481: Bye Week Breakdown - How the Seahawks Achieved 1st in the West

The Seattle Seahawks cruised to a 38-14 victory over the Washington Commanders in front of a national audience on Sunday night. The gruesome injury late in the game to Jayden Daniels soured the win and we hope Ernest Jones and Josh Jobe come out of the game ok for our Seahawks. Sam Darnold was on point for Seattle and Jaxon Smith-Njigba continued to dominate, supported by a well-balanced offense orchestrated by Klint Kubiak. The defense stifled Washington's offense and controlled the game from start to finish. Mike Macdonald made the right call on defense with Devon Witherspoon and Josh Jobe getting the start and Nick Emmanwori demonstrating why he should never be on the bench. Without Cooper Kupp on the field, Tory Horton hauled in a couple touchdowns to make his case for future WR2 on the team and Cody White jumped up from the practice squad to add a long touchdown of his own.

Join us as we gear up for the Seahawks Sunday Night Football matchup against the Washington Commanders! How will the loss of Julian Love to injured reserve impact on the Seahawks defense and how will Mike Macdonald manage the return of Devon Witherspoon? With the Commanders recent struggles, Washington will be desperate for a win against a Seahawks team that has dominated on the road. The Commanders offense gets Jayden Daniels back, but they may not have the downfield offense to be able to attack the Seahawks defense. With the trade deadline approaching, could that impact how Seattle handles the playtime for Tariq Woolen on Sunday? Cooper Kupp, if he plays, may be limited against the Commanders, but that could prove beneficial in going heavy with tight-end heavy formations and Robbie Ouzts returning.

We kick things off by celebrating the Seahawks position at the top of the NFC West after their bye week and 49ers loss to a Texans team Seattle just faced. How have the division standings shifted, what does it means for the playoff race, and are the Rams a threat or not? This week we're diving into the reasons why the Seahawks got to this point. Is this Seahawks offense sustainable with Jaxon Smith-Njigba's getting a majority of the targets? Or maybe there are areas of the game where he needs to be targeted more! What are the biggest problems on offense? We take a look at third down conversion rates, the running game's inconsistencies, and how the team can improve in late-game situations. On the defensive side, we highlight the unit's dominance, impressive stats against the run, and the collective effort that keeps the Seahawks competitive. Plus, has the defense come up with their own nickname? What exactly are these "MOB ties" that Coach Mike Macdonald is speaking about?

As the Seahawks head into their bye week with a 5-2 record, we're break down their win against the Houston Texans. We take a look at standout performances including Nick Emmanwori and his highlight play as well as the defensive prowess of Byron Murphy. Despite some offensive hiccups, they were also able to help ensure a victory heading into the break. Jaxon Smith-Njigba was penalized again for celebrating, but why did this one feel different than his sideline celebration last week? Mike Macdonald dialed up a double corner blitz that led to the Seahawks only interception in the game. We dive into that play and take a look at what helped make that play so effective.
