Marshawn Lynch to serve as ‘special correspondent’ for Seahawks

Suffice to say it will be appointment viewing.

The product on the field for the Seattle Seahawks will likely take a big step backwards this year. However, in the absence of Russell Wilson or any realistic hope of winning a playoff game, the team will have a few franchise legends helping to improve their off-the-field product this season.

In addition to fan favorites Michael Bennett and Michael Robinson joining the preseason broadcast team, Seattle says Marshawn Lynch will serve as a “special correspondent” later this season and will produce creative content on a variety of projects.

We can’t wait to see what the team has cooked up for Lynch. Suffice to say it will be appointment viewing.

For now, we leave you with his impression of Darth Vader.

Richard Sherman argues against Matt Stafford’s case for Hall of Fame

Sherman disagreed.

Most of the Seahawks and former Seahawks who shared their thoughts about the Super Bowl on Twitter were congratulatory. Russell Wilson, Tyler Lockett, Quandre Diggs and Doug Baldwin all went out of their way to praise Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford and his teammates on their win. Former Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman was relatively quiet during the game, only sharing his well-wishes for Odell Beckham Jr. after his injury, which we now know was a torn ACL.

The morning after, Sherman responded to a tweet from former teammate and current NFL Network analyst Mike Robinson – who claimed Stafford’s career numbers help his Hall of Fame argument.

Sherman disagreed.

Sherman kept at it, debating several other players, analysts and random fans on Stafford’s bonafides for Canton.

What do you think? Does Stafford have a strong enough case now that he has a ring, or is he not a Hall of Famer yet?

Seahawks fan favorite Mike Robinson talks about Beast Quake run

Watch former Seahawks fan favorite fullback Mike Robinson share his memories about the Beast Quake.

11 years later, it remains the defining moment in Seahawks history. That’s saying something for a franchise that won the Super Bowl by 35 points against an all-time great offense. Nevertheless, Marshawn Lynch’s seismic 67-yard touchdown run against the Saints is the pinnacle of Seattle football.

Mike Robinson: Seahawks have the best backup QB in the NFL in Geno Smith

Ask former Seattle fullback Mike Robinson and he’ll tell you that Geno Smith is the best backup QB in the NFL.

The Seattle Seahawks believe in Geno Smith. That much is obvious based on everything they’ve said about him over the last 10 days. Smith looked sharp when he subbed in for Russell Wilson against the Rams and has started 31 games in his career, so there’s reason to be hopeful about what he can do over these next few weeks with Wilson out.

Watch: Mike Robinson predicts Panthers will win NFC South this year

Watch former Seahawks fullback and NFL Network analyst Mike Robinson predict Carolina will win the division.

Most analysts are expecting the Panthers to finish in last place in the NFC South this season. Some disagree.

Watch former Seahawks fullback and NFL Network analyst Mike Robinson predict Carolina will win the division.

All fullbacks are awesome people by definition and Robinson is no exception to the rule. That said, this is pretty unrealistic.

We have the Saints (12-4) winning the NFC South title again, followed by the Buccaneers (10-6) then the Falcons (7-9).

What’s a realistic prediction for the Panthers this year?

Anything can happen if there’s a breakout of injuries to key players like there was in 2019. If that’s the case, they could lose as many as 12 games. With average injury luck, 6-10 feels right.

If everything goes right, including Matt Rhule proving to be a genius, nobody important getting injured, Teddy Bridgewater at least doubling his previous season-high touchdown total and the defense performing far above expectations, then an 8-8 record is achievable.

As for today’s game, we originally projected the Panthers would beat the Raiders 27-24. However, at that time we were expecting the team to do more to fix the cornerback situation than they have. Throw in no home-field crowd energy to draw from and we’re expecting Las Vegas to score another touchdown. Our prediction is 31-27, Raiders. This is still a very winnable game, though and Carolina is one of the best underdog bets this week.
