Seahawks fans

I was expecting big things out of White. Fock. :mad:

[Kopy 559]

I'm not hating Forsett/Washington getting most the touches. Hopefully, another decent power back becomes available. In FF Forsett's value just took off.

 

In a rebuilding season. I don't have any problems with a Forsett/Washington platoon either.

similar skillsets. hopefully they can find a decent power guy to add to the mix.

It might be kinda tough to find at this stage of the game, Unless a trade is involved. I'd rather just draft a workhorse next year.

It could be possible they use Forsington (platoon, get it) I'm on to something big here

 

Use Forsington between the tens. And use FB owen schmitt to pound it in if need be. Let me tell you. The kid is a flat out pit bull.

Lots of Marshawn Lynch rumors floating around. I would definitely take a shot on Beast Mode for the right price.

Banking on the guy who couldn't win the starting job on the juggernaut Buffalo Bills squad...boy, it IS an exciting time to be a Seahawks fan!

 

 

[Joey Gladstone 33]

The Front office should just wait on Tardshawn, there is a decent chance he could get cut this summer. If he becomes a Seahawk I want it to be for little to no investment. He's more talented then LenDale, but carries even more risk.

I'm not in love with the guy, but I think you have to take anything that happens in Buffalo with a grain of salt. That is one effed up franchise.

 

And putting off-field issues aside, I like him more then Mendenhall based off of pure talent.

Since when is taking a shot on a guy the equivalent to banking on someone? Only in your focked up deep fryer head, I guess Plus, it's not like Lynch goes around raping women.

 

As for the Seahawks, yes it is exciting watching Schenider and Carroll revamp the roster. But you're too much of focking doosh to get it

Joey,

 

JG is the clown that told us we were crazy to want the Hawks to consider Crabtree last year. So I guess his opinion of Lynch guarentees the guy still has something left.

doubtful that i will get a legitimate answer here, probably a rehash of something petty or a "fock off" (hopefully a more level headed Seahawks homer can chime in)....

 

... but why were you guys so adamant that Brandon Marshall was not worth 2 2nd rounders, yet you wanted Crabtree last year or Bryant this year for 1st rounders? It seemed like most were saying the team had too many holes and building around a star WR wasn't the route to go.

 

simply Marshall's past off field issues?

The perception two years ago, by both Hawk fans and management, was that the team was not re-building. The blame for their poor season was soley on injuries, and truth be told, the team was decimated, especially at the WR position. The team had no offensive playmakers and by all accounts Crabtree was the best WR in the draft. Need and value seemed to be aligned at the # 4 pick.

 

However, Tim Ruskell made a horrendous mistake. He traded Julian Peterson to create a need at LB so he could take a player that best fit the Ruskell mold--Aaron Curry. The Hawk WR postion would look head and shoulders better right now with Housh, Crabtree and Tate, rather than Housh, Tate, and Branch.

 

Now Brandon Marshall, great player, wrong fit, wrong time. The Hawks second subpar season showed that the team was in rebuild mode. The team, realistically, will not be contending for a few seasons. What do rebuilding teams need? Draft picks. The Hawks had already given up next year's 3rd; it can't afford to give up next year's second as well as this year's second for a WR who would be getting a huge contract, has been in major legal trouble, and will be probably nearing 30 when this team is ready to seriously compete. The WR postion is simply not a postion you sink those kinds of resources into when rebuilding.

 

As for your legitimate respnse comment. Ask a legitmate question, make a legitimate point and things are cool. Come in with backhanded insults and you get the same. Simple.

Mendenhall's talent > Lynch's IMO...however, Mendenhall pretty much runs like a chick...for a big bodied guy, he shys away from talent. I'm still disgusted by seeing him run out of bounds after about a 25 yrd gain last year when he had one man to beat. Lower your shoulder and go through him if you have, but don't go out of bounds without getting a hand laid on you. But at this point, he appear not to be a head case like Lynch. I'll admit that I think Lynch would be a good fit for Seattle, but I'll also admit that Flahawker is a doosh of epic proportions.

your perception has never been that the Seahawks are rebuilding. You keep bashing me for Crabtree, but i've never backed off what I said. I simply don't see Crabtree as a game changer, I see the skill set of Dez Bryant being >>> Crabtree on every facet. I said in time that Crabtree would become a decent WR, more of a possession type guy. Bryant has Andre Johnson/Larry Fitzgerald kind of talent...whether he ever fulfills it is another thing, but I agree completely with WhiteWonder...I'd rather have Marshall for a couple of 2nds than either of them until they prove something.

Like I said, if you could pay attention, the perception two years ago was that this team was NOT re-building. After last year it is focking crystal clear this is a rebuild; what don't you comprehend about this? I never bashed you for your take on Crabtree's talent. Again pay attention. I bashed you for bashing Seahawk fans for wanting to draft him. You were lecturing Hawk fans on what was best for the team despite admitting that you don't follow the Hawks or know anything about them; that's what the bashing was about.

