    6th Round, Pick #215, Joey Hunt, C, TCU

    His size is a concern, but the guy flat out got it done at TCU. Very smart and will be able to handle the line calls. He played 3 years at center, I think, so he has some experience. It looks like they are starting to draft guys to fit the offense we saw at the end of last year as opposed to...

    5th round, Pick #147, Quinton Jefferson, DT, Maryland

    He looks pretty athletic on his tape. Good pursuit, good instincts, seems to have good awareness. My one concern watching some footage is that he relies on that swim move a lot. I'm not sure that's going to work against NFL starting caliber lineman. I did see that he was able to engage and...

    5th round, Pick #171, Alex Collins, RB, Arkansas

    I'm great with this pick. Lynch is retired and Rawls was good, but what if the injury really affects him? We have such a small sample size on him. He looked great, but what if he regresses? E now have some great options. CJ is the pass catcher. This guy is the brusier. We needed RBs.

    3rd Round, Pick #90 C.J. Prosise, RB, Notre Dame

    I love this pick. The guy is incredible at setting up his blocks, you can see that on that reel. He has the size to power over people, the speed to get around the edge, and his pass catching ability means he can line up anywhere and create a matchup nightmare. He torched Clemson when they played...

    Carroll on Seahawks' offensive line: 'We're in good shape"

    Of course we teach chop blocking. They are gonna go to the ground 90% of the time anyways... might as well do something useful while they're down there. Haha. Seriously, I'm al for getting rid of it. It's dangerous and I HATED when I played d-line. I have a knee surgery as a direct result. Maybe...

    Another celebrity Seahawks fan

    I'm glad you posted the Gavin Rossdale photo from the Seahawks game. I've been a huge ban of his since I was about 10. When he posted that photo I asked him if he was actually a Seahawks fan on Twitter and he replied "long time fan." So there is that. Gotta love these offseason threads.

    DC Comics Mock Draft

    Shouldn't the Legion of Boom be intercepting Patriot misses? Lol

    Three Little Birds On The OL (Speculation + Optimism)

    My thought is that the o-line couldn't possibly be much worse than they were this past year. I keep thinking they are gonna pull a trade at some point.

    Kam says he is not going anywhere

    He had a down year for him, but 31 other teams would kill for his production... Even in his "off" year. Players do have off years. It happens. These players had made 2 straight Super Bowls so they had shorter off seasons to heal up. Throw in a a new DC and a holdout and a player like Kam has...

    $9m saving if we cut Jimmy Graham

    That's a good point about the offensive linemen. So many colleges use the spread offense. Our talent pool to choose from will greatly increase as they will be easier to evaluate. That plus lessening the learning curve will make it far easier to build that line.

    Back to back 10am games

    I don't understand the scheduling in the playoffs. The Saturday games start at like 4pm and 8:00pm Eastern time. Why can't they do the exact same thing on Sunday? They play 8:30pm games every Sunday and Monday night during the season. There is no reason to start one game that early. I understand...

    $9m saving if we cut Jimmy Graham

    Jimmy ain't going anywhere. He will dominate in this new type of offense. It really sucks that he got hurt when he did. I think we had just started to implement parts of the spread. You can't trade for him, struggle to use him, switch to and successfully run a system he could thrive in, and get...

    Kearse Teary-Eyed During Post Game Interview

    Kearse has REALLY won me over during this great offensive run. The last 6 weeks or so he has been good. Yesterday he was great. I was proud of the way he showed up and fought. I really really hope they find a way to keep Jermaine. He's the type of player this team needs. He cares so much. The...

    Wrong cleats

    I believe the Panthers used it as a tactical advantage. Whether it was planned or not, I don't know. They ran a ton more than usual. My wife even made a comment at some point "do they ever throw the ball?" Back in the day teams would grow the grass longer in some places to slow down faster...

    Weather in Charlotte Sunday

    I lived in Minneapolis the last 3 years. I moved to Spartanburg, SC about 8 months ago. It's about an hour south of Charlotte and where the Panthers hold training camp. I can tell you the wether here can never be as bad as an average day in Minneapolis. Thank God...
