Seahawks Forever w/ Dan Viens

Despite taking a 12-point lead into the final four minutes of the game, the Seattle Seahawks found themselves in a defensive standoff at the goal line in the final seconds of the game. After rushing for two touchdowns in Week 1, Cam Newton added two more on the ground against the Seahawks. With one yard to go, the Seahawks defense was able to make a stop when it mattered most. Field Gulls managing editor Mookie Alexander and former managing editor John Morgan join the podcast to talk about Seattle's first game at CenturyLink Field this season. Russell Wilson threw for five touchdowns in the game. It was something he hadn't done since 2015. Yet, overall, it was a more balanced offensive approach compared to last week's game against Atlanta.

If there is one area on defense to be concerned with over another, is there a bigger issue with the secondary or the defensive line? Seattle has now given up more than 800 yards through the air, and next week they'll face Dak Prescott coming off a 450-yard passing performance. There was one bright spot for the defensive line in this game. We discuss that, and a lot more, in this week's post-game recap.

The Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots both won their Week 1 matchups, but they did it in very different ways. Russell Wilson attacked the Falcons defense through the air while the Patriots did most of their damage through the run game. Cam Newton may not have to change his approach this weekend against Seattle, and many Seattle fans will be tuning in to see if Pete Carroll reverts to a run heavy approach considering the strength of the Patriots defense. Mark Schofield of the Scho Show, part of Pats Pulpit on SB Nation, joins the show to preview the Sunday Night Football game coached by two of the NFL's best over the last decade.

While a lot of people throw around the term, "Let Russ Cook." How many people can actually define it well? Listening to Wednesday's episode of the Palpably Unfair Podcast (or PUPcast), part of the SB Nation NFL Show, the discussion around Wilson focused on the number of times he dropped back to pass. Wilson's 39 dropbacks against the Falcons was on par with his career average over the last four seasons. It's not really a good metric of measurement for what Seahawks fans have been talking about. 

To help narrow down exactly what to look for, John Fraley has a new weekly column at Field Gulls that grades the Seahawks in four specific areas. Pass/run ratio in neutral situations, handing the ball off when it's 2nd an 9+, allowing Russell Wilson to make plays on the ground, and decision making on 4th and short.

Russell Wilson had his best Week 1 performance of his career, Jamal Adams made us all understand why Pete Carroll on John Schneider thought he was worth two first round picks, and Metcalf's touchdown on 4th and 5 was one of the game's top highlights. But 3 IN, 3 OUT is about getting beyond the top level highlights and going a bit deeper. Clinton Bonner talks about how Metcalf made up for a big drop even before his touchdown. Sure Damien Lewis had too many penalties, but how about hit hustle and hit on Carson's second touchdown? This show goes so deep that we talk about the mixture of joy and concern when it came to multiple plays involving the Falcons third-string running back. Tune in and hear all of the details!

The Seattle Seahawks get an opening day win on the road for the first time since 2013, and taking down the Atlanta Falcons 38-25. You have to go back to 2014 to find the last time Seattle won an opener by double digits. At home or away, the Seahawks have struggled in their first game of the season. The wins against the Bengals in 2019 and Dolphins in 2016 by 1 and 2 points respectively. To break down the victory for Seattle, Stacy Rost from 710 ESPN in Seattle joins the show as we discuss a huge game from Russell Wilson. He had a little something for everyone in this game, by starting out with three straight passes, topping 4,000 career rushing yards, and gave us one of his signature moments leading up to the Seahawks fifth touchdown of the day.

This show begins with a look at the injury report for the Seattle Seahawks and Atlanta Falcons as the teams go into their final day of practice ahead of Sunday's matchup. As the Houston Texans and Kansas City Chiefs were kicking off the 2020 NFL Season, Brandan Schulze joined Anthony Nachreiner on the Nach on Sports to preview the Seahawks Week 1 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Issues on both the offensive and defensive lines are a concern, but the strengths of the Seahawks outweigh a lot of those issues in terms of the weapons Russell Wilson has offensively and the improvements on defense for Seattle as a whole. Brandan and Anthony close the show by running through their Week 1 picks.

On Sunday, we learned that Jadeveon Clowney would be signing with the Tennessee Titans. Gregg Bell, Seahawks beat writer for the Tacoma News Tribune, says Clowney's move wasn't just about the money. Ethan Pocic was announced as the starting center this week. What does it mean for B.J. Finney and why has Justin Britt visited twice without signing a deal to come back to the team? 

Quinton Dunbar may not be in the clear after all, considering new evidence in his case showed up in the news. Bell says Dunbar appeared to have won the starting job and he expects, if all goes well, that he'll be on the field opposite Shaquille Griffin against the Falcons. Plus, we talk about Pete's plan to get players worked into the rotation and how teams will adjust to get to know some of their players without the preseason.

The Atlanta Falcons added a new face in the offseason that Seahawks fans are familiar with. Will the addition of Todd Gurly mean a shift away from the pass heavy philosophy we've seen from the Falcons is previous seasons? David "DW" Walker of the Falcoholic joins the show and says that with Dirk Koetter as the offensive coordinator it means that not much will change in terms of the team's approach on offense. On defense for the Falcons, they'll be starting a rookie a cornerback. Without preseason to get a sense of how they'll perform, that could be a spot to expect Russell Wilson to test early on in the game.
