Hawks Cast Podcast

The Seahawks suffer their first defeat this season as they fall in OT to the Cardinals. The Seahawks had a 10-point lead going into the final minutes of the 4th quarter but the OFF couldn't convert a 3rd and short and the DEF couldn't stop a Murray-lead attack. Metcalf's play of the century will be lost to memory because the Seahawks failed to win. Now the Seahawks regroup as some key players return to practice and they face the defending NFC Champs the San Francisco 49er's. This is the Hawks Cast Podcast.

The Hawks Cast Podcast returns after the Bye Week to bask in the glory of a Sunday Night thriller as the Seahawks remain undefeated.

With the Bye under our belts, the team is getting healthier and making more additions to the roster and rumors of another WR potentially coming to town. This is the Hawks Cast Podcast.

The Seahawks offense continues to shine but the Seahawks defense almost gave up over 400 years of offense in back-to-back games. Jamal Adams still impresses but he seems to be providing the only pass rush.

Topic #2 Is this the MVP season that will finally etch Wilson's name as an all-time great?

Topic #3 Hawks Cast Corner - Has the NFC West become the cream of the crop?

The first NFL Virtual Draft is in the books and the Seahawks come away with 8 draft picks (one of the lowest totals in the Pete/John-era) and the Seahawks confused a lot of fans by drafting in the first round (instead of trading back) and selecting a middle-linebacker with the 27th pick overall.
