⏰ Trade deadline passed
Looks like no trades for Seattle today.
They made the deal for Quenton Nelson, which may be the best long-term value add of any trades this season, especially when considering the cost.
Their expectations on return were never realistic.
The Colts won’t trade star RB Jonathan Taylor by today’s deadline, sources tell @ringer @netflixsports.
Multiple teams offered a second-round pick and more for Taylor. But the Colts wanted a blockbuster offer to even consider it. Instead, Taylor stays in Indy.

Seahawks will face rookie Fernando Mendoza in his first start Sunday.
He is a very different player than cousins, especially in terms of mobility. But the Seahawks defense is a rough first opponent for a rookie.

It's Trade Day in the NFL! @Hasselbeck joins us for his weekly visit a little later (eta 10AM PT) to discuss what the Seahawks and their rivals may do, as well as get his take on the QB situation, and special topic I've been wanting to talk to Matt about.
See you there!
Per @NextGenStats Seahawks Zach Charbonnet faced eight or more defenders in the box on 37.5% of his carries versus Arizona but still recorded 19 rush yards over expected across 16 attempts.
Mike Macdonald’s explanation of defensive playcalling here was interesting.
Aden Durde said last week that analytics has made it easier to self-scout and that tendencies are going away to some extent. Do you feel that way, and has that affected the way you approach a game plan in terms of when you call certain plays?
"Analytics is such a broad area. You're looking at run/pass numbers and effectiveness numbers on one end of the spectrum, and then how teams are trying to attack you. There's no magic formula.""
Least surprising news ever that the Vikings will make a push for a starter.
Cousins and Daniel Jones are the report here, but neither is good enough to give them a true SB chance.
They should push for Stafford. Rams should sell.
Connor O'Toole played despite not practicing all week. What did you see from him?
"Tip of the cap to Connor [O'Toole], he's a tough guy, great teammate. Thought he went in and executed well, really, in both phases."
Mike Macdonald on Connor O'Toole
"I'd like to see our run game be more effective in some of these early down type of situations."
Macdonald also said he expects it to vastly improve after a full week of reps.
"The margins in our world are very small. I think it's very important right now to step our foot on the gas."

You've had a chance to see more of Jalen Milroe. Do you feel a difference in his readiness with more reps?
"Drew's earned that opportunity."
Can you explain the penalty on Jalen Sundell and why they spotted the ball where they did?
"The reason it went back is because of offsetting penalty. And then the personal foul trumps the five yard play."
Macdonald added that they had an opportunity to really go ahead in the game, but it was a bummer.

How did you feel about the game Drew Lock played against Arizona?
"Drew [Lock] played really well. Like we didn't throw for a million yards, but I thought he was efficient."
