Chase Claypool throws TD to Derek Watt, Steelers tie Eagles

Steelers offensive coordinator Matt Canada has been the subject of scorn for Steelers fans this season, but he dialed up a winner on a fourth down late in the first quarter on Sunday. After Eagles defensive end Brandan Graham committed a penalty for trying to simulate the snap on a field goal, the Steelers elected [more] from Philadelphia Eagles – ProFootballTalk https://ift.tt/UdeZcVj via IFTTT

Island #1, Allies #1, Demonslayer Vol. 2 #1 Island #1 is written and art performed by Brandan Graham, Emma Ríos, and Ludroe. My one suggestion is: do not read this digitally by pdf. It may be okay through the Comixology app, but I purchased this through a Humble Bundle and had a pdf and I found that my brain had a lot of trouble reading this as a result. Layout was terrible. I find this true for a lot of pdfs of comics from Image. This is no issue with the comic itself, but a point I feel to make because it does lower the enjoyment. I have decided that I really dislike comics through pdf and prefer physical copies. Which is sad because overall, I really enjoyed this. It’s a bit of a chaotic comic. I’m not sure how to recommend it. I suppose if you ever liked Flight you would likely enjoy this. I would be interested in reading the other issues but in physical form.

Allies #1 is written by Natalia Devova. Art by Denis Popov, Arina Erofeeva, and Victoria Vinogradova. Translation by Tatyana Omelchenko. Oh boy! Okay, so I have read some of Red Fury, which is what comes before Allies and I was not a fan. However, I did really enjoy this issue. The art is better, which is a problem I had with Red Fury. I enjoyed the story in this issue as well. It makes me want to read the next issue. So I actually do recommend this one. You do not need to have read Red Fury.

Demonslaver Vol 2 #1 is written by Alex Xatchett. Art is by Denis Popov, Anastasia Kim, and Lada Akishina. Translation by Danila Evstifeev. I will admit that, in English at least, the name is a bit confusing. I think of this as Demonslayer 2.0. This is, like Igor Grom and Allies, is post-Time of the Raven series. Demonslayer Vol 2 is referring to a second part of the series. This does not continue from Demonslayer #8. I have had several people ask me this already. Like with Allies and Igor Grom, you can start here instead of starting with Demonslayer #1. Similar to Allies and Igor Grom, you will miss important stories, however the bonus to this is that you begin with some really good characters. In Demonslayer, I feel like there is much more wait time to get to some very popular characters in the series. Whereas Demonslayer Vol 2, you start out with them all already there. This is not necessarily negative, but depends on what you want. If you are like me, you’ll just read both. I recommend all of these.

Irishman Kevin O'Brien Retires From ODI Cricket

By Brandan White

The Ireland stalwart cum all-rounder Kevin O’Brien will no longer play ODI cricket. He has called on his retirement from his ODI career to focus on T20I and Test cricket.

The 37 year old Irishman made his ODI debut against England in 2006 and has gone on to play over 150 one day internationals for Ireland.

“After 15 years playing for Ireland, I feel now is the right time to step away and retire from ODI cricket," Kevin O'Brien said in a statement released by Cricket Ireland.

"It has been an honour and a privilege to represent my country 153 times and the memories I take from them will last more than a lifetime for me. This has not been an easy decision, for me or my family, but after ongoing consideration; I don’t feel I can contribute to the ODI team as much as I have in the past. The hunger and love for the ODI format is no longer the same as it was and it would not be fair to my head coach Graham Ford, the team and our supporters to continue to play while no longer feeling at 100%." He added.

O'Brien's illustrious ODI career, regarded as one of the greatest players Ireland has ever produced, is best remembered for his record-breaking 113 in the 2011 World Cup against England. His 50-ball century is still the fastest ever in a World Cup.

He is Ireland’s third-highest run-getter in the format with 3,618 runs and also their leading wicket-taker with 114 scalps. O’Brien also finished his career with 68 catches, the most by an Irishman in 50-over cricket.

However, Kevin O'Brien will still be available for Tests and T20Is.

He has set his sights on making it to Ireland’s squad for the T20 World Cup and also adding to his three Test caps.

“I’ve had some unbelievable moments with the team since 2006 - the three World Cups, the personal successes and spending time travelling and playing all over the world, but I will now shift my focus and remain fully committed to T20 cricket - with two world cups in the next 18 months - and hoping to add to my three caps in Test cricket." concluded O’Brien.

235: Seahawks 2018 Year in Review

In his final press conference for the season, Pete Carroll characterized the 2018 Seahawks year as a season of growth. We look at many of the strengths of the team this season as well as areas of growth for 2019. With young players filling a lot of key positions, particularly on defense, Carroll sounds like he is counting on many of those players to be better. But as we've pointed out in the past, it's not always a steady progression toward awesome.

When the Seahawks lost both Jimmy Graham and Paul Richardson on offense in the offseason, we were wondering where those 16 touchdowns would go. As we hoped, a lot of those went to the run game, which improved from one score last season to 15 this year. Add that to a career year in touchdown passes for Russell, and that helped the team become the second highest scoring offense in franchise history.

Which players outperformed their contracts this season? Which ones didn't quite live up to the value? Injuries were the primary factor in determining underperformance, and apart from that the Seahawks received a high level of performance from the value of the players on the roster. The 2018 rookie class was one area in particular fans should be very happy with.

In the second half of the show we learn that nearly half of the top 10 in the pickem league cheated in a way that we made clear was not acceptable. Adam goes after Nike for requiring an app for a new pair of basketball shoes and Brandan calls out a USA Today reporter for leaving out some key facts in characterizing the Seahawks play calling this past season.

