Seahawks Round-Up: A Divisional Matchup, Pro Football Hall Of Fame Semifinalists And More

All the Seahawks news you might have missed this week.

2024-11-22-round-up

Good afternoon, 12s. Here's a look at what's going on out there and any news you might have missed, about your Seattle Seahawks this week.

Getting Ready For Cardinals

Seahawks senior reporter John Boyle breaks down five things to watch for the Seahawks matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday. Here are two of those storylines to watch.

Can the Seahawks get back to winning at home?

The Seahawks are off to a strong start on the road this season, winning three of four away from home, including last weekend's win in Santa Clara. The flip side of that, however, has been that the Seahawks have not been able to win consistently at home. After opening the season with home wins over Denver in Week 1, then over Miami in Week 3, the Seahawks have since lost four straight home games. And if the Seahawks are going to stay in contention down the stretch, they know they need to get back to being a dominant team at home like the Seahawks were for much of the previous decade.

"That's the most important thing," Macdonald said. "I think we're at the stretch now where we're going to have some really meaningful games at home. When I think about Seattle and I think about the fanbase, the 12s, and all the meaningful games that they've had and just how they've affected those games with the noise and all the energy they brought. So, these games are going to be so electric. I can't wait be in the stadium on Sunday. It's going to be so fun. We're looking forward to the fans being there and just going crazy. "

Added Smith, "To me, it's incredibly important. You start ranking things about what we're trying to achieve here, and that's at or near the top of the list. So, I know we're on a slide here at home, and we're trying to do a couple of things to make it come to life. We're treating this like a home playoff game for us. We need the 12s rocking, and you're right, that's the vision. That's what we're trying to create. Let's get it started this Sunday."

Can the defense continue to show progress while facing a dangerous Cardinals offense?

Prior to their bye week, the Seahawks appeared to have made some progress on defense, playing well against the Rams despite an overtime loss. Two weeks later, Seattle's defense showed that improvement wasn't a fluke, limiting the 49ers to 277 total yards and 17 points. And most notably last week, the Seahawks allowed just one play of 20 or more yards, a 22-yards reception.

"I just think when you limit explosives, it really comes to execution, like the ability to execute, the ability communicate and understand what they're trying to attack," Durde said. "Taking away the deeper throw, you're making a play, you're covering someone else. Those are the areas, like tackles, those things create explosives when you miss those things. Last week we didn't and we played clean and it helped us a lot. Especially because what happens is suddenly you put yourselves in good third down situations."

The Seahawks like the direction their defense has been heading in recent weeks, but they also know it won't be easy to maintain that level of play when facing a dangerous Cardinals offense led by quarterback Kyler Murray, who is playing the best football of his career.

Seahawks Legends Earl Thomas & Ricky Watters Named Semifinalists For Pro Football Hall of Fame

The Pro Football Hall of Fame announced their list of semifinalists who will move on to the next stage of the selection process. Seahawks Legends Earl Thomas and Ricky Watters are among the semifinalists. Thomas is one of six first-year eligible players named a semifinalist. Other Seahawks Legends who were among the final 50 that did not advance were running backs Marshawn Lynch and Shaun Alexander, safety Kam Chancellor and defensive tackle Kevin Williams.
