I don't know...

...looks older now, I honestly question his game shape, and when did he play for Minny?

I'm happy about this. He had raw talent and a lot of heart. Collins might work out, I just don't see any drive in him, just kind of going through the motions. I will say that our back of the future is not on the team yet.

Pope's numbers in 2016 pre-season games were pretty comparable to Thomas Rawls #'s in the 2015 pre-season games...He showed a lot of heart & grit...Good to see him back, but I'm not going to get too excited, well, at least not until I see him make it onto the 53.

Unfortunately, I think he secretly colluded with the Saints.

I'm not gonna complain at all if his intensity proves valuable to our rushing game. But I'm also not going to be surprised if he just...kinda sucks. He's been cut from two teams now.

Michael was cut from 3 and finally ended up serviceable and productive so you just never know.

He looks like he could still handle a full workload if called upon.

Yes! we got our pre-season stud back! the same one who excelled with the NYJ

Holding off my expectations for this. Honestly im more excited about the potential of Prosise in this offense then any of the other RBs (non actives and actives)

Pope isn't some savior who immediately is going to boost our run game to high level but it's still nice to have an intense player with decent potential waiting in the wings.

Going on the facebook Seahawks posts you would of thought he was Barry Sanders by the way he torched the 2nd/3rd string defenders in preseason.

I am in the camp of "hes a guy that was cut by the NYJ so im not holding my breath"

I like Pope's running style. I wish the more talented C-Mike ran like him.

This is good news, lately most of the real news from the team has not been.

I wonder what this means for Rawls, and all the rest of the RB contingent?

Practice squad RB Troymaine Pope said he's happy to be back with #Seahawks. Felt like Jets didn't have a plan for him.

edit: it is apparently FB George Farmer (ex USC) who was cut to make room
