Seahawks Offensive and Defense Players of the Game

It really wasn't hard to figure who the 

offensive and defensive players were 

in the win against the Kansas City Chiefs 

on Sunday. 

Although Sam Darnold played a good 

game better than any since came back

after missing with injury Jaxon Smith-Njigba 

was the easy winner.  Jaxon had nine catches 

for 150 yards and a touchdown. Another

catch near the end of the first half was setup

to make another touchdown if it hadn't been 

an interception by Darnold that wasn't all his 

fault. 

Jaxon has 58 catches in seven games for

867 yards and eight touchdowns. So he 

continues to marvel us.

On the defensive side although the Seahawks 

had fantastic play the defensive player of the

game was Nick Emmanwori. Though listed

as a safety he plays all over the field. He has

played linebacker as well as defensive end.

He had four tackles however more to his game.

He made a crucial play against KC quarterback 

Patrick Mahomes. 

Someone else to be mentioned is edge rusher

Derick Hall who had the Seahawks only sack

with a forced fumble. The only player in the

game for that. 

Next Monday night against the Bears we

hope to see more of Smith-Njigba, Emmanwori 

and Hall as well as everyone else. Go Hawks

Seahawks Defense Wins Sunday Night

When you see the look on the face of 

quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes 

on Sunday night we know who came to 

play.  

Final Seahawks 20 Chiefs 3

The Seahawks scored first in the second

quarter on a field goal by Myers at 8:22.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba had a great catch

at 1:44 for a touchdown. He had another

catch that looked like would setup another 

touchdown. The trouble was Sam Darnold 

threw an interception the only one in

the game. It wasn't all his fault as two 

Seahawks receivers ran into each other.

Myers kicked another field goal at 8:09

in the third quarter.  The Chiefs kicked a

field goal at 1:42 in the third as well.

The score was 13-3 at the time 

The 4th quarter both defences were working.

Getting late into the 4th quarter the Chiefs

needed to make another stop and get the

ball back however Seahawks Emanuel Wilson 

was able to break through with the help

of the offensive  line to score on a 21 yard run.

The story going into the game was former

Seahawks running back Ken Walker who

was leading the NFL in rushing yards. The

Seahawks defense was able to shut him

down with 36 yards on 14 carries. That tells

it all. 

The Chiefs were not the only team that isn't 

undefeated any longer. Early on the Atlanta 

Falcons beat the San Francisco. 

Next week on Monday night the Seahawks 

play the Chicago Bears. Stay tuned. Go Hawks.

Washington Huskies Men's Basketball Lose To Cougar's

The Washington State Cougars  beat the Huskies

Sunday afternoon in the road 84-80.

Good for the Cougars as they start the preseason 

in good fashion as the Huskies Lose their second

exhibition game. The positive they can only get

better.  Unfortunately I wasn't able to get the

Cougars stats. 

The Huskies led at half time by one so the

Cougars got five more in the second half.

Next week they open both the regular season.

The Huskies did sit guard Ryan Bradley under 

concussion protocol. Mady Traore  a big

forward or center missed the game for

his knees. Hopefully both will open the

season against Colgate.

Former Cougar Lejuan Watts led the Huskies 

with 28 points. Lethan Sommerville who spent 

coming off the bench now starting at big forward 

had 19 points and 4 rebounds.  Nikola Dzepina

an international player who came to Washington 

in January had a good game scoring 16 points 

and 12 rebounds. The Huskies are hoping he is

the player taking Hannes Steinbach spot who

went to the NBA as a lottery pick after one

season.

Wesley Yates III didn't play well while being the

only returning starter from last season had only

four points. Find out next week in their season 

opener. Go Dawgs.

Sunday Night football the Chiefs and Seahawks 

are in the second quarter leading 3-0.  Neither

team scored in the first quarter.  It is at the two minute warning. The Seahawks missed an opportunity to score a touchdown in their last possession. It looked like they had a touchdown but the runner stepped out of bounds and couldn't convert  in the red zone. They got the ball back on an

interception. We see if they score on this possession  or not. We will stay here. Regardless 

the second half should be exciting.  Jaxon Smith-Njigba looks like he made a a touchdown with his foot place on the goal line. The referees are looking

at it. They confirmed it a touchdown. Score 10-0.

It is 1:44 left in the first half so see if the Chiefs 

can score or not.et you know when the game is

over. Go Hawks. 

Boise State Wins As expected

The Boise State beat the WSU Cougars 

as expected. The final score was higher

than the game was for three quarters.

Final Broncos 31 Cougars 10

The game was tied at the end of the 

 third quarter before the Broncos scored

three touchdowns in the 4th.  The last two

touchdowns were by running back Dylan 

Riley who is very fast. His first touchdown 

he ran for 33 yards. After getting the ball

back ran for 72 yards. Besides the Broncos

offense coming alive the defense got them

in place to do so.

The trouble with Cougars the offense once

again quarterback Owen Eshleman. He ran

the ball mostly. The Cougars need to get 

their running backs the ball. It is much like

the Huskies with Desmond Williams Jr. 

running the show so to speak.

