SEAHAWKS 2022/23 Seattle Seahawks Thread

Yes.

And Carroll already named Smith starter.

That team is going to be a DISASTER... unless they trade for Jordan Love.

Would he really be much help?

Would he really be much help?

Stuff I've read about him this offseason would indicate that, yes, he would.

But who really knows?

I saw some good from Lock didn't see much to be excited about from Geno but both overall I thought were bad.

Yeah. And what I find particularly entertaining is them actually thinking Lock was better than a drafted QB. I mean sometimes the unproven guy is more valuable because you aren't sure he sucks. Because we know Lock sucks.

As much as it pains me to admit, the Seahawks did really well with their 2022 draft class: Kenneth Walker III, Tariq Woolen, Charles Cross, Coby Bryant and Abraham Lucas.

Cross was a 1st round pick and Walker was a 2nd rounder, but the other three were picked in rounds 3-5. Early in the season but Tariq Woolen is looking like the DROY

Yeah.. that one kinda pisses me off. Woolen, that is.
Durant looks like a player.. and maybe the Rams were scared off another physical “prospect” because of Rochell. Damnit.

Yes I agree. They seem to have nailed it.

And Geno Smith is much much better than I thought. In the meantime, Wilson is looking terrible in Denver. The Rams always had Wilson’s number when we played them, I have no idea how Geno is going to play against the Rams.

 

[CGI_Ram]

Yeah, dammit. Got to give Pete Carroll credit.

“Everyone” laughed at the thought of the 71yr old Carroll rebuilding the post Wussell Seahawks.

 

[Merlin]

Seattle's an interesting team for sure.

Their defense was good last season as they were T-11th in points against and they drafted Mafe, Bryant, Woolen. Plus Petey getting rid of Wilson and wanting to play Petey-ball had me thinking they probably take a step forward and end up quite good on that side of the ball. But they have actually dipped on defense and are T-28th in points against.

Meanwhile their scoring offense was 16th in the league last year plus they got rid of Wilson and put their eggs in a basket of subpar QB options. They drafted OL too, which had to be a "fuck you" to Wilson. And they drafted a RB that nicely fit what Petey prefers, who has been a great pickup for them. So I expected Petey-ball with a lot of ground game mashing and field position focus. But they have the 5th best scoring offense this season. Lesson there is the reminder that weapons are really important in the pass game and they certainly had a loaded pass game in terms of weapons. And that's not to take away from the QB who is getting the job done for them so far.

I don't think they're good enough to stay on top of this division. Their last 8 games include the Bucs, Shitters, Rams x2, Chiefs, and Jets so I expect a big slide as the season goes on and the pressure ramps up on them.

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

Yeah, dammit. Got to give Pete Carroll credit.

“Everyone” laughed at the thought of the 71yr old Carroll rebuilding the post Wussell Seahawks.

I’d give credit to whomever made those draft picks. I wonder if Pete finally took a hands off approach and let Schneider do the picking or vice versa.

I would’ve been the house that the Rams wouldn’t be looking up at the Hags after 8 weeks. Another reason to be pissed off right now.

Seahawks want QB Geno Smith back for 2023, contract talks expected to take place after the season

Sources say the hope for the Seahawks organization is that Geno Smith is their QB into the future, as well, with contract talks expected to take place after the end of the season, per NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport.

Seahawks want QB Geno Smith back for 2023, contract talks expected to take place after the season​

The Seahawks want one of the feel-good stories of 2022 to continue into next year.

Geno Smith, the surprise starter who has elevated himself into the MVP conversation, takes his Seattle team to Germany today to face the Bucs. Sources say the hope for the organization is that Smith is their QB into the future, as well.

In fact, the Seahawks want both QBs back -- Smith and backup Drew Lock. They have yet to make an offer to Smith, who's set to be a free agent in 2023, to extend his contract, and those talks will happen after the season.

But it appears Smith has done enough to convince the team that his star turn is real and spectacular. Unbelievably, Smith is third in the NFL with a 107.2 passer rating, just ahead of ... Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow. For a player who hadn't started more than three games since 2014, it's remarkable. Considered a career backup until he beat out Lock in training camp ahead of this season, Smith is completing 73.1% of his passes and has already thrown for 2,199 yards.

Seattle has actually gotten better on offense since they traded Russell Wilson.

Smith's nonchalance about his play has been comical. He was asked on NFL Network if he could've seen his play and his team's play coming.

"Without sounding arrogant or cocky, yes," said Smith, who then went on to praise his team's work ethic and discuss how this all started in OTAs.

Lock and Smith get along in the QB room, creating a fun atmosphere in what could otherwise have been an awkward situation. The whole atmosphere in general is fun, and the viral video this week of Seattle's impromptu dance party at practice in Munich showed it.

Internally, everyone also knows this: One of coach Pete Carroll's best qualities is to instill confidence in players and have that lead to performance. That seems to have taken place here.

Much of the discussion for the Seahawks this offseason was about finding a QB. They traded for Lock to compete with Smith, but they never were in it for Jimmy Garoppolo or Baker Mayfield. They stood pat.

And now, thanks to Smith's stellar play, both he and Seattle are being rewarded for it.

 

[Turducken]

The Bucs are completely shutting down the Seahawks in Munich. It's a shutout at half and I'm not sure they will find a way to score at all.

 

[RamFanWA]

Sea Pigeons close to scoring, until Geno ripped the momentum away with a fumble.
Start of 4th Qtr - Bucs really controlling the clock -0 and a score inside 11 minutes - going to be 21-3 sson....

 

[Kupped]

Do the Seahawks play a lot of press coverage? Asking for a friend.
