Here's something I wrote about the Seahawks trading for Quenton Nelson this season.
Oh, I wrote this in May, by the way.

In '23, Seahawks GM John Schneider traded for Leonard Williams on Oct 30
In '24, he traded for Ernest Jones
In '25, the RD2 from DK trade was used to move up for Nick Emmanwori + Seahawks made deadline trade for Rashid Shaheed
Now, a trade for Q
Schneider = all gas, no brakes

just need to watch a couple clips of Nelson blocking on outside zone to see why the Seahawks wanted him
only Chicago and Atlanta have run outside zone more this season
Trade: Colts have agreed to send eight-time Pro-Bowl guard Quenton Nelson to the Seattle Seahawks, per me and @rapsheet. Nelson is on an expiring contract and the Colts are opting to get back draft capital now before they could lose him in free agency.
But an all-time Colt now moves on to the Seahawks.

I LOVE this move for SEA. They should live in 13 personnel, let this OL get after it in the run game and create 1-1 for JSN in passing game.

Seattle had three 3rd round picks in the 2027 draft. This feels like a huge bargain.
Trade! The Colts are sending eight-time Pro Bowl guard Quenton Nelson to the Seahawks for a 2027 third-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick, sources tell @ringer @netflixsports.
The Chiefs offensive success rate in Weeks 1-6:
49.8% (2nd best)
The Chiefs offensive success rate in Week 7 versus the Seahawks:
36.7% (3rd worst)
Totally forgot there was a football game on tonight. Let me guess, even the Eagles offense is able to move the ball on this atrocious Dallas defense, and the Cowboys offense is making it look way harder than it needs to be but their skill position talent is makes up for it?

This is painful, as a #Texans fan, watching this Seahawks defense excel. Last season, the Texans and Seahawks were neck and neck for best defense in the sport. This season, they are….. not.

Seahawks have only lost 6 games since beginning of 2025. 21-6 record, including playoffs.
Combined margin of loss in 6 losses?
17 points 🤯
2025
🔸 W1: Lost 17-13 to SF
🔸 W5: Lost 38-35 to TB
🔸 W11: Lost 21-19 to LAR
2026
🔸 W3: Lost 33-31 to WSH
🔸 W5: Lost 32-29 to SF
🔸 W6: Lost 17-14 to DEN in OT
Margin of loss tells you a lot about a team.
➡️ SEA is incredibly consistent in their high level of play. Maximum they have lost by is 4 points. Average is under a FG.
Even in their very rare “off-weeks” with more mistakes & sometimes many (INTs, etc), they come remarkably close to fully being able to absorb & overcome them.
They are a ridiculously tough out.
Opponents must bring their A+ game, starting strong, playing cleaner & creating and/or capitalizing on every mistake to beat them.
➡️ 5 out of SEA’s 6 losses came when the opposing team was both leading at the half & won the turnover battle.
2nd halves were either reciprocal scoring drives with opponents maintaining a small lead or see-sawing heavyweight bouts with the lead going back & forth down to the wire.
In only 1 loss did SEA both lead at halftime (by 3 points) & have same number of turnovers as their opponent (2). That was W1 2025 vs SF
🚨 Teams down by more than a FG at halftime have not beaten SEA in the last two seasons.
Second half down by a TD+ comebacks don’t exist in their world.
⚠️ Teams who lose the turnover battle haven’t beaten them either.

Remember the Sean McVay Screaming Into His Playsheet image of last year? Seahawks D did that to one of the best offensive minds in football.
Today? JSN had one of the top defensive minds Steve Spagnuolo in an absolute TORTURE CHAMBER.

Wanna note again that the Seahawks had one of the most dominant defensive performances in recent memory and zero helmet to helmet hits. You can be a fast and physical defense and use proper technique. It’s almost as if the niners are dirty or poorly coached.
Seahawks odds to win the division, given a win in every non-49ers/Rams game remaining.
Sweep the remaining divisional games and their odds are 61%, pending the non-divisional games.
Highlights the importance of those final 3 NFC West matchups.
Good news is that Josh Jones is a viable backup. Not having Cross will suck, but it's not going to doom them. No need to rush Cross back but gosh I sure hope he's not limited in physical ability upon returning to the lineup.
#Seahawks OT Charles Cross, who suffered an ankle injury on Sunday, has a high-ankle sprain and will miss time, the MRI revealed.
The hope is he’s back in 1-2 weeks, but it depends on how rehab goes.
