Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/03/1101:42 AM
One thought on Whitehurst vs Hasselbeck for next Saturday, the Rams didn't do too much in the way of confusing blitzes tonight. The Saints will come from anywhere at anytime and all day long. The guy under center has to have the experience and knowledge to see those comming. CBJ doesn't have that experience, Hasselbeck does. However, a decent running attack would help both guys immensely next week.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/03/1102:30 AM
Yah Fumblebeck might have the experience but he is made of glass and at this point I feel like injuries are inevitable for the poor old fella. An added bonus, Whitehurst can run the ball more than 5 yards without blowing out his back or crippling up his hip.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/03/1110:15 AM
theres many problems for the heehawks. half the time those 3 running backs never show at the game. i believe CWH looked the very best last night. he still needs to settle down in the pocket. good to see he's willing to bolt and not break something when taking hits.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/03/1110:34 AM
I still have not bought in to Football Jesus. I think Matty boy needs one more shot at the playoffs. Besides giving us our best chance to win he earned it over the years. We all know he will not likely be back.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/03/1111:02 AM
I think the Hawks can make a game of it. NO is a dome team thats never won a playoff game on the road. They're coming to play outside in one of the hardest places in the NFL to get a win.
I can see the Hawks getting up for a home playoff game and getting a win.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/03/1102:06 PM
I don't think the Hawks could have asked for a better match-up.
NO is historically weak on the road in the playoffs, and they are pretty dinged up right now as well.
I don't think Seattle is fooling anyone with the "which QB will start" thing..........everyone knows Fragile Matt will start. Hopefully nobody stares at him too hard and breaks his hip.
Hank is a closet Hawks fan, in case you didn't already know it.

Like Chuck S. I'm holding me prediction for a couple more day's.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/03/1105:40 PM
Whitehurst did a great job of not losing last night. The fact that he didn't commit any turnovers is likely the reason the Hawks won. He also made just enough great plays to lead the team to a win. All this said, I think Hasselbeck gives them a better chance to win on Saturday, as long as he can stay in the game, of course. The main reason for this thinking is that, as Chris Collinsworth pointed out on a couple of occasions last night, a seasoned veteran QB is generally much better at identifying specific defensive matchups that can be exploited for big plays, which is something the Hawks will likely need a lot of to win on Saturday.
My "X-factor" for the Hawks' chances in the playoffs (no matter how far they might miraculously go) is Russell Okung. Seems to me the Hawks have looked much, much better all year on offense when he has been able to play. He's not polished yet, but he's already the best O-lineman on the team as a rookie. If he can get and stay healthy, I think either quarterback will be much more effective. Hasselbeck has been extremely injury-prone, but I think that's due to the savage beatings he's been taking due to poor pass blocking since the departure of Hutchinson and the retirements of Big Walt and Mack Strong. His whole body is probably more or less mush by now. When he gets good protection and at least some production from the running game (or, when the O-line shows up), Hasselbeck is still capable of putting up great numbers.
It'll be fun to watch. They're a team with nothing to lose and a chip on their shoulders, which can be dangerous. Starting out with a home game doesn't hurt either. If they can somehow get past New Orleans, the next stop would be Chicago, where they have already won once this year....
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/03/1106:31 PM
Another thing I was noticing about CWH is a tendency to get the ball out away from his body. He needs to keep it wrapped up and out of danger, especially when making runs and dropping back into the pocket to throw. I was surprised it didn't result in any turnovers in yesterdays matchup.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/03/1107:26 PM
Charlie holds the ball too long mostly due to his inexperience. He missed a couple of big throws due to being late with the delivery. Overall, he did what the team wanted him to do: Don't turn the ball over.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/04/1106:32 PM
CBJ, He looks right @ the reciever he's gonna throw to the whole time,which is easy to read if your a D-back / Line backer a pump fake and another read / look is what he's lacking.Will our O-line be able to block there D-line is the question.Good luck, SZ
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/05/1104:40 PM
Pierre Thomas has been placed on IR as well. That means our old friend Julius (2YPC) Jones will be the starting RB this weekend.
I think that means we can add the extra CB out there and blitz with Millloy 2 out of 3 downs. It is a big deal for Seattle if Brees doesn't get to rely on play action.
My mom told me that Brees will be tough to beat because he is a "Strong Christian man, with God on his side.". I told her that Matt H is a bible thumper too, and God must hate him.

SpankymyHanky, what you fail to realize with your drivel is that the Hawks have NOTHING to lose.
We get pounded, well that was expected according to all the experts. Not going to happen BTW...
Keep it close throughout and lose, we show that we belonged in the dance.
Shock the world and win, well why not. Home, healthy and played as good as we have all season last week on D...SS is correct, to win we need to be +1 or +2 in the turnover department, get a big play or two on special teams and have the loudest, drunkest fans in the NFL carry us to VICTORY!!!
Hey BTW did the 40whiners get turned down by Harbaugh yet? Bet they hire some chump cause they wont spend the cash to get the quality coach like Paul Allen;)

Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/07/1101:25 PM
Prediction Time:
NOLA 24 Hawks 14.
Position wise the Hawks are better at RB, KR, PR, and P. Notice that their only talent advantage is in special teams. In-game coaching goes to Saints as well, which is where I give the Sainst the final advantage.
I can see the Hawks getting a win with 2 Brees turnovers (24 T.O.s in the last 14 games), and maybe with a big special teams play. I also see the Hawks being able to play a close game if they add a DB in lieu of a D-lineman. That will allow for a safety blitz. NO's good tight end is out, and so the safety blitz seems like a good option.
Hawks have all the intrinsic advantages in this game (Home crowd, nothing to lose, underdog, QBs last ride, etc). Unfortunately the talent gap is too big for all of that to work out.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/07/1108:27 PM
I'm doing plenty of Huzzahas and Hallelujahs based on the fact that we get to play tomorrow at all...
That being said, the Seahawks have nothing to lose, are playing at home in the cold, outside, against a team that got dismantled last week, that has never won an away playoff game, and gave up a shitton of yards to us when we played them in their home stadium...
I'm not saying it's likely that we'll win, but if I were a Saints fan, I'd be worried about it...look what happened to Nebraska last week when they thought they were too good to have to play a .500 team in a crappy bowl game...got their asses handed to 'em.

That performance will cement his future with the Hawks for the next two years. You always draft a QB in later rounds to find that diamond in the rough. Our first pick should be a Guard,corner,Defensive end.

Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/09/1101:02 PM
That run by Lynch reminds me of Larry Czonka the way he used his big arms to knock would be tacklers in the secondary. Larry didn't have breakaway speed like a Mercury Morris. I can also think of other power runners in the NFL like John Riggins, and Earl Campbell. Even Cory Dillon ran with power. Chris Ivory knocked a few Seahawks around in the regular season matchup but he hurt his ankle. Never thought Ivory had much power when he was at WSU as he was always injured.

Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/14/1112:26 PM
I like a few of our match-ups and a few I don't.
I like our D-Ends against the Chicago O-line. I have a feeling that Chicago will go to a screen pass to offset this. I do not like our LBs (do you hear me Curry?) against the screen, but will say the past two weeks, they have played way better.
I don't like our run game against the Chicago LBs. They have a lot of experience, and will fill the holes before the RBs get through them. I think any running yards are going to be hard to get.
I like our receivers against Chicago DBs, but I dont' give them much of an edge. If they double BMW, then I like Stokely in the slot all day.
For Chicago it comes down to QB play. If Cutler hits his hot routes under pressure, and sets up the screen plays correctly. I don't like the Hawks chances.
For Seattle, it comes down to field position and coaching. I think if Seattle can convert 35% of their third down, and keep Hester away from the ball on their punts, this game can stay close throughout.

I wouldn't lose too much sleep over whether or not Mel Kiper likes the Hawks draft picks. While I realize QB is a need here, drafting a guy just to take a QB can set an organization back a few years while they figure out if the kid can make it or not. The Hawks appeared to me to draft safe, conservative picks that should help this team develop on both sides of the ball. It also tells me that Pete and John have a contingency plan for the QB spot. Unfortunately that plan might be Clipboard Jesus.

Flynn, i dont know if thats good either, he had 1 stellar game with an offense 10 times better than ours is, he also will want more money than Whitehurst got, and he got like 7.1 million a year or something like that... and we all saw how that turned out...

Cover up your lack of knowledge anyway you want. Robinson not being as good as Tolbert (in your opinion) does not make him not a legit FB. No body said Lynch or Gore were not legit. You said a guy who made the pro-bowl was not legit. On a side note, Tolbert was not coming here! He has said he would like to go to a team were he has a chance to be used more as a RB than a FB. I also agree you don't watch much football if you would rather have Jacobs back there, for such a big back he tries to avoid more contact than most QBs.

Does Shianco have anything left in the tank? Problem with the heater is he can't drop back and cover very well. That might just use that pick to sign a stud OLB
Luke Kuechtly from Boston College is a flat out takling machine.

Cant belive this game hasnt been brought up Flynn vs tebow 2007 Flynn is a stud we have a decent line still young but if they stay helthy were set. If rice can play this year were awesome at reciver hell we are paying him 42 mill he beter. We need a pass rush again. Heres the top 4 DE leading up to our pick. Quentin Coples, Melvin Ingram, Courtney Upshaw, or Nick Perry. Im thinking it will be nick perry at pick 12. If we can get Matt Kalil OL from USC we need him more.

Experence at the corner spot is huge. We do have a good secondary but its young. Its all part of pete's goal tho. Younger and faster. Seattle dont keep there vetrans just becuase, if they did we would have tatupu. What about trading our first round pick?
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 03/20/1205:45 PM
Holmgren is the one that has issues of holding onto to vetran players,Ole Pete is / seems a bit different in that situation.Never trade your #1 pick keep building for the future.Between Okung and Carpenter being injury prone we can't have enough guy's to plug in.If Okung get's his ankle injured again this season and is out more then a few games then it's time to move on kinda like Tubbs a few years back,good when healthy but couldn't stay healthy.Good luck, SZ
OL / LB should be the draft and free agency......from here on out.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 03/20/1205:48 PM
Sorry but Shianco can help block and catch the ball and has a few years left in him.Tamme to visit also.Micheal Bush to make a stop but that would mean Washington would be out,I'd take Bush over Forsett though.Need Washington on special teams.Good luck, SZ
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 03/20/1205:54 PM
What would you think about picking Decastro, he is suppose to be the best guard to come out of college since Hutchinson. Our line would be set for the next 10 years.

You build a team through the draft, not free agency. Holmgren was too loyal to a fault...Jeremy Stevens, Koren Robinson. lol
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 03/20/1206:05 PM
Not up on the path to the draft as far as OL goes,just QB and WR,DL.So far I'm not sold on the longevity of the past two #'s on the OL.They both have a lot to prove this year if ya ask me and Carpenter is still away's out on his rehab from what they say.Good luck, SZ
I'm pulling for both to be healthy and studley this year..though.

You could always trade a pick for a player or trade a pick for a few picks if the the guy isnt worth the pick that your looking for in the draft. Like if the seahawks still needed a qb and grabed ryan tannehill at pick 12 that would be paying to much. As he should go late 1st early 2nd. but that would be what we needed the most imo. Not that there isnt alot of talent at pick 12 that we could use. Im thinking linebacker but who? OL would be safer but linebacker would help more.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 03/20/1206:18 PM
I know this won't happen, but what about trading Beast Mode now that he has a lot of value and then draft Clint Richardson, I think this guy is going to be a star. What do you guy's think is the worth of the Beast Mode? Is he worth a first rounder?
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 03/20/1210:03 PM
We would have went after Richardson in the draft if Beast Mode moved on.we have to take the best player the 12th spot has to offer, then go from there.Good luck,

I like Bush, thought he was a stud while in college before breaking his leg. I would like to have him on the Hawks but I think he is trying to go to a team were he has a chance to the #1 back. He would probably get more carries staying with the Raiders seeing how McFadden is always hurt.

