Matt Calkins: This year’s Seahawks team has been unusually quiet
UPDATED: Fri., Aug. 16, 2019, 7:48 p.m.
This year’s subject of the HBO series “Hard Knocks” is the silver and black, and AB is reality-show gold. He has the potential to lead the sports headlines any time he opens his mouth, or really, anytime he leaves his house.

Seahawks may turn to committee approach at nickel back
Tue., Aug. 13, 2019, 2:30 p.m.
The Seahawks may turn to a corner-by-committee strategy to replace Justin Coleman as their nickel back this season. Coleman signed a four-year deal with the Lions in free agency after serving as Seattle’s slot cornerback for the last two seasons.
