payday - so, how could the Seahawks figure into this? What would it cost to acquire Reddick in trade, could they fit a new deal for him into their current payroll, and do they even need another EDGE player in a group that's already chock full of young talent and established players such as Uchenna Nwosu and Dre'Mont Jones? Well, Michael certainly thinks it's possible, logical AND feasible. Tune in to find out how the Hawks could potentially make it work!

The Seattle Seahawks hired Mike Macdonald to replace legendary head coach Pete Carroll this offseason in large part to fix the defense. On a sunny day at Lumen Field today, the Hawks defense showed a dominant side in mostly holding Seattle's offense at bay in their formal mock scrimmage. Several young players stood out on both sides of the ball, and I was there to witness it. In this livestream, I share my immediate thoughts on what I saw, and what it all might mean.

It won't exactly be played like a real game when the Seattle Seahawks convene at Lumen Field on Saturday, but it'll be the closest thing we've seen so far, and may begin to give us some clues as to how the roster and depth chart are going to look when the bullets start flying for real a month from now.

It was just last year that the Seattle Seahawks drafted center Olu Oluwatimi in the 5th round after a decorated senior season at Michigan. After starting two games his rookie campaign in place of Evan Brown, he's been the first-team center all throughout OTA's and the presumed starter heading into the season. But the Seahawks interest in Connor Williams and the sneaky signing of another interesting UDFA rookie may indicate the team's desire to replace Olu with a different athletic profile. I'll discuss. Also, the Hawks got some outstanding news on the injury front and are hoping for more as Mike Macdonald gets set to address the media after today's opening training camp session.

Shawn Syed of Sumer Sports took the deep dive of all analytical deep dives in trying to get a feel for how the NFL's new kickoff rule will look as they unveil it for the first time this season. To do that, he went back to the genesis of the rule, the XFL, and charted every single kickoff play from their 2023 season. What trends did he find? How did teams scheme up the return game, and how did they choose to cover it? How does the rule the NFL is instituting differ from what the XFL did? How might it impact roster construction, and the game itself? Listen in to find out!

With Seattle Seahawks rookies finally hitting the practice field today for the start of Mike Macdonald's first training camp as head coach, I asked Ty Dane Gonzalez to momentarily take off his Mariners hat and talk some Hawks ball! Ty used to write for All Seahawks (SI) and produces the Seattle Overload podcast for Matty Brown and Griffin Sturgeon, and we've talked plenty of Seahawks over the years. It was great to have him back on and I'm sure you'll enjoy our wide-ranging conversation covering everything from rookies to watch (including UDFA's), the new coaching staff's approach fresh approach, "Hard Knocks" type access and whether we'll ever see that in Seattle, how the NFC West is shaping up and much more. Stick around for some BONUS content at the end where I ask Ty to assess the Mariners chances of potentially going big-fish hunting at the trade deadline as they attempt to hold onto their lead in the AL West.

According to a new statistical measure developed by Seahawks beat reporter Corbin Smith, Geno Smith gives you the best value of any NFL starting QB. Corbin joins me to today to talk about how he built this new metric, and what it means about Geno's performance and potentially his future in Seattle moving forward.

I've yet to put a number on how many games I think this new-look Seattle Seahawks team can, and will, win in 2024...... until now. Today I move beyond the general concepts that have driven my short-term outlook for the Hawks and finally put a number on it. In the process, I'll try and quantify the three categories I think most fans and analysts fall into when trying to measure this team's ceiling. Where do YOU fall on the spectrum of optimism?

In this one I attempt to explore all the reasons some fans of the Seattle Seahawks believe DK Metcalf's value lies more in a potential trade piece than as one of their foundational players. Why do so many fans have a hard time wrapping their arms around the Seahawks star wide receiver? Or.... should they be thinking more in terms of whether the team should actually EXTEND him beyond the end of his current contract in 2025? I present both sides of the debate here. YOU be the judge.

Jeff Simmons of the Real Hawk Talk podcast joins me to dive into the Seattle Seahawks 2025 roster. As new head coach Mike Macdonald attempts to mold a championship contender in the pacific northwest, are the pieces in place to build a super bowl foundation? We'll look at which positions are locked in for next season and beyond, and determine which others may need to be addressed in the draft or free agency.... as well as how the salary cap shapes up, and how John Schneider and his front office can create more salary flexibility if needed.

