374: The Seahawks and the NFL’s worst offseason (according to ESPN)

The Seahawks have been holding OTAs and mandatory minicamp over the past couple weeks and one notable player who is absent is wide receiver DK Metcalf. Is the team close to signing the former second round pick to a long-term deal? Would it be better to wait and pay DK to see if he has a subpar season? It may be that there is another good reason for the team to wait on before solidifying the deal (but not for too long).

ESPN's Bill Barnwell recently released his rankings of best to worst teams considering how they've approached the offseason. The Broncos got the top spot by trading for Russell Wilson and that same move landed on the bottom. But when you look at another team Barwell had in the top 5, are the Seahawks really that far off from being in a similar position soon?

In the second half of the show, we talk about a former Seahawks player who is retiring with a record that will stick in the record books. General Manager John Schneider was on a recently released podcast where he discussed a move that he'll never make again. How has that learning experience played out with some of the more recent moves? Finally, Colin Cowherd and a popular television show based in Montana both need to do better. Better at life honors go to a 4-year-old survivalist and a Seahawks equipment manager.

373: Seahawks in a coal mine (indicators for success/failure)

Organized team activities (OTAs) started for the Seahawks this past week. It's voluntary for the players to attend and participate, but there are some key takeaways that we pulled from the player interviews as well as the first injury announcement of a guy we hope to be a key player in the 2022 season. In the news, the Seahawks waived one rookie quarterback from the roster and there were several reports about the future of the franchise as the team will ultimately be sold “soon.”

With changes coming to the defensive side of the ball, Clint Hurtt was on Seattle radio to discuss some of the more notable changes from a strategic standpoint. How concerned are we about the state of the defense going into the season and its ability to impact the team's performance. We also get into the thought behind the various players who would be the “canary in a coal mine” when it comes to indicating the team's ultimate failure or success. We talk about players on each side of the ball that if they have a big season, it could mean good things for the overall success of the team.

In the second half of the show, Baker Mayfield continues to be discussed as a potential option for the Seahawks. But based off an announcement from this past week, there's a new big name being thrown around as an option for Seattle. In a recent interview, Marshawn Lynch disclosed how much Hennessey he went through after Super Bowl 49. Russell Wilson gets called out for an analysis of his past season and people who are Facebook angry at a recent player workout get called out to ‘Do Better.' Better at Life honors go to K.J. Wright and to an all-time great Celtics plumber and/or fire fighter.

Advantages and disadvantages in the Seahawks 2022 schedule, and introducing PNW Prop Stars

As has become an annual tradition, Dave Bloomquist (a.k.a. Hong Kong Hawk) joins the show as a long-time member of the Flock to break down the Seattle Seahawks schedule release. Where do the Seahawks have some advantages within the schedule and where are the disadvantages? Early on, Seattle faces a very heavy road schedule while the second half becomes somewhat more favorable for travel. Plus, a look at the Rams schedule and where they have an overlooked advantage before playing Seahawks.

The second half of the episode is an introduction to a new show coming in the fall with Clinton Bonner and Wilson Conn as they'll be talking some of the betting lines and prop bets surrounding the Seahawks. The experts may say never bet on your team, but maybe there are some cases where fans know their team better than some of the experts.

372: Seattle Seahawks 2022 Draft Recap

It was an atypical draft year for the Seattle Seahawks in many ways. First, they had a top 10 pick for the first time since 2010. Second, they didn't trade out of their first pick (partly because they didn't need to considering they had back-to-back picks in the second round). Third, they took players that we actually had discussed leading up to the draft in positions relative to where most people considered the players to be available.

Most important to their draft strategy is that they addressed the trenches with their first two picks. By doing so, should that have allowed them the luxury to address other areas with the picks that followed? We discuss running back Ken Walker and some of the reactions from around the league (including Pete Prisco). Russell Wilson even got in on some of the draft night excitement as we play his “call from the Broncos” as he “was selected.”

The 2022 NFL schedule releases this week, but the news about one of the Seahawks matchups has already been announced. Seattle will head to Germany to battle Tom Brady and the Bucs in what could be the goat's final NFL season. With the Falcons, Panthers and Steelers all drafting quarterbacks, Baker Mayfield's list of suitors continues to narrow as the Seahawks continue to show no interest. Finally, a story about a broken television and the NFL wanting Seahawks fans to break their televisions lands in the Do Better segment. Better at life honors go out to Montanans and to the best phone call from Seahawks draft weekend.

2022 NFL Draft Reaction with Rob Staton of Seahawks Draft Blog

Rob Staton of Seahawks Draft Blog is back on the show and offering up his thoughts on the 2022 Seahawks Draft Class. The players in the class include:

Round 1: Charles Cross, OT

Round 2: Boye Mafe, EDGE

Round 2: Ken Walker III, RB

Round 3: Abraham Lucas, OT

Round 4: Coby Bryant, CB

Round 5: Tariq Woolen, CB

We talk about each of the picks, the value of taking running back early in the second round, and how the Seahawks approach seemed to be different than in previous years. Did the Seahawks make a mistake by not taking a quarterback in this draft? Were there any other positions they missed out on? Rob closes by offering up a couple of names at QB to look for in next year's draft.
