Episodes
In this episode Lofa and Brett recap the 2024 Seahawks draft. We need monsters in the trenches, and this year we got them!! It was a foundation building draft and the Hawks were clearly happy with their special teams. Plus, where was Lofa on his draft day, and could he have ever played at Safety? Go Hawks!!
Lofa Tatupu and New York Daily News reporter Antwan Staley discuss Russell Wilson's potential move to the Steelers and whether it would be a good fit. Lofa shares his opinion on why he believes Russ still has a lot to offer, and they also discuss recent roster changes as well as Bobby Wagner's departure.
The big game started slowly but ended up going into OT (and almost double OT!) We are equal parts happy for Andy Ried and sad for Kyle Shanahan. But, wait, why didn't they just go for it in regulation with 6 seconds left? Plus other hi lights, Ben loves Dunkin', trick play breakdowns and Katie loved Usher. Thank you to each of you for listening and thank you for all of your support. A big thanks also to our sponsors for a great sea...
On this week's episode don't call him a "Super Bowl Participant" call him an "NFC Champ". Lofa and Brett reminisce about their favorite Super Bowl memories and that time Tom Brady stole Lofa's power. They eventually get to the game this weekend and our new head coach Mike McDonald, but Brett would rather talk about the time the ball went over Payton's head. Go Hawks!!
Well, we finally know who's playing in the Big Game. Were the Ravens robbed? What happened to the Lions? Is Travis Kelce the best Tight End of all time? The Niners are going to have to play a perfect defensive game in order to win, and Patrick Mahomes is going to keep that chin strap loose! Really, we're just rooting for mama Donna at this point! Go Hawks!
Cliff Avril joins the pod in his first interview since the Hawks let go of Coach Pete. What does he think about the decision? Where should we go from here? And what does this team need to do to make deep playoff runs? Plus, what's Dan Campbell really like? Who will be the League MVP and whos going to the Super Bowl? Go Hawks!!
Last week was the worst week in Seattle, and the best week in Michigan. The Huskies hired a coach, but Brett hates his visor. Lofa calls for Dan Quinn to be our new coach, and can Jamal Adams stay healthy next season? Can a good coach win anywhere?? We look around the league at the rest of the matchups this weekend and doesn't MaHomes look silly in his helmet!? Go Hawks!!
Lofa and Brett discuss the greatest NFL coach on the available job market. Where will his statue be? How did Pete coach differently in College vs the pros? Will the Hawks get new uniforms? What is your favorite Pete-ism? And where should the Seahawks be looking to hire next? He was always the biggest cheerleader on the sidelines, and he taught us to always compete. Thank you Pete. Go Hawks!!
The Hawks won the game, but we're out of the playoffs hunt, and Lofa's mad at the Bears! We recap the season which actually had some good wins but overall will be remembered with mostly missed opportunities. Plus, is Pete sticking around? What do we actually want? And finally, the Huskies season comes down to what happens tonight. Go Dawgs! Go Hawks!!
The Seahawks had a tough loss yesterday but we're not out of the playoffs yet. The refs are as inconsistent as our defense. Pickens had the play of the game! And Lofa gives his opinion about the situation with number 3 in Denver. Go Hawks!
The Seahawks played the Titans last night. Join us for a pre-recorded Christmas special. We don't know the outcome of the game, but we do know the definition of the word Yuletide! Plus, what is on your Seahawks Christmas list and what the heck is a whipped cream shot?? Go Hawks!!
Lofa and Brett are joined by host of Bleav in Titans - David Boclair. This Sunday is a must-win game for the Hawks and David seems convinced that the Seahawks will have an easy Christmas Eve game but we're not so sure. They've got an offensive line that could use some work, we've got Tyler Locket (doing Tyler Locket things?) and DK... though we're not sure who's going to play quarterback. Plus a deep dive on Derek Henry and what wo...
Monday night's win against the Eagles was a total team effort. Our backup Drew proved he could be trusted in clutch moments. DK had a DAY! and just look what happens when we stick to the run (just how Pete likes it). Plus, a look around the league. Detroit is looking good, and who's gonna stop the Niners!? Go Hawks!!
Host of Bleav in Eagles, Mike Gill joins Lofa and Brett to preview the upcoming Monday Night game against the Eagles. They've lost 7 straight games to the Hawks, and they've got a bunch of new players, which makes us feel good but we're careful to not get too confident. How will the defense change depending on who's playing QB? The match up of Carter and Spoonman has us excited! Plus, Lofa shares some memories from Philly. Go Hawks...
On this episode of the Take 12 Podcast we talk Hiesman Trophy snubs, last Sunday's valiant effort from our back up quarterback, and why we can't stop the Niners offense - no one can. Plus, has Lofa ever Suplexed a dude? Go Hawks!
Nicholas Lalonde Bellore returns to the show to preview the upcoming Niners/Seahawks matchup. What is the mood in the building? What are the Hawks going to do differently this time? Would Lofa challenges Nick to run the 40 and will Nick get some carries on Sunday? We picked him up on fantasy, we hope so! Plus, how many 9 year olds would it take to take down an NFL player? Go Hawks!!
Lofa and Brett confirm, Geno had his best game against the Cowboys, but we still lost. We (kinda) complain about the refs. We really complain about field goals. Plus, some good news - bad news. and Lofa tells us where HE would rank the remaining college teams. Go Hawks!!
Lofa and Brett have to talk about the difficult Thanksgiving game. Brett's got beef Tommy Devito and his stolen celly. Plus, the Huskies are undefeated! Our Seahawks might stink, but we're still finding the bright spots. Go Hawks!
In this previously recorded episode, the entire Take 12 Family shares football memories and predicts the upcoming 49ers game. Baste the bird with us, give thanks, and GO HAWKS!
We're disappointed after Sunday's match up, but mostly just dealing with rough audio as we are recording away from the studio. Our Hawks lost K9 and Geno and tried to get too tricky. Do the Seahawks really get more penalty calls than other teams? Charbonnet was the bright spot and we're trying not to think about Jason Myers. Plus, a quick look at the upcoming 49ers game. Go Hawks!!
