Seahawks 2016 Off-Season Part II

The 2016 off-season was pretty eventful for the Seattle Seahawks and the rest of the NFL. In the last article, I wrote about the slew of retirements that occurred around the league. Now I'll go more in-depth with how the Seahawks in particular went. Off-Season Free Agency/Trades: Trades: Seahawks traded SS Kam Chancellor to Carolina Panthers for HB Jonathan Stewart and a 3rd and 4th round pick. Left Team: HB Fred Jackson (Retired) SS Kam Chancellor (Trade) HB Marshawn Lynch (Waived; picked up by Panthers) QB Tavaris Jackson (Free Agent to Patriots) FB Derrick Coleman (Free Agent to Saints) FB Will Tukuafu (Free Agent to Browns) WR Jermaine Kearse (Free Agent to Ravens) WR Ricardo Lockette (Free Agent to Chargers) TE Cooper Helfet (Free Agent) C Lemuel Jean-Pierre (Free Agent to Falcons) DT Brandon Mebane (Free Agent to Steelers) LB Bruce Irvin (Free Agent to Steelers) LB Mike Morgan (Free Agent to Packers) CB Cary Williams (Free Agent to 49ers) CB/S Deshawn Shead (Free Agent to 49e...

Seahawks Franchise: 2015 Off-Season Part I

The off-season started off with a lot of surprise retirements. It's the end of an era. Just take a look at this list of retiring QBs, future hall of famers and icons of their position for the past decade and thensome: Carson Palmer, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Tony Romo, Peyton Manning, Michael Vick and not shown in the photo: Matt Hasselbeck, both McCowns and more. That's a lot of QB talent and a lot of vacant QB starting positions available around the league. Luckily for me, I have a young up and coming franchise QB in Russell Wilson, who'll be coming off a major elbow injury but should recover in time for the start of the season. But still - how will the Patriots look without their general for their championship runs? Will Brock Osweiler or someone else fill in that huge void left by Laser Rocket Arm? Are the Cardinals going to start over with Carson Palmer leaving as well as many other older veterans? And what are the Saints without Drew Brees? While we see a lot of older ve...

Seahawks 2015

My first story today is a story of the last game of the 2015 Seattle Seahawks. After an amazing start to the season, with a 9-3 record, Russell Wilson was scrambling out of the pocket in the 4th quarter of a large lead game and got tackled, broke his elbow, and went out for the season. That gave opportunity for TJack to shine. Unfortunately, he did not. The Seahawks, with TJack at the helm, lost their final 4 games and then hosted the Atlanta Falcons in the wild card round of the NFC playoffs. While TJack didn't have a bad game at all, he ended up tearing his abdomen half way through the third quarter, paving way for another NFL veteran, Luke McCown, to take the reigns. McCown fought valiantly, but the Seahawks defense gave up another touchdown in the 4th to fall behind 14 points. McCown and the Seahawks then went on a nice drive in the 4th and scored to bring the lead down to 7. After a great defensive stop with just under 2 minutes left, the Falcons punted only to have Tyler Lock...