The Cougars now have to see to salve this

season and look toward next year.

The Cougars go to San Diego State next

Saturday. This could be a win for them.

Stay tuned. Go Cougs.

Tomorrow the Cougars men's basketball 

team play in Seattle against the Washington 

Huskies. See how the two teams do in an exhibition game. Not part of a regular season schedule.

Let you know how it goes for them both.

Injury Report Heading into Chief and Seahawks Game

The Kansas City Chiefs heading into Sunday

night football in Seattle have two key injuries 

Where the players miss out. Jaylen Moore

offensive lineman will be out with a concussion.

Rashee Rice wide receiver will miss the game

with a hamstring injury.

On the Seahawks side although he was added

this week to the active roster running back 

Zach Charbonnet will be sitting out on his

knee injury. It looks kike we will have to 

wait to see him play so Emanuel Wilson 

will still be the primary running back.

Linebacker Drake Thomas who was having a 

very good season will miss with an injury 

to his ankle. Hopefully we will see them 

in the next game against the Chicago Bears 

on Monday night football.

I find it interesting and at the same time one

of the teams who play on Sunday night 

football play on Monday night the following 

week. It certainly gives them natural exposure 

and in the case of the Seahawks their last 

game was Thursday night football. This

gives them good time to be ready for the

Chiefs and losing two in a row the opportunity 

to bounce back. Go Hawks.

The World Series About To Start

The World Series is about to begin as the

Tampa Bay Rays play the Brewers in

in Milwaukee. 

In Seattle the Mariners will be looking at

the players are on both teams.   The 

starting first baseman for the Brewers 

Jake Bauer played for the Mariners in

72 games in 2022 after starting the year

in Cleveland. He batted only .220 with 

two home runs with the Mariners. He 

didn't  do that well with the Guardians.

Bauer is in his third season with the

Brewers.  His stats weren't much better 

than his time in Seattle until this year.

He finally became a major league hitter.

He batted .266 with 26 home runs and 

86 rbis. A career year for sure. His best 

years prior 12 home runs was the highest

in three different seasons. So can't really 

blame the Mariners on this one. He is the

only Brewers player to play for the Mariners.

The only other one in their dugout is hitting 

coach is Daniel Vogelbach who played for

the Mariners. 

The Rays have former Mariners third baseman

on their  Word Series team. He played third

base for the Mariners for some of last season 

It ended when the Mariners traded for Eugenio Suarez at the trading deadline.  He was part of

the three team trade when the Mariners acquired 

infielder Brendan Donovan in last off-season 

from the Cardinals.

I am sure how the Mariners defense was at

third this season I am sure . Mariners fans

wish the Mariners had traded someone else

besides Williamson. At this point he doesn't 

have the power most third baseman do. It

doesn't he won't in a few seasons.  The thing

is the Rays have another third baseman who

is pretty good including hitting home runs.

Williamson platooned this season against

lefties mostly at second base. He is in the

lineup in game one for his defense.

Randy Arozarena played for the Rays before 

coming to Seattle. He will be rooting for them.

Although a free agent for the Mariners likely 

he won't return to the Rays since they won't 

have the money to pay him. The odds he won't 

be back with the Mariners though he has the 

best season of anyone.  

Enjoy the World Series everyone. 

Preview Kansas City Chiefs at Seattle Seahawks

This coming Sunday the Kansas City Chiefs 

are undefeated take on the. Seahawks in

Seattle. Every team would want to beat the Seahawks since they are defending Super 

Bowl Champions.

Added to it all Ken Walker III was the Super 

Bowl MVP with the Seahawks last year and 

signed with the Chiefs. The Seahawks were 

not willing toWalker the amount money to 

keep him. 

Walker on top of it leading the NFL in rushing. 

Had the Seahawks keptWalker he wouldn't be playing as muchhe in Kansas City either. Walker 

is playing and carrying the ball 75 percentbof 

the time. The question though willhe be able to 

keep it up since with theChiefs since with the Seahawks he wasinjured some of the time. It 

isn't just get this season but longer we will 

season.

Walker is averaging 133 yards a game  this 

season so continue this he will have 2261 

yards.  Last year he ran for 1050 yards. The Seahawks were having him carry the ball about 

half time.  The Chiefs in all are running  159.8 

yards a game.  He has six touchdowns running

the  ball and  eight altogether.

In the passing game Patrick Mahomes  is throwing for 254.2 on the season  which is 9th in the NFL.   He has touchdowns and 3 interceptions. Tight 

end Travis Kelce is second with 20 catches while leading in yardage at 299 with two touch- downs. Wide receiver Xavier Worthy is top in catches with 21 however third in yardage. Tyquan  Thornton is second  in yardage and tied with Kelce 

in tds. Also is 4th with catches so he is the Chiefs deep threat.

The Seahawks are 2.5 point favorites at home. 

They want to end their two game losing streak 

and stop Walker  as well. Walker and the Chiefs want  time stay undefeated. 

News came out on Thursday that Zach Charbonnet 

has been activated to the Seahawks roster. How

much we will see him play on Sunday we will see.

Go Hawks.