Better at life honors go to NASA for a possible upcoming mission to look for life in other parts of our solar system, and to a Philadelphia Eagles fan in second grade who provided some inspiration to fans everywhere.

We imagined how an NBA expansion draft would look today

All 30 SB Nation NBA blogs joined in to imagine a future where the league adds to expansion teams. Here are the results.

The NBA is approaching a 14th season existing with 30 teams, the longest period of time that the league has gone without adding or losing teams. Ever since the Charlotte Bobcats — now Hornets — joined in 2004, the 30-team league has been a happy, if flawed, default.

The NBA is also experiencing a global boom. It’s making more money than ever before, highlighted by a record-breaking nine-year, $24 billion television deal that kicked in last season. It’s rapidly growing in popularity both in the United States, where 29 of the 30 teams are located, and globally, where more and more international players are introduced to the league. Given the way this world works, and how quickly the NBA is rising, it was no surprise when NBA commissioner Adam Silver said this about expanding to 31 or 32 teams:

“I don’t want to put a precise timeline on it, but it’s inevitable at some point,” he told C.J. McCollum. (Yes, that’s Blazers guard C.J. McCollum).

Inevitable. That’s a strong word, but that’s where the league is headed.

SB Nation’s Tom Ziller is all over the logistics. You can read this explainer about what would need to happen for the NBA to vote for expansion, and also 13 places where the NBA could expand to, including two international options. (Not London!)

All those things have to be worked out by the smart people in the NBA before any expansion could be approved. We at SB Nation don’t have those same limitations, and we also know that there’s one especially fun thing about the process: The Expansion draft.

So, we are doing one of our own.

The concept is simple: all 30 teams can protect eight players off their roster, and the two expansion teams (it might just be one, but we’re going with two because it’s more fun) can pick from the remaining pool. They’d also get a top draft pick, but that’s not a major factor for this exercise.

We asked all 30 of our SB Nation NBA team blogs which eight players they would hold back from the expansion draft, and had them answer why.

Here’s who they protected and why:

Bullets Forever (Washington Wizards): John Wall, Bradley Beal, Otto Porter, Markieff Morris, Marcin Gortat, Kelly Oubre, Tim Frazier, Mike Scott

Then there’s the actual draft.

Using the players our team communities left unprotected, SB Nation’s Kristian Winfield drafted one team, while our Seattle Supersonics blog Sonics Rising — a hopeful and extremely likely expansion team whenever it finally happens — selected the other. They will unveil their rosters at noon ET.

NOTE: Per expansion draft rules, each new expansion team is limited to one selection per NBA team. Hence, some of the picks.

Remember the time we last did this?

Tom Ziller will take a stroll down memory lane to 2004, when the Charlotte Bobcats (now Hornets) entered the league. There were some odd players left unprotected and some fascinating ripple effects.

Who would you pick?

Now it’s your turn. Here are the five most notable players left unprotected at each position.

And here’s the full list. Pick four from each category (but not two players from the same team) and let us know your 12-man rosters in the comments section:

GUARDS: Malcolm Delaney, Terry Rozier, Isaiah Whitehead, Langston Galloway, Lou Williams, D.J. Augustin, Derrick White, Derrick Rose, Joe Young, Jawun Evans, Troy Daniels, Jamal Crawford, Frank Mason III, Michael Carter-Williams, Kay Felder, Darren Collison, Wade Baldwin, Jerryd Bayless, Brandon Knight, Fred VanVleet, Cameron Payne, Devin Harris, Jameer Nelson, Tyler Ennis, Andrew Harrison, Tyler Johnson, Matthew Dellavedova, Jordan Crawford, Shabazz Napier, Tomas Satoransky, Sean Kilpatrick, Briante Weber, Jose Calderon, Mario Chalmers, Shelvin Mack, T.J. McConnell, Pat Connaughton, Bobby Brown, Ian Clark, Semaj Christon, Randy Foye, Tony Parker, Archie Goodwin

Sam Rowe* Knee Season Alex Silvagni Knee 3-4 weeks Liam Sumner Adductor TBC Updated: Thursday, June 15

Track watch

The Blues will need to find a replacement for Silvagni when they take on Gold Coast at Metricon Stadium this Saturday night. The rugged defender came off early in the first quarter against Greater Western Sydney on Sunday and scans on Monday revealed bone bruising to his left knee, which should keep him out for 3-4 weeks. Liam Sumner will also miss with an adductor problem. – Howard Kotton

Track watch

After their bye, the Pies could welcome back quality quartet Elliott, Reid, Goldsack and Varcoe for their round 14 encounter with Port Adelaide at the MCG. Wells is several weeks away with his latest calf injury, while Sinclair is also eyeing a return in the second half of the year. – Ben Collins

Track watch

The Bombers have the bye this week, and are hopeful of regaining young midfielder Parish for their round 14 clash with Sydney after missing him the past two weeks with his minor calf strain. Brown is edging closer as he recovers from an ankle injury, as is Laverde, who hasn’t played since the JLT Community Series. – Callum Twomey

Track watch

Brady Grey’s hamstring strain in the loss to the Lions is at the lower end of the scale, in one positive to come from a dismal performance, while the Dockers would expect to get Ed Langdon and Aaron Sandilands back after the bye. Goalsneak Hayden Ballantyne should also make his second attempt at a comeback – probably with Peel although Grey’s injury has opened the door – after the weekend off. – Travis King