You didnt read that post of mine clearly. I said If the seahawks still needed a qb. If they did not that they do. I know alot about football played my whole life as a young kid and all through out school didnt know i had to show a resume. The post was about trading and their draft pick upcoming, not about the seahawks qb situation.

we were SO close to finally being rid of Smith
And now he's back like a bad case of herpes. Its what made losing the Manning sweepstakes even more painful. We don't get a QB of his caliber and were stuck with Noodle Arm throwing balls in the dirt for another year. Well, it was fun to dream about a Superbowl for a few days anyway. Forget that idea now. With Smith this team could be right back to .500 or worse this year and if you don't realize that you're not living in reality. We got away with Smith's endless series of three and outs and unimaginable ineptitude in the red zone last year. This year we won't.

Good one...
Drafted in the 5th by the Falcons and played in one game...they cut him.
Goes to Carolina when Cable was the line coach, starts one game and they cut him.
Starts 3 Games with Da Bears last year and they cut him.
I'm looking forward to one of the Fawks starters on the OL to go down and he's the replacement. That should turn into a 7 sack game.
haha didnt know that? i was just judging from his size and experence but sounds like there aint much. I didnt even know him before we picked him up

Well seeing how Walter Football had the Giants ranked 16 and the 49rs ranked 30 last year in their preseason rankings, I figure the rankings are about as good toilet paper.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 03/30/1209:34 PM
This guy's going to have a break out year!
Incredibly this year, of all wide receivers in the league only one avoided putting the ball on the ground. That man was Seattle Seahawks receiver Golden Tate who caught all 35 catchable balls thrown his way. This wasn’t exactly the biggest surprise in the world as Tate has only dropped one ball (Week 13 versus Carolina in 2010) since entering the league. His perfect Drop Rate score just adds to our feeling (he scored a +5.2 for his receiving) that Tate’s playing time in 2012 needs to replicate the end to his 2011, and not the beginning.

I'm interested in this side project of Cable turning Sweezy into an O-lineman. Sweezy has the physical make up to be a guard or center and he is really smart. I'm pumped about Turbin too. Wilsons performance at rookie mini-camp is just a good showing at a ROOKIE MINI-CAMP. Lets settle down and see what happens when he gets at game speed with real defensive ends and line backers trying to rip his head off.

same with Turbin, yeah, dudes a freak for sure, but how is he going to do with Polamalu chasing him?
im still glad we got Wilson, but feel bad for Portis, i really liked him too...
point is, the best players start, unless injured... so in a way J, you are right, because we still need to make it through camp, and pre season...

He was getting balls batted back to him at Fawks practice.
Well not sure how true that is, I also saw in a interview from the camp where out of 500 throws over 400 were good/great. You must get better clips of our camp down there in SF because the local station & ESPN didn't show the passes that were batted down.

Mike Sando does the ESPN NFC West blog:
Height, not talent, is the concern for the 5-foot-11 Wilson. He did have three passes tipped near the line of scrimmage, by my count. A couple deep balls failed to find their targets, Carroll noted.
According to Carroll he also threw almost 500 passes in camp so if only 3 passes got tipped that is no more than the average QB has during a game. Way to over exagerate.

I'm not saying that he will be the best but every QB has passes tipped or batted so when you try to make a point at least make it somewhat believable (3 tipped passes you got to do better than that) unless you were just trying to stir the pot.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 05/15/1208:33 PM
I liked Wilson before the draft and was thinking he would be a decent NFL QB and I believe anything is an improvement over TJ. I don't have as much confidence in Flynn, I mean 1 game against a NE and Detroit defense which are weak. Although no other QB put up similar numbers against those teams. I think Flynn starts, Wilson is #2 and we cut TJ. As for pot stirring I took the bait.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 05/15/1208:44 PM
I don't think Portis could clear to be able to be on the practice squad. I think if TJ doesn't make the #1 and Wilson does decent then TJ is cut to save a little dime.

I don't think Moss is going to be a factor by actually catching the ball, I think he is going to draw a lot of Safeties away from the middle which will free up Davis. That right there is worth the gamble to sign Moss.

Funny how hank laughs at our 7-9 playoff appearance when his loser team is in the same division and was not even in contention for 7-9 that same year. What was that whiner record that year........?
With the first pick in every draft for ten years the whiners now have one winning record in ten seasons. I guess even a blind pig finds a truffle once in a while.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 05/16/1204:35 PM
The comment about drafting first was in jest but you get the point. The whiners had one good year.....One. We will see far more of Alexis of past seasons than Smith of last year.
Moss under his feet, Crabass and veronica will all fall to pieces when they "don't get the ball enough". Only person left to fill out that bitch fest would be to have TO back.
The D might make you a .500 ball club but only if Willis can stay healthy and once they start getting banged up each year it takes a little out of them.
We are the up and coming team. Young dumb and full of.....well not fuller than the niners......They live in San Fran.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 05/16/1210:01 PM
I'm a transplant to WA so I'm not disillusioned on the potential of this squad.
I knew pete was on crack when he brought in Jackson. Anyone that watches football knows he's not a starter. Think back to the Vikings. Jackson was the 2nd string QB. Who playyed when Farve went down??? Yep their third string QB.
Since the personnel Mikey brought in aged and left, the franchise isn't going to do much..
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 05/16/1210:18 PM
Yeah you lost credibility with me in the Playoff thread. If you think back to 2007 my unit when we returned from Iraq were honored by the Seahawks and actually got to attend and practice with them. I have nothing against the team but the personnel moves since Mikey left have been horrible.
I really thought Petey would bring in good talent especially since its legal for him to pay them now.

Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 05/22/1211:31 AM
I have to agree with Hank on his ability to block. If our OL can stay healthy then it may turn out to be a good pick up but last year with all the injuries we used are TE's as blockers and not sure that is Winslow's strength.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 05/22/1205:05 PM
I was wishing for the Hawks to get Winslow when he left the Browns. Now he is approching ten years in the league. I think he will replace Carlson just fine. I'm sure he blocks better than Carlson or Morrah and catches a good number of balls. Just hope he stays healthy.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 05/22/1206:06 PM
I like Winslow...and for what he cost us, we can ditch him if he doesn't work out. He's had the bad knees throughout his career, and they haven't slowed him down hardly at all.

Wilson is dynamic, but he has a lot to learn. And his size is a negative, he does has the biggest hands of all the qb drafted this year, that helps his case.

Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 07/31/1211:59 PM
Flynn wins
Today that is
Today was a solid day by Flynn, he is so accurate and throws open his WR's on every play. He was hands down the best QB on the field today. Jackson had a bad day, and i mean bad. I think the DB's got their hands on more balls than the WR's did and he still waits till the WR is looking for the ball before he throws it. Wilson is talented and looks special out there but you can tell he is not as polished as even Jackson. Altho he is more accurate and has just as strong a arm. Also he doesn't wait for the WR to turn around to get the ball out.
All in all it was a great day by Flynn, he looked special today. But like Lockett said the other day, you are not as good as your best day and you are not as bad as your worst. Today was a special day for Flynn and if Camp continues like it did today, Flynn has no competition for the starting job.
On a Side note Baldwin and Fynn seem to have a 6th sense when working together. It was great to see, something like that we have not seen since Krieg to Largent.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 08/08/1205:25 PM

Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/07/1310:54 PM
Anybody notice how in each of the last two games, the Hawks had a chance to snap the ball while the opposing defense was still running off the field? Seems like it could have been an easy 5 yard penalty for either offside or too many players on the field.
It wasn't as big a deal last week but the week before it happened during a crucial third down that would have given them a first.
Might need to take advantage of that situation in the future.
Sucks Clem is out and hope he has a speedy recovery.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/07/1311:16 PM
Browner cracks me up, I was busting a gut watching him mess w/ that punk WR. Looked like a grown man putting an ass whooping on his smart-mouthed teenager.
We have some real characters on this team, see Robinson tell the Redskin nation faithful to hush up after his TD? And Golden running around after the game sporting the 12th man flag was the topper.

Maybe...however he missed 4 games so it isn't every game AND he was so busy beating the crap out of Pierre Garcon that Garcon was a non-factor all game. Garcon had to leave the field at least 2 times to get damage repaired and he would come back, only to have Browner beat the hell out of him some more.
Wait until he gets hold of Randy Moss in a couple weeks.

That was said last week too. The Redskins hadn't had a home playoff game in forever and the Hawks were going to be blown back onto the bus by all the noise. Didn't quite work out that way. Jump on the Falcons and get up 14-0, the folks will all head for the exits.

They have 9,000 tickets still for sale and that's only the NFL owned tickets not the aftermarket ticket brokers so they probably still have twice that many. My brother is thinking about driving down there from SC and he'll probably be able to get a lower bowl for ~ $100.00.
I've been listening to Atlanta sports radio all morning and they started with Bulldog football and have now moved on to Bulldog basketball.
They did play some of Sherman being "miked" up which was pretty funny. They also spent about 5 minutes talking about Brewer's article about how tough the Hawks are and they opined they could match Seattle toughness based on their performance against the New Orleans defense

Sherman was incensed when he didn't make the Pro Bowl. He was thrilled with the news he made the All-Pro team ''because that's comparing the whole league.''
'' That is taking individuals and saying they are the best in the NFL at that position and that's what I wanted to be,'' Sherman said. '' The Pro Bowl is taking three from each side, it's more of a popularity contest. The All-Pro, you're the best at your position. It doesn't matter if you're a fifth-rounder or fourth-rounder or undrafted. If you play the best, you're All-Pro.''

Todd, I agree. I also think going for it on 4th and 1 was the wrong call. Take the points. Then if they would've got the FG right before the half, you at least are only down 14 and we get the ball first.

Not really a big fact, since I would imagine almost every team has a greater than 80% winning % when up by 20 points at half.
It's the Fawks losing % that should worry you.
Once again, if most teams have a greater than 80% winning % when up by 20, then it would take a person with common sense that most teams have around a 20% chance of coming back. So it doesn't matter as both are crappy chances.

Pete Carol is a dumb ass, he ultimately is responsible for play calls and going for it on 4th down was a very stupid choice. That would have been 3 points and also a trip to the NFC champ game. I know the players didn't do anything in the first have but the coaching lost the game in my eyes!

Dear Mr. Browntrout,
The better team won today as indicated by the score. The fact that you didn't "get it together in the first half" is the sign of a lesser team. You failed to stop them with your vaunted defense in the final thirty seconds after a valiant, yet futile, attempt at a position above your team's station. And as far as beating Denver once, they beat you today.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/13/1308:52 PM
The Hawks are young and will be the best team in 2013. Came on strong at the end of the season. Home field advantage would have been nice but that's what happens when you lose to teams like Miami and Detroit in mid-season and lose to NFC West on the road early.
Another strong draft should put us on top.

Although higher ranked offenses we beat much better teams as our opponents combined record was better. Redhook your right we lost just hard to stomach when it was sealed with that last TD.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/13/1309:06 PM
Good summary analysis Hank. But for the "woulda', shoulda's the Hawks came ever so close. D was strong, but not strong enough against Atlanta's run, and now they get the chance to relive the final 30 seconds all the ride home.
Congrats Hawks! An exciting football season fer sure, and I couldn't sit down the final 2 minutes today. And everybody knows I'm not the excitable type. Too bad they couldn't feel the 12th Man; it mighta' helped.

Very true, I am glad to see the hawks getting a little notification along with their success. Its hard being a west coast team not named san fran in this league. I saw the diamond in the rough from the beginning, we had a killer draft. Although i didn’t know willson was the third overall pick. If he was just 2 inches taller the browns would have taken him. We have arguably the 2 rookies of the year in wagner and Wilson. This draft will be interesting to see how we can improve. We have a young hopeful team now lets just not get hurt next season and do it again.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/13/1309:47 PM
I am not that sad about the game. It sucks that the season is over for the Hawks but it sure exceeded my wildest expectations. I was worried about our QB and we got one that could be a legend so ZERO complaints from me.
The only teams I like are the Nawks, 49ers, and sort of Denver so I guess I can at least give a crap about next weekend. It would be nice if in the SB the 49ers stomp the Pats cuz I am so tired of their show.
Next year the Hawks may start to garner some respect from outside the PNW. Doubtful, but it might happen if they keep up what they have going for them now.

who am i kidding, im smarter than that

redhook if the draft were today russ would be the third overall pick catch my drift. The browns would have taken russ in a heartbeat and there season would have been much different. Yes he was the 75th but should have been the 3rd.

i was gonna say something about that earlier... you can really see now how much Clem has an impact on this team... that play when Gonzo caught the ball for the FG, we rushed Winston Guy, the safety, that should have been in coverage... if Clemmons was in, we wouldnt have needed to do that likely... Gonzalez is one of the greatest to play the game tho, so you never know, with that play....
but Clemmons has a HUGE impact on our defensive gameplay, as you all saw...

Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/13/1311:37 PM
The Seahawks need to capitalize on their clear homefield advantage. They lost three games to medicore teams by 11 points, by 4 to Detroit, 4 to Arizona and 3 to Miami. If they would have won any of those, the Hawks would have won the division, had a bye and homefield advantage. They lost the playoffs in the regular season.
The long distance wildcard thing never works, just too far to the east coast. Make them come here, make them spend hours on an airplane, make them deal with the 12th Man and its Super Bowl!.

We did that when we were the number 1 seed and the 6th seed Steelers beat us in the super bowl. Last year the giants were a number 4 seed. We had a team that could have won it this year. we were a top 6 team and barley lost today we could have been one of the top 4 teams left. This was almost as hard of a loss as that super bowl loss. We had a lot of momentum going into the super bowl run and just barley fell short. I agree tho on the traveling part

On TV Steve Raible was talking about Wilsons salary for the next season. He said Wilson's rookie contract provides an income of only 526K for next season. Obviously he is worth far more than that. Raible also said the NFL rules say that a rookies contract cant be changed for three years. Doesnt make any sense. There must be some way around that. Maybe the NFL gives waivers or something. The guy should be maklng millions. We need to keep him happy!

I agree. All the bitch asses that complain and are depressed about the loss last Sunday need to recognize how unbelievably lucky we are to have gotten Russel. Without him we would have not been a playoff contender this season.
I grew up watching a terrible Hawks team and never liked Hasselbucket much because of his lame personality and emotional quirks that lost games like the farging Super Bowl.
Russel is exactly what football fans dream of and we got him when the rest of our team is very good.
The Hawks are beyond lucky. Luck doesn't begin to describe it. It is a MIRACLE that we got Russel Wilson and that he is what he is.

I will root for the Niners for precisely the reason that Hank mentions. Same reason that I root for the Ducks when they are in a Bowl game (like when was the last time they weren't!). But, Jim Harbaugh is a real piece of work, say what you want about Pete, but he doesn't behave like a petulant child on the sidelines. I also think that Alex Smith was given a raw deal but he and Matt Flynn will make some teams very happy this off season. And even though I don't much care for Kaepernich (sp.), he has shown some definite skills.

Seahawks sign guard Jahri Evans. Six time pro bowler who seldom ever misses a game in his 10 year career. Just what they needed was a vet to coach up the young studs. Thanks Pete/John.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 08/07/1612:24 AM
More news on Evans.
The perpetually salary-cap plagued New Orleans Saints released Evans back in February, but Evans still had a relatively impressive season for an offensive lineman in 2015. Pro Football Focus gave Evans a solid 82.3 pass protection rating last year, which was significantly higher than any Seahawks lineman.
Signing Evans gives Seattle a big boost to their front five at a time when things are finally starting to look up.
So far at training camp rookie guard Germain Ifedi has been the standout player. Ifedi’s physical, never-back-down style has set the tone for Seattle’s rookies this year. A couple of times he’s been able to stand Michael Bennett up at the line of scrimmage.
During Friday’s practice Tom Cable shuffled around the offensive line a great deal. Several previously unseen combinations were out on the field, which was a strong indication that the Seahawks were planning to make a change. Evans doesn’t have to be an All-Pro kind of lineman to earn his keep, either. Seattle desperately needed a veteran of Evans’ caliber to help lead a unit that will feature five new starters in 2016.
Expect a lot more shuffling of the deck over the next five weeks, but if Ifedi lives up to the hype and Jahri Evans plays the way we expect, Seattle’s offensive line will be at least 40% less of a dumpster-fire than some people are predicting. In a game of inches, that could be huge.
The post Jahri Evans: Help where Seattle needs it most appeared first on Cover32.

The Yorks must be livid. I doubt you could get him for a 7th round pick for him. Just think how many millions this latest cluster has caused him. Jim Harbough was the worst thing that ever happened to him. Makes you wonder what Pete could have done for his career. He looks really skinny this year, I'm talking tweaker skinny. Your front four seven will be fun to watch this year. Pete should be on the phone with the yorks trying to get a first round and possibility a third round for Boykin. The Hawks could pick up a game manager QB with experience. Russell has never missed a game or a practice. Boykin has that " it" factor. Might not be a good decision trading him in our own division.
Linebacker Kache Palacio played the game of his life Palacio was a longshot to make the Seahawks roster after they brought the undrafted free agent to training camp in early August. But the Washington State product has slowly ascended the depth chart. On Thursday, in what served as his final audition to make the roster, Palacio tallied six tackles, one for loss, and forced and recovered a fumble. "Big play, huge play," Carroll said. "He's done a nice job. He's kind of come out of nowhere. We got him kind of late. He jumped on the scene and showed the flexibility to play different positions. He'd already been an outside 'backer (at WSU). He's played inside for us as we've needed him, too, and worked hard on special teams." It remains unclear whom he would replace, but there's no doubt he improved his stock as much as any player aiming for a roster spot.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 09/06/1604:06 PM

Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 09/19/1607:13 AM
IMO, the Rams are the team that does the best job of exploiting the weakness of the Hawks' offensive line, game after game. Healthy or not, Russ always looks BAD against them, because he can't get through two reads or set his feet to throw. Teams with even respectable lines seem to handle the Rams fairly easily. Seems to me that most games the Hawks lose are to teams that manhandle them at the line of scrimmage. That can probably be said about a lot of teams, but line play is clearly the Hawks' Achilles heel.
I agree that a healthy Wilson probably finds a way to get the team in the end zone, and he may have been the difference between an ugly loss and an ugly win.

Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 09/20/1606:04 AM
I'm definitely more worried about the Hawks than I have in years. It seems like these are familiar problems (like o line) but may be too much to overcome this year. I also wish the Hawks D would start getting some turnovers again which have been so rare the last couple seasons. I also think RW isn't improving but instead regressing. If he wants to show improvement than he needs to get in tune with Jimmy G.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 09/20/1611:21 AM
I think Bevell would look a lot etter if he had some confidence in his line. Notice how much less we bitch about his play calling when the line finally starts to gel and he opens up the playbook?
Carroll and Schneider are as good as anyone (maybe the best) at managing personnel. Every personnel decision requires sacrifices at some other position. It seems clear their strategy is to "build" a line out of a mix of talented, quick, but inexperienced guys and spend the big bucks on position players. I think it's a good strategy overall (hard to argue with the overall results so far), but all plans have weaknesses. Opting to take some lumps up front and finish strong is a great way to go until the year comes along where the line doesn't improve. Is this the year? If the past few seasons are any indication, we'll find out in 5 or 6 weeks.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 09/21/1612:53 PM
We're starting better than most seasons. I just wish the Hell PC would have a come to Jesus meetings with all these stupid GD F'N penalties. I'm not one to complain about the officiating, but it was obvious the Refs wanted the Rams to win their first game back to L.A. I sure hope our stud LG Ifedi will return soon, he is a difference maker. Anyone know how long he'll be out? I have to downgrade the Hawks record to 11-5, hopefully that will win the division.
On another note,why isn't Bevell using Jimmy Graham in the red zone? Kearse wasn't even trying to get open, I would have gave him a d minus, I hope it's not get a fat contract and then lay back. Frank Clark is going to be a freaking monster, he already has three sacks and will lead the team in sacks this year.

What does Russ have to do to become legit on the east coast? This guy was rated #1 among all QB'S last year and has won more games the last four years +. They say he's a second tier QB.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 10/03/1602:40 PM
I don't care what they say, to me it's just insane that reporters are still saying foolish things about him. I bet this just makes RW work that much more (if that's possible) we're talking Willis Reed type stories with the pain Russ is playing with. This O line is really coming together. Justin Britt is a seriously good center getting better with each day. Ifedi didn't have a single penalty in his debut against the best front seven defenses. The future is brighter than ever.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 10/03/1602:48 PM

Gilliam got beat like a drum at RT. What makes you think he'd be better on Shorty's blind side?
There was a rumor going around today about the Niners putting Staley on the trading block before the deadline on the 1st. It was only a rumor, but the Fawks could sure use someone like him at LT.
Because he did it when Okung was out for weeks. You can good on one side and not the other, just like corners......duh.

Joe Thomas can be had for a 2nd round pick. He's under contract through '18, so whichever team wants him has to find cap space for $17.6 million and the balance of his $8.3 million salary this year. He's 31 but he plays much younger than that.
Second round pick..that's funny. A first and a third is more like it.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 10/24/1606:56 PM
Okung isn't that great. He almost tackled his opponent tonight and got flagged again for holding. Seahawks really need to bring in an lineman. Doubt they will make a move on Thomas and Chippy loves Staley too much to trade him especially to a foe. Put Gilliam in as a blocking TE. Need to have Tukufu back in as a blocking back.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 10/25/1602:20 PM
Let's be real. This management isn't the type to make a decision like trading for Thomas or Staley mid season. As much as we need to do it, we won't.
What will happen is we'll move Gilliam to LT and Webb at RT. That was supposed to be the lineup originally. And the line will be the same or close to as bad as it was before. Hell maybe the right side will be better because Webb is a bigger guy to run behind.

The referees really [Bleeeeep!] with the Hawks today. That was not a farely called game at all. It's the loss they had to deliver after the win delivered against Atlanta.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 11/03/1610:35 PM
This is my favorite Hawk, he's a solid dude. Defensive player of the month.
Avril, who ranks third in the NFL with 7.5 sacks, picked up 6.5 of those in October, and also forced three fumbles, two of which led to Seahawks touchdowns. Avril knocked the ball away from Saints running back Mark Ingram in last week’s loss at New Orleans, and safety Earl Thomas recovered and scored from 34-yards out. Earlier in the month, Avril had a sack and forced fumble against Atlanta that set up a Seahawks score in a win over the Falcons.
In addition to his standout play earning Avril accolades, those sacks have also helped support a good cause, with Avril pledging to fund a new home in Haiti for every sack this season. Avril is also hosting an online auction to raise money that will help those affected by Hurricane Matthew in Haiti.

You need to put that in context, Leadheadboy.
At the time of the trade Anthony Davis owned Avril. Before the trade, Avril had 1 tackle and 0 sacks in the last 2 games the Niners and the Lions played.
This is the Seahawks thread not the Loins thread Hank.
Cliff Avril sack: Seattle played Cover 1 — man with a free safety — which is almost always in conjunction with either a four- or five-man rush. On this play Seattle, out of respect for Colin Kaepernick’s running, rushed just three. When Avril beat right tackle Anthony Davis with an outside speed rush, he reached a deep point some 12 yards behind the line of scrimmage. That gave Kaepernick an opportunity to step up to a clean pocket while searching for an open receiver. Instead, the quarterback drifted to his left — curiously for a right-hander, his default flee — and when he squared to throw that slowed him enough for Avril to create the fumble.

I've always said Earl pound for pound is the toughest sob in the NFL. Nice to see Lockett replace Kearse. Kearse is a good blocker but I think he's a #4 receiver. Lock can take it to the house at any time.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 11/14/1609:29 PM
+1. The receivers are solid solid with Graham's new and improved play. As we know, good / great downfield TE play puts on a LOT of pressure. Even with the sacks, the oline's pass pro has been slowly improving all year, which is obviously key for a deep run. Can't pass when you are on your ass, but both of Wilson's ankles are now unwrapped.
Run blocking remains atrocious. No down hill at all. RB's not hitting the holes with authority or following blockers. Hope Rawls can get back in there soon.
Season to date team rushing stats: 30th Seattle 214 runs for 699 yds 3.3yds/carry long of 41yds 8 tds 77.7yds game 3fumbles 1 fumble lost
That's not going to do it come playoff time. Can't be 1D in January.
Still...great momentum right now and thank you Hawks for beating Brady. Fvck that guy.

