So before going into depth about the individual picks of the 2017 draft [Part 2], I will be looking at the overall Draft Class and giving the ‘Hawks my Draft grade. Also, out of vanity reasons, I will look back at my Draft Preview for Seattle [Part 3] and look at how well or not well … Continue reading
2017 Draft: Round 1
So I want to have a quick look at the first round. The main thing for me is looking at how much teams have improved to be competitive for next season. For me there are two absolute standouts: Browns Garett, Peppers and Njoku. Not only did they pick up two great guys on Defence but then they also … Continue reading
Seahawks Draft Preview 2017
It is almost draft day. Less than 12 hours until one of the most exciting times of the year starts, with regards to suspense at least. In this post we will be looking at what changes the Seahawks need to make on both sides of the ball, as well as who I believe they will … Continue reading
2016-2017 Seahawks Position Review OL
When most people think of the Seahawks Offensive line in 2016, they think: weak. Poor blocking for the run. Poor protection of the QB. Lack of experience at the individual position. Lack of experience in the NFL. Lack of experience playing American Football. The starting Centre was having his first season in that position (his third … Continue reading
2016-2017 Position Review Seahawks RB
Ok, so I think the less said about RB group, or the running game as a whole, the better. The Seahawks had a group without any established power-backs going into the season, which meant that they were moving onto a slightly different style than under the very successful Beastmode-era. Let’s look at the RB, incl. … Continue reading

Ingredients/Preperation tagliatelle boil until al dente. once done: drain and put in a pan with plenty of oil… garlic …crush and add to the … Continue reading
pici aglio, olio i peperoncino (re-done)
This is such a quick and simple dish (you can also make it with spaghetti to make it even faster) and great comfort food. The traditional dish is simply garlic, peperoncino, oil and maybe some greens like parsley or rocket. As you can see I substituted some of these to try something new. Ingredients … Continue reading
2016/2017 Position Review Seahawks TE
Besides all the troubles in the Offence and Defence, 2016 had a big revival. Jimmy Graham. He came back from an injury some people never come back from, and was firing on all cylinders. Arguably still underused, but when he was thrown the ball he was terrorising defences. Ask the Bills, Jets or Eagles. To be … Continue reading
Pickled Ginger/ Gari
My love for gari comes from sushi. It’s where I first tried it and I loved it in between the separate pieces to cleanse my mouth and for the clean sharp taste it brought with it. For a long time though, I never thought about how easy it was to make it myself (see below). … Continue reading
Sage
Sage is a special one for me. Growing up in the UK we had a nice garden which we kept the way I think any garden should be: a bit wild and unkept, meaning that things grew at a great rate and there were always insects buzzing around. One of the great things we had was a … Continue reading