Track watch

Blicavs missed the Eagles clash due to soreness, but the senior list is mostly healthy although long-term injured pair Cowan and Gregson are unlikely to play again this season after undergoing surgery. Parfitt is making good progress after injuring his hamstring in round six but the Cats will be cautious, while the little known House is an outside chance to play VFL this week after making a remarkable recovery from a collarbone injury. Scott Selwood and Cockatoo need to be assessed after injuring their hamstrings in the West Coast clash. – Peter Ryan

Estimated Return

Callum Ah Chee Back Test Sam Day Hip Season Jarrod Harbrow Club suspension 1 week Touk Miller Illness/ankle 1 week Updated: Thursday, June 15

Track watch

This is the best the Suns’ injury list has looked in three years, but Miller will miss another week as he struggles to overcome an ankle problem. Ah Chee was selected to play last week but was withdrawn a day before the game. He is expected to be fine this week, but might be more likely to return through the NEAFL. – Michael Whiting

Track watch

Davis rolled his ankle against the Blues but should be fit to play after the bye, while Lobb will also be a chance to face the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba. Haynes, Hopper and Setterfield are scheduled to resume in round 14 if they can get through the next couple of weeks on the track, but after lengthy lay-offs they will probably run out in the NEAFL. – Adam Curley

Injury

Estimated Return

Grant Birchall Knee Test Luke Breust Illness Available Jonathon Ceglar* ACL Indefinite Jack Fitzpatrick Concussion Indefinite James Frawley Turf toe 4 weeks Josh Gibson Groin TBC Luke Hodge Groin Test Kieran Lovell Shoulder Indefinite Jaeger O’Meara Knee Indefinite Jonathan O’Rourke Hamstring 3-5 weeks Cyril Rioli PCL 4-6 weeks Ben Stratton Bone bruising (knee) 1-2 weeks Updated: Tuesday, June 13

Track watch

If none of the above are available for the trip to Adelaide after the bye, the Hawks might as well bring Kelvin Moore and Chris Langford out of retirement because the backline has been stripped bare. But the likelihood is that Birchall returns for just his fourth game of the year while the suspicion here is that Hodge was managed last weekend against Gold Coast so that he plays his 300th game later this season at the MCG rather than Launceston as scheduled. His return, along with that of Breust and Birchall should ensure that the Hawks take a more competitive team to play the Crows in what shapes as a difficult evening in any event. Gibson is one to watch because if his groin complaint is serious we may not see him again this season – which could possibly be his last in the AFL. – Ashley Browne

Track watch

The Demons were hopeful Gawn will be right to play, but with three six-day breaks over the coming weeks, he will miss Sunday’s clash against the Dogs. Hogan is still at least a month away from a return, the Demons revealed on Tuesday. – Ben Guthrie

Track watch

Young defender Vickers-Willis will be missing for up to eight weeks after suffering a knee injury against Richmond before the bye. That blow comes on top of Jacobs and Wright progressing slower than hoped with their respective ailments. Neither player has been sighted at AFL level this year. Veteran forward Lindsay Thomas is available after suspension, but will almost certainly resume in the VFL. – Marc McGowan

Track watch

Experienced forward Monfries injured his calf in the SANFL last Sunday. Scans revealed it was a minor calf strain. With the SANFL having a split round, Monfries will miss only one game and be expected to return for the game against Woodville-West Torrens on July 1. – Lee Gaskin

Track watch

Vlastuin is likely to be held back one more week, but the Tigers are planning to bring draftee Graham off the long-term injury list to play limited VFL minutes if he gets through training this week. Elton’s shoulder injury does not require surgery but he faces up to a month on the sidelines for rest and rehabilitation. – Nathan Schmook

Nick Riewoldt returns from bone bruising in his left knee, while Jake Carlisle copped a heavy corkie against Adelaide but is expected to face North Melbourne on Friday night at Etihad Stadium. Mav Weller rolled his right ankle for the third time this season against the Crows but came back on and played well, so he should be right. Tough nut Wright copped a shoulder knock against the Crows and Paddy McCartin has been ruled out for at least a week after pulling up sore. – Dinny Navaratnam

McVeigh, Cunningham and Robinson are likely to ramp up their training with the hope of returning in the next fortnight, but Cameron was injured in the Swans’ NEAFL game on Saturday and will have surgery on his right shoulder next week, ruling him out for the rest of the year. – Adam Curley

Track watch

Spearhead Kennedy just fell short of returning against Geelong, but defender Sharrod Wellingham has been cleared to return from an ankle injury and will play for East Perth this weekend. Venables would’ve made his debut on Thursday against the Cats but has turf toe from a training incident, while Allen appears to have suffered a major setback with stress fractures in his foot. Nelson injured his hamstring in the game on Thursday night.  – Travis King

Track watch

Premiership stars Tom Boyd and Dale Morris will return from injury for Sunday’s clash with Melbourne at Etihad Stadium, but Clay Smith will not feature in the seniors. Travis Cloke will miss due to soreness. The loss of Adams to a foot injury is a significant blow to the premiers. – Ryan Davidson

Como o novo CBA irá afetar a NBA - A Notícia do Dia

Bobby Marks, do The Vertical, que foi executivo dos Nets por 20 anos, analisou algumas das regras do novo CBA (Collective Bargaining Agreement) e o impacto que ele poderá causar no teto salarial de cada equipe.

Steph Curry will be a free agent this summer. (AP)

  O DPVE (sigla em inglês para Exceção para Jogadores Veteranos Designados), que incentiva as franquias a manterem seu time atual usando extensões ou a agência livre, é uma das maiores mudanças no CBA.

