261: Seahawks trade for Jadeveon Clowney to kick off the season and no 2019 draft pick gets cut

The 2019 NFL season has officially arrived and the Seahawks started with a huge move and building up what looked like one of their biggest weaknesses in the preseason. Jadeveon Clowney is now a member of the Seahawks and eventually Adam will learn how to pronounce his name. Brandan and Adam take a look at the surprises of the 53-man man roster and give credit to the Seahawks general manager John Schneider for making some significant moves to start the season, but also landing all of his 2019 draft picks. Not a single one was cut, although two head to the PUP list to start the season.

259: Seahawks show improved o-line play in loss to Vikings, problems with secondary and injuries

The Seattle Seahawks lost 25-19 against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 2 of the preseason game on Sunday. Despite coming out on the losing end, Adam talks about how he views it as a win when considering how fans got to see Russell Wilson with time behind his offensive line. Even Ethan Pocic, the least experienced of the offensive lineman, showed improvement over last season. While Wilson played only a limited number of series before handing the ball to Paxton Lynch, the vanilla style of preseason play was far less tasty with the former first round pick at the helm.

Poona Ford was a bright spot on the defensive line. Chris Carson looked like his dominant self and contrasted to the hesitation seen as Rashaad Penny had trouble getting going behind the second team offensive line. Hopefully, we see what Penny can do behind the starters when the Seahawks play the Chargers on Saturday. The Seahawks corners were not dominant versus one of the top receiving tandems in the league, but it did give Coach Carroll a chance to learn what to consider when throwing a challenge flag on a non-call of offensive pass interference. The guys talk through the new ability to challenge calls through the lens of a past non-call by officials.

For those looking to join our annual pickem league, and haven't already, you can go to seahawkerspodcast.com/pickem, use the League ID of 18882 and entry code of shp12. Hopefully someone has a contact with Yahoo, because the issue of having to combine groups now could end up being a challenge.

To close out the show we find out that the Rams now have a possible acronym for their top corners. Instead of LOB, they can be the POMCB. Kirk Cousins' complaints about his center's sweaty backside have been voiced and Adam suggests possible testing of SAW at the combine to help avoid this issue in the future. Tune in to learn about all these new acronyms. Better at life honors go to the developers of a new solar powered aircraft and to a long-time member of the Flock for his latest email and a very helpful chapter in the book he shared with Adam and Brandan.

258: Cutting down the Vikings and other NFC opponents, revisiting the six phases of football

The Seahawks face off against the Vikings on Saturday and are coming off their annual preseason win over the Broncos (though they didn't play them last year until the regular season). We discuss some of the things that stood out from the Broncos game and how that performance by Paxton Lynch didn't excited Adam at all about the potential for solidifying the backup spot behind Russell Wilson.

Talking about the Vikings gets Adam to the point of cutting down just about every other NFC team that he can think of who might be considered contenders. Brandan talks about the Zeke Elliott contract situation and how this could be a preview of what to expect for a running back like Chris Carson who could be forced into a similar situation because running backs have to try and get paid before they start to approach 30 years old.

Thanks to Kofi for posting a great video that is best to be watched and not listened to, because he adds to the production value, check it out on YouTube here:

Sea Hawkers Podcast, Top 5 Adam Emmert Rants

We talk about where we've been over the past week, how to get into the pick'em league this year, and after welcoming some new members of the flock we talk about what to expect from the show this season with Adam's increased in-season workload. Russell Wilson gets a do better nod for his latest hairstyle in a recent video as Adam goes after the hotel he's in for not having a functioning elevator. Adam gives some positive recognition to one of the first places he worked in his current profession and Brandan honors Russell Wilson to close out the show for his latest investment into the Seattle sports scene.

257: 2019 Season Expectations

Officially kicking off the 2019 season of the podcast with our annual “season expectations” show. Adam and Brandan talk about where they have questions and concerns and what to expect from the team this year in terms of play calling on offense and, even with some big departures, why the defense will continue to be in the top half of the league for points allowed.

One thing that is much different from past seasons is that there are more concerns on defense than the offense, particularly because the offensive line seems to be solidified and relatively unchanged from the previous year. Fans can also expect the coordinator to have a better feel for the offense, something it took Brian Schottenheimer time to get a feel for last season.

On defense, Adam says that although the defensive line has some of the bigger questions with injuries and suspensions, he's more concerned about the defensive backs. Brandan is concerned about where the turnovers are going to come from this season, because that was one of the biggest reasons for the team's success on that side of the ball last year.

In the second half (final third?) of the show the guys have a solution for the continued complaint surrounding the microphones at the preseason press conferences. We also talk about the status of Michael Kendricks going into the season. Do better nods go to “the Skynet of bars” and to Mina Kimes for going to the dark side of the force for at least the preseason. Better at life honors go to a North Koreans soldier who Shawshank-ed his way to South Korea and to Bobby Wagner for his new deal keeping him in Seattle through 2022.