Prosise sealed Michael's fate when he put his shoulder down and took on the db on the sideline... rather then running out of bounds like Michael would have. Michael had plenty of chances to prove himself and lock the job up but failed to do so. SF

honest opinion, i think the Niners should pick up Romo... he has a couple years left, and that would give them time to get someone new in there to learn from him....
would be a similar situation like with Palmer in AZ....
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 11/15/1607:53 PM
Cmike drives me crazy, he runs scared. He will run out of bounds before getting a first down. Have you ever noticed how the turf will tackle him without anyone near him. He's a joke, no wonder he's been traded 3-4 times in his short career. Rumor has it he has trouble reading the play book, and struggles to carry the ball under the right arm. Get him out of here, he's taking up a valuable roster spot. Prosise is where it's at.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 11/15/1608:14 PM
Thomas Rawls must be ready...just in time! He will need 2-3 games to hit his stride just before the playoff's. Looking forward to watching him run. I think he's the real deal, I can see him running for 1300-1500 yards every season, if not more.

Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 11/16/1604:26 PM
His Fibula break will be just fine. It wasn't a compound fracture. Regular Fibula breaks heal stronger than the original bone. His high ankle injury is another issue all together. Ankles and knees...its always ankles and knees that end careers, unless you are Steve Young or Joe Theismann.
It'll take him 2 - 3 games to work up the lather. Don't expect him to be effective for a while. It's now more mental than physical. If he's up and running by the playoffs, Seattle will be in a good place. A rested up RB in the playoffs is worth their weight in gold. Fresh legs...
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 11/16/1605:23 PM
I'm now really convinced how important Kam is to this team. He is the heart and soul of this defense. No wonder Ronnie Lott said Kam was the best Safety he's ever seen.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 11/16/1607:29 PM
From the horse's mouth-
"Kam Chancellor right now is as good as any safety that’s played in the game of football,” Lott said. “It’s hard for me to say this, but there was only one guy that I know that’s better and that’s Kenny Easley. He was defensive player of the year and best player to play the safety position, ever. He is getting to close to being in that community of greatness. And that is hard for me to say that because I have the utmost respect for Kenny Easley. That group, those two (Chancellor and Thomas), they’re playing at that level."
I'm pretty sure he also said Ed Reed's the best safety ever.
So that's like 3 best ever safeties. You can do that sh!t when you're Ronnie Lott, though.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 11/16/1607:46 PM
Here's the story from Lott. Read this link, it's interesting. Lott is my second favorite non Seahawk behind Walter Payton.

Yep, not even close. Lott was the most physical safety until Kam came on the scene. Kam still needs to put in a few more years at this to be compared to Lott. Just think, barring injuries we have three future HOF in the secondary.
Sherman Earl ( might all ready be there ) Kam.
And RW on offense. If he wins another SB that should do it, but I'd would bet he'll have at least three SB wins an minimum.

Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 11/22/1602:54 PM
Sounds like Shead will play this weekend. I bet Sherman follows TB's big receiver Mike Evans around the line. It seems that Thomas's hammy isn't that bad.
The fact that Earl didn't collapse to the turf is at least promising. He pulled up a little, but was still walking fairly normally. He hasn't missed a game yet, hope that streak continues.
Procise could be out up to 8 weeks. I can't believe how John and Pete find these great players in later rounds. Procise will be a pro bowler many times before he's done. Nice to have a back/receiver that is 6' 1" 230 pounds and runs like a Gazelle. This team is set for being a dynasty for years to come. Like Pete says about Procise, he has that ability to find those dark seems, something that you cant teach. It really suck he got hurt.

Ask anybody who knows anything about football to name their top 20 safeties and Tatum is not on that list. Why you may ask. Because he wasn't that good. Just some nice highlights.

Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 11/22/1605:33 PM
It would be hard to argue that Kam will go down as being the hardest hitting safety of all time. Physics alone don't lie....6' 3" 240 pounds of nasty hitting you at full speed. He can take over a game much like Lawrence Taylor did.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 11/22/1607:17 PM
Different game now so hard to measure today's players to players of yesteryear. The hits that were legal then might get you banned now. Rodney Harrison was probably the last guy in the league to get away with that type of play and he was still getting popped for it while playing.

The Hawks got their # 1 run stopper in division one last year, Jarred Allen from the tide. That's why we let Mebane go. Allen can also get to the QB once in a while, while Mebane just moved double teams straight up the field.
We also got the best blocking TE in Div # 1 in Vannett, but he's been dinged up, due to be back next game I believe. I don't think Willson will be back next year.

Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 11/28/1604:45 PM
I'm not gonna overthink that game. I went into it thinking it was a 50/50. Too many injuries and on the farthest part of the country from Seattle which historically was never a good thing for the Hawks.
My only issue was how much space the Bucks gave the Hawks in the middle of the field and the Hawks made no adjustments. Those DBs were just standing around where RW money passes usually go and he still threw them. If RW had dinked and dunked the Hawks would have won. Once they started going to Jimmy Gesus in the middle of the field for an easy 10 yards it was too late n the game plus he coughed up the ball. I think if they had made that adjustment sooner things would have been much different.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 11/28/1608:01 PM
Breezy, the Hawks left on friday and the game was played at 1:00 pst. so I don't buy the time zone theory. They have zero pass rush and Sherman got his ass handed to him by Evans. Not to mention a new center in Hunt. No passion whatsoever for the Hawks.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 11/28/1609:06 PM
Sol, Mike Evans may be the best WR in the league and after his two quick TDs there weren't any more. That is good. But my main point is, Mike Evans can own any top DB in the NFL. If Tampabay weren't such a [Bleeeeep!] hole and that team so uncovered by national media, Mike Evans would be a household name. If Mike Evans had an elite QB he would be number one WR.
And the east coast thing goes waaaaaaay back. I remember hating east coast games cuz it seemed like the Hawks played down to their opponent's level.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 11/29/1610:22 AM

One of the things the Fawks like about Kearse is his run blocking. He's pretty f'n good at it and better than any of the other WRs the Fawks have. A Nancy he's not.

I'm not jumping off the band wagon ......... but I have 2 club seats under cover, in section 210, including the parking pass, for the Thursday night game if anyone is interested.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 12/12/1601:23 PM
who knows at this point... this article says that Harbs has never spent more than 4 years with a single team, and hes already on year 2 at Michigan...
that and he also wanted to stay in the NFL but there werent any good jobs available that he wanted, so he went to College FB, id suspect money was involved too tho...
and the Rams have one of the richest owners in the game as well....

Wilson sucked, and his receivers were no better. Todd
This, and the TD pass that turd Kearse had go between his hands. That farker is worthless. Turned it off at half time.

You might have to pay someone to take that offer. <grin>
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 12/16/1601:23 PM
Did Lockette leap Kearse on the depth chart last night? One thing I noticed last night was Lockette was playing opposite ADB a lot more in 2-WR sets. Seven catches for 130 yards with zero drops. This Kid needs to be on the field as much as Baldwin. Once Prosise comes back, this team will have some serious weapons.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 12/21/1608:55 PM
Sherman has been acting like a real Douche Bag lately. Screaming at our OC and DC's during the game. And making threats to reporters, this is the thing I hate about player coaches, you think Holmgren would let this brat act like this? Read the link.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 12/22/1608:28 AM
For a smart guy, Sherm seems to have a lot of trouble keeping his emotions in check. That seems to be what gets him in trouble. When someone in his position starts making claims that he can end people's careers, it's probably a sign of more (and worse) trouble to come, unless swift, corrective action is taken.
His Twitter apology was a good move. Let's hope Carroll and company are stepping up their discipline game a bit; it's becoming a dangerous situation, both for the player and for the team. Sherm can't end any media person's career, but he needs to take a look around him and realize that the media absolutely can ruin him. I personally find the media annoying and fairly useless, but they hold the key to public perception, so if you're in the public eye, they're not to be messed with.

Petey doesn't know about wood sheds. I disagree Hank, you never show up a Coach during a game on the field. He can vent after the game. As far as the post Tip int in the NFCCG, that reporter interviewed him seconds after the most important game at that time in Hawks history. I don't think Bevell is horrible, more like middle of the pack good. If the Hawks don't go to the SB, my guess is he's a goner. I would love to see Gus Bradley come back as DC, sounds like the Jags are going to fire him. I was hoping Sark was going to be available for OC if Bev is let go. He just signed with Alabama.
I believe that bad call that cost us a SB is still haunting the players on this team. It still pisses me off, I can't imagine how the players feel.

Yeah they fired him 4 days ago
That's cold with two games left. Pete just said he has been in contact with Bradley.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 12/27/1603:54 PM
TRUTH - despite some's attempt to ignore it.
Our Hawks are a good team capable of being very bad, and now seemingly rarely capable of being great.
It's been quite a run for us, but right now, they're struggling/hurt/confused/etc.
Even PC doesn't sound nearly so confident, which tells me the lack of confidence throughout the organization is likely significant.
Bev will not return and Gus Bradley will be brought back. There's no excuse for Bev not using one of the best offensive players in the NFL (Jimmy)
I hope am wrong and they catch fire and land in the SB. Losing Earl and lockett is crushing. I'm excited to see Richardson get some time on the field, he's made good on every chance he's had. Time will tell. There are a lot of teams who wish they were in our cleats.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 12/27/1603:58 PM
I firmly believe that this will be Richard Sherman's last year in Seattle. Not only has his play on the field been down this year, he violated Pete's most major Commandment - do not speak in public of problems that should be thrashed out in the Locker Room.

Agree 100% he's become a cancer, he's at the peak of his career. I believe would could get a #1st round and at least a # 2 rounder for him. Use the cap savings and picks for Oline Men. Then pick up a veteran to rush the QB. Lot's of decent mid level corners in the league. With a better D line will help fill the void some. My last straw was when Sherman threatened that reporter to ruin his career. FUK HIM.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 12/28/1609:40 AM
I've been doom and gloom all season on the Hawks. Sounds like some folks here are now kicking their delusions. A lot of changes this offseason if the Hawks have a poopfest in the playoffs.
The Hawks dline is where they need the most help. QBs have all day to throw on 3rd and long. RW is throwing predictable throws and so he is getting picked off. Bev is an idiot because he doesn't adjust play calling to compensate when oline can't block and RW has no time. The running game is nonexistent when an opponent make any attempt to stop it. That's just the tip of the iceberg.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 12/28/1609:43 AM
Also, I've been watching the SB winning season on Rewind and the Hawks look very different. So hungry and fast. Now they play down or up to their opponent, now they have more on their mind. Things were simple back than and now they are complicated.

I don't expect them to win every year. I also am just sayin it like it is if that is a downer for you than so be it.
When I watch the SB winning season, the biggest difference I see is in the dline. They get pressure up the middle a lot more than they do now. They are very disruptive on every play. Now QBs have too much time. Why do you think the Hawks got so many turnovers that season? It was that dline more than our dbacks.
In the SB winning season, we run the ball a lot and the oline looks pretty bad. It doesn't appear that different from now. Our offense was different and very vanilla looking to my eyes.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 12/30/1609:07 PM

Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 12/30/1609:39 PM
I think the Hawks got a decent deal on him, he is 31 I believe. I didn't say he was over paid, I said he's been whining for two years on the deal he signed.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/01/1711:11 AM
Cheer for the Saints at Atlanta today. If we beat the Niners and Brees and company win, we will secure the 2nd seed. I think the Hawks will CRUSH the Niners today.....at least we should.

Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/03/1701:43 PM
I say that because it seems quite of few players are still pissed about the SB play. The problem is, who are you going to replace him with. I'm sort of in between on this, PC is real loyal to his Coaches, so it probably wont happen. If we some how make it to the SB, he's safe.
I like our chances on Saturday. I just don't see this team beating Atlanta on their field without Earl. Time will tell.
It sure would be nice to have Prosise ready for that game. That guy is going to be a pro bowler for years to come. He reminds me of Forte.

Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/04/1709:58 PM
Father time has caught up to Hester. He's an OK pick up to fill a major roster gap just in time for the playoffs. I wouldn't expect too much. His only job is to make smart choices fielding the ball (he will) and not muffing it (TBD based on recent history). Anything past that is gravy...IMO.

