Ah what could have been. If that final play never happens in the House of Horrors and Lynch runs it in, who knows. Maybe this guy would have been MVP of Super Bowl 49. Instead? Who knows where he is now.

After that game I thought he’d become a starter the following year. Instead he seemingly just fizzled. Too bad.

We all know that #12 is retired for the fans. However, the only player to wear this number for the Seahawks was Sam Adkins -

He used to be one of the Seahawks pre game and post game on air co hosts. I always liked his personality and voice on air. Very likable guy.

We're just ten days away from real Seahawks football and eight days from the first Blue Friday of the 2023 season.

The player currently using Seahawks uniform number 10 is Uchenna Nwosu, as seen in @hawkfan68's excellent post above. It is meant as a very high compliment to Nwosu when I say I have no problem with him using the uniform number of my first childhood sports hero, Jim Zorn.

One of the greatest sports-fan moments of my life was getting to tell Zorn to his face after the Seahawks game in Foxborough in 1984 that I had had his autographed picture framed on my wall in Kennebunk, Maine for years. Here it is, in the same frame I bought for it with allowance money in the 1970s. And now you know my real first name.

Great post!

While we are on the subject of Zorn, I always got a kick out of his milk commercial with Largent, lol...

(Darn it I can't find it on YT).

Now our countdown is in the single-digit numbers. Nine days until we can watch real Seahawks football again, and ONE WEEK until the first Blue Friday of the season.

Seahawks uniform number 9 is currently being used by running back Kenneth Walker III, "K-9."
Since I'm a big nerd who was a kid in the '70s and an adolescent in the '80s, I'll post this pic:
1693579149068

There are two important players from Seahawks history we can mention here today.
The first one is Norm Johnson, the Seahawks' place kicker from '82 to '90.
1693579331375

But if I had to choose just one Seahawks #9, it would be one of the greatest passers the NFL has ever known, and one of the greatest NFL players ever to come from Canada. It's only because of him that I know how the name of the Canadian city of Regina is pronounced. After ten years in the NFL, this guy's career passer rating was 116.7, his ANY/A was an otherworldly 13.5, and he never threw a single interception, nor was he ever sacked.
Additionally, this #9 threw a key TD pass that helped the Seahawks come back to win the NFC Championship Game after having fallen way behind because the other guy throwing passes for the Seahawks that day was sacked five times, fumbled once (Seahawks recovered), and threw four interceptions.
It's also worth mentioning this #9's main outstanding quality, shown on that same key play in the NFCCG: he has the greatest "throwing face" the world has ever seen, and the pic below is of exactly that.

This #9 was pretty good at punting too.

Ladies and gentlemen, Jon Ryan.
