2026 Seattle Seahawks

[jacque]

The final 53 is in. Not much has changed with the rosters racial makeup, they’re still an equally solid team as last year, however the big disappointment this year was WR Jake Bobo out for the season with injury, primed to be playing legitimate snaps and often sharing the field with starter Cooper Kupp. Unfortunately star blocking fullback Robbie Ouzts was placed on season ending IR with a nagging neck injury that I’m starting to worry may end up being a career ender. Ouzts was near the best blocking FB in the league as a rookie. The Seahawks only kept 3 safeties on the roster, leaving Ty Okada to be full time permanent starter after the undrafted free agent broke out last year.

Thanks Jacque for the update. This is still a team to get behind, if not even more so than last year. By my count they sport 18 overall White athletes with 8 starters! Such a 180 from all the years of Plantation Pete.

For me, O'Toole and O'Connell making the team negates the disappointment I felt with the Bobo injury. I'm also super excited to see what Ty Okada can do as a full season starter. I think he has the chance to be pretty great. And lastly, who wouldn't want to see Sam Darnold have another great season and cement himself as a top tier QB.

Ty Okada out for the third straight week. This injury really popped up out of nowhere and is highly disappointing. A lot of people don’t realize that the UDFA out of Montana State is actually one of the better safeties in the entire league, aside from being one of our small handful of white starters.

Seahawks trade for Nelson, huge move for the rest of the season and hopefully he resigns with them (his contract is up this year) I just hope nothing crazy happens and they replace Zabel with him instead of Sumo Bradford

Wow that’s a big get for Seattle!

So up another White starter?

Unsure because there are multiple possibilities. Hawks LT Cross is injured with a high ankle sprain. Zabel at LG has been struggling somewhat, along with C Jalen Sundell. Seahawks guard Anthony Bradford just returned from injury, and RT Aberham Lucas is struggling.

Some people are speculating that Zabel will be moved to center to replace Sundell, while Nelson plays LG. White starter cannibalization. I don’t know about that because Zabel and Sundells struggles are overblown and Zabel is a high end 2nd year player. There should be no chance he is fully benched. However it would also be interesting if they had Zabel play tackle. Not that he can’t do it, but I doubt many teams are itching to move their sophomore slump guard to tackle mid season. Zabel could move to RG and take Bradford spot, he’s the notorious sumo who makes some of the most boneheaded plays you’ve ever seen which have gone viral, but despite being an awful pass blocker he’s a really nasty run blocker, upon his return against the chiefs, he played good.

Honestly, not the slightest clue what’s going to happen.
