Field Gulls: Cigar Thoughts And Deep Balls

Jacson Bevens and Danny Kelly break down the Seahawks' free agency haul, including the retention of Jermaine Kearse, Jeremy Lane, Jon Ryan, and Ahtyba Rubin.

Then, they break down what it means for the Seahawks in the NFL Draft. Listen in.  

Cigar Thoughts - Season Finale: Talking Seahawks offseason.  with Jacson Bevens, FieldGulls.com Brent Cole, What's Up! Magazine Danny Kelly, FieldGulls.com and SBNation.com Matt Nichols, FieldGulls.com Filmed at Glow Nightclub, Bellingham WA 1-20-15

Well, last week's craziness means we get to do this again. Brent and Danny were busy saving the world this week but there absence is made up for by the combined football acumen of Matt and Isaac. The three of us break down what we saw from the Seahawks' dramatic win over the Vikings as well as looking forward to individual and collective matchups against the Panthers on Sunday. Additionally, Matt and Isaac discuss their first-hand experiences playing football in extreme cold and expound on the effects it has on play-calling and execution. It was like taking a graduate class on football for an hour. Hope you all enjoy it as much as I did.

Welcome back. After what was maybe the Seahawks' best performance sinceSuper Bowl 48, Brent Cole, Danny Kelly, and Matt Nichols join me to break down Seattle's enormous win over the Arizona Cardinals and look ahead to the big, freezing playoff matchup against the Vikings. We also take some time to appreciate just what we've seen from this team this season. Another great episode. We really stretch this one out, so get comfortable.

Jacson is joined by his merry band of friends to break down the Seahawks' loss to the Rams, their season finale vs the Cardinals, and digging deep into the Xs and Os of what we saw on Sunday. Last week's show generated a lot of positive feedback so we're keeping the same three-segment format this week as well. To start, Brent, Danny, and I hash out what went down vs the Rams on Sunday. Afterward, I'm joined by Isaac Williams and Matt Nichols as they sink their teeth into exactly how the St. Louis D-line beat the Seattle O-line and what can be done about it. Finally, the five of us roundtable the Cardinals game, playoff picture, and the change in expectation, if any, of the Seahawks season.

NOTE: This podcast was originally recorded on December 24th, but it's worth listening to again.  As the Seahawks continue to build momentum heading into the playoffs, so does this show. Last week, we got a taste of some real nuts-and-bolts football talk from Matt Nichols and today we follow that up not only with Matt, but Isaac Williams as well. Williams was the captain of the Pacific Lutheran University football team in the late '90s and he and Nichols played OL together at an All Conference level and ultimately won a national championship. We turn those two loose on our brains in the second segment and it's a special thing to sit back and enjoy.
