    Wednesday, October 31, 2018 | Hoag Performance Center | Costa Mesa, Calif. LOS ANGELES CHARGERS HEAD COACH ANTHONY LYNN Opening Statement: “Good afternoon. I tell you, watching [Seahawks Head] Coach [Pete] Carroll, I've known him for a long time. His whole coaching staff, I've either played with or played for. It's a really good coaching staff. Right now, they are doing a heck of a job. I think they are the hottest team in the NFL right now. They have won four out of last five. They are doing it collectively in all three phases — and offensively, they are rushing the ball better than anybody the last five weeks and more rush attempts, that's kind of their formula. Defensively, they are sixth in the league and No. 2 in takeaways. That's something I know he emphasizes a lot. Special teams-wise, they have one of the best returners in the game. He was an All-Pro the last three years. I'm excited to go over there and play them at their place. It's going to be a heck of a challenge for us, our coaching staff and our players, but this is what we need right now. We think we're getting better as a football team and this is going to be one hell of a test.” On DE Joey Bosa: “Joey is going to do some things on the side, but he won't be a part of any team activities today, no.” On the Seattle running game: “Well, you know, their offensive line is powerful.

  • Josh Mcdaniels Fiasco, Anthem Protests Are Examples Why the NFL Misses Pat Bowlen Right Now by Paul Klee Colorado Springs Gazette Feb
    Josh McDaniels fiasco, anthem protests are examples why the NFL misses Pat Bowlen right now By Paul Klee Colorado Springs Gazette Feb. 11, 2018 Robert Kraft is the real villain in the Josh McDaniels-Colts fiasco. With great power comes great responsibility, and no owner uses his for self-serving interests more frequently than the Patriots’. Some of the NFL’s most prominent issues — national anthem protests, distrust between players and owners, the fallout from continued and necessary CTE studies, all that — are a direct result of the league’s knee-jerk reaction to almost anything that threatens to tarnish the shield. I call it the CYA plan. Instead of working together to advance the greater good with a sensible solution, the men in charge seek to cover their own backside. The anthem protests are the perfect example. The NBA quickly and successfully identified a solution in the form of a blanket decree that all teams must stand for the anthem. And when’s the last time you read a report on anthem issues in the NBA? There haven’t been any. There’s been zero blowback from a league roster that’s 70 percent black. The NBA’s all good. This isn’t hard. Meantime, the wishy-washy NFL tried to appease this group ... and that group ... and that other group ... and the end result has been distrust from players and alienating a sizable chunk of its fandom. Nobody follows the CYA plan — ignoring what’s best for the league in order to help itself — better than Kraft. That brings us to McDaniels, who reneged on a promise to join the Colts as coach.

  • Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll Unsicher Wann Superstar Earl Thomas Zum Team Zurückkehrt
    Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll unsicher wann Superstar Earl Thomas zum Team zurückkehrt Der Seattle Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll sagte, dass er unsicher sei, ob und wann der All-Pro Free Safety Earl Thomas für die Offseason Trainingseinheiten des Teams auftauchen wird. “Wir werden es herausfinden. Wir müssen kommunizieren”, sagte Carroll am Sonntag. Carroll’s Kommentare bestätigten, dass Thomas, der einen neuen Vertrag fordert, nicht am freiwilligen Teil des Offseason-Programms der Seahawks teilnimmt. Diese kamen als Antwort auf eine Frage, ob er erwarte, dass Thomas ausbliebe, bis die Anwesenheit verpflichtend wird. Seattle’s erster Pflichttermin in dieser Hinsicht ist das “Veteran Minicamp”, welches vom 12. bis 14. Juni läuft. Thomas tritt in das letzte Vertragsjahr seines 40 Millionen US-Dollar Deals ein, den er im Jahr 2014 unterschrieben hat. Laut Spotrac.com belegt er nun den sechsten Platz unter den Safeties beim Durchschnittsgehalt. Er sagte beim Pro Bowl im Januar, dass er einen Holdout erwäge, wenn er vor der nächsten Saison keinen neuen Deal bekomme, obwohl General Manager John Schneider seitdem mehrmals sagte, dass Thomas’ Vertreter ihn informiert hätten, dass Thomas keinen Holdout plane. Thomas, ein sechsmaliger Pro-Bowler und ein dreifacher All-Pro, war auch das Thema von Handelsspekulation in dieser Offseason. Vor allem die Dallas Cowboys sollen während dem Draft kurz vor einem Trade gestanden haben, doch dazu kam es nicht und Schneider machte klar, dass die Seahawks nicht beabsichtigen den Safety loszuwerden. Thomas könnte mit Geldstrafen belegt werden, wenn er das verpflichtende Minicamp auslassen würde, obwohl das Team entscheiden könnte, diese Strafen nicht einzufordern. In diesem Jahr beträgt die Höchststrafe 14.070 $ für den ersten Tag, 28.150 $ für den zweiten Tag und 42.215 $ für den dritten Tag, also insgesamt 84.435 $.

  • Seattle Seahawks Continue to Fly High Under Russell Wilson
    Seattle Seahawks Continue to Fly High Under Russell Wilson Author : alyssamichelle After getting off to a bumpy start going 3-3 in their first six games the Seattle Seahawks will have a chance this Sunday to claim the number one spot in the NFC West. Last Sunday the Seahawks (10-4) officially eliminated division rivals the San Francisco 49ers (7-7) from playoffs, their defense once again getting the best of Colin Kaepernick and the 49ers offense. Kaepernick was sacked six times for a loss of 36 yards in Seattle's 17-7 win. In the battle of young quarterbacks Kaepernick has been bested by Russell Wilson and company four out of five games including last years NFC championships. Only time will tell but fans could be witnessing the beginning of the next Tom Brady-Peyton Manning rivalry. When Kaepernick first took over for Alex Smith in 2012 he appeared to be the next big thing. Fast forward a couple years and Wilson now holds the record for most regular-season wins by a quarterback in their first three seasons and most importantly, a Super Bowl ring. While Kaepernick can be flashier at times, Wilson is more effective. Kaepernick has thrown for more yards this season, 3,051 compared to Wilson's 2,897, but Wilson has thrown for fewer interceptions, six compared to Kaepernick's 10, more touchdowns, 18 compared to Kaepernick's 16 and completes a higher percentage of his passes, 62.6 percent compared to 60.5. While the numbers slightly favor Wilson the biggest difference comes in the ability to get the job done in crunch time and win when your back is against the wall.
