Introducing HB Stats!

In this episode of Hawk Blogger Mornings, host Brian Nemhauser introduces 'HB Stats,' a new data analytics project he's developed to track team and player trends for the Seattle Seahawks and other NFL teams. Drawing from his tech background, Nemhauser shares how HB Stats aggregates data from multiple sources to visualize performance changes over time—such as the Seahawks' improved defense and run game in their final seven games of the 2025 season, despite a decline in passing metrics. He demonstrates real-time analysis of player performance, including Sam Darnold’s turnover-worthy play rate versus big-time throw rate, and highlights improvements in players like Gray Zabel and Anthony Bradford. The episode also features a live mock draft where Nemhauser trades back from pick 32 to 54, selecting edge rushers Gabe Ackes and Dennis Sutton, running back Devin Moore, offensive lineman Bo Stevens, and wide receiver Kendrick Law. He discusses the importance of data-driven insights in sports, the value of aligning analytics with scouting, and shares updates on Seahawks offseason moves, including Jimmy Doherty’s coaching hire and John Schneider’s comments on Hard Knocks. The episode concludes with a promotional segment for PrizePix, encouraging listeners to use promo code HMA for a $50 bonus on their first wager.
