We can remove another NFC West unrestricted free agent from the pool of available players. Cameron Morrah, a Seattle Seahawks seventh-round draft choice from the Tim Ruskell era, agreed to terms with the San Francisco 49ers. He joins Jason Jones a...

NFC West teams have drafted five quarterbacks, acquired two by trade, shipped off four others for draft choices and spent roughly $130 million on the position -- all since 2010. It's been a wild ride. In 2012 alone, every team in the division b...

San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh, frustrated over the absence of a late pass-interference call in Super Bowl XLVII, might not embrace a stat ESPN's John Clayton dug up for his latest "Inside the Huddle" video (above). I can help on that front, ...

Five nuggets of knowledge about Week 17: Three of a kind. Not since 1991 have three NFC West teams finished a season with winning records. It could happen in 2012 if the St. Louis Rams upset the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. The Rams would finish 8-...

Pete Carroll's Seattle Seahawks scored what I saw as a signature victory over the 4-1 Chicago Bears at Soldier Field back in 2010. "This is very reminiscent of the formula I have become accustomed to -- the big back hitting it hard and the flashy ...

Back in January, someone around here warned precocious NFC West defensive backs against getting too cocky. A long list of esteemed quarterbacks awaited them on the 2012 NFL schedule, after all. Let me rephrase: Those esteemed quarterbacks should w...

Pete Carroll and his Seattle Seahawks coaching staff have shown little use for conventional wisdom. They've built a strong, ascending defense in decidedly unconventional fashion. As discussed Tuesday, we'll be better off setting aside the usual te...

Will Seattle Seahawks quarterback Matt Flynn live up to his Green Bay hype? J.C. Colom asked the question via Facebook, and initially I was reluctant to answer it. Some things must wait until the regular season because there's not enough evidence ...

Brandon Stokley became a preferred target for Matt Hasselbeck when the two were playing for the Seattle Seahawks. More recently, Stokley became a factor in securing Peyton Manning for the Denver Broncos. There's something about a reliable slot ...

Good morning, and thanks to those who offered well wishes as our family drove back to Washington from California following a visit to see my father-in-law. His health has improved in recent days, and we made it back safely. Thursday was mostly qui...

Similarities between Matt Flynn and Matt Hasselbeck border on eery. Flynn, like Hasselbeck in 2001, came to the Seattle Seahawks from the Green Bay Packers. Both were reunited in Seattle with personnel people they knew in Green Bay (John Schneider...
