Why isn't AJ Barner getting the short-yardage carries?
Barner has 12 career carries for 17 yards, a number that looks empty by itself. Every one of them came on a direct snap on 3rd or 4th and 1. He's converted 11 of 12, with two touchdowns. Seattle's running backs haven't had the same luck there: Emanuel Wilson is 0 for 3 on 3rd- and 4th-and-1 runs this season.
Short-yardage carries: Barner vs. Wilson

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Barner, career | 12 | 17 | 11 | 2 |
| Wilson, 2026 | 3 | −1 | 0 | 0 |

Follow @hawkblogger →Shopping for Seahawks gear is kind of annoying. I always have to dig for what I want. So I built something. This page actually knows which players are new (rookies, free agents, etc.). It knows which players are playing well (tied directly into performance data). It makes it easy to shop by player across categories. I think it surfaces some cool stuff. Hope it helps! Pass it around please.
An owner listening to fans and taking steps to enhance their experience within days. Not everything will work like this, but it's a refreshing change of pace.
Make sure you get your tickets to the live preview episode @grantcohn and I will be doing at Lowlander Brewing before this game!
From the Tuesday edition of HB Daily: The Seahawks special teams is still among the best in the NFL overall through three weeks, BUT... the big change is in kickoff coverage. Seattle has gone from 1st to 23rd in that area, and are allowing an average of 7 more yards per return.
I want to thank Dodo Coffee and @CooperKupp for matching our donation to the Spokane Fire Department to help with Spokane fire relief.

Go to and use code HAWKBLOGGER12 to get 12% off you coffee and merch purchase, and if you buy before Sunday, you might get a Cooper Kupp signed football included in your order!
There are only 6 teams who are above league average in explosive play rate on offense and explosive play rate allowed on defense. Three of those teams live in the NFC West. Also...the NY Jets...
We got more film breakdown from @Hasselbeck and an acronym to monitor for QBs, as well as his reaction to some Mike Macdonald sound. This was fun, as always.
