A little Q & A
It has been awhile since we’ve dipped into the mailbag to answer readers’ questions. It’s a new year – with a new coach (Pete Carroll), a new general manager (John Schneider) and a new outlook – so here goes. Q: Many of the questions center on the April NFL draft and who the Seahawks might [...]
A familiar Rings
The Winter Olympics in Vancouver/Whistler has a touch of Seahawks’ blue – to go with the Canadian red and white. Jesse Lumsden is the brakeman on the two-man bobsled piloted by veteran driver and multiple Olympic medal-winner Pierre Lueders. Don’t remember Lumsden? Don’t worry. The record-setting running back from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, was [...]
Happy un-Valentine’s Day
Seahawks tight end John Carlson has no big plans for Valentine’s Day, and that’s just fine with his wife. Really – even though Carlson and his wife, Danielle, have only been married for 18 months. “Valentine’s Day isn’t a big deal to us,” Carlson said. “We’ll probably go out to dinner or something. But we try [...]
Seven Seahawks going back to school
Patrick Kerney, John Carlson and five of their teammates are going back to school next week. Seven Seahawks – including the veteran defensive end and third-year tight end – are among 77 players who have enrolled in the NFL Business Management and Entrepreneurial Program at Harvard Business School and the Wharton School of the University [...]
Bates didn’t take the bait
The media reaction to Jeremy Bates’ comments about Walter Jones was interesting. The word “mum” was used in one headline, while another said the Seahawks’ new offensive coordinator “won’t discuss” the team’s in-limbo All-Pro left tackle. That wasn’t exactly the case Tuesday, when Bates met with reporters who cover the team for the first time [...]
Always a winner
Jeremy Bates, the Seahawks’ new offensive coordinator, is not married and does not have children. He does, however, have three dogs – a pair of Labradors and a weineramer. “Being a coach’s son I figured having dogs instead of kids was a good idea,” Bates said Tuesday during a Q&A sessions with reporters who cover [...]
A selection for the ages
Unlike political elections, being voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame is an eternal selection. That fact was not lost on John Randle, the former defensive tackle for the Seahawks and Minnesota Vikings who was chosen to the Class of 2010 on Saturday. “I’m excited, but not just for myself,” Randle said Monday. “As [...]
Mudd: Walter the best
Howard Mudd, who will coach the final game of his 35-year NFL career in Sunday’s Super Bowl, had two stints as the offensive line coach with the Seahawks. The first was on Jack Patera’s staff from 1978-82, the second on the staffs of Tom Flores and Dennis Erickson staff from 1993-97. Before, in between and [...]
High school to honor Curry
Aaron Curry is gone, but obviously not forgotten. The Seahawks’ linebacker will have his No. 3 jersey retired at E.E. Smith High School during a ceremony in Fayetteville, N.C., on Friday. “I am honored to have my jersey retired,” Curry said. “It serves as proof that hard work pays off. More importantly, this give me an opportunity to [...]
Xbox-ing
John Carlson will spend part of his Super Bowl Sunday helping Big Brothers Big Sisters of King County in a high-tech, entertaining kind of way. Carlson and his wife, Danielle, recently became involved with the organization, and Sunday the Seahawks’ tight end will be a celebrity guest during a live presentation of the “1 vs. [...]
