Mich. State is currently beating North Carolina. I can't help but root for Isso. Is that his name? I admire him staying at Mich. State all these years, and his success is just below what Wooden did at UCLA. Just phenomenal coaching.
Quick question related to YouTube. What YouTube channel do you guys think would be worthwhile watching for live coverage podcast of the draft? I can watch the coverage on the NFL network, but I was wondering if anyone had a more Seahawk specific channel that will spend more time discussing Seahawk picks as they get selected and potential targets as the Seahawk picks get closer.
Thank you for all this great info! For us Football nuts this kind of info is Heaven sent! Knew of some of it but also because of this great post I know have even more to sink my head into. Thank you!
While we're on the topic of YouTube draft channels, a couple of weeks ago I started recording Seattle's pick 16 in mock drafts which involved a trade down where Seattle trades back to recoup picks in the 2nd and/or 3rd round. I used the footballguys dot com draft pick trade calculator to determine if Seattle improve by trading pick 16. If they didn't improve I didn't bother to record it. I think there's going to be a valuable player available at 16 and a trade back should only occur with improvement in Seattle's draft capital. I also ignored trades involving players and trades involving 2025 picks. My favorite trade down was with Carolina. They have no 1st round pick, but might really want a 1st round player. The trade with them gives Seattle the first pick in round 2 and the first pick in round 3 for pick 16, and the calculator says it improves Seattle draft pick value by 6%. Here are some of the trades I saw...
Green Bay:
Seattle 1-16 for GB 2-41 and 2-58 This is a 2% improvement for Seattle
Seattle 1-16 for GB 1-25 and 3-88 This is a 1% improvement for Seattle
Carolina:
Seattle 1-16 for Car 2-33 and 3-65 This is a 6% improvement for Seattle
New England:
Seattle 1-16 for NE 2-34 and 3-68 This is a 2% improvement for Seattle
Washington:
Seattle 1-16 for Wash 2-36 and 3-67 This is a 1% improvement for Seattle
Philly:
Seattle 1-16 for Phil 2-50 and 2-53 and 5-161 This is a 2% improvement for Seattle
Good vids, thanks Ken. Was fun to hear John Madden again on the old Seahawk video also.
Rick Mirer, what a guy. Over a six-game losing streak in 1994, Mirer would exceed a 50% completion rate only once. A broken thumb suffered in Week 13 would see him miss the final three games of the season. The Seahawks would again finish 6-10 (5-8 in Mirer’s starts) after starting 3-1.
In 1995 inconsistency came from Mirer, who would throw only 13 TDs to 20 INTs. Still, Seattle went 7-6 in his starts, finishing 8-8. He was picked number 2 in the draft out of Notre Dame, in the year drafted, right behind Drew Brees, but then it was discovered he couldn't throw to the left.
Dennis Erickson went 31-33 over 4 seasons coaching the Seahawks, 1995-1998. He went 9-23 coaching the 49ers over 2 seasons, 2003, 2004. Maybe you should go back to the Niners Dennis?
I'm pretty sure I just witnessed the O-Line Committee fire our new starting safety (Rayshawn Jenkins) for taking bad angles and making "business decisions" instead of tackling. Not a good sign!
I love the O-Line Committee videos, but do they reference the same "Office Space" joke ("naga... nagga... nogganna work here anymore") in every single video they make?
Kurt, Kurt, Alex, Allen? Somebody has a bias for Kurts and names with "ale" in them. I can't believe I follow this Chaucer-like pop culture drivel...more like Kenterbury Tales...
Channel: Bootleg Football. Its Brett Kollmann alongside E.J. Snyder (who is absolutely brilliant), highly highly recommended, great draft content

Great stuff!
Now I have no reason to be/act stupid, except…well….I’m still me.
I'm not sure how I managed it but I don't give Youtube a cent and I don't get the ads.
