TEAMS: Seattle Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers
The Pete Carroll-Jim Harbaugh rivalry has thankfully continued into the NFL.
Carroll had criticism over Harbaugh's recent complaints that the Seahawks' defensive backs were getting away with too-physical play down the field, implying that it contradicted Harbaugh's accusation that Giants' offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride was trying to influence officials prior to the 49ers-Giants game. Carroll fired back at his long-time rival during his weekly segment on "Brock and Salk."
"Wasn't it just a couple weeks ago when they were talking about not
doing things like that? The Giants, Kevin Gilbride, or something like
that?" Carroll said. "I thought there was something about that where we

Harbaugh said on Friday that he was planning on contacting the NFL over the official rules about how much contact a defensive back can have down the field. The Seahawks secondar...

The Seattle Seahawks probably have the biggest cornerbacks tandem in the league. They are led by Richard Sherman, who is 6-3 and 195 pounds. On the other side of the field is Brandon Browner, who is listed at 6-4 and 221 pounds.

Seahawks being Physical
Those of us that have been watching the Seahawks play the last year have figured out that our defense is physical and stout. Pete Carroll has brought in big playmakers that fly to the ball. The smallest guy on the defense is one of the biggest playmakers, and is by no means small.
Brandon Browner(6’4″ 221 lbs) and Richard Sherman(6’3″ 195 lbs) are the two corners on...

*My two cents* The Seahawks need to trade for Dwayne Bowe
Pull The Trigger!
Headline: The solution is a QB change; the compromise is the Chiefs WR making Seattle’s offense better.
The Seattle Seahawks need to do something for their defense, a defense that is the best in the NFL and could win a Super Bowl if given the opportunity.
Since no one in management or on the coaching staff is willing to change their minds (a stubborn bunch),...

Seahawks: Missed it by ‘THAT’ much!
Seahawks, out of town, just like me.
The Seahawks played the 49ers at Candlestick Park in San Francisco last Thursday (October 18th) in a game that could have vaulted Seattle into first place in the NFC West. I was in Los Angeles visiting a friend. I told him I write a blog for the Seahawks and have to watch the game. Due to his busy work/travel schedule, my friend doesn’t often...
A Tale of Two Halves
Last Thursday’s road game against the 49ers was supremely frustrating to watch. The Seahawks looked awful, and that’s led to a lot of fans voicing opinions of the “fire coach X and/or bench player Y” variety. That’s understandable, but I think it’s premature to be calling for changes that drastic. Right now, the Seahawks are 3-0 at home and 1-3 on the road, with...