While optimism seems to be high among fans that the Seattle Seahawks will return to their contending ways with an improved roster and new head coach Mike Macdonald in the fold, the national media is painting a different picture. Many of them (if not most) are projecting Seattle to finish not only out of the playoff race, but in some cases last in the NFC West (yes, BEHIND the Cardinals!) Why is this? I've identified a number of reasons that may help explain their reluctance to get on the Seahawks hype train just yet.

Now that the Seattle Seahawks have officially wrapped up their offseason program, they'll get their longest break of the year before reconvening for training camp in late July. New head coach Mike Macdonald and his staff were so pleased with the performance at mandatory minicamp last week that they excused the team a day early to begin their summer break in earnest.

John Schneider is in his 15th season as general manager of the Seattle Seahawks, and this year he added VP of Football Operations to his title after the departure of legendary head coach Pete Carroll. Schneider has had some good strategic offseasons, some admittedly bad ones, but also many GREAT ones. Where does this offseason - his first without Carroll by his side - fit on his resume? While it is certainly too soon to tell, we can get an idea of where it MIGHT slot in by RANKING HIS BEST-EVER OFFSEASONS!

The Geno Smith debate has raged for two years now, and will continue on.... at least until we see how he fits and performs in Ryan Grubb's newly-installed Seahawks offense. Statistics are plentiful, and no matter where you stand on Geno's skill-level and value you can find numbers to support you argument. Which leads me to this question - where does Smith fit in the echelon on current NFL QB's? In this episode I try to quantify that not by number, but by attempting to determine a trade value. In essence - which other NFL QB's would you deal Smith for straight up if you had the chance? Play along with me, and let me know what YOU would do! Forever and Always.....Go Hawks!

When Bryce Coutts isn't recording episodes as co-host of the Hawks Zone Rundown podcast, he's coaching quarterbacks. After years of playing and coaching the QB position, he opened his own quarterback academy 3 years ago, where he gets to help tutor prospective signal-callers from the age of 10 all the way into their college years. So today, we're going to break down all the aspects of playing the position and how it relates to teaching, coaching, and development. Then we'll apply those concepts to the NFL, and take a deep dive into Seahawks history to try and construct the perfect quarterback from the team's history.

Sanjit T runs The Football Scout YouTube channel (as well as some college scouting). And while his outstanding film breakdowns cover every position from all around the entire NFL, he has produced several videos lauding the talents of some young SEAHAWK players over the past two seasons.

Is there now reason for optimism that the Hawks are putting the pieces of a great O-line in place? Sanjit will go through the depth chart in detail with me and share his thoughts on each prospect.

So what does he think of what the Rams have done this offseason?

Looks like Dre'Mont Jones is prepping for a more permanent role as an OLB/EDGE player! According to his trainer, and with video proof to back it up, Jones is focusing on pass rush moves and coverage drops as he ramps up his workouts to get ready for training camp. What does this mean for the roster? How well will Jones fit this role? How does it compare to what Macdonald did with Jadeveon Clowney last year in Baltimore? And, what if it doesn't work? 2024 will be a crucial year for Jones, as the team would be able to move on before the final year of his deal in 2025 if it doesn't pan out.

What if I told you the Seattle Seahawks had a chance to select the best defensive tackle in the entire draft at pick 16? Would you have stayed there and picked, or still wanted to trade down to accumulate more selections? Well, John Schneider chose to do the former, adding Murphy to Mike Macdonald's defensive front. What does the 21 year old have to offer? And what might the rest of the draft look like for the Hawks? Listen in to find out - including a fresh mock draft simulating what the next two days may end up looking like when all is said and done at the draft in Detroit.

The budget has gotten tight for GM John Schneider and the Seattle Seahawks. With less than $2 million in available salary cap space this year, and not much more than that looking ahead to 2025 either, some major decisions will need to be made in the coming days and months. In fact, they'll need to adjust some contracts or jettison a few players just to sign any players taken in this weekend's NFL draft! Should fans be concerned? Who better to break it all down than Curtis Allen, who does such a fantastic job analyzing this (among other things) for Rob Staton's Seahawks Draft Blog. Curtis will update us on the Seahawks payroll situation, and provide some answers as to just how they can manage it all this year and next.

