Seahawks - Team History
Seattle Seahawks, professional football team and one of five teams
in the Western Division of the American Football Conference (AFC)
of the National Football League (NFL). Under the league’s realignment
plan, which will take affect in 2002, the Seahawks will move into
the West Division of the National Football Conference (NFC). The Seahawks
played in the Kingdome in Seattle, Washington, from 1976 to 1999.
The stadium was demolished in early 2000, and the club adopted Husky
Stadium at the University of Washington as its home field while a
new stadium, scheduled to be completed in 2002, was constructed. The
team wears uniforms of blue, green, and silver.
The Seahawks
joined the NFL in 1976 when the league granted an expansion team
franchise to John Nordstrom, a Seattle department store owner. In
the club’s first season, quarterback Jim Zorn passed for more
than 2,500 yards and was named the league’s top offensive
rookie. Jack Patera was named coach of the year in 1978 after leading
the Seahawks to their first winning season. Zorn led the AFC in
passing yardage that year, and wide receiver Steve Largent notched
the first of his eight 1,000-yard seasons.
Former Buffalo
Bills and Los Angeles Rams head coach Chuck Knox was hired in 1983
to guide the Seahawks. Rookie running back Curt Warner led the AFC
in rushing that year, producing the first of his four 1,000-yard
seasons with the club. Quarterback Dave Krieg became one of the
league’s most efficient passers. The Seahawks earned their
first trip to the playoffs in 1983, defeating their first two opponents
before losing to the Los Angeles Raiders (now Oakland Raiders) in
the AFC Championship Game.
Knox’s
Seahawks collected a club-record 12 victories in 1984 but lost in
the second round of the playoffs. In 1986 Largent set an NFL record
by catching a pass in his 128th consecutive game, and a year later
he broke the record for most career receptions, surpassing Charlie
Joiner, who had totaled 750. The Seahawks won their first division
crown in 1988. The team struggled defensively, however, and lost
in the first round of the playoffs.
Largent retired
in 1989 as the most prolific wide receiver in professional football
history. He became only the second receiver, after Don Hutson, to
own career records in yards (13,089), receptions (819), and touchdowns
(100) all at the same time. (Jerry Rice now holds all three records.)
During the 1990s,
the Seahawks’ stars included wide receiver Brian Blades, running
back Chris Warren, and tackle Cortez Kennedy. The Seahawks stumbled,
however, posting five losing records in seven seasons from 1990
to 1996. After adding talented new players such as linebacker Chad
Brown and defensive back Shawn Springs, they returned to the playoffs
in 1999.
The Seattle
Seahawks have never played in the Super Bowl.
I visited all 33 Super Cars--IndyCar race cars that are painted to represent each NFL team, plus Super Bowl XLVI--around central Indiana, and while all of the cars were terrific, five of them really jumped out at me as being extra sharp.
The 2012 Pro Football Hall of Fame cast has been announced, and the six named to the game's greatest honor this year were Jack Butler, Dermontti Dawson, Chris Doleman, Cortez Kennedy, Curtis Martin and Willie Roaf. It's a very interesting … Continue reading →
<p>During their final day cleaning out lockers at the Seahawks team headquarters, Seattle players remained hopeful that head coach Pete Carroll will keep this young group together, giving them a chance to make a postseason run in 2012.</p>
<p>"This team took a turn this year from last year," fullback Michael Robinson said. "It went from the coaches pretty much directing us to this year we kind of took ownership of the team, and it became our team. And that's what you like to see at this level. Nothing else can motivate you more than your peers."</p> Seattle finally figured out how to play as a unit in the second half of the season, finishing 5-3 down the stretch and leaving some players ready to start the season sooner rather than later.</p> <p>"You wish everything could start right now...
INDIANAPOLIS - Children playing contact sports are suffering too many blows to the head and an advocacy group is calling for a "hit count" to total them up before it's too late.
Kids playing contact sports are suffering too many blows to the head, and an advocacy group is calling for a "hit count" to total them up before it's too late. Just as Little League pitchers are on pitch counts to protect their elbows, a hit count would prevent the repeated blows that can cause concussions and lead to extreme brain trauma, Chris Nowinski, co-founder of the Sports...
I enjoy watching the Super Bowl every year, but as a fan of the Seattle Seahawks, I do get a bit jealous. After all, the Patriots have been there multiple times before, as have the Giants. Both teams obviously deserve to be in the big game, but that doesn't stop me from wishing...
Among all the many things that makes Tom Brady such a great quarterback, perhaps the most valuable and overlooked trait is his ability to change schemes through his career, master those different concepts, and keep playing at an elite level. … Continue reading →
Despite making his first trip to Hawaii, it's been a bittersweet and exhausting week for Seattle Seahawks fullback Michael Robinson. Robinson arrived in the islands Tuesday only to fly out after the next day's Pro Bowl practice to speak at the memorial services of his college coach, Joe Paterno.
Due to a high numbers of players dropping out of the 2012 Pro Bowl, the Seattle Seahawks will now send five players to represent the NFC this weekend (Jan. 29). It's quite an accomplishment for the franchise, especially because it shows off two of the biggest strengths that the...
Three more Seattle Seahawks have been tabbed for the NFL's Pro Bowl on Jan. 29, and in an interesting coincidence, all three 'Hawks replace members of the division rival San Francisco 49ers. On Jan. 23, the Seahawks announced that defensive backs Brandon Browner and Kam...
The Seattle Seahawks will have a fifth player attending the 2012 Pro Bowl as a member of the NFC roster. On Tuesday night (Jan. 24), it got revealed that San Francisco 49ers running back Frank Gore had decided to pull out of the festivities due to an injury.
How would Peyton Manning look in a Seattle Seahawks uniform in 2012? Strange, but potentially very exciting. It is probably a bit early to speculate on that sort of possibility, but signs point to the possibility that the Colts may cut Manning loose or try to trade him.
The Seattle Seahawks have signed linebacker Tressor Baptiste to a futures contract, snapping up the rookie out of Texas A&M-Kingsville who spent time with the Chicago Bears in the 2011 preseason and who was slated to suit up for the Kansas City Command of the Arena Football League...
Great news came through for the Seattle Seahawks as two more players got added to the 2012 NFC Pro Bowl team. Prior to this, safety Earl Thomas got voted into the starting roster and then fullback Michael Robinson got added to the team when an injury took out the starting...
Michael Robinson is now a member of the 2012 NFC Pro Bowl team. The Seattle Seahawks' fullback got added to the team this week after Green Bay Packers fullback John Kuhn pulled out of the game. It looks like Kuhn has an injury that won't allow him to play in the game, but...
Seattle Seahawks running back Michael Robinson will replace Green Bay's John Kuhn on the NFC's Pro Bowl roster it was announced Thursday. Not only was Robinson an effective blocker for Marshawn Lynch, who rushed for over 1,000 yards and collected touchdowns in 11-straight...
San Francisco 49ers tight end Delanie Walker practiced for the first time with the team Wednesday after suffering a broken jaw in a Dec. 24 game vs. the Seattle Seahawks. Walker was reportedly limited during practice, but did catch passes in drills according to a report on...
