New: Sam Darnold is right to hold himself accountable for the parts of the failed final play that were in his control It’s also correct that he shouldn’t have needed a *6th* straight TD drive to win a home game. On another “unacceptable” loss at Lumen. www.nytimes.com/athletic/669...

New story: A new era of Seahawks defense is in full swing and Ernest Jones IV is right where he belongs. In the front, leading the franchise through the fire. “I owe Seattle everything, and this is home for me. I want it to be my home the rest of my career.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/668...

New story: The Seahawks have one of the NFL’s best defenses, and a potential logjam in the defensive back room that needs to be sorted out. Teams are reportedly eyeing Riq Woolen. If competition is everything, might we see a shakeup in the secondary? www.nytimes.com/athletic/667...

New story: Mike Macdonald said if the Seahawks can't hang their hat on wide zone, they'll be in trouble. They're not necessarily in trouble yet but that's really the only major flaw in what has otherwise been a great start for the 3-1 Seahawks. www.nytimes.com/athletic/667...

New: Sam Darnold is playing “out of his mind,” JSN is producing like a star and the Seahawks have now won 3 straight thanks in large part to the chemistry between WR1 and QB1. www.nytimes.com/athletic/666...

New story: On Seahawks QB Sam Darnold, who thru 3 games is completing 70% of his passes and averaging 9 yards per attempt. Seattle signed the $100 Million man to be aggressive, accurate, on time and decisive. Sam has been all that, and a little more. www.nytimes.com/athletic/665...

New story: The Seahawks had one of those “we are who we think we are” type of games on Sunday. This 31-point win at home is the product of Mike Macdonald’s process working, and his vision — the one John Schneider prayed for — coming to life. www.nytimes.com/athletic/665...

New story: Who is RB1 in Seattle? Ken Walker? Zach Charbonnet? If you’re having a hard time figuring it out, that’s because the Seahawks want you to. Even tho K9 gets the starts, this is intended to be a 1a and 1b situation. “I see two starters.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/664...

New story: The Seahawks love Josh Jobe’s story as much as his production. He’s playing like a star right now & he’s also an example of what Mike Macdonald wants this culture to represent. “Everything he’s doing right now, it’s all earned. And we’ve seen it.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/663...

New story: If Byron Murphy II is going to play like this, the Seahawks will have a 3-headed monster in the middle to bring back the “real man football” energy J Reed said they’d deliver. On Murphy & the trio that’s driving the Seahawks’ defense: www.nytimes.com/athletic/663...

New story: In the 4Q today, the Steelers played "Renegade" to get their defense hype. Instead it fired up the Seahawks, who wanted hijack the moment & put the game away. They did both. "That's OUR song." www.nytimes.com/athletic/662...

New story: The Seahawks could be thin at DB against the Steelers in Week 2. Devon Witherspoon (knee) and Julian Love (groin) didn't practice today -- Spoon was a DNP on Wednesday as well -- and Nick Emmanwori has a high-ankle sprain. www.nytimes.com/athletic/662...

New story: The Seahawks defense will face DK Metcalf on Sunday. The offense is still working on how to replace him Week 1 was the JSN Show, but that’s not how Seattle wants to operate. Will they do a better job spreading the ball around vs the Steelers? www.nytimes.com/athletic/661...

New story: Mike Macdonald says Riq Woolen’s starting job is up for grabs, in part because of how well Josh Jobe is playing. Says Riq, on the part of that he can control: “I can just continue to be Riq and continue to be the great player that I have been.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/661...

New story: The Seahawks had a bunch of offensive issues in their loss to the 49ers. Some problems were hiccups that happen in Week 1 with a new scheme. Other problems were puzzling. Then there’s the passing game, which had a very predictable problem. www.nytimes.com/athletic/661...

New story: Sometimes football is simple. Playmakers deliver in crunch time. Win your 1-on-1 matchups, you earn the right to celebrate. The 49ers were well-equipped in the waning moments. The Seahawks were not. That’s why Seattle is 0-1. www.nytimes.com/athletic/660...

New story: Sam Darnold’s consistency, decision making stood out during the $100 million QB’s 1st training camp with the Seahawks “He’s great with his timing, you know when the ball is getting out. We all expect really great things from Sam.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/658...

New story: The Seahawks have been long-term residents of the NFL’s middle class. The Mike Macdonald era is supposed to be about entering the next tier. Year 1 didn’t end that way. Year 2, in theory, should be different. www.nytimes.com/athletic/659...

Much luv to my guys on the Peltoncast! Check me out, talking about the book

New story: John Schneider focuses on the OL & DL when he watches the Seahawks play. Those units will basically determine the season. The OL is, per usual, the big question. Schneider is more confident in that unit now than he was this time last year. www.nytimes.com/athletic/658...
