Hi guys: Big news! It sounds like the Seahawks are about to announce the signing of Connor Williams - one of the best centers in the NFL. Sounds like they will sign him to a multi year deal. If he’s physically ready to play right away, that would really shake up the starting five of the Seahawk’s offensive line. I assume they will put Williams as the starter at center, and then it’s question of whether Oluwatimi is able to play at guard, or whether he’s relegated to the bench. It also means that Nick Harris will be released. I would project the starting five of the offensive line to be Cross at left tackle, Tomlinson at left guard, Williams at center, either Bradford or Haynes or Curtis at right guard and Lucas at right tackle - if he’s off the PUP list and able to play, or George Fant at right tackle.

I think how the O line performs will have a huge say where the team finishes this season. I hope Scoff Huff can mould this unit so that we get at least some consistency which has been severely lacking unless you count inconsistency as consistence! The D line depth looks the best the Seahawks have had in years and we know Mike wants to build a run wall and this unit is more than capable of forming that wall, what a foundation to build your defense on.

With regard to the ESPN depth chart for the offensive line: Oluwatimi will start at center- unless the Seahawks are able to sign free agent Connor Williams. The smart money is betting that Christian Haynes will start as a rookie at right guard and the team has their fingers crossed that Anthony Lucas will be off the PUP list by then, but if not it will be George Fant at right tackle. They think highly of Michael Jerrell as having the talent to be a starting tackle in the NFL some day. But they don’t want to start two rookies on a patchwork offensive line and Jerrell will have to wait for his chance in another year.

Excellent podcast and intelligent discussion about the Seahawks from a couple of Brits. Well done. I enjoyed it very much. The Seahawks defensive line has the most talent and depth that it has had since 2014. Two years ago, Pete Carroll said that he needed to rebuild the front seven of his defense. Two years into the rebuild, the defensive front is now extremely capable and deep enough that they should be able to maintain constant pressure on the quarterback with a 7 man rotation of defensive tackles and ends and edge rushers. Unfortunately, Pete didn’t survive to see the fruits of his efforts on the front line and MacDonald has inherited one of the best young defensive lines in the NFC. However, although the the inside linebackers from 2022 have also been replaced now (e.g. Cody Barton and Jordyn Brooks and Bobby Wagner) I don’t know that Dodson and Baker (and the inexperienced rookie, Tyrice Knight) are going to be significantly better. MacDonald is supposed to be a linebacker guru so I hope he can work his magic on a unit that - on paper at least - appears to be the weakest position on the team. I look forward to hearing more from you guys over the course of what should be an interesting season.

Let’s go!

Thanks guys, great show again and will be interesting to see how they use Woolen. From watching Leslie's interview it seems that they have a plan, let's see how that works in this new defensive scheme. Not too long before the real stuff begins!

Aloha from tribal 12s Hawaii!!!

You would take someone who's turning 32over someone who just turned 27 absolutely nuts not a freaking chance

Love the cross-over action! Need to get Ryan in the mix next time. Your channel still has the absolute BEST intro of any Seahawk podcasts. GO HAWKS!

Really enjoy the crossover shows and the Seahawks community seem to really be a great bunch of contributors who are happy to appear on one another's shows, no egos which is great. I don't really understand why a section of the Hawk fanbase would like to move on from DK, it just makes no sense to me. He is a great athlete who has yet to be used in the right way or system. If Ryan Grubb's the OC who can tap into that potential we will see what a major asset DK is. I believe Grubb can be that OC, but it may take a season before he is able to fully tap into the potential. It will also be interesting to see how this coaching staff deal with any of DK's temperament issues if they surface. Personally I don't think this was something Pete dealt with particularly well with players in the recent past. The Adams saga around the response to a reporter's comments I think was a really good example of how not to do this and I do wonder if that was part of the reason why it appeared not all players were brought into Pete's philosophy and may have caused division in the locker room. As for Geno, yes he is not a top tier QB but he defiently has the tools to take a team to a Super Bowl. Again I look at the previous OC and did they get the best from Geno? I think we all agree they did not. So we will see what happens this year, I'm hoping for a more balanced scheme which at the same time does stretch the field and keep opponents off balance. It's been a very long time since I felt opponents were concerned about the Hawks offense despite the weapons we have. Let's see how Grubb uses those weapons and I think we may have to be patient as offense always takes longer to bed in and it is Grubbs first year in the NFL so a big step up. I do have confidence that he can step up, just think in may take a season.

Great to see y'all providing that sweet sweet Seahawks content. GO HAWKS!

I would put some 💰💰💰💰 on the Seahawks for over 7.5 wins this year.... Don't know if you can bet on American football 🏈 but I really like hawks too win at least 8 wins.... thanks for all your Seahawks videos!!!!!

