Interesting. Quenton Nelson wanted to be traded to a contender and chose Seattle, which offered less draft compensation than other teams who were interested. Good on the Colts organization for doing right by him.

I'm still buzzing. Literally.
Of all the Seahawks trades in history, this one has a chance to be at the very top of the list.
To get a HOF player in his prime at a position of need, without mortgaging the entire farm, is something I'm still trying to wrap my head around.
I try not to live in a fantasy football mentality world, so I really didn't think this could or would happen. It's surreal that Quenton Nelson is a Seahawk.
And knowing John, and that organization, and Mike, and what's they've built - my gut tells me they'll get him signed.
This is an incredible move.
I can't wait to see what this offense looks like with Charbonnet and Price behind that OL.

Got a lot of Seahawks fans asking me today: "Is Nelson still playing really well this year?"
BREAKING: The #Colts are trading 8× Pro Bowl G Quenton Nelson to the Seattle Seahawks, per @AdamSchefter.
Nelson, one of the best guards in football, joins a 4-3 #Seahawks team in a major trade.

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.

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.
Seahawk Nerd retweeted
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.
Seahawk Nerd retweeted
Nick Emmanwori said the Seahawks' defense "put on a clinic" tonight, and that they were motivated to extend their streak of not allowing a 100-yard rusher.
That's now at 36 consecutive games after they held Ken Walker III to 36 yards on 14 attempts.
Seahawk Nerd retweeted
Honestly surprised he wasn't let go this morning.
The bar was "Keep your season interesting by beating the blatantly tanking, 0-5 Dolphins in your own stadium to climb to 3-4" and they couldn't do it.
Aaron Glenn will be coaching in his 25th game this week and it has been clear the entire time that he's just not HC material.

Per ESPN Research, the Seahawks are the first team since the 1984 Browns to hold their first seven opponents under 180 passing yards. They're allowing a league-low 3.99 yards per play, which is the fewest through seven games by any team since the 2019 Patriots (3.96).

I’m not a fan of setting up the third and managable game with this offense.
They need to throw on early downs to be to make best use of their personnel.
Seahawk Nerd retweeted
The Seahawks would be 6-0 if they had just been doing the Barnyard every opportunity (joking but sort of not)
