We’re right down to the ultimate 4 groups left within the 2024 NFL Playoffs, and three of these groups have been Seattle Seahawks opponents! Seattle beat the Detroit Lions again in Week 2 in an extra time thriller, and likewise performed the San Francisco 49ers twice and the Baltimore Ravens as soon as. Let’s not get to what occurred in these different three video games.
It’s commonplace for an eradicated staff/staff not concerned within the postseason to search for acquainted faces and former gamers on groups nonetheless within the playoffs. For the Seahawks, a bunch of former gamers simply bought bounced over the weekend, together with Poona Ford on the Buffalo Payments, Ryan Neal and David Moore on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, George Fant on the Houston Texans, and an honorary point out to 2022 seventh-round decide Bo Melton of the Inexperienced Bay Packers, who by no means appeared in an everyday season sport for the Seahawks.
What does that depart us with? Effectively, not a complete lot.
Utilizing the strict commonplace of “should have performed a minimum of one common season snap with the Seahawks” as my guideline, there aren’t any ex-Seahawks on the Detroit Lions (since Bruce Irvin was launched), San Francisco 49ers, or Kansas Metropolis Chiefs. That leaves us with the Baltimore Ravens as the one staff with any Seahawks inclusion!
Jadeveon Clowney was Seattle’s massive acquisition earlier than the 2019 common season started. The veteran pass-rusher was on an expiring deal and was dealt from the Houston Texans to the Seahawks. Clowney had a pick-6 and a fumble return landing to associate with his three sacks, however he didn’t get re-signed. After leaving the Cleveland Browns beneath, shall we embrace, sad circumstances, Clowney has managed a career-best 9.5 sack season taking part in for the elite Baltimore protection.
Tyler Ott was the Seahawks’ long-snapper from the top of the 2016 season by way of the early a part of 2022 earlier than ending up on IR. He even made the Professional Bowl in 2020! Ott was signed by the Ravens to interchange Nick Moore, who tore his Achilles simply previous to preseason.
Large receiver Laquon Treadwell was an emergency signing in 2022 resulting from accidents, and he’s hanging out on the Ravens’ apply squad.
That’s it. Critically.
San Francisco does have defensive lineman T.Y. McGill on the apply squad, however he by no means appeared in an everyday season sport when he was with Seattle in 2015. The 49ers teaching employees does, nonetheless, embrace former Seahawks defensive finish Darryl Tapp and particular groups coordinator Brian Schneider. Longtime members of Discipline Gulls will keep in mind our freakout when the Seahawks traded Tapp to the Philadelphia Eagles for Chris Clemons.
Anyway, what I’m saying right here is {that a} Ravens vs. Lions Tremendous Bowl is essentially the most desired consequence.
