Hawks Cast Podcast

It's finally here, the first Virtual NFL Draft will be held Thursday. Rumors have been swirling around for weeks and final roster changes are being made. The Seahawks will have seven total picks going into the draft but we all know that John refuses to leave with at least 11 picks; the FO has averaged 9.7 picks per draft in the past 10 so far. Of those 97 players drafted, 10 players have 32 Pro-Bowl Appearances and 20 All-Pro Nominations and some will end up in the Hall of Fame.

Seattle finds themselves home for the playoffs after a road divisional game ends their run. A team that was projected to end up under .500 to finish 2019 found themselves in contention for the #1 seed and the NFC West but fell among the stars for the top Wild Card seed and won a road playoff game. Devastating injury after injury, Seattle found unlikely back-ups to aid them but it took its toll as Seattle 2nd tier depth wasn't enough. While the season is fresh in our minds, we look back at 2019 and look towards 2020. This is the Hawks Cast Podcast brought to you by the Hawks Cast Forum.

Topic #1 What was the biggest reason for the loss to Green Bay?

Topic #2 What changes need to be made for this team to get over the Divisional hump?

Topic #3 Seahawks Twitter What would you like to see in the next Seahawks Head Coach?

(if there's time) Topic #4 What's next for the 2020 Seattle Seahawks?

Predictions

The Seahawks ride the rookie wave behind DK Metcalf onto the Divisional Round to play the Green Bay Packers. Seattle finds some of its injuries healing and limited a Wentz-less to just 3 FGs and a duplicate score of 17-9 from Week 12. Questions surrounding Pete Carroll have subsided for a week but now face the challenge of going into Lambeau Field, a place where Wilson has never won a game. This is the Hawks Cast Podcast brought to you by the Hawks Cast Forum.

Topic #1 Did we see a great bend-dont-break defense or was the injury to Wentz the key difference?

Topic #2 Last year the running game was bottled up and the passing game wasn't used until it was too late - why was this year different?

Topic #3 Seahawks Twitter Pete Carrolls owns more than half of all of franchise playoff wins; why doesn't that adore him more to the fans?

Topic #4 Green Bay Packers Are you scared of the #2 Seed 13-3 Packers?

Predictions

The Seahawks had the NFC West within their grasp but after a 4th-down catch at the half-yard line, a delay of game, a non-PI call on 3rd down and a catch just inches short of the goalline left the Seahawks at the #5 seed while the Niners took the #1 seed. The Seahawks travel to the one team that is potentially more hurt by player injures; the Philadelphia Eagles. Early week injury reports already look pretty bad for both teams. This is the Hawks Cast Podcast brought to you by the Hawk Cast Forum.

Topic #1 How would you grade the 2019 Seahawks season?

Topic #2 Was the return of Beastmode everything you'd thought it would be?

Topic #3 Seahawks Twitter - What would the Trial of Pete Carroll look like?

Topic #4 Philadelphia Eagles Is this the best playoff match-up to make the Superbowl?

Predictions:

Final Score: Seahawks @ Eagles

MVP Game: Wilson vs. Wentz

1st Injury Absence: Seahawks or Eagles

Biggest Loss Potential: Missed Tackles or Lack of Pass Rush

Wild Card Winners: Bills @ Texans, Titans @ Patriots, Vikings @ Saints

The Seahawks have officially clinched a playoff spot and could theoretically have the #1, #2, #3, #5 or #6 playoff spot with two games left. This is the 2nd consecutive playoff for the Seahawks and the 8th playoff season for Pete Carroll. Russell Wilson and Bobby Wagner have been announced at Pro-Bowl NFC Starters and plenty of alternates. Seattle controls its playoff position if they can win their final two games. This year's team also set a franchise record for road wins and consecutive road wins. This is the Hawks Cast Podcast brought to you by the Hawks Cast Forum.

Seahawks return their house-of-horror as they have only won once in the last 4 trips down to the LA and lose the undefeated road crown too. The team did not look like its self the after rolling off five wins in a row. Win the 49'ers late win against the Saints, the Seahawks fell to the top Wild Card spot and lost the lead in the NFC West. The Seahawks look to rebound against the Carolina Panthers who will be without Former MVP Cam Newton and 2-time Coach of the Year Ron Rivera but will have RB MVP Candidate Christian McCaffrey to contend with.

Topic #2 Can players play at an MVP level by themselves or is Wilson's cast letting him down?

The Seahawks return from the BYE to travel east to face the Philadelphia Eagles but they've also been unceremoniously booted from Sunday Night because the Eagle suck.
