Seahawks Forever w/ Dan Viens

The Seahawks made a move in free agency this past week, signing running back Carlos Hyde. Hyde rushed for more than 1,000 yard for the first time in his career last season with the Houston Texans. Danny Kelly, former editor of Field Gulls now with the Ringer, joins the show to talk about what the move means for the Seahawks. Russell Wilson has talked about wanting to go more up tempo and Danny says offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer appears to be open to the idea. Will Pete Carroll make another shift? 

The decision to use more base defense this past season has been a bit topic lately and we discuss the main reasons for Pete Carroll going against what a majority of the NFL did this past season. We also talk about the recent reports of Wilson's interest of Antonio Brown joining the Seahawks.

The Seahawks have enjoyed more success in the last 10 seasons than over any point in franchise history, but long-time fans endured many years of being the underdog to get to this point. Brett Davern of the Bleav in Seahawks podcast remembers the times in the early 90s in the Kingdome when the team wasn't as good, but fans were still rowdy. We kick off this week's show by recapping the situation with Quinton Dunbar and how it continues to evolve. How does Russell Wilson overcoming his underdog status early on in his career compare to some of the Seahawks players from the previous era? We also talk about why, of all the players currently on the roster, K.J. Wright is often overlooked as a major reason for the success of the Seahawks defense. Lastly, we talk about two Seahawks players who are currently eligible for the Hall of Fame and deserve to be in conversation for a gold jacket.

Leading up to Thursday, the craziest news of the week was that Russell Wilson and the Browns were apparently linked in trade talks so underwhelming that they weren't even reported two years ago. Seahawks fans went from days of hearing about old trade rumors to finding out one of the team's newest acquisitions has a warrant out for his arrest. Quinton Dunbar may not see the field in 2020 after being charged with four counts of armed robbery with a firearm.

Primarily, the show looks back to Greg Olsen's introductory press conference with the media. Olsen offered his approach to joining a new team, in particular a team that added a couple young tight ends in the draft and how he says it's not in his nature to back down. Olsen also reacted to a stunt by Head Coach Pete Carroll where the Seahawks coach brought in Will Ferrell to pose as the 13-year NFL veteran in one of the team's first virtual meetings. Will this be Olsen's final year in the NFL? He says he doesn't see himself making a decision until the conclusion of the 2020 season.

The Seahawks track record of moving up in the second round has worked out well in previous seasons. They traded up in the second round for both D.K. Metcalf and Jarran Reed and now they can add Darrell Taylor to that list. Kevin Garber from the Seahawks Nest Podcast joins the show to talk about what the Seahawks would have liked from Taylor's game, but also how a person really has to look at the Tennessee pass rusher's games from both 2018 and 2019 to get a full picture of the potential he has. With Damien Lewis, Seattle moved in the opposite direction and added a Day 3 pick. But with Lewis, they saw a player who could come in and immediately compete for a starting position as evidenced by the release of D.J. Fluker this week. Kevin breaks down what he saw from Lewis, especially going up against NFL caliber talent at Alabama and Auburn, and offers his pick for which player he expects to be most likely to earn a second contract with the Seahawks.

The Seattle Seahawks General Manager John Schneider and Head Coach Pete Carroll conferenced with the media following the second day of the NFL Draft to talk about the selections of pass rusher Darrell Taylor and offensive lineman Damien Lewis. They both talk about the impression the player made on them throughout the process leading up to the draft and the strengths fo the two players. Schneider says that if Taylor hadn't been playing through injury in 2019, he would have gone in the first round. Carroll says he expects Lewis to come in and compete for playing time right away. Just says after the pick, the Seahawks released veteran right guard D.J. Fluker, which may show even more the type of confidence they have in Lewis to make the transition to the NFL.
