12 as One: The Story Behind the Seattle Seahawks 2025 Super Bowl Run

Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic joins us to talk about his new book, “12 As One: Mike Macdonald, the Seattle Seahawks, and the Making of a Super Bowl Champion.” Mike talks about how writing a book gave him a different kind of avenue to report some behind the scenes information compared to daily beat coverage. He explains how the “12 As One” mantra runs through the whole roster, and the throughline of selflessness he found from Ernest Jones’s story to the other vets who helped carry the message. We talk about Macdonald’s approach worked in Seattle when a similar first-time-coach jump didn’t for Jerod Mayo in New England, and the “high-powered” standard Julian Love set for the defense.

505: Seattle Seahawks 2026 Season Expectations

It’s our annual tradition, and this year it comes with a twist — our Seattle Seahawks are defending a Super Bowl. We go position group by position group through the roster heading into 2026: an offensive line built on continuity, Sam Darnold’s turnover profile, a receiving corps anchored by JSN and Rashid Shaheed, a tight end room we think could be special, and a defense we believe is the best in the league under Mike Macdonald. We land on our record predictions and make our case for a repeat. Then we get looser — a “sports hate” riff on Aaron Donald and the Rams, stories from a trip to France, community shoutouts, a great fan email, and a Do Better and Better at Life segment you won’t want to miss.

Countdown to Kickoff: One More Week Until Seahawks vs Patriots

We’re one week away from our Seattle Seahawks kicking off their title defense against the New England Patriots, and Field Gulls managing editor Mookie Alexander joins us to break it down. We start with the Seahawks roster: the running back competition, a safety room banged up by injury, and continuity questions on offense under new OC Brian Fleury. There are also several changes to the Patriots roster: their retooled receiver room around A.J. Brown, some movement on their offensive line and veteran help at safety. Mookie responds to questions surrounding the Patriots and CB Christian Gonzalez’s contract standoff, whether Drake Maye will be able to play outside the pocket in this matchup, and whether their depth on defense will matter. We close with player predictions and a look at whether Sam Darnold can finally cut down the turnovers that plagued him last season.

Seahawks Roster Cuts Behind the Scenes: Hard Knocks Finale

The final episode of Hard Knocks helped to close out the preseason just one week ahead of kickoff, and we’re breaking down everything from the lead up to roster cuts and the emotional moments of making the roster. Montorie Foster’s call to his parents after making the team is the heart of the episode, alongside Uso Seumalo’s relief at sticking on the ready squad. We get a look behind the scenes at Nick Emmanwori’s uncertain recovery timeline, and discuss the new short-shorts rivalry. Plus, our favorite moments (and critiques) from the season of Hard Knocks — the soundtrack, the cinematography, and why Coach Mike’s leadership style has been the real star of the show.

Seahawks Roster Down to 53: Who Made the Cut?

The Seattle Seahawks’ initial 53-man roster is set, and we went live to talk about the biggest surprises and areas where there is still some concern going into the season. The Seahawks kept a surprising number of offensive linemen. But in the past when we had a surprising lack of depth at guard, we are now to the point where guys seemingly beat the odds to make the team. The running back room may be a concern until Zach Charbonnet gets back, but that’s mainly because we haven’t seen much from the guys throughout the preseason (by design). A fan favorite from Hard Knocks made the initial 53, and John Schneider made a trade to help with cornerback depth. Other big news in the NFL today was the signing of Aaron Donald. But did anyone expect that he’d command $20 million? We compare the situation to the last time the Seahawks signed a future Hall of Famer who was seemingly content to stay retired. Plus a ton of great questions straight from the flock as we look ahead to a tailgate and the regular season opener against the Patriots.
