Seahawks plan to carve niche for Winslow

With the acquisition of Kellen Winslow from Tampa Bay, add the Seattle Seahawks to the increasing menu of offenses that will expand its use of two-tight end sets in 2012. No, the Seahawks probably won't become the Pacific Northwest version of the Rob Gronkowski/Aaron Hernandez New England Patriots, but coach Pete Carroll and offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell definitely...

Matt Flynn, Tarvaris Jackson, Russell Wilson splitting reps evenly for Seahawks in OTAs

Staying true to his word that there would be an open competition for starting quarterback, Pete Carroll is giving Matt Flynn, Tarvaris Jackson, and Russell Wilson equal reps in OTAs. Jackson is the incumbent and a mediocre starter for a 7-9 team with a 23rd ranked offense last year. Matt Flynn was a big money offseason acquisition as Aaron Rodgers’ former backup. He’s played...

Why Kellen Winslow will Soar in a Seahawks Uniform

Never one to shy away from adding new talent, especially if it costs him little to do so, Pete Carroll made another roster splash by basically stealing former Pro Bowl tight end Kellen Winslow Jr. away from the Buccaneers for a measly 7th round draft pick. Considering that Winslow has averaged 73 receptions a year the last three seasons for the Buccaneers, this looks on paper...

Seahawks decline “Hard Knocks” invitation

Getty Images The Seattle Seahawks have stated that they were approached about being featured in HBO’s Hard Knocks, but they’ve decided to decline the invite. It seems like every team that gets approached about “Hard Knocks” ends up declining and I can’t say I blame them. After watching the Jets a couple of years ago, I think it’s turned teams...

Kellen Winslow’s days as a starter are probably over with the Seattle Seahawks.

SEATTLE- Kellen Winslow Jr. may be the latest Seahawks roster addition and he may have the right last name, but his career path is turning out to be nothing like his father’s. After being traded away from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for a mere conditional 7th round draft pick, the temperamental TE is not guaranteed to play a starting role.

Seahawks Barbre suspended four games

Seahawks offensive lineman Allen Barbre was suspended the first four games of the 2012 season, Howard Balzer of the The Sports Xchange has learned. Barbre, 28, plays guard and tackle. He's not guaranteed a roster spot and his suspension complicates his chances of making the 53-man roster out of camp. The Seahawks pursued multiple offensive linemen in the offseason and also...

Seahawks GM compares Russell Wilson to Drew Brees

Getty Images The Seattle Seahawks clearly love rookie quarterback Russell Wilson after drafting him in the third round of this year’s draft. It seems like general manager John Schneider loves him so much that he compares him to Saints quarterback Drew Brees. “He is the closest player I’ve done to Drew Brees and Jeff Garcia in terms of sliding, finding lanes and...

Seahawks’ Tarvaris Jackson absent from voluntary conditioning sessions

Seahawks quarterback Tarvaris Jackson skipped voluntary conditioning sessions this week. The conditioning sessions are, as their name says, voluntary and players do frequently skip them to train on their own. However, this is newsworthy because Jackson is in a tight competition to not only retain his starting job, but to stay on the roster. The Seahawks brought two quarterbacks in...

Plenty of confidence in the Seattle Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks proved last year its defense is solid, allowing 19.7 points per game and just over 320 yards per game, good for seventh and ninth best, respectively, in the NFL.  The offense hampered the team, however, and the Hawks placed 28th in yards per game and 22nd in passing yards per game.  Aside from Marshawn Lynch,

Confidence in the Seattle Seahawks

Recent history has shown successful NFL teams have two things in common: a quarterback that refuses to turn the ball over and a defense that forces turnovers. The past Super Bowl champion quarterbacks have featured Eli Manning, Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger, Drew Brees and Peyton Manning, all future Hall of Famers. The Baltimore Ravens, Houston Texans and New York...

Is Matt Flynn the guaranteed starter in Seattle?

The Seattle Seahawks may finally have an answer for their QB problem in Matt Flynn, but is he good enough to be handed the starting job? As everyone in Seattle knows, Head Coach Pete Carroll is all about competing for starting jobs, even at the QB position. Some might say that when you pay Matt