No entanto, juntamente com o DPVE surge o tema dos jogadores com contratos atuais vigentes sendo elegíveis a ajustes salariais para a próxima temporada, o que afeta a habilidade dos times de discutir extensões com os jogadores.

O The Vertical examinou os novos termos do CBA que irão afetar o teto salarial em julho.

  Ajustes de salários

Jogadores que assinaram contratos mínimos ou contratos cujo valor está abaixo da escala de salários mínimos 2017-18 terão seus salários ajustados a partir de 1º de julho.

Quando os salários forem ajustados, cada time perderá em média U$ 1 milhão em espaço no teto, pois mais de 70 jogadores receberão aumentos.

Exemplo:  Patrick McCaw, do Warriors, iria receber U$905.249 na próxima temporada.

Com um ano de serviço, seu novo salário de U$1.312.611irá refletir a escala de salário mínimo sob o novo CBA. Por isso, o Golden State irá perder U$407.000 de espaço no teto.

  Extensões contratuais de três e quatro anos

Jogadores que assinaram contratos de três anos de duração não podem iniciar conversas sobre extensões com seus times, de acordo com o CBA atual.

Uma nova regra permite que os jogadores que estão em sua terceira ou quarta temporada e atingiram o segundo aniversário de seus contratos, iniciem conversas sobre possíveis extensões.

Exemplo:  Brook Lopez, dos Nets, não seria elegível a assinar uma extensão com o Brooklyn sob a vigência do CBA atual.

Com a nova regra, Lopez pode assinar uma extensão com o Brooklyn por um total de cinco anos, incluindo os anos do contrato atual.

A regra para as extensões, no que diz respeito a jogadores que assinaram contratos de cinco anos, se mantém a mesma: Eles não podem iniciar conversas sobre extensões até atingirem o terceiro aniversário de seus contratos.

Exemplo:  Jimmy Butler, do Bulls, assinou um contrato de cinco anos em 2015, então será elegível a assinar uma extensão em julho de 2018.

  Salário do primeiro ano em extensões

De acordo com o CBA atual, o aumento máximo de salário é de 7,5% no primeiro ano de uma extensão.

Uma nova regra agora oferece mais flexibilidade ao jogador.

O aumento máximo permitido é o que for maior, considerando estas duas opções: um aumento de 120% do salário do jogador no último ano de seu contrato, ou 120% da média de salário dos jogadores (estimada em U$ 8,4 milhões em 2017-18).

A mudança nos salários do primeiro ano, no caso de extensões, irá impactar jogadores que assinaram contratos antes do aumento considerável do teto salarial em 2016.

Exemplo: Will Barton, dos Nuggets, seria elegível a assinar uma extensão neste verão começando em U$ 10,1 milhões em 2018-19, pois seu salário em 2017-18 será de U$ 3,5 milhões, e ele seria elegível a receber 120% do salário médio dos jogadores.

  Renegociação

As regras de renegociação presentes no CBA atual não serão alteradas.

Os jogadores que assinaram contratos de quatro ou cinco anos podem renegociar por um total de cinco anos após o terceiro aniversário de seus contratos atuais, se seus times tiverem espaço no teto.

  DPVE – Exceção para jogadores veteranos designados

Jogadores iniciando sua oitava ou nona temporada são elegíveis a assinar uma extensão contratual de seis anos, incluindo os anos do contrato atual, por até 35% do teto salarial (máximo Tier 1) se atingirem alguns critérios. Isso é conhecido como Designated Veteran Player Exception (DPVE).

DeMarcus Cousins, que recebeu honras do All-NBA nas duas últimas temporadas, é elegível ao DPVE, e sua extensão de seis anos e U$ 210 milhões iria incluir a temporada 17-18.

O DPVE define que um jogador deve receber honras do All-NBA (primeiro, segundo ou terceiro time) ou ser nomeado Jogador Defensivo do Ano na temporada anterior, ou em duas das últimas três temporadas.

Um jogador também pode receber honras de MVP em uma das últimas três temporadas e se tornar elegível ao DPVE.

Os times só podem nomear dois jogadores ao longo da vida do CBA.

A exceção não se aplica a um jogador se ele mudar de time – exceto durante seu contrato como calouro.

  A “Regra Stephen Curry”

De acordo com esta regra, o colega de equipe de Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, teria sido elegível a um aumento salarial significativo em seu ex-time Oklahoma City se o novo CBA tivesse entrado em vigor em julho do ano passado.

Os agentes livres que completaram oito ou nove temporadas (e não que as estejam iniciando, como é o caso do DPVE), mas atingiram os critérios do DPVE, seriam elegíveis a assinar um contrato com valor de até 35% do teto salarial.

Em julho do ano passado, Durant só pôde assinar um contrato de valor equivalente a 30% do teto.

A regra incentiva os agentes livres a se manterem em seus times atuais.

No verão passado, Durant teria sido elegível a assinar um contrato com o Thunder que poderia ter um valor aproximadamente U$ 70 milhões maior do que o que o Golden State poderia oferecer.

Curry, o atual MVP, já atingiu os critérios para este verão, e será elegível a assinar um contrato de cinco anos e U$ 210 milhões.

Assim como no caso do DPVE, a regra não se transfere. Curry estaria limitado a assinar um contrato de quatro anos com valor de até 30% do teto salarial, se fosse jogar em outra equipe.

  Uma breve análise dos times da NBA e do impacto causado nas extensões e no teto salarial no próximo verão do hemisfério norte:

Atlanta Mudança salarial:                            Ryan Kelly (NG) Aumento no teto:                                     U$489.485 Elegível à extensão:                        Paul Millsap (P)

O Charlotte poderia estender o contrato de Walker por no máximo três temporadas adicionais, começando com U$ 14,4 milhões em 2019-20.