Great to see your smiling faces on this vid! The German roster builder provided some tough decisions and was easy to use. Thanks for sharing! Leslie Frazier said that the defense should be built from front to back, and also name-dropped Riq a few times unprompted on a recent interview. Thanks again for in-depth analysis and GO HAWKS!

CB defo the deepest position on the roster currently. Hear you Josh on your pain and frustration regarding Woolens tackling, or lack of! As an ex rugby player it still frustrates me on the number of poor tackles in the NFL and the Seahawks were unfortunately very good at this last season. At least that won't be as bad this season.

Tried to find y'all on Discord, but am not skilled enough to do so. Love the discussion and lots of great info presented. Would like to see video of the two of you (especially if y'all are dancing to the ROCKIN' intro!!). GO HAWKS!!

You’re back!

Great show fellas... love the intro music 🎵....so bloody good 😊

I'm torn about Shane W. play calling. I don't know if he had his "plan," and then there was Pete's "plan." I was excited at the beginning then realized whoever plan that was being used was stagnant. So, with that said, I'm excited about the new regime!! LFG, Hawks! #Hawks4Life 💚💪🏾👊🏾💯💙

That intro is frikin 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 #Hawks4Life 💚💪🏾👊🏾💯💙

Thanks for holding it down for us across the pond, Go Hawks!!!

I got 9 out of 12 on the movie quiz. :)

Hello again Gents! Enjoyed the podcast. Agreed with your takes for the most part. It’s such a wide variance of possible outcomes as we have no idea what either the offense or defense are going to ultimately look like nor how fast they’ll get there. I’m more optimistic that coach Macdonald can get them in shape quickly and that the defense will be improved out of the gate and continue improving as the season progresses. I’ve landed on a 10-7 season and a Wildcard birth. And yea I got there before watching your podcast. Ha.

Hey there from South Carolina! Love the show, keep up the good work gents!

I feel for Mitch on the movies. The quotes are all so familiar, yet the movie titles aren't always easily recalled. Football stats are more useful and interesting to Seahawks fans! :) 10-7 seems like a reasonable record. Given the new schemes and the associated learning curves on both sides of the ball, anything close to a winning record will be satisfying. Keep up the good work and GO HAWKS!

Good show guys, love the optimism, if the Seahawks end up with that record it can't be anything but a successful start to the Macdonald era. I'm of the same mind set as in, don't care what the record is as long as the team does not get blown out and we can see improvement. We have to remember Macdonald has never been a head coach and most of the new coaching staff are also unproven, so we may have to be patient. Saying that I do believe this team is more than capable of winning 7 games dependant on injuries, how long it takes to implement the new schemes and how quickly the team can adapt to them. Unlike the last few years I'm super excited for the season to start and see what this team will look like, can't wait!

Do we have the most British fans?

I did not get even one, Clinton did way better than my attempts while playing along

Thanks for the show, great to see more UK Seahawkers! I've been following the Seahawks since 1987 and things were very different back then, we're talking pre-internet and trying to find information on the NFL was hard enough, let alone the Seahawks. I used to subscribe to a paper the Seahawks used to print called Inside the Seahawks which used to arrive the week after the following game and mainly consisted of the game report of the game two weeks previous. You were lucky to get 2 minutes of highlights on a weekly channel 4 show that used to air after midnight on a Thursday night. Now I can watch whole games live via streaming and have instant access to all the latest news. How times have changed 😊

Your knowledge of needs and explanation of draft strategy is much appreciated! The Slimgenix intro can be played throughout the podcast as a transition from discussion to mock drafts to just random LET'S GET FIRED UP moments. I'm curious about the love for Walk the Mock, though. The information given and some of the features appear superior, but the actual AI drafting model seems wildly unrealistic (Chicago not taking Williams, multiple top-tier tackles at 29, etc). Perhaps y'all could do a mock where you use the One GM To Rule Them All to make the options in rounds 1 and 2 more likely (?). Thanks for your content and GO HAWKS!!

I'm ready to run through a wall after hearing that intro! Well done! Caught you on the HawksZone and appreciate your view from "across the pond". Looking forward to future shows. GO HAWKS! Not sure why the video is just the logo, though. Would like to see your spreadsheet!

All these people talking about trading back well the Seahawks have done that for years except the last two years and we have not won a playoff game so trading down is trading down in talent that's the reason Pete is gone now because it has not been a success formula

Subscribed. Let’s collab on a video sometime.

Hello guys!!! Hawks Nation Brazil here 😎💙💚🇧🇷

I loved recording this and were so excited to record more and get more 12’s on with us