Former Field Gulls contributor Patton Richard has been putting together Seahawks draft boards for years. The self-proclaimed "draft nerd" has finalized this year's board, and the result is a tiered list of potential Seahawk targets broken out by position and levels. It's a great way to see just where the different pockets of value to try and understand why Seattle may be focusing on certain position groups at specific spots in the draft. I'll take you through his board, ask about his process, and get some of his specific takes on why a few players at each position just scream "Seahawk!"

As many mocks as I do, I don't think I've been able to nail one in quite this manner, and what intrigued me the most was when he went in a direction with Seattle's first pick that I NEVER take.

With the buzz around the potential of a Michael Penix-to-Seattle scenario refusing to diminish, today we attempt to show you how a Seahawks draft might look with or without a selection of the UW signal-caller in the first round. Michael Thompson writes about the Seahawks, and most predominantly the draft, for 12th Man Rising. Michael will take the pro-Penix approach, while I try and go a different direction. But wait, that's not all! We finish up with a live draft simulation where we team up and alternate picks, exploring the possibility of trading down to accumulate an extra pick or two.

Emory Hunt publishes the Football Gameplan Draft Guide and provides draft coverage for CBS Sports. He scours the country looking for talent, and I find that he's much more objective and open-minded than other draft analysts.... much more willing to include lesser-known FCS players in his rankings. As a result, his lists look quite a bit different than many of the other mainstream publications you may have seen. We'll talk about that, while also digging into the Seahawks roster and getting Emory's thoughts on potential fits - both in the first round and later on - at their positions of greatest needs. I also ask Emory to provide a few sleeper names that others seem to be overlooking, as well as a couple guys he thinks are being OVER rated.

How does he feel about the linebacker group in Seattle, and who might they be targeting at that position in the draft.

The Seahawks missed the playoffs in 2023, ushering in a new era as legendary head coach Pete Carroll was replaced by young first-timer Mike Macdonald. There's a lot of work to be done as the team entered free agency with fewer players under contract than any team in the NFL. But as we assess things now just one week after the start of free agency, is it possible Seattle's overall roster is actually better than the one that finished the season in Arizona? I'll make the argument that yes, it is, and with the draft still ahead it has a chance to get even more talented. Join me on a position-by-position tour of the roster as I make my case.

College football scout and owner of The Football Scout channel on YouTube, Sanjit T joins the show today to weigh in on the state of the Seattle Seahawks offensive line. Now that the most pressing needs have been addressed through free agency on defense and at tight end, the offensive line remains as a perceived weakness among fans and analysts, particularly on the interior. Is there cause for concern about the lack of experience at center and guard? With very little salary cap space remaining, are there still moves the Hawks can make to address it, or will it have to be a priority in next month's NFL draft? Sanjit shares his thoughts on a couple young players he sees as potential long-term starters that the team already has on the roster, plus an under-the-radar name to consider - and we take a look ahead at some possible fits at guard in the draft.

The Seahawks acquired a talented young QB today and yet some fans believe the sky is falling! I'll tell you what I think of the Sam Howell trade. Did the Seahawks give up too much? Could he potentially be a long-term answer? Are the interceptions a red flag or does his upside overshadow the mistakes many young quarterbacks before him have made (including some hall of famers)? Also, who's Tyrel Dodson and how does he figure into the Seahawks plans at LB? After this weeks moves, where does the roster stand? What are the remaining pressing needs?

The Seattle Seahawks and general manager John Schneider succeeded in re-signing DT Leonard Williams and TE Noah Fant, but lost some of their other free agents and saw a few potential targets sign with other teams as well. How much salary cap space is left after paying Fant and Williams, what might some of their other priorities be over the next few days, and what in the world are they going to do about inside linebacker?

Christian Caple has been living in the pacific northwest and covering the University of Washington football team for years, so who better to speak to the potential fit of Husky prospects with the Seattle Seahawks in this year's upcoming NFL draft? And this is no ordinary UW draft class....a record 13 of them participated in the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis last week, and there's a good chance the entire baker's dozen will be drafted, breaking the school record set in 1998 when 10 Huskies were selected. There are some obvious potential connections with Ryan Grubb and Scott Huff joining the Seahawk coaching staff after two seasons on Montlake - will Michael Penix be a potential target for John Schneider as he looks to solidify the QB position for the long-term? - but are there some other logical fits among the group as well? And what are the qualities that Ryan Grubb posesses that lead Caple to believe he'll suceed at the NFL level? Let's discuss......