One or two 40-50 yard returns will be money well spent.

Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/05/1701:11 PM
Like you said the chances of Hester muffing a punt is pretty slim...anything else is just gravy. If I was a Bronco fan I would wish they would try to lure Cousins from Wash. You guy's need some more offensive weapons too.

Well TM is out in Saturday's playoff game. https://sports.yahoo.com/m/2b0d8c02-3602...or-playoff.html This is pretty big. I do not have any doubts Rubin and Reed can plug up the middle for a time but depth has really sheared its ugly head against us again. This will have to definitely be a special chapter for us to progress through the playoffs. It is a concussion, so if we win, hopefully he comes back next game, cause we will need him. Just another kick in the nuts.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/08/1709:41 AM
People are angry about officiating. It would mean something if this were a close contest. Here are reasons Lions lost in order of importance.
1. Rawls 167 yards; porous Lions D 2. Amazing catches by Hawks WRs 3. Lions receivers dropping passes everywhere 4. Solid Hawks D 5. RW protecting the football. He was conservative which is good. I hope for more of this in the post season. No more chuck it up and hope for the best. I saw short passes too which I like to see. The percentage of deep shots was too high lately, too predictable. 6. Refs
That's about it

Great confidence win ! Ground and pound, that's Seahawks football. I would like to plant my foot up our kickers arse, he's going to cost us another loss.He's directly responsible for two losses this year. GD, he's missed 5 extra points this year. I hope they let him go at the end of the season.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/08/1701:00 PM
Hank, I was watching North Carolina in a bowl game a couple weeks ago, their QB looked like he had NFL talent. His name was something like Fubersky or something similar. You clowns might want to use your pick on him....not sure what year he's in though. Too lazy to google it, have you heard of him?
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/08/1701:21 PM
so who are you going to replace the 4th most accurate kicker in NFL history with?
FYI, tons of kickers are missing the extra points this year, its because they moved them back to make them relevant... which they are now, because you can win, lose, or tie, all because of a foot now....

That's what it comes down to, who do you replace him with. If he's mentally lost his confidence, sometimes kickers don't recover from slumps. Right now he's f'n killing us. All kickers are on a short leash, we've extended that leash to it's fullest.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/08/1701:33 PM
I think we can put some blame for missed kicks on the new long snappers. The Hawks chose to save money by dropping their old standby; chemistry and experience matters with kicking. I thought the move seemed crazy at the start of the season. Saving money at the long snapper position is kinda silly IMO. how much can it be? I hope that money bought us some wins.

Wilsons accuracy issues are due to not having time, our line needs some help, well get it done..
and anyone thinking booting people off the team that have gotten to where we have been the last 5 years is a fvckin lunatic...
one thing i say, sign Hester, 1 year, let Lockette (smh) focus on receiving not returning kicks... Hester aint as fast as he was, but the dude still has the vision... 1 year...
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/15/1710:25 PM
I wish Bevell would stop using these GD useless bubble screens....hint, they don't fcking work!! Has he ever heard of a crossing route? They might make a change at the OC. Cut Jermaine Wearse to give Richardson some more playing time. That guy can stretch the field with the best of them.

Hey Dan, I don't claim to know a lot, I just have an opInion from being a huge fan of the game.
The first playoff game I attended was in 98 at the Kingdome versus the Phins. I've been to a lot of Hawks games in my life. My dad played in the Big 10 and he and my uncle were football stars growing up in Chicago. We watch football all the time my whole life so it not like I'm a total dumb [Bleeeeep!]. They educate me more than anyone I know. I still don't claim I know much at all cuz the more I know the less I know with football. I'm surrounded by guys who played their entire youth lives in my family beyond my uncles, where they grew up it was all that mattered.
You guys are the ones that make this [Bleeeeep!] personal because you probably have miserable lives and lash out at any and everything you don't agree with. I'd rather be wrong than a total ass.
We will see how RW does in the long run and beIieve me I hope he is elite.

Beezer, are you watching a different team with a QB named Russell Wilson ? For the life of me, I can't believe anyone with a scintilla of football IQ would not think this guy is the real deal. We're talking about a player that has zero help from his oline and still manages to put up incredible stats including a high percentage of completions.
If he was under center on the Cowboys he would be passing for 4k yards and 40 TD'S and around 6 int's year in and year out.
I heard on the radio from PC that Sherman had a hurt knee and that was the reason he was yelling at our Coaches.

Hank, Russ also suffered a tear in his pectoral that wasn't widely advertised, it happened about 6-7 weeks ago. He was a little off on several passes he normally would be on the money. I see him next year having a break out season barring any major injuries.

If you guys haven't noticed RW missing on some easy important throws than I don't know what to say. These are throws he has made easily in the past. He is always on the run and under pressure for years so why is it any different now?

Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/17/1712:33 PM
I agree RW has missed a few gimmes this season, but that happens to the best of them. Turns out it's hard to complete passes against the top 1/10th of the top1% of defensive football players.
I think Russ is a very good QB, but he's also still very young and should continue to improve. His injuries were a big part of why he got sacked so much this year. On the one hand, we can argue he needs to learn to get rid of the ball faster when things go wrong, but on the other, we've seen him make a lot of miraculous plays after somehow escaping a hard pass rush, so I'm not so sure we really want him to change that. I think he just needs to get fully healthy again.
There's talk of trading Sherman? Really? Sure, he has a big mouth, and he gives up a play now and then, but for the most part, QB's go out of their way to avoid throwing at him, and that's the ultimate testament to how good he is. I think the Hawks corners are all really good (the fact nobody throws at Sherman puts a lot of heat on the guy on the other side, and Shead made a lot more plays than he gave up). What makes them (and the rest of the defense) look great is the play of the starting safeties.
Without either ET or KC on the field, the defense goes from elite to mediocre, particularly in pass coverage. When those guys are both out there, one of them is in on almost every play, because they both have incredible ball hawking skills and quickness.
Carroll's defense is highly dependent on great safety play, and that explains why he and Schneider spend so much money there. I would argue they need to look for a solid backup for those guys (one of which is likely to be hurt at any given time, considering how they play) in the draft, so we don't experience such a dramatic dropoff when one of them can't play. If there are two good safeties on the field, it makes everyone else better. Can anyone who watched the defense just before Earl got hurt and after, or who has watched them play without Kam, argue differently?
Bummer we're sitting around, arguing what went wrong, instead of getting ready for another NFC Championship game....
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/17/1701:17 PM
I would like to RW lose about 10 pounds before next season. He was noticeably slower even in preseason before the injuries. The previous seasons you rarely ever saw him run down by a DE. Ciara must be a pretty good cook.
We need to keep Reece, he's a very good player that does tons of things, especially blocking for Rawls.
We're only a few good players to get back to the SB every season for the next 5-8 years. Can't wait to see Prosise back next year, he has that "it" factor.
I would like to see Walter Jones on the payroll working with Cable on our young Oline.
If we can get 2 number one picks, with at least one of those picks in the top ten for Sherman, I would do that in a nano second. He would look good in a Browns uniform. Not likely to happen though.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/17/1701:39 PM
Wilson should be the least of everyone's concern. Read Ducs post about the OLine. Lots of great QB'S in the league at 4+ second in pocket. Less than that and the #'s drop. Russ can make things happen when schit goes south, proven time and time again. Beef up the OL and solidify the secondary and add some depth and we will be contending for awhile, since the Forty Wieners will be in the toilet for 3+ years.
Russ put weight on because he knew he would take some hits. Maybe he should ask CrapperNickel for some advice.....
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/17/1708:20 PM

Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/19/1701:27 PM
This would be completely ridiculous by the NFL. By all accounts Sherman practiced fully every practice and he definitely played in every game. EVERY single player in the NFL has some sort of injury by mid season. Any injury that a player can practice through isn't serious enough to need to be reported. If they choose to single out the Seahawks, it will sour even more people on the NFL as a whole, and Roger Goodell specifically. The entire league has players playing hurt that aren't on their reports.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/19/1704:32 PM
Goodell is a donkeys ass!
Luck played with cracked ribs most of last season. Does anybody expect the Colts to put down on piece of paper, "Hey, our QB's ribs are all fuckedup so forget the deep ball and just go after Luck?" Same deal for the Hawks. Interesting that the Falcons were the only team who went after Sherman. Twice. I guess they saw it on film??
But the Hawks will probably lose a 2nd rounder because, well, Goodell is a donkeys ass!

They're in trouble because they LIED to the NFL. Multiple times. It's not so simple as "not reporting it". They actually LIED to the NFL and reported that his practice absences were personal / non-football related and then it was an "ankle injury" that he actually never had. Pretty sure the NFL, like most of us, don't like being LIED to. No?
Petey must be getting soft in his old head or just super arrogant. Why on earth would you go on sports radio and chat about breaking league rules? Dumbass.
2nd round in the draft is when most of the stud o-line guys get picked up. Just sayin'.

Hawks fans aren't so bad now that they've come down a bit from the Super Bowl. Its normal to get beyond amped after a team's first SB. Can't fault the love and passion.
Upper East Coast fans are just the worst. All of em' - doesn't matter the team. Bills, Eagles, Jets, Giants, Pats, Steeler, Ravens....they all have a LOT of chitty, stabby stabby fans. The only time I've ever actually been legit nervous for my safety (inside of a stadium) was at a Monday Night game in Philly. Holy crap. Lord of the Flies meets Thunderdome. There is an actual jail under that stadium and its standing room only by the end of the 3rd when beer sales get cut off. Yuengling and great stadium cheese steaks though...
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/22/1702:32 PM

Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/25/1707:04 PM
— The more you watch of Budda Baker, the more impressive he is. He can be another Tyrann Mathieu at the next level. His ability to play in space, read/react and fly to the ball could push him into the top-20. With teams increasingly playing in nickel, you can leave him on the field in any situation. He’s a roaming hybrid. If you want him to cover the slot, attack the LOS or blitz he can do it all. He’s a terrific hitter for his size.
— Baker also plays like a Seahawk, with great intensity and athleticism. I suspect he could be on Seattle’s radar as a high priority. He impacts games. When you watch Elijah Qualls, Kevin King, Sidney Jones — he flashes every time, even when you’re not focusing on him. It is a really deep cornerback class — but Baker might be the most impactful player the Seahawks could draft if he’s around at #26.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/25/1707:26 PM
Baker will be picked in the 1st round well before the Hawks can get him. He fits the Hawks scheme well but now that so many teams are copying the Hawks scheme they have a problem. I hope I'm wrong though, he does seem to have that energy and could energize the Hawks D. A young hard hitting stud would be rad for the Hawks and could turn back time. Its kinda like how young people help old people live longer. We need a new ET type player, but that such a diamond in the rough.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/25/1707:49 PM
Just looked at three samples of mock drafts he was listed 49 on one, the other had him in the third round and the last one was 57. Tweeners often drop in the draft. We could really use a linebacker who can drop in coverage on TE's and receivers. K.J Wright is terrible in open space but GREAT against the run. Wagner just isn't built for that position. I hope we don't lose that second rounder because of Pete opening his trap about Sherman being hurt.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/26/1703:08 PM
Free agent Offensive Lineman...per Field Gulls:
Whenever the Seattle Seahawks offensive line deficiency is brought up, it’s almost always followed by a qualifier along the lines of: “With all the money spent on Russell Wilson, Doug Baldwin, Jimmy Graham and the defensive stars, somewhere has to suffer.”
And suffer the offensive line has. As has the running game, the offense as a whole, and oh, I don’t know, Wilson’s pectoral, knee and ankle. Not to mention the sanity of the thousands that flinch each and every time a defender flies, unblocked, into Wilson.
The problem I have with the ideology behind the offensive line spending isn’t how little the team spends. It’s who they spend it on. Instead of Evan Mathis, it’s J’Marcus Webb. Instead of Matt Slauson, it’s Bradley Sowell. Not only have the Seahawks spent the better part of five years shopping in the bargain bin, they’ve been doing it blindfolded.
Prior to Seattle’s divisional round game against the Atlanta Falcons, Pete Carroll dropped a small tidbit into one of his press conferences that perhaps signaled a change on the horizon.
If the Seahawks’ apparent interest in Alex Mack last off-season tells us anything, it’s that Seattle isn’t totally gun-shy when it comes to spending big money on offensive lineman. If the fit and the talent are right, then the Seahawks could be willing to dish out a big contract to bring them in.
In Mack, Seattle would’ve had one of the best and most ideal zone blocking scheme centers, something the Falcons enjoyed with great success in 2016. While the Seahawks did still get plus-play from center Justin Britt, Atlanta finished tenth in Football Outsiders’ Adjusted Line Yards and seventh in rushing DVOA. The Mack-less Seattle Seahawks finished 26th and 23rd in those categories respectively.
With a shift in Seattle’s offensive line spending potentially coming, who are a few free agents we might see the team target?
Matt Kalil, Left Tackle, Minnesota Vikings
The universe is a cruel, cruel mistress, so it would only be fitting that the Seahawks could bring in a 3-5 million dollar tackle and it be Matt Kalil. Kalil, in case you don’t know, has been a massive disappointment since being selected fourth-overall in 2012. He had a promising-if-not-steady rookie year, but has progressively gotten worse to the point where his placement on injured reserve and eventual replacement by the Black Knight from Monty Python Jake Long this season was seen as an upgrade.
Why might Seattle be interested in Kalil then? For starters, Pete Carroll recruited and coached both he and his older brother Ryan while at USC. Both Carroll and Tom Cable have shown a tendency to lean towards familiarity on the offensive line in the past.
During the pre-draft process, Kalil tested well for a player of his size at 6’6” and 303 pounds. More importantly, he hit on one of the three offensive lineman ideals - 9-foot broad jump, 31-inch vertical and 27 reps on the bench press - outlined by Cable and Carroll. While his vertical jump was just short of the 31-inches Cable has previously mentioned, and he didn’t attempt the broad jump, his 30 reps on the bench press clears the team’s preference.
Kevin Zeitler, Right Guard, Cincinnati Bengals
It appears as though last year’s first-round pick, Germain Ifedi, is sticking at guard in 2017. With Ifedi’s expected improvement in year two, Britt being an above-average NFL center, and Mark Glowinski being like, the third least of the Seahawks ‘offensive line problems, the team is probably OK in the interior for another season - or at least in their eyes.
If something changes - be it a move to tackle for Ifedi or something else - guard Kevin Zeitler would be a great option to strengthen the middle. He would cost more than Kalil - likely somewhere between 6-8 million dollars annually - but he would also immediately become the best lineman on the roster.
The Bengals need to try to re-sign veteran tackle Andrew Whitworth, unless they want to double down on Cedric Ogbuehi for another season, and just gave left guard Clint Boling a new deal last offseason. These factors could lead to Zietler - he of 71 career starts - being allowed to walk in free agency.
Similar to Kalil, Zeitler hits on the bench press ideal, and just barely misses on the vertical jump. His broad jump of 8’5” is half a foot short of the 9-feet stated by Cable, but certainly athletic enough to be a welcome addition to Seattle’s offensive line.
Ricky Wagner, Right Tackle, Baltimore Ravens
Back-to-back former Wisconsin Badgers that have a history of protecting Russell Wilson! Wagner would be the best addition, and certainly the most expensive. Playing and starting for peanuts the majority of his career as a fifth-round pick, Wagner rightfully will use this off-season to presumably maximize his earnings and go to the highest bidder. The Seahawks are most likely not in a position to be that team but hey, dare to dream.
I would imagine once he hits the open market that Wagner will become a top-5 paid right tackle in the league, with a deal falling somewhere close to the one that Mitchell Schwartz got from the Kansas City Chiefs last off-season. With an average of six-million dollars a year, Seattle wouldn’t have to break the bank to bring him into the fold. While Schwartz’s deal is a good template to go off of, Wagner’s price may have been driven even higher based off the All-Pro level play the Chiefs got out of Schwartz this year.
Wagner essentially follows the same trend that Zeitler and Kalil did as far as the offensive lineman ideals go. He clears one, and is a near-miss on the other two. Wagner’s vertical of 31.5” basically nails what Cable outlined, with his bench press (20) and broad jump (8’5”) just missing.
—
Although a little veteran depth would be a welcome addition - Jahri Evans, anyone? - I think the Seahawks are going to be okay at the interior of their offensive line in 2017. Ifedi will continue to grow, Britt is more than serviceable, and Glowinski has the athletic ability and football IQ to become an OK NFL starter.
It’s on the outside where the team has gambled massively on complete unknowns that worries me. At a time where seemingly every team has a pass rusher capable of pinning his ears back and getting to the quarterback, Seattle has offered them a green-light rather than a competent tackle to stand in their way.
Pete Carroll has all but told us they’re ready and willing to invest money into the offensive line if the fit is right, and this off-season is the time for Cable, Carroll and John Schneider to go find the right fit, and find Russell Wilson some help.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 02/01/1706:07 PM
What free agents do you want signed by the Hawks?
I definitely want to see Reece back. I would love to see him with a full off season and OTA with the team.
I am 50/50 on Tony McDaniel and here is why. I really think this team needs a 3 tech DT that not only provides good run support on early downs, but also provides pass rush. My number one target would be Calais Campbell. What he would provide to the DL and defense as a whole would be so impactful. This front office has shown they will go after DL in FA, and Campbell is the kind of guy they would go after. Proven havoc maker, proven team leader, and has a ton of "street cred" that would provide instant respect from others in the locker room. So, I would first go after a guy like him. If it didn't work out I would look to bring back Tony on a 1 year deal to hedge for the draft. To me, other than big time key FA signings or re signings...FA is more about hedging your roster. The key is going into the draft without having to panic on certain positions.
Luke is gone in my opinion. He is a nice player, but I suspect he actually has a decent market and with the depth we have at TE and other holes on the roster I imagine a separation there. I would bring back Brandon Williams on a 1 year minimum type of deal (again to hedge our draft). I still think we see a TE drafted somewhere.
I would bring Hausch back on a short, small deal that is easy to get out of. It would not stop me from bringing in competition for camp though.
I think I would bring Mike Morgan back at a cheap price as well. Again, a spot you hope to upgrade in the draft but a nice hedge to have in case that guy never falls to you at the right spot.
I am OK either way on Jeron Johnson. Probably a lot cheaper than bringing back Mccrae at this point so going into the draft with him as our # 2 we could do a lot worse. But Safety is a position I am looking to attack in the draft either way. Most stacked DB class in a long time so even if he is brought back I would hope a young guy comes in and makes it hard to keep Jeron.

Because they aren't going to bring Haushka back unless he's willing to take significantly less money than he was making. He didn't earn his $3M cap hit this year and is a free agent. This is one of the places where the Hawks will make up some cap space to bring in a veteran lineman or two. Worst case is that he's competition for Haushka or whoever else we bring in.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 02/13/1706:50 PM
I keep wavering on this.I have a feeling he might take a decent pay cut to stay,but then why sign a new kicker. Sounds like Pete has already made is mind up. It's too bad, the guy was automatic until last season.
I doubt his phone will be ringing off the hook from other teams.

NFL owners approved two changes Wednesday that might have an effect on the NFL draft starting in 2017 and free agency in 2016.
The owners, who are meeting in Irving, Texas, voted to allow compensatory draft picks to be traded beginning in 2017 and also voted to shorten the "legal tampering window" before free agency from three days to two.
In the past, compensatory picks -- awarded to teams for losing a certain number of free agents -- have not been tradeable.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 02/25/1711:23 AM
The Branden Albert ( Dullfins) news should be interesting to people looking for tackle help. Any player released from a contract does not count towards or against the compensatory pick formula.
That said, the options for a veteran LT to bring in to compete with Fant have improved of late. Albert, Whitworth, Reiff, Clady, Beachum, Kahlil, Joekel, and likely Okung will be out there.

I'd guess we were close and he went with the home town team for family reasons. Crap....this bites the big one!!! Oh well, at least the pack got trolled as well.
SZ...I heard Pete saying that Fant stayed in Seattle and has been working out at the VMACK. I wouldn't right this guy off. It's pretty amazing how well he played since not playing since the eight grade. Just a hunch, he might need another year though.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 03/14/1712:06 PM
I like this move because it's his last chance in this league. If he comes here in shape and stays that way the whole season it could be really good for him and us. If he gets fat again and lazy he is done.
It's as simple as that. Hope he sees it as well. And it's only a 1 year deal...win, win.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 03/18/1706:05 PM
The Seahawks have drafted 14 offensive linemen since Pete and John started, tied for the most with 1 other team. They have not given out a second contract to any of the linemen they have drafted.
That's pretty damning. That doesn't bode well for Cable or the FO.

IMO most of these defensive signings are about trying to bring back the boom to the STs. JS talked about trying to bring back the toughness identity to the team and one area which has declined somewhat under the radar has been STs.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 04/05/1704:13 PM
John and Pete have now said they are listening to offers for Sherman.
I 100% believe that Sherman started all this. Calling out the coaches during the game with a sideline blowup as well as cutting off the Seattle media entirely late last year. I'm ok with it to be honest. Sherman has not been the player we signed to a lucrative contract since that contract. His play has been sub-par the last 2 seasons. That's still better then 90% of the other corners in the league but no longer "the best" as Shermk likes to put it. The fire is gone and has been for awhile. ET getting injured last year exposed Sherman's weaknesses. And at age 29 its only downhill from here. Might as well deal him now while he has maximum value. Revis trade brought a 1st and a 4th. I believe I Sherman trade should be similar.
With the news about Marshawn visiting Oakland today I'd say give the Hawks your 1st and 3rd and you can have both of them.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 04/13/1709:20 PM
Not much, at best a 4th rounder, more likely a 6th or 7th. The Hawks should try and get the 6 million he stole from the Hawks, from part of the signing bonus. The one two punch of Lacey and Rawls will make the Hawks forget about Meshawn.

Hawks 2017 schedule. Bye week game 6...ugh. Just noticed no back to back road games.
1) At Packers 2) 49ers 3) At Titans 4) Colts...........SNF 5) At Rams 6) BYE 7) At Giants 8.) Texans 9) Redskins 10) At Cardinals.........TNF 11) Falcons..........MNF 12) at Niners 13) Eagles......SNF 14) At Jags........ONLY EARLY START 15) Rams 16) At Cowboys 17) Cardinals
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 04/24/1708:18 AM
I like that schedule for the most part. I think the Hawks can win any one of those games if they get their mind right going into the game. I only see 2 tall orders and that is Packers and Cowboys. The Titans may surprise us too, they could take a big step this year.
If Hawks can get a win against the Packers to start the season its gonna be a sign of good things to come. I kinda like having a huge gane early like that. We may get the early season Packers that can look average.

I will say that the pick King made against ASU was the best catch I've ever seen in Husky stadium!
With his injury hopefully Jones slides to 26 as he's the best of the three!!

I wouldn't hate picking Doree, no way I'm taking a guy that just got hurt badly.Kevin has 4.45 speed at 6' 3" and 32" arms. I think Sidney will fall to the second round. We'll see tomorrow night.
Slight chance Sherman could get moved....it better be for crazy bank.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 04/26/1702:15 PM
Lynch traded to Oak.
The Tacoma News Tribune is reporting the compensation will be two late round pick swaps next year.
Although delayed, the compensation will be able to be used this draft as a trade piece(s).
I'm happy for Marshawn who may get to finish his career in hometown Oakland and the deal returns something to the Hawks who did him a favour in not clawing back his unearned bonus money which they would have had the right to do.
This drama is now done and the the team can move forward.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 04/26/1705:50 PM
Lynch is doing this for marketing of his Beast Mode gear. Sales were probably dropping off because he was becoming irrelevant . He will sell more hats in Oakland than he ever would have in Seattle.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 04/26/1709:49 PM
Stam - 111 carries, 3.8 yds a carry and 3 td's in 2015. He's 31 with a hernia and a bad back. Carr has a pass blocking o-line and spreads the ball. Beast will get a serviceable 150 carries / 10 td's max. This isn't 2012 or 13. He ain't gonna crush chit.
He'll be fun to watch as always. I wish him luck too - the old man is going to need it. Looking forward to watching my Orange Crush put a twice yearly whoopin' on his arse. He should have stayed retired. Now he's gonna be Wolfe bait.

Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 04/27/1709:06 PM
We had the best tackle in the draft there for the taking twice and we traded down to make a division rivals stronger. This is sheer stupidity. Is Russ even going to want to resign with team that obviously doesn't care about his health?
SF cleaned up. Getting Foster at 31 is crazy. His shoulders must have been a big concern of a lot of teams.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 04/28/1707:26 AM
To add to what Hank said about tendons, my brother (played some LB in college) broke his ankle. The tendons were stretched in the incident, not much damaged. Once the bones healed the ankle was "loose". Plant the foot and the leg kept going. Really tight taping may have held it together but it was always a problem after that.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 04/28/1708:34 AM
Yup - tendons and ligaments are so fickle. It's easy to tweak things again once they've already been repeatedly stretched out (see Lacy). I've never outright torn a knee that I know of, but they and my ankles have been stretched so badly from sports, fun and work that they are like limp rubber bands with zero stability now.
Several years ago I was playing around with friends, slipped on gravelly concrete and buckled my knee 90 degrees sideways. Heard and felt a loud pop and thought my knee was blown for the first time. Turns out I didn't tear anything, rather my ligaments were already so loose from sports that I bypassed any tearing and went straight to breaking my Tibia at the knee (broke the knee bone head clean off). Good ligaments stop that from happening. I didn't need any surgery, but I did have a full leg cast for 6 months after it was set. The Docs told me sports and getting my arse kicked for years allowed that to happen.
So...Lacy ain't gonna do chit either. 27, bad ligaments & tendons, overweight playing RB in the NFL. That's not a good plan for any longevity. He may have 1 - 2 decent years left.
Trading for brand name running backs over 25 years old in the NFL is just stupid. They wear out too quickly. Any good college RB with pass blocking skills can fill the void immediately (they're not QB's that need a few years of development). Draft RB's that are ready to go I say. Trade after 4 - 5 years and repeat for fresh legs.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 04/28/1709:05 AM
As Barry Switzer said..."It's not the x's and o's, it's the Jimmies and Joes".
Denver did what Seattle should have. Oline, Oline, Oline. Russ isn't getting any younger or more elusive. The major reason why the Raiders are on the rise is because they invested in their O-line first to protect Carr at all costs. Gotta build from the inside out. Blocking is job #1 in football. Job #2 is beating blocks. Always has been, always will be.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 04/28/1704:40 PM
Sounds like the FO got a little too cute on missing King, unless they were after Malik McDowell...who the fck knows. Would have like to seen Lamp here. Lot's of good players, I wonder who takes a chance on Mixon...he's a starter on 80% of teams. Hard to get that video out of your mind.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 04/28/1705:34 PM
So is Malik Tom Cable's next offensive line project? Need a friggin defensive back and maybe a tight end Cable can use to replace Gilliam at right tackle. I guess this draft isn't very deep in OL talent. There still is the center from Ohio State Elfein available.

Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 04/28/1706:22 PM
A center should be able to play guard. Pocic is a big guy but isn't athletic enough to play tackle. Seattle has 3 picks in the 3rd round. Should be interesting.
If I wasn't a life long Seahawk fan I would definitely not pick them as a team I would follow at this point. Team has way too many whiney tantrum throwing babies. I tire of it and completely understand why a lot of fans can't stand this team.
Never argue with someone who buys ink by the barrel.

Michael Bennett/Seattle SeaHawks video is released from TMZ. It went down nothing like he said, The video exonerates the Vegas Police. Along with that a big part of the NFL protest recently was also based on what happened to him. It is funny as hell. Trade this pos for draft picks,along with #25. Going to miss him jumping off sides twice a game though.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 09/30/1709:09 AM
I could care less about the NFL and for that matter the Seahawks right now. Not standing for the anthem and disrespecting the country as a grounds to protest is fukin pathetic. If this issue is really that important to these over priced dumbasses than they should not play the game. If Bennett feels that strongly about the issue than sitout some games to drive your point home. All these ball gagging NFL/Fantasy football idiots would lose their minds, and maybe.....just maybe...if equality or whatever the F you are protesting was that important then you might get somewhere.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 10/01/1706:46 AM

Great football weekend for Cougs and Hawks fans! Went to the game on Sunday evening. Nice to see Kenny's jersey retired at halftime.

Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 10/30/1707:11 PM
Our front office is the best! Superbowl here we come.
Jeremy Lane, Jermaine Kearse, a 2 and a 3 netted the Seahawks Duane Brown and Sheldon Richardson. I bet Russ is geeked.
Seahawks just went from a player ranked dead last in the NFL at left tackle to one who perennially ranks among the top ten.
Getting Brown without having to trade Graham to make cap room is amazing. And getting rid of Lane's salary somehow?
Gregg Bell ✔ @gbellseattle
From @PFF: New #Seahawks LT Duane Brown has had just 7 accepted penalties for holding against him in 133 games over 10 NFL seasons.In 2016 he only gave up one sack.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 11/20/1709:22 PM
I normally defend coaches doing something unconventional, but a couple of the decisions here were just bad ...
That trick play, if there was time left on the clock I'd defend the decision - it didn't work but I could understand taking the chance. But without time left on the clock (well maybe one more play with a timeout), what was he thinking? Luke Willson is going to sprint 30 yards to the end-zone? The team will be able to get off 3 plays in 7 seconds so they can take a shot at the end-zone before falling back to the field-goal? One shot from 30 yards out is better than a field goal? Maybe there's some explanation but it's almost like a complete loss of situational awareness made him see how close they were to a first down and went for it, even though the first-down was nearly irrelevant given the clock situation.
And that challenge was bad. The ESPN announcers knew it was the correct call (note to mention needing clear evidence the other direction to overturn) before Pete challenged .
Nobody is held accountable on this team....not to mention penalties.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 11/21/1707:08 AM
Hey SD, I agree with you but I'm sure it wasn't Pete's call on the trick play. That had Bevell written all over it, just like the Super Bowl pass instead of a run. Pete listens to his staff....Bevell on O plays and others on when to challenge...they screwed up big time. Pete needs to put on his big boy pants and take charge in crucial decisions.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 11/21/1708:14 AM
Every game this season has been butt a$s ugly win or lose. So many penalties, missed kicks, weird play calls. Im sick and feeling like fishing next Sunday.
Its even clearer Wilson is the future now along with the offense. Time to rebuild like the Saints did, drop some expensive players that are costing depth and draft a first round pick for the first time in 4 years. Stop making value moves and cut expensive older players.

He's already has 12 or 13 penalties. Pete will high five and give a pat on the ass after some stupid penalty of one of his players. If we go out in the first round or don't make the playoff....blow this chit up. Get rid of Bennett/Sherman/Blair/Bevell/Lane/Ifedi and another dozen.

Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 04/15/1802:32 PM
The Seattle Seahawks’ defense has experienced some major changes this offseason, and the team might not be done parting ways with star players. First, the Seahawks traded Michael Bennett to the Philadelphia Eagles and not long after decided to release Richard Sherman, who quickly found a new home in San Francisco with the NFC West rival 49ers. Now, Earl Thomas could become the latest player to depart the Pacific Northwest. Thomas’ future in Seattle has been murky dating back to last season. Following a Week 16 game in Dallas against the Cowboys, the Seahawks safety was captured chatting with Jason Garrett, telling the Cowboys coach that his team should “come get him” if it could. While the conversation didn’t seem very serious at first, Thomas heading to Dallas could become a reality. According to 105.3 The Fan’s Mike Fisher, the Seahawks and Cowboys have discussed a trade for Thomas, with Seattle reportedly asking for a first-round draft pick from Dallas. Thomas is one of the best safeties in the league and undoubtedly would make the Cowboys’ defense better, but a first-round pick is a lot to ask for a player on the last year of their contract. That said, Thomas’ aforementioned comments to Garrett lends one to believe the 28-year-old would be interested in staying in Dallas long term. If the Cowboys truly are prioritizing the safety position this offseason, they could address their need without a blockbuster trade. Tyrann Mathieu officially was released by the Arizona Cardinals on Wednesday, and the Honey Badger likely would make an immediate impact with America’s Team.
After that classless chit he pulled after the Dallas game, get rid of his ass. I think he's worth more than a low 1st round pick though. I would like to make a trade with Cleveland, give them our 18th pick with Earl and use that capital to get up and take that stud running back... Saquon Barkley, he's going to be a special RB. What do you guy's think? Any other ideas on another trade.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 04/27/1812:20 PM
It sounds like trading Earl today is going to happen. They better get more than a second round pick for him. I think someone will give up 2 second round picks to finalize the deal.

I think it was a good draft, nice to see them spread the drafts around the field. I'm especially pleased to see them draft the second Griffin. Cool story, good athlete. The unknown will make this season exciting.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 04/29/1810:12 AM
i thought it was a good draft as well... alot of people kept bitching about our line as usual, but with the addition of Fluker, and getting Fant back, we should be perfectly fine with them and big Duane Brown and Pocic and Britt...
Rashaad Penny, its gonna be fun watching him this year, he led the league in rushing last year, and that performance placed him 5th all time in the NCAA... sure, you can say that in the MWC he didnt play "top flight" teams, but that same division also produced Marshall Faulk, and Ladanian Tomlinson... i think hes going to do great...
Shaquem, i watched a couple games he played in last year, the kids got a serious motor, and heart... fastest LB in the draft in almost 15 years, his speed is faster than Julio Jones ran at his combine... let that sink in... the brothers will feed off each other, and the energy that Shaquem will bring to the team will be exciting... i cant wait...
Tre Flowers is another great pick, big, quick, long reach, and good...
the one i didnt like, not that he isnt good, is the punter pick.... Seattle has a habit of getting players like Haush, and now Ryan, and finding someone that is as good as them, or what not, and then letting the vet go like they did with Haush, because they dont want to pay them if they can get one on a rookie contract or for peanuts... i really like Ryan, hes been a workhorse on the team, and has taken some serious damage for the team... and i feel he is the best punter in the NFL... well see on that i guess....
Earl wasnt going anywhere, next year, possible, but not this year atleast....
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 05/29/1807:09 PM
This is a move that make sense as cheap as it is. He is potentially a more productive player than he appears too. His poor production last year with Giants was not his fault. Their offense was just one read and that was OBJ. Right when the team began using Marshall effectively, all their good WRs got injured in one freak game. Also, in those early season games, Sling Blade was running for his life behind a bad oline.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 10/01/1801:00 PM
look at McDougald's stats, they are nearly identical...
the can easily take Flowers and put him in at safety if need be, because thats what he played in college... who knows tho...
the thing with Earl, this is the 2nd time he has broken that leg running into another player, and it wasnt even hard hits either... the last time he broke it he hit Kam in the thigh...
alot of people dont realize, that there are team doctors, im starting to wonder if the reason he wasnt extended was because the doctors determined something was up with his bones?
i love Earl tho, and this actually may not be as bad as it seems... he will bounce back for sure, but who is going to pay a ton of money on a 30 year old hard hitting safety that broke his leg twice in 4 years?
this opens up the door for him to stay in Seattle, at a much lower contract rate, if he really wants to finish his career here like he said...
that will be up to him tho i think for the most part...
Pete has also said to give him some slack, so there doesnt seem to be too much trouble going on, you would think if there was a huge arguement in the locker room that it would have leaked out...
i guess we will just have to wait and hear what Earl has to say, hell, he may even retire...
what i think is odd tho, is all the people that are saying we should have paid him... what would they be saying if we paid him a 50 million dollar contract for 3-4 years last week, and this happened?
i know what would be said, they just wont admit it....
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 10/01/1801:27 PM
Earl can flip off anyone he wants...I appreciate his frustration, but it just makes him look childish, it sure didn't help his chances of getting paid by anyone.
The Hawks' management can come out and say it, but this is EXACTLY why they didn't give him an extension...they'd be totally smothered by TWO overpaid safeties that aren't playing if they had. Their decision to wait has turned out to be not only a good decision, but a rather prescient one, too.
The players are fond of saying "this is a business decision" when they hold out and ask for more money or extensions before their current contracts run out...but even the most fired up of them has to look at what happened with Kam, and then look at what happened with Earl, and see which one was the better business decision for the team.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 10/01/1802:03 PM
I think fans root for the name on the front of the jersey and not the name on the back.
NFL=Not For Long.
IF you want to be the highest paid player at your position then sign a 1 year deal. If the team wont guarantee the contract except on a year to year basis why on earth would a player sign it? And even dumber is being surprised three months later that you are no longer the highest paid player at that position.
Education/degrees matter. If you think having 10 million + in the bank at 30 years old AND that your earnings ability ends at that age you should probably think about going back to school..........Or living with Mom.

