Kam Chancellor News

Four safeties from the NFC earned Pro Bowl honors last season. All four played in the NFC West: Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor from Seattle, Dashon Goldson from San Francisco, and Adrian Wilson from Arizona.

Stokes essentially replaces Dennis Hickey, who was promoted last year to director of player personnel overseeing both pro and college scouting departments.

Dave Krieg, Jacob Green, Cortez Kennedy and Curt Warner are all in the Ring of Honor.

Jaye Howard, one of the team's fourth-round draft choices, became a more-productive player at Florida last season and credits former Seahawks coach Dan Quinn for improving his pass-rushing technique.

The quarterback derby in Seattle was initially pitched as a competition between last year's Seahawks starter, Tarvaris Jackson , and free-agent addition, Matt Flynn .

The NFL players union claimed Wednesday the league imposed a secret salary cap during the uncapped 2010 season that cost the players at least $1 billion.

Bears wide receiver Johnny Knox has the ball stripped from his hands after a pass reception by Seattle Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor Dec.

During an appearance on PFT Live, Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider told Mike Florio that HBO and NFL Films had approached the team to gauge their interest in "Hard Knocks", but the team declined .

We've been talking about the 4-3 Under/Over and propensities for the 3-4 , the Defensive Front Seven , and modern hybrid fronts - a Beekers must-read from a few months back - and just in general, player types and schemes to watch for on the Seahawks defense in 2012 a lot recently, so I thought I'd share a few more notes on the subject.

A couple days ago I wrote about how John Schneider was making a name for himself around the league for being quite adept at finding tremendous talent in the late rounds of the draft.

It's not that nobody wants to watch. No NFL team wants to put itself under the searing gaze of dozens of all-access HD cameras, nor have their uncensored locker-room words live forever.

That headline felt a bit weird to write, since no one is thinking that Kam Chancellor is in need of replacement, but the Seahawks have huge expectations for 6th round pick Winston Guy.

Sweezy on the move The Seahawks saw enough in J.R. Sweezy that they sent offensive line coach Tom Cable to North Carolina State to determine whether the defensive tackle has what it takes to play guard at the next level.

Despite having the Pro Bowl tandem of Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor, the Seahawks selected Winston Guy in the sixth round of the NFL Draft to fill the important third safety spot in their big nickel.
