It's our annual tradition, and this year it comes with a twist — our Seattle Seahawks are defending a Super Bowl. We go position group by position group through the roster heading into 2026: an offensive line built on continuity, Sam Darnold's turnover profile, a receiving corps anchored by JSN and Rashid Shaheed, a tight end room we think could be special, and a defense we believe is the best in the league under Mike Macdonald. We land on our record predictions and make our case for a repeat. Then we get looser — a "sports hate" riff on Aaron Donald and the Rams, stories from a trip to France, community shoutouts, a great fan email, and a Do Better and Better at Life segment you won't want to miss.

We're one week away from our Seattle Seahawks kicking off their title defense against the New England Patriots, and Field Gulls managing editor Mookie Alexander joins us to break it down. We start with the Seahawks roster: the running back competition, a safety room banged up by injury, and continuity questions on offense under new OC Brian Fleury. There are also several changes to the Patriots roster: their retooled receiver room around A.J. Brown, some movement on their offensive line and veteran help at safety. Mookie responds to questions surrounding the Patriots and CB Christian Gonzalez's contract standoff, whether Drake Maye will be able to play outside the pocket in this matchup, and whether their depth on defense will matter. We close with player predictions and a look at whether Sam Darnold can finally cut down the turnovers that plagued him last season.

The final episode of Hard Knocks helped to close out the preseason just one week ahead of kickoff, and we're breaking down everything from the lead up to roster cuts and the emotional moments of making the roster. Montorie Foster's call to his parents after making the team is the heart of the episode, alongside Uso Seumalo's relief at sticking on the ready squad. We get a look behind the scenes at Nick Emmanwori's uncertain recovery timeline, and discuss the new short-shorts rivalry. Plus, our favorite moments (and critiques) from the season of Hard Knocks — the soundtrack, the cinematography, and why Coach Mike's leadership style has been the real star of the show.

The Seattle Seahawks' initial 53-man roster is set, and we went live to talk about the biggest surprises and areas where there is still some concern going into the season. The Seahawks kept a surprising number of offensive linemen. But in the past when we had a surprising lack of depth at guard, we are now to the point where guys seemingly beat the odds to make the team. The running back room may be a concern until Zach Charbonnet gets back, but that's mainly because we haven't seen much from the guys throughout the preseason (by design). A fan favorite from Hard Knocks made the initial 53, and John Schneider made a trade to help with cornerback depth. Other big news in the NFL today was the signing of Aaron Donald. But did anyone expect that he'd command $20 million? We compare the situation to the last time the Seahawks signed a future Hall of Famer who was seemingly content to stay retired. Plus a ton of great questions straight from the flock as we look ahead to a tailgate and the regular season opener against the Patriots.

The Seattle Seahawks are technically undefeated under transferring to new ownership this week. Seattle tied the Kansas City Chiefs 9-9 in the preseason finale, and concerns are running high that we may be on the verge of a special teams crisis. We get into another Jason Myers shaky preseason outing and how it stacks up against some real cautionary tales at the position, plus Michael Dickson's continued excellence at punter. Jalen Milroe's strong performance gave him something to build off of for the future. We work through roster bubble battles at cornerback, wide receiver, backup guard, and running back. Plus a bunch of great questions straight from the flock as we look ahead to the regular season opener against the Patriots.

We dig into the film with Derek Coleman, a.k.a. Coach DC, of All 22 Films to figure out who new offensive coordinator Brian Fleury is showing us so far as a play caller. We break down what's carrying over from Klint Kubiak's system and what's genuinely new, from pre-snap running back motion to the 12-personnel "Ace" formation to the shotgun run game. We get into how losing Jake Bobo and Robbie Ouzts reshapes the run game and tight end room, why Drew Lock is the trusted QB2, and a coach's-eye replay of both of Milroe's preseason interceptions.

Following Hard Knocks Episode 4, we react to Bud Clark's broken ankle and the warrior mentality he showed, Julian Love's case as the team's emotional anchor, and the rookie talent show where the winner was Derick Hall? We get into the roster bubble battles, Leonard Williams' leadership, and whether the Hard Knocks glow-up would figure into the consideration to cut a player. Will the Tory Horton injury factor into how many roster spots the Seahawks carry at wide receiver into the season? Plus, some great questions straight from the flock, including how we all became Seahawks fans.

Our Seattle Seahawks fell 19-16 to the Tennessee Titans in their second preseason game (and first one on the road), but the final score barely tells the story. We break down a first half where Seattle's second team outplayed the Titans first team, a strong showing up front on defense, and a receiver room who doesn't seem to have anyone stepping up to fill the void left by Jake Bobo's injury. We get into Jalen Milroe's rough second half and the two interceptions that came with it, questions surrounding the running back room in spite of the big run by Jacardia Wright, and a scary run of injuries.

What has Jalen Milroe learned after one season in the NFL? We went snap by snap through his preseason tape to find out. We break down his footwork and dropback mechanics, how he reads a Shanahan-style progression offense, and why the flashes of "Ferrari" playmaking ability keep showing up alongside real technique concerns. We get into Mookie Alexander's take on his development after his post-game appearance on the show this week, walk through the two-minute drill that turned into one of his best sequences of the tape, and close out with a full tally of the good, the bad, and everything in between. If you've heard the "is he cooked" conversation and want an actual answer instead of a hot take - this is the breakdown for you.

Hard Knocks episode three just dropped and we're live with our reaction. Join us as we break down JSN's route-tree and the episode's cinematic camera work, the underdogs still fighting for a roster spot, and what the "let it rip" mentality says about Jalen Milroe's development. We get into Devon Witherspoon's contract payday and how it paid off the storyline from the first episode. Plus, we got to see what that extension says about the front office's culture and about low-ego stars and quiet leadership in the locker room. The Terrion Arnold saga continues and we got to see the beginnings of what his path to the roster could look like. Finally, we discuss Mike Macdonald's "go win" mentality shift and get a bunch of great questions straight from the flock in our live chat.