When are they going understand he's not a pocket passer at 5' 11" wtf happened to the read option??? Because he's not as fast as he once was, that's why. Then PC doesn't run the ball on 3rd and one while we were pounding them into submission. PC makes some of the stupidest play calls than any other Coach every year, one that cost us back to back titles.

I feel bad for ET. Flipping the bird is pretty low class, no matter the emotions of the moment. He feels disrespected - well a lot of players are disrespected cuz teams have to field 53 players under the salary cap. If players want more $$ respect, they need to push the owners and league to up the cap. That's the business side.
I hope ET's career isn't over. If he heals, he could probably string together annual contracts. What team wouldn't want him as safety?

Pains me to say this, but you are 100% correct. The two team physicians/surgeons have THE final say on any player's overall health and worth to a team. This process starts at the combines. All of the "fresh meat" is looked over by every team doctor and they all share the same information. The teams rely heavily on what the doctors say is good/bad...and this goes on as the season starts and injuries occur. Granted, once a player signs with a team, that medical info becomes property of the team and not released out to anyone.
If the Doc tells the front office that a player is damaged goods, he's done for.
I'd be surprised if ET wasn't labeled as "damanged goods" by the Docs for not having surgery to repair his intial break....'cuz a few titanium rods and screws are always going to be much stronger than a natural heal. Might not be better for you...but it will be stronger.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 10/03/1803:54 PM
A medical profession can correct me if I'm wrong but my understanding of bones is that they are very strong in one direction and very weak in others. They are strong where, evolutionarily, they needed to be. Leg bones, for example, may be able to bear a lot of downward force as that where humans and earlier animals placed the most pressure. Jumping, landing on the feet, supporting loads. They are, I have been told, weaker when hit from the side as that is not a direction that our evolutionary history decided needed to be protected against. So, a modest hit from side may cause a break while the same hit down the length of the bone may be easily absorbed.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 10/03/1805:30 PM
As a layman, sounds reasonable to me. Earl out just assures me that our FO won't give up another huge 3-4 year contract to someone who has peaked. Our front office is terrible at Poker, time and time again. Just watch what Bellicheat does in those situations. He is so much smarter than any Coach in modern times. Doesn't hurt to have a goat for a QB too. I can't get over the last two seasons were RW doesn't get rid of the GD ball. He never did that his first few seasons. O line looks a bit better though. yay. 8-8.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 10/03/1805:48 PM
They need to rid of the salary cap. With a healthy luxury tax. The Yankee's couldn't buy a championship for decades. The Oakland A's have always had the lowest player salary and have been pretty damn good. Chemistry.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 10/23/1807:56 PM
I have a feeling that the Hawks will want to win one for Paul Allen. I wouldn't be surprised if they win 5-7 straight games in a row. Who knows, we might get a playoff spot.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 12/17/1806:40 PM
I heard the Hawks have a 78 % to get the wild card spot. I doubt they will go very far, just too many better teams out there. I don't know why they keep Ifedi. He has more penalties than anyone in the NFL. I believe he did so last year.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 12/18/1806:58 AM
I am looking at the 'Haas in the same way I was looking at the Men's National Team and the last World Cup. If they can't get in, they don't deserve to be there. The need to win one of the last 3. You can't do that, especially against SF and AZ, then you should stay home. And the way the rest of the league is playing, they may get in losing all 3.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 12/18/1811:29 AM
We're just spoiled, I would not apologize getting to the playoffs even at 4-12 season. There's probably 20 % luck involved getting to the Super Bowl. When it comes to Russ, you're never out of it.
I'm sure the team wants to win one for Paul Allen.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 12/18/1801:42 PM
I wouldn't say "spoiled" is the right word. The Pats fans are "spoiled". The Hawks have won only 1 SB while playing in 3. That's not a really dynasty or even close, even though they have one of the best overall records in the past 7 years. I would say "unrealistic" is the more accurate and descriptive term of Hawks fans.
Wilson is the winningest QB in his first 7 years. That is crazy impressive, but it takes a WHOLE team in the zone to make to the SB, not just one player. So its unrealistic to expect the Hawks to make much playoff noise with their current roster. They are good enough to get a WC spot, but they are not a complete team. Complete teams don't lose the 49'rs this year. Who knows - maybe the Hawks get hot and make a run this year. It happens. But the odds are long when looking at overall talent.
It could be worse. You could be a Donkey's fan and lose your last two to the 49'rs and the Browns while also enjoying your first back-to-back losing seasons in franchise history. FIRE VANCE JOSEPH!
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 12/19/1806:13 AM
The Hawks have had I believe 6 straight 10 game wins a year. I think it's second to the Pats. Two trips to the SB, and nano back to back. The Hawks are a pretty new franchise compared to most. We have a really young team that is pretty damn good and will only improve.
I'm looking forward to the NFL playoff's. BOOM !!
Wilson will only get better.
Die-nasty.
When the Hawks are sold, that monies will go to charities. I hope Jody decides to keep the team. If she wants to sell, we should let the Hawk fans buy it, like the Packers.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 12/24/1803:40 PM
I'll second that, they better keep the penalties to a minimum and seass better start kicking better. Carson and Clark are beasts, not to mention Reed and Wagner. The one player that is underrated is K.J Wright, he's kinda like the glue, nice to have him back.

Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 01/05/1909:44 PM
I'm not one to blame the refs much, but that was messed up. I wonder how much $$$ Jerry had to pay off the refs.
Seabass the fat ass pulls his groin, probably because of his lack of conditioning. I can't remember any special teams player look like sack of [Bleeeeep!]. Russ almost gets his head torn off by his face mask on that sack.
Two pass interference calls that shouldn't have been called in this important of game. Reed will become our best DT barring injuries passing the Tez possibility. Bama can put out the de/dt.
Good game other than that. I would bet if the hawks would have passed 7 more times when the run wasn't working they would have won that game. I forgot about the worse onside kick in the history of the NFL. Baldwin could have done better. LOL
It looks like we have some good Coaches until Pete decides to retire.
P.S Props to K.J Wright, that was his best game in his career....STUD !

You can hit .270 drive in 80-90 runs and make 25 million a year.

Hawks have 65 million under the cap next year. Lock up Clark and extend Reed's contract.

I can't believe they are trying to get Harper 400 mil. wtf. Scott Boras and other agents have made it a fiasco. It used to be a game everyone could afford to go to. Ticket prices at AT&T park went through the roof after our second world series ,and all these bandwagoner fans who talk during the game about nothing,don't know anything about baseball,the food is insanely priced,did I mention how I hate bandwagon fans?
A lot of what I see in sports now is a joke. Like A-roid gettin all roided up,and Barry Bonds,who I loved watching play ,now has a fkn asterisk by his acheivements. It's disappointing to say the least. I'm all for players getting paid but at what point is a fat slob like Pablo Sandoval who got benched in 2010 during the world series and had such fluctuation number offensively worth 95 million??

I'll probably regret stepping into the middle of this fine bitchfest, but I have a question about football. We all know that Coach Carroll wants to establish a Seahawks running game. And with Carson, Davis, and Penny as running backs, it's worked wonders this season. Naive as I am, we wern't long into yesterday's game when I noticed that when Carson gets repeatedly tackled at or behind the line of scrimmage when attempting a run up the middle, the team can't make first downs. We've heard and read for years that doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is the very definition of insanity. Yet they sent Carson again and again up the middle into the Dallas defensive brick wall. I'm pretty sure that play just doesn't work against Dallas when the Hawks O line cannot create the slightest hole for Carson to run through. Doesn't Carrolll also know about this insanity concept? Or should we email him to let him know? Not very expert students of the game like myself can't help but wonder.

I'm with you,like I said earlier if they would have thrown 7 more passes when the run was getting stuffed we would have probably won.Nobody on Dallas could cover Lockett, he was 10-15 yards or more open every play it seemed.

The Seattle Seahawks sense Pro Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson wants to play for another team, a league source told Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.
Seattle also believes Wilson's unspoken desire to move on has led him to take a harder stance during contract negotiations, according to Florio.
Wilson, who's spent his entire career in Seattle, previously gave the Seahawks an April 15 deadline to complete an extension.
Rumors throughout the offseason have linked Wilson to the New York Giants. No credible reports have substantiated that speculation, though Kansas City Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu seems to believe Wilson does indeed have his sights set on the Big Apple.
Maybe two high 1st round picks including a high second round. I'm not sure that would be enough. I'd be surprised if we trade him.

With $17.128 million in cap space devoted to Clark, the Seahawks could free up plenty of money for signing Wilson, whose cap number for 2019 currently sits at $25.286 million — and who has $8.286 million paid out in prior years counting against this year’s cap.
These salaries are getting to be like baseball/NBA. Frank is our second best defensive player. I wouldn't give him 17 million. I would give him 12-13 though. I can't imagine Wilson leaving....we'll see.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 04/16/1908:01 PM
Will be very interesting to see what happens before the draft. Feels like a Clark trade is a real possibility. I like the guy, but I guess I just don't see him as a 20 mil a year guy yet. And if I had to choose between keeping him or Bobby, it's Bobby w/out a doubt.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 04/23/1904:51 PM
Frank Clark traded to the Chiefs.
Ouch.
He's going to make the Chiefs very happy with his pass rush. I hope we can turn the draft picks we got for him into something big, because that's a big loss.
Re: Official SEAHAWK THREAD ((((((((())))))))))) - 04/23/1904:54 PM
Good trade, the dollars were too much for the Hawks, and now they have five picks, which will likely be parlayed into 7 or 8 by the end of it...and there are some really good pass rushers in the mix this year.

What a great time to be a Hawks fan. This team has a good shot at returning to the SB. Can't wait to see Clowney and Metcalf tomorrow. Not to mention Lockett, Russ and Wagner. I would like to see Wagner win the defensive player of the year.
I think 10 wins is a given, but I predict 12-4 and another NFCC.

No. 1: Seattle Seahawks
After one of the worst picks in the first round I can ever remember, the Seattle Seahawks didn't draft any positions of need or draft for the future.
Pete Carroll is proving why he didn’t make it in the NFL the first time. Not only was Bruce Irvin a reach at No. 15, the Seahawks proved they were oblivious to their madness by celebrating their selection.
As if the day wasn’t bad enough, Seattle selecting Russell Wilson, a QB that doesn’t fit their offense at all, was by far the worst move of the draft. With the two worst moves of the draft, Seattle is the only team that received an F on draft day.

The Hawks have pretty much sucked at first round picks the last few years or always end up trading down. Adams is only 24 and they have control over him for awhile. His three years experience will be valuable and something a 1st rounder can’t bring you. If they coach him up like they have their other stud db’s his interceptions totals which aren’t great should increase. SF

I liked that DK Metcalf ran down Buddha Baker. Lockett had a great game. Stupid penalties and mistakes. The officiating was a little biased against the Hawks. Russell with 3 interceptions. Pretty pathetic coming off a bye week. Need to trade for a DE and get some players back on the defense. If you are going to run it and try to run the clock out then put in multiple TEs or an extra o lineman.

I finally saw the DK play today. He is a fully grown man. That speed at that size is just nutty. 6'4", 230 pounds and runs a 4.33. That's the fastest NFL combine ever recorded for anyone over 225 pounds.
But.....I'm 100% certain I could catch him in the open field.
I'm sure Taylor "I'm going to make sure Pete Carroll regrets not drafting me" Mays will be able to keep up with him....oh wait. 
BRUTAL!
Have you ever noticed how the turf will tackle him without anyone near him.