Where does the team's salary cap stand after these moves, and what might general manage John Schneider do with the available funds?

So much speculation about the Seahawks apparent interest in some of the top QB prospects in this year's draft (they met with Drake Maye and Jayden Daniels at the combine), guys who they would no doubt have to move UP in the draft to acquire. But... can they afford it?

Another day of QB-related news takes center stage with the Seahawks, with Geno Smith reportedly being told by team brass that he will be in Seattle this coming season. But wait.... that's not all!

Draft geeks unite!!! It's time for the NFL Scouting Combine!!!! On today's show I'll share my thoughts on which position groups I'll be watching the closest, including one that's of a particular need for the Seahawks - and some of the specific players to keep an eye on who may be a fit. And I'll weigh in one John Schneider's comments yesterday about the QB position, and why I think it may shine a spotlight on one particular day 2 prospect. Finally, a quick salary cap update - how the Seahawks can quickly gain enough cap space to resign some of their key free agents without doing anything too extreme.

So much QB talk surrounding the Seattle Seahawks! Should they keep riding with Geno Smith or turn to Drew Lock? Or should they go all out to move up and grab one of the top prospects at the position in this years NFL Draft? Or...... should they wait until 2025?! "But Dan, that's CRAZY!!! Next year's class doesn't look that great!" Is that so? In this episode I'll break down every NFL team to determine which ones are hunting QB's this year, and then show you all the available options at the position (there's an unusually high number of them!) Then, we'll look at which teams may still be looking for answers at the position in 2025 and match that up with next year's potential draft class. You may be surprised what you see and hear.

Dayna O'Gorman is BACK! My former Field Gulls co-host, who you've also seen and heard on Our Turf and Real Hawk Talk, joins me today to catch up for the first time since right before Pete Carroll was fired (literally RIGHT before!) I'll get her thoughts on what's happened since then, how she views this young coaching staff, what (kind of) scares her about it, and so much more.... Geno, yay or nay? Should we expect a different M.O. from John Schneider now without Pete around? How far away are the Seahawks from being able to compete with the Chiefs and other elite teams?

Now that we know who's going to be coordinating the offense for the Seattle Seahawks, we can start to speculate what it might look like on the field. And who better to do that than NFL analyst, writer, podcaster, and defensive coordinator of the London Olympians Matty Brown!? Matty shares his unique insight on what he's seeing from Ryan Grubb's offenses on tape, and how that might translate to Geno Smith (or someone else?), DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, JSN, etc....... And of course I HAD to ask him about the Seahawks newest defensive coordinator, and fellow countryman Aden Durde, who Matty shares a very distinct connection with. Listen in!!

It's draft season, and if you know you know that means MOCK draft season! For the first time since the Seattle Seahawks hired Mike Macdonald as their new head coach, I attempted a full 7-round mock draft using the Pro Football Network draft simulator. And for this one, I did it LIVE as I was recording. Can't wait to hear what you think! Some highlights: NO QB's A big trade back to add more Day 2 picks Tons of help in the front 7 Another young mauler added to the interior offensive line A fun new toy on offense And more!!!

Now that most of the coaching staff is set, and a decision has been made (for now) on Geno Smith's roster status, it's time to start getting on with the rest of the offseason. With the NFL Combine, free agency and the draft on the horizon, there are matters of roster building to be addressed. Who better to join the show to discuss these things than Mookie Alexander, who runs the outstanding Seahawks website Field Gulls. Mookie shares his thoughts on the coaching staff Mike Macdonald is putting together, which direction he wants the Hawks to go in the upcoming draft, and tries to tackle the question of just why so many fans are against the idea of Smith remaining the team's starting QB... and so much more!

It was a big news day at the VMAC as news broke that Geno Smith's status on the Seahawks roster wouldn't be changing, just as the team was getting ready to introduce their new coordinators. Once the press conference started, it was new offensive coordinator who stood out as the days highlight. Discussing his offensive philosophy, how the whole thing went down with Alabama, and his excitement to work with the Seahawks skill position players, it was evident that Grubb has been planning for this move for a long time.