Chicago Mudança salarial:                           Isaiah Canaan (NG) R.J. Hunter (NG) Paul Zipser Aumento no teto:                                     U$1.353.483 Elegível à extensão:                          Robin Lopez

Liderados por Irving, os Cavaliers têm quatro jogadores elegíveis a extensões.

Irving, no entanto, não será elegível ao DPVE até o verão de 2018, e precisaria receber honras do All-NBA em 2017-18 para cumprir todos os critérios.

Dallas Mudança salarial:                           Salah Mejri (NG) A.J. Hammons Dorian Finney-Smith (NG) Nicolas Brussino (NG) Pierre Jackson (NG) Aumento no teto:                                    U$1.996.084 Elegível à extensão:                       Wes Matthews Jose Barea Devin Harris (R)

O Houston poderá negociar com Harden por causa do DPVE.

Indiana Mudança salarial:                            Joe Young (NG) Rakeem Christmas (NG) Georges Niang Glenn Robinson (NG) Kevin Seraphin (NG) Aumento no teto:                                   $1.709.851 Elegível à extensão:                       Paul George (R) Thaddeus Young Monta Ellis Rodney Stuckey C.J. Miles Lavoy Allen Glenn Robinson Rakeem Christmas Joe Young

Jordan e Griffin são elegíveis a uma extensão.

Embora Jordan tenha recebido honras do All-NBA na temporada passada, ele não seria elegível ao DPVE porque estaria iniciando sua 10ª temporada na NBA.

Griffin, por outro lado, seria elegível ao DPVE se optasse por continuar com seu contrato atual e recebesse honras do All-NBA nesta temporada.

Se ele optasse por terminar o contrato, e recebesse honras do All-NBA, ele seria elegível à “Regra Curry”.

L.A. Lakers Mudança salarial:                           Larry Nance Jr. Ivica Zubac Aumento no teto:                                    U$442.824 Elegível à extensão:                        Lou Williams Nick Young (P)

Miami Mudança salarial:                             Willie Reed (P) Josh Richardson (NG) Rodney McGruder (NG) Aumento no teto:                                   U$1.353.483 Elegível à extensão:                      Josh Richardson

Anthony é elegível a uma extensão contratual a partir de julho.

O New York pode acrescentar três temporadas adicionais ao contrato atual de Anthony, mas só pode aumentar seu salário de U$ 27,9 milhões na temporada 2018-19 em 120%.

Anthony não é elegível ao DPVE porque já tem mais de 10 anos de serviço.

Oklahoma City Mudança salarial:                         Semaj Christon (NG) Jerami Grant (NG) Josh Huestis Aumento no teto:                                       U$1.161.889 Elegível à extensão:                       Russell Westbrook Enes Kanter Jerami Grant

221: Even in AZ winning is better than losing, how the Seahawks take on the Rams without ET3, KJ, or Kendricks

Coming out of the 20-17 win against the Cardinals, an unlikely position group is getting some leaguewide recognition. The Seahawks offensive line was highlighted by NFL.com as one of the top five units in the league this last week. Adam and Brandan take a look at just how little Russell Wilson had to worry about getting hit in this game. With Pocic on his way back to being healthy, they look at how the Seahawks are approaching it considering the relative success they've had with this particular group of five players over the past two weeks.

The loss of Earl Thomas will have an impact, but which player injury will have the more long-term impact for the Seahawks. Will Dissly has on the brink of having a breakout rookie season, but could the prior injury of Jimmy Graham provide some optimism for Seahawks fans that the Montana native can return to the player we saw through the first quarter of the season.

Looking ahead to the matchup with the Rams, it's going to be a significant challenge against a team averaging around 35 points a game through their first four games and a team that put up big numbers in Seattle last season. The loss of Thomas right before this game will have an impact, but should Seahawks fans be as concerned that KJ Wright will continue to be out especially with Mychal Kendricks now out indefinitely from his suspension from the NFL? John in Louisville emails in to provide some helpful pointers for the offense in the matchup with the Rams.

After the break, the guys take a look at the team after the first quarter of the season and project forward on what would need to happen to contend for a playoff spot. An email to the show from Nathan shows that even a few days out after a win, it's still maddening how one play call in particular shifted the game and impacted the career of Earl Thomas.

Closing out the show, Adam has two drop a ‘do better' on two sports analysts he deeply respects and Brandan congratulates the few people who were able to find the audio of an historic first in NFL sports media. Better at life honors go to a team of scientists who are taking the first steps to preventing Armageddon and to our Seahawks kicker who reminds us that winning continues to be a better option than losing while helping our quarterback be one of the ultimate winners among the Seattle franchise quarterbacks.

207: Los Angeles Rams – Know Your Rival, with James and Bear of the Rams Podcast

The way the offseason has played out for Rams and the Seahawks, things couldn't be more different. With departing stars like Richard Sherman, Michael Bennett, and Cliff Avril now off the team on defense. Seahawks fans have also watched Jimmy Graham and Paul Richardson sign big contracts to go to other teams in free agency. On top of that, Kam Chancellor career is in question and Earl Thomas held out from the team's minicamp.

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Rams only seem to be adding stars. Brandin Cooks was traded to the Rams from the Patriots and on defense they acquired Ndamukong Suh, Marcus Peters and Aqib Talib. Brandan and Adam talk to James and Bear about their feelings the directions the two teams appear to be going and why simply going by arrivals and departures could be a bit deceptive when it comes to both squads.

