Welcome to Seattle Chris Harper….Wide receiver Kansas State

Headline: Seahawks 4th round pick Yesterday Pete Carroll and John Schneider surprised everyone when they selected Texas A&M running back Christine Michael 62nd overall.  They made the selection after trading the 56th pick to Baltimore.  In that trade the Seahawks received the 62nd, 165th and 199th picks.

Pete Carroll: What goes around comes around

Seahawks fans will continue to stand behind Pete Carroll as in their minds, no way did he cost the Seahawks the game by icing the kicker and calling a time out. Looking back, it’s exactly what happened. Sure, the Seahawks defense allowed the Atlanta Falcons to get into field goal range with ease.

Pete Carroll is super sorry about the fake punt

Another week, another debate about the inherent rightness of a team running up the score on an opponent. It’s a tedious argument that will never go away because the two common reactions to the idea of running up the score are “THAT’S DISRESPECT!” and “WELL, IF YOU DON’T WANT ‘EM TO RUN UP THE SCORE, YOU GOTTA STOP ‘EM!” Both of which are right and both of which...

Pete Carroll lacks the killer instinct needed

As the saying goes, those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Against the Green Bay Packers on Monday night, the Seattle Seahawks must have felt like stars of the Twilight Zone. The Master of Suspense, Sir Alfred Hitchcock himself could not have crafted a suspenseful thriller such as the one that saw Aaron Rodgers and the Pack fall to rookie QB Russell Wilson...
