‘This is the future’: Schneider was prescient in 2024

Leave a comment

This Seahawks-Commanders game is a good occasion to laud John Schneider for his work in replacing Pete Carroll about 32 months ago.

Dan Quinn was a natural candidate, considering his ties to the Seahawks under Carroll. But Schneider decided to go in a new direction, and he sniped Mike Macdonald from Washington, which then settled on Quinn (the third choice behind Ben Johnson, who stayed in Detroit that year, and Macdonald).

Quinn looked like a great consolation pick when he and rookie QB Jayden Daniels surprisingly led the Commanders to the NFC title game in 2024. But it has been all downhill since then. Quinn was 12-5 in his first season, plus two playoff wins, but he is 5-14 since then – including an 0-2 start heading into this game against the Seahawks.

Just one of those years: Darnold returns amid ongoing rash of QB injuries

The Seahawks are getting their quarterback back just as the Washington Commanders have lost theirs.

That is the story heading into the Week 3 meeting between the teams Sunday in Landover, Md. It’s part of a bigger overall storyline for the NFL season that has seen five teams suffer quarterback injuries over the first two weeks. Beyond creating understandable angst for fans of those quarterbacks and their teams, it has brought out the usual complaints about the “injury epidemic” in the NFL.

One popular podcaster’s tweet was picked up everywhere this week:

News flash for Middlekauff and anyone else who thinks this is a new development: Injuries have been part of football since the founding of the sport. It’s just a dangerous game, and quarterbacks are not immune.

Which 2026 opponents can beat the Hawks right now?

4 Comments

A lot of people who are not really in the know think the Seahawks have taken a step back this offseason – because they didn’t make any major additions after losing their starting running back and free safety, their third corner and their fourth edge rusher.

But they added players at three of those positions to fill the gaps and still have three picks in the first two days of the draft to augment as well. Like every other team, the 2026 Seahawks are not complete.

Even as they stand now, though, the Hawks are good enough to beat every team in the NFL on the way to another Super Bowl. The Rams are the only team that some think are better, which is completely fair to say after the Rams addressed their major weakness by trading for cornerback Trent McDuffie and also signing fellow Chiefs cornerback Jalen Watson.