One of the hallmarks of our talks with the Rams Podcast over the past two seasons, and now into our third, is our annual bet. The first year Adam lost a bet between Thomas Rawls and Todd Gurley. Last year was one between Cooper Kupp and Tyler Lockett. This year, the bet moves to the defensive side of the ball, as well as a bonus bet with both teams going head to head.

In the second half of the show, the guys tease the new song “Crappin' on the Rams” which closes this week's show. Find out why Adam has some sentimentality to this one particular iconic 80s rock song that the new tune parodies. After some blowback last episode to Brandan's comments about the Godfather, he explains his position as to why he couldn't put it at the top spot for greatest movie of all time. The guys close the show with a listener submitted ‘do better' for a great American accomplishment that may have gone mostly unnoticed in the news and a better at life nod toward Sandy Gregory, who started her career with the Seahawks in 1976 and just announced her retirement.

181: Russell’s campaign for MVP, Lacy shows his style in 49ers victory, Seahawks make up names to add to o-line depth

With the win over the San Francisco 49ers, Russell Wilson passed another big milestone as the winningest quarterback in NFL history through his first six seasons. He also became the fastest players to throw for 150 touchdowns and rush for 3,000 yards. That puts him up with only seven other NFL players in history to hit those numbers and half of the retired players on that list are in the Hall of Fame.

Bobby Wagner had another big game with an incredible interception and it was also a big day for tight ends. Nick Vannett caught his first touchdown pass in the NFL and Jimmy Graham now has more touchdown catches than any other Seahawks tight end in team history. Adam and Brandan talk about how much fun the tight ends room must be at the team facility and how it compares to the receiver's room.

Looking ahead to the matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles, the guys talk about what the Eagles do well, including the talk of Carson Wentz and his MVP potential. The Eagles are top in the league when it comes to run defense and their also near the top with their run game on offense. Adam talks about why their team strengths match up well for Seattle considering the Seahawks strengths to this point in the season.

In the second half of the show the guys talk about some injury updates and how the Jacksonville game was flexed to the afternoon. Now the Seahawks have no games at 10am PT this season. There was one questionable transaction as the Seahawks appear to be making names up of offensive lineman to the practice squad.

After reading some emails and Facebook posts, Adam tells Apple why they need to do better and Brandan talks about a drone pilot arrested near the game this weekend. Better at life honors go to scientists for proving the correct way to have toilet paper on the roll and to Russell Wilson as we cheer him on down the stretch this season.

3 IN, 3 OUT – Sweet Home CLink East – Seahawks v. Giants

by fellow 12 Clinton Bonner

Sea Hawkers Pod 12s Own Clink East

  The sun? Check!

The fun? Check!

The grub? Check!

The love? Check!

The 12s? Check!

The start? Well… we'll get to that

The finish? Check!

The big ‘road' W at CLink East? Check and mate.

What can we say fellow 12s… sometimes life hands ya bacon and this past Sunday at CLink East was just one of ‘dem days. With that, let's start with a big thank you to a gaggle of Flockers and let's start this thing off right saying thanks to Brandan and Adam who trekked all the way in from Big Sky Country!

I hadn't met this dynamic duo sans being ‘cyber friends' for a time now and I do want our world to know they are who you thought they would be! Genuine good dudes, genuine passion… Brandan a bit more cerebral, stoic, dare I say calm in the face of 12-dom and most often with a satisfaction laden grin across his bearded mug with just enough snark to let you know he's listening … Adam-isms you hear on the pod aren't just his ‘pod life', that's him! He's fired up, fast talking, opinionated, really sports hates Bruce Arians, mentions Jared a good bit, and would make for a perfectly good East Coast Italian-American if he would just learn to wave his hands around a lot more. It was fantastic to get to hang with these dudes, so thanks for putting it all in motion.

Of course there is the Flock who came out and were equally amazing to hang with including Stephanie and Cameron Cole, MK and Josh, Gary Blum and his awesome daughter Jenna, Jon Wondrack, Kofi Poku, Christian Tjessem and Mary (all the way from Norway so they did better!!!) and many others throughout the day including the boys, Stuart and Adam from the Pedestrian Podcast … or as I like to refer to it, the Seahawks pod across the pond!

And I have to give some love to my cousin Joel and our boy Hot Rod, two Giants fans who not only endured being surrounded by 12s all day, but also cooked us steak and provided us with the foodvention of the year … the CLink East Burger aka charcoal grilled cheeseburger with tri-tip steak and loaded potato salad on a bun of goodness.

the CLink East Burger

  Sometimes, life hands ya bacon.

  In! This group of people right here. #3i3o @clintonbon http://pic.twitter.com/6lWmTihXta

  You know the drill by now … when we win, we start with an IN, so let's do exactly that.

  IN – Sir Mix-A-Lot

Only if she's five-three

  You may think I'm foolish… but upon re-watching, I looooooooved what this offense did to open up the game . The very first play in fact was 5-wide, motion Rawls to the backfield, read-option run to the right, Rawls gain of 6.

OMGosh, just what Dr. Bevell, Medicine Woman ordered. The offense in our 2-first series was a 9 outta 10 great. We saw Rawls & Lacy with gains of 5+ yards on the ground. We saw an early deep shot to EDB (that's Elite Doug Baldwin for ya n00bs) as well as a classic Doug 3rd down conversion as he found a soft spot in the middle of the field. We saw consistently good run blocking and good enough pass protection… and heck, we even saw a Jet Sweep and a key completion to Darboh.