 

So the Hawks give up this year's 2nd, next year's second, to go along with the 3rd they lost in the Whitehurst deal, for a WR. Great. How do they fill the rest of the holes on the roster? Answer they don't. But they have a great WR.

Hawker is right on the perception of where the team is now and where it was during the 2009 draft. Also, Marshall is the highest paid WR in the game despite being one stupid decision from a 1 year suspension. I love the guy's ability (I've owned him in my FF league the past 3 years) and it would have been GREAT if they could have made it happen. But with the cost, the risk, and all the team holes I'm content with how things went down.

good answer. Also, I remember seeing you pushing for Bryant in this years draft thread, which would have cost 1 1st for an unproven guy vs. 2 2nds for a proven guy. Crabtree last year I can understand if the Hawks were not "rebuilding".

 

as far as backhanded comments and such, most of my early posts in this thread were legit. I won't go back and quote them but you definately took offense to my ideas regarding Marshall when there were no backhanded comments to be found. Any backhanded comments afterward were simply to rile you up

understood, although i believe he only has 1 league strike against him which was a 2 game suspension reduced to a 1 game so i wonder if he would really receive a year long ban with his next run-in.

I don't think I "pushed" for the Hawks to draft Bryant but had they it still would have been cheaper than Marshall and they would still have next year's # 2. This all about resources to rebuild.

[FlaHawker 24]

I listened to Rich Gannon on Sirius this afternoon. He says the Hawks will be right in the mix for the NFC West along with Zona and SF.

[Joey Gladstone 33]

Just read this over at fieldgulls:

 

Matt Hasselbeck on KJR 950[/b]From the site: "Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck calls in to talk about the offseason workouts, his beloved Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals and his twitter "argument" with former head coach Jim Mora."

 

Best quote: "...you dog John Carlson, I got a problem with you. John Carlson is one of my all-time favorite teammates, he's had an amazing off-season, and a very unselfish player. And this year, just because of the kind of offense we're running, we're going to be a very heavy 2 TE, 2 WRs, 1 back team: with really moving John around everywhere, making him a focal piece of what we're doing."

 

He also "calls out" Dockett.

 

I listened to the interview and Matt didnt really go into any depth. Was Mora really bashing Carlson on Twitter?! If so I hope the assclown NEVER works in the NFL again. This is football, not a focking high-school cafeteria.

No I don't think Mora was bashing Carlson. I think he read Matt's comment the wrong way about Carlson not being utilized properly by Knapp last year. Ol' Mora took offense to that.

So I guess Leon Washington should be good to go!!

 

 

What are you asking me? Who broke their leg? Oh, [Leon Washington] ###### me in Fantasy last year! Well, I don't know what kind of dog-###### prognosis ESPN gave it, but all he did was break his Fib-N'-Tib. I know that sounds gruesome at first blush, and for Johnny American it would be, but this guy belongs to the NFL; he will have top medical treatment. I would be surprised if he had any pain left in his leg at this point...A layman would say he had a "rod" put in his leg, but in reality an internal fixator is a thin piece of titanium...Speed loss? A fibula isn't a ligament jack ass, once the bones heal, it's solid: no weakening of structure, no loss of strength. Any lessening of speed would be purely from atrophy, and he would regain it through training.

Dr. Jon Hobson, orthopedic surgeon, on the nature of Leon Washington's injury, via my phone's Voice Memos. I asked him about it over a beer at Jake's Crawfish. Thought you fellas might want to hear it.

Kicking it for impact

Posted by Ben Malcolmson on June 9, 2010 – 10:09 am

 

 

During meetings and practice Tuesday, Coach Pete Carroll kept referring to one aspect of the game that’s “a really, really big deal for us.”

 

Two-minute drill? Third-down defense? The field goal unit?

 

None of the above. Try the kickoff coverage team.

 

“It’s such a cool part of football,” Carroll told his players on Tuesday morning, when the kickoff unit was introduced and installed for the first time this offseason. “It shows who we are and sets the tone for the rest of the game.”

 

It’s the kickoff team’s potential impact that gets Carroll so pumped up. Carroll and special teams coordinator Brian Schneider discussed how much of a difference a strong kickoff coverage unit makes on the tenor of a game — and then emphasized how they want the Seahawks kickoff unit to be the type that goes “all out, crazy as ever.”

 

“There’s not one guy in this room who can’t wait to see the kickoff team go wild,” Carroll said. “There’s nobody in here who doesn’t want that.”

 

And just how much does Carroll value the effect of a potent kickoff unit? During his nine seasons at USC, Carroll’s teams won 65 pre-game coin tosses, with the head coach electing to defer and kick off to start the game 100 percent of the time.

 

“Our standard isn’t normal,” Carroll told the entire team. “We’ve got to practice being great in this phase because it will be huge for us this season.”
