Sunday afternoon NFL fans get the rookie match up they’ve been looking for: Russell Wilson leads the Seattle Seahawks into Washington to face Robert Griffin III and the Redskins. 2012 NFL Draft pick No. 75 versus pick No. 2. The first playoff clash for perhaps the greatest rookie quarterback class ever.
But no team gets to the playoffs without help. Family, friends and support staff are all essential, but I believe the Seahawks got assistance from some non-standard sources.
For making the 2012 Seahawks what they are right now, I’d like to thank:
The Miami Dolphins for slapping the Seahawks awake after they arrived in Miami jet-lagged and drowsy off a bye week.… Read more

The auditorium is usually reserved for coach Pete Carroll during the season and the occasional first-round draft pick being introduced in the spring.
After months of standing behind a small circular table and in front of a makeshift cereal box-shaped backdrop, Seattle rookie quarterback Russell Wilson got the auditorium on Thursday, with the big podium, the microphone stands and...

8-0 at home, undefeated since November 25th, scoring a combined 170 points in the last four games, Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks are flying higher than they have in years. Maybe it’s due to their aggressive yet smart defense led by Earl Thomas, maybe it is the roaring 12th Man for which they perform, maybe it’s their rookie quarterback that is “too short” to be...

Happy New Year 12′s!
So, you woke up yesterday morning a little worse for the wear after overindulging in the New Year’s celebrations with too much Red Hook ESB drained from your giant novelty Seahawks tumbler glass, while drunkenly bragging of once seeing Russell Wilson hanging out at Red Mill burger on North 67th.
That’s OK.

Russell Wilson or Robert Griffin III: Rookie Rundown
Via Football Nation

January 03, 2013
In April 2012, the Washington Redskins took a risk and traded up to draft Robert Griffin III of Baylor as the second overall pick in the NFL Draft. The Redskins brought in Griffin to be the savior. He was the future of a franchise that was completely void of a consistent quarterback. Expectations were high and the stakes were higher. This was a boom or bust draft pick for everyone...

Seattle Seahawks have too much MEAT for Redskins

In the NFC Division Wildcard, you must account for the Seattle Seahawks’ MEAT.
I know it’s not the flashiest thing to talk about. I will concede that it’s easier to talk about Robert Griffin III and Russell Wilson (because we all know flashy quarterbacks win playoff games1). Hell, ESPN has virtually made it a quarterback combine competition. At this point I’m surprised that...

The NFL awards season is nearing, and the debate for who deserves what is heating up. Of particular note this season in the three-legged race (OK, six-legged) that developed for the 2012 Rookie of the Year.
However, while an individual accolade might be nice at the end of the season, a trio of rookie quarterbacks remain in the hunt for something much bigger.