They call this something in sports and no, not just a functioning NFL offense… but it's called being dynamic. Like any good Nirvana tune (or heck even a copycat Nirvana such as Oleander), our offense had a great mix going early of power running, quick hitting conservative passing, and stretching the field with shots over 20 yards.

Baby got back alright … Me likey where this offense is growing.

  OUT – Can't Stop the Feeling

Those first two drives we relished in just above resulted in about 100 yards of offense and our ‘Hawks dominating time of possession with around 10 minutes of clock earned. But, it also netted exactly zero points.

Loved going for it on 4th and 2 (or so) from the G-Men 2, it was the right call.

What wasn't right in those first two drives were un-timely unforced errors in the form of false starts, blocking whiffs, and a case of the ‘Mamma Dropsies'.

Ifedi's offsides on drive 1 to take us from 2nd and 5 to 2nd and 10 killed that drive's ‘mo.

We suffered another offsides on the following drive deep in Big Blue territory… Que Lastima!

With Britt out (injured a few plays previous), on 2nd down from the Giants 1.5, we suffered a jailbreak as Lacy was met 3.5 yards in the backfield for a huge loss… and finally…

Jimmy. Jimmy, I love ya … c'mon man, been defending you since the trade, you've GOT to make red zone catches for us!!!

2 B+ drives that are A's if we just execute. Frustrating.

Flocktimus Prime had this squared up from jump street, well done Keith.

Not finishing 1st half drives is #OUT. Hopefully just a step between no offense and dominant offense. @clintonbon #3i3o

— Keith Ketover (@FlocktimusPrime) October 23, 2017

    IN – Jarranimo

Faithful flock, if you dig #3i3o, we're grateful and we hope we provide some extra love, extra value, extra spicy sauce to our collective ‘Hawkra that makes ya smile. So, for the faithful readers, you'll remember that our pre-season post discussing 3 unsung Seahawks that would make or break our year, we dedicated 33.33% of that article to one Jarran Reed.

Now you read (from the aforementioned article of destiny):

“Our Run D was OUTSTANDING in 2016 and very often it was due to players like Reed filling their role – and their gaps – professionally and allowing others like Wagner, Clark, Wright and more to make big plays. Reed was more than above average last season against the run and on a line with the likes of Avril, Bennett, Clark, and now Sheldon … so what if he records only a few sacks?

While Nazair Jones was one of the darlings of pre-season – and deservingly so – Reed enters year-2, nearly as a forgotten man.

There’s no metric here to follow, this one is all about your gut. Watch the trenches with intent. If Reed is being consistent up the gut, consistently clearing lanes for our LBs and DEs to make big plays, consistently non-flashy but darn effective … our Seahawks will be marching on to Minnesota come February.”

This wasn't Jarran's only impact play, but it's the one we'll all recall, and with great reason!

  Jarran Reed forces a fumble on Manning http://pic.twitter.com/fjN1Tw27f9

— Billy Marshall (@BillyM_91) October 22, 2017

For those that can or already have re-watched the game, focus on Reed for a bit, you will continue to see what this man is doing right up the gut. He's progressing and getting even better in year 2. Jarran Reed is a big, big factor for our ‘Hawks and as my brother Scotty likes to say… Love to say I told ya so. Want more proof?

Samuel Gold knows his stuff:

Jarran Reed ranked 2/66 interior defenders with a run stop % of 30.4%. He also had the strip sack on Eli Manning as well. #Seahawks

OUT – Sexy Deep Baaaaaaalmost

First He giveth, then He taketh away. Such is life on the roller coaster we call 3 IN, 3 OUT. And while us 12s must be our best Fat Boy Slims and praise Russ like we do, this is the facts of Seahawks life … and they can’t all be Jo’s or Tooties now can they?

Russ has mastered the intermediate – 20 to 34 yard, drop it in the bucket pass. See Baldwin’s beauties if you’re not following the floating ball here people.

One aspect of Russ’ game that is a little askew this season is the really ‘Sexy Deep Ball’. Sure he connected with P-Rich with some razzle-dazzle and one heck of a snag by our decadian wearing Colorado Buffalo, but we’re focused on a slightly different type of SDB.

Multiple times this year, and 2x just this passed Sunday, Russ missed a wide open Baldwin and Lockett, respectively. The good? Baldwin and Lockett are consistently getting behind DBs this year, and even misses on SDBs open the field for later offensive domination. The bad? Russ needs to make some of these opps count.

He takes an OUT in a game where we dominated and he threw for ‘3 and 3’. This is a game that should have been 34 to 7 and in the not-too-distant future we’ll be up against much, much better offensive talent where 24 probably won’t cut it.

  IN – Russ to Jimmy… Wait, What!?

I know, I know… I'm a shill for Jimmy Graham, it's not, not true.

We all know about the 2 HUGE drops … they are deserving of an OUT unto themselves, so we’re not sugar coating it here peeps. What excites me is the way Jimmy is being used over the last few weeks.

When Jimmy dropped what shoulda been his first TD of the day, it wasn’t some fade route that sailed aimlessly over Jimmy’s head (though we had one of those too). We love Russ, and we should vigorously defend him to any NFL fan that sees him as some average QB… Trust me, they’re still out there!!!

But Russ is on the struggle bus when it comes to End Zone fade routes. It’s like watching Matthew Broderick’s 1998 Godzilla… it just makes ya ill.

Jimmy’s TD drop and then subsequent TD catch show us that Bevell and co. seem to have learned that we can still use Jimmy in the Red Zone and throw him a different route than the fade… this is VERY encouraging.

