Erring on the side of aggressiveness

The Seahawks are gaining a reputation as a physical team that will punch you in the mouth and fight you for every last yard. Brandon Browner, a no-name cornerback from the CFL, is steadily gaining a reputation as the epitome of that image.

Not all penalties are created equally

Three meaningful NFL statistics (and one meaningless)

Now that every team is at the halfway point of the 2011 NFL season (six teams have played nine games), a look at certain statistical categories is telling - some significant, and some meaningless in a good way - especially for the Seahawks.

Ripping off the Band-Aid

The last time the Seattle Seahawks traveled to Dallas to face the Cowboys (November 1, 2009), the Seahawks lost a game that wasn't as close as the score indicated (38-17).

Seahawks, referees need to get back to basics

A lot was made of Pete Carroll's ill-fated fourth-down decision on Sunday. But Seattle's inability to run the ball is a much bigger concern than clock mismanagement.

Don’t overreact to Whitehurst’s performance, either

That was just one game and he's just one player. I understand that he's the most important player but the rest of the Seahawks offense didn't do Whitehurst any favors on Sunday.

More insanity from the NFL, Part III

It wouldn't be right if I didn't take this opportunity to accuse Roger Goodell and the NFL league office of destroying the game that I love.

Go Back to Cleveland, Cleveland!

Could it be that the Hawks can finally stand toe-to-toe with a team on the road in the eastern time zone and slug it out for a win in the early 10 a.m. game?

Jim Harbaugh: Everything but the handshake

Love him or hate him, there's no denying that Jim Harbaugh is one heck of a coach and the rest of the NFL should be more concerned about his coaching ability than his lack of social grace.

Aaron Curry: Why would you do that?

To put it simply, Aaron Curry often did things on the field that made this old linebacker say, "Why would he do that?!"

Atonement for the much maligned

The Seattle Seahawks' trip to New York to face the Giants offered them some opportunities to not only pull out a scrappy win, but for a team and its parts to make some reparations headed into the bye week.

Browns RB Peyton Hillis and his ‘scratchy throat’

I know that I can come off as the grumpy old man that says things like "They don't make 'em like they used to", but maybe this story will turn you into a grumpy old man too.

The Importance of Film Study

By the time my nine-year NFL career was over, I had watched enough film to make me never want to see another football game as long as I lived. Now, I'd give anything to watch some real game film.

Kam Chancellor’s hit and Roger Goodell’s miss

We're quickly arriving at the point where it will be easier for the NFL to tell players what they can do rather than what they can't do.

Blaming Tarvaris Jackson for losses is amateurish

If you saw both Seahawks games this year and blame Tarvaris Jackson for the 0-2 start, you might be an amateur.

Don’t blame travel if Seahawks struggle in Pittsburgh

The Seattle Seahawks will definitely have their hands full with the Pittsburgh Steelers this weekend, but if they lose, I'm not buying the time zone excuse or the travel excuse.