Graham’s other big drop might have also went for 6 and surely woulda went for 35+ yards. OK, he beefed it and dropped a wide open delivery from Russ… but where was Graham when he Buckner’d that bad boy? He was wiiiiiide out, streaking down the left sideline on that route. Combine this with the more 5-wide schemes we are seeing, combine this with Russell going for well over 300 yards on the day, with 3 TDs… combined with this true fact:

The #Seahawks are 12-0 in the regular season when Russell Wilson throws three touchdowns in a game. https://t.co/dod5P73UJA http://pic.twitter.com/7EbVQTxfA4

— Aron Yohannes (@AronYohannes) October 23, 2017

And this is a big, big IN.

OUT – Ticky Tacky Crappy

Dominating win, on the road, which was quickly followed by a work road-trip of my own. So pardon the easy route here of using an OUT on two types of penalty calls that just bug the snot outta me.

Defensive Holding on run plays – There must've been some committee meeting this offseason to put a spotlight on defensive holding during run plays because, well, I just can't for the life of me remembering seeing this call all that much… ummmm ever. Now, it seems like once a game this dumb-dumb call gets used. Hey NFL, why don't you work on ways so that the Refs are LESS involved and not creating new things to play ‘gotcha' with… ugggh, OUT.

Our ‘Hawks ‘luck' with offensive PI calls … I just re-watched the Lockett TD that was negated and again, the improper insertion of the white stripes to hurt the ‘Hawks is evident. I realize other teams get banged for offensive PIs too, but we just seem to more often AND usually, as was the case here, the calls are pure rubbish.

Bonus IN

We dominated, so a bonus IN, why not?

Quickly, this goes to Justin Coleman and not for covering guys that would otherwise be on a practice squad, but for his abilities making tackles near the line of scrimmage. Justin Coleman for a 7th round pick… we've discussed this before, but my oh my, this is turning out to be a complete steal.

If you have the ability to re-watch the game go to the 12:53 mark of the 3rd quarter and you'll see why Coleman gets the bonus IN!

  From the Flock!!!

My favorite segment of #3i3o is hearing it from YOU … so let's see what ya'll had to say this week!

Feeling bad for Ross Bell of the UK Sea Hawkers and the Pedestrian Podcast … he was the 3rd leg of the UK stool, but he couldn't make the trip this time out – we missed ya Ross!

  Early #3I3O 4 @clintonbon. When your podcast partners fly off to New York for the game and leave you at home! #OUT @adamdnathan @Stu_Court

— Ross Bell (@RossBell1984) October 19, 2017

  Flocktimus' game was strong this Sunday!!!

  The left side of the line was #IN. @EthanPocic@MarkGlowinski73@Rees_o71 getting it done! @clintonbon#3i3o

— Keith Ketover (@FlocktimusPrime) October 23, 2017

  Ron didn't specifically tag this #3i3o, nor does he have to – I just thought this was a popular opinion that ought to be re-shared:

  Ron bringing the Pepper heat on Jimmy

  Samsies here, I just loved this post so had to re-share this gem from Erik. While I can't preach for Frank the Tank's grasp of the Laffer Curve or P-Rich's position on legalized pot… I can back this ticket.

  1,2,3… What's Next!!!???

Back to CLink West we go. I'm fired up to watch this evolved LOB go up against Watson, Hopkins, Fuller and others. The weather looks pristine as of right now and that matters because Russ ain't great in the rain. I expect our O to keep tightening things up and my spidey sense is telling me we're about to see our best offensive performance of the year.

Let's just see if good ole' Mamma Cleo's crystal ball is crystal clear.

Until Sunday Flockers … see you on Twitter and on the Sea Hawkers Ring of Honor on FB where if you use the tag #3i3o I'll do my bestest to get your account included in the weekly dash of extra Seahawks goodness!

A HUGE Thank you to Brandan and Adam for creating something special here and Go ‘Hawks !!!

168: Russell Wilson continues preseason domination with Odhiambo at left tackle, decisions ahead with the 53-man roster

The Seahawks pick up another preseason victory, 26-13 over the Kansas City Chiefs, as the Legion of Boom holds Alex Smith under 50 yards and the offense to only 3 points. Russell Wilson has looked incredible as he dials in his game this pre-season. Explosive plays to Jermaine Kearse, Chris Carson and Jimmy Graham were a big part of his 200-yard effort.

Part of the reason for his success was the fact that he was given time to throw behind an offensive line that, now with Rees Odhiambo at left tackle, looks like it may not have been impacted by the injury to George Fant. Despite Procise and Rawls sitting out another preseason game, the running game impressed with Eddie Lacy and Chris Carson. The guys talk about what that means for Alex Collins and some of the other backs on the roster.

With most of the starters likely sitting out against the Raiders this week, Adam and Brandan look ahead to that game with the idea of who they want to see to help make some of the tough decisions with the 53-man roster.  They also discuss how some contract maneuvering and depth at running back could leave fullback Marcel Reece off the initial cut only to be brought back after Week 1.

In the second half of the show, the guys wonder what some of the foods are that you wouldn't want to drink beer with.  Brandan questions Adam's prediction of Rees Odhiambo for the Pro Bowl and why that's what he's choosing to root for this year. The guys discuss an email that has a listener infuriated over Russell Wilson's placement on a recent list.

Finally, Do Better nods to go to some uninformative coverage from ESPN regarding the uptick in demonstrations during the National Anthem and Adam calls out the dirtiest player in the NFL. Better at life honors go to Adam's favorite general manager in basketball while Brandan talks about an MMA fighter who provided some entertainment on his way to a big payday.
