I would love to see a Sherman Browner Winfield Thurmond Thomas vs Green Bay 5 wideout matchup. We are just so deep in our secondary. It is a beautiful thing.

James Carpenter. Maybe it was the draft day Saban shock when he sat at Engrams table and Carpenter was selected. Maybe its because I think he's an out of shape fat bastard and I laugh when Carroll says "game shape", like Carp even remembers what that means. He looked like he was sweating signing his contract on seahawks.com he was so fat. I don't know, maybe the fact the dude is always hurt and can never achieve game shape? Maybe its because he sucked as a right tackle, as Charles Barkley would say he was TURRIBLE! I also get the impression he doesn't want it. He reminds me of another SEC guy and former Seahawk...Chris Spencer. A guy who was great in college and had all the tools but was too stupid and lazy to utilize his talent. Carp better get it together quick because I'm not so sure the Hawks will pay him 1.5 million next year to hang out at the Golden Corral.

Rant over, done with this fool

Wow. That post was ignorant. Not you. But the post.

Teqneek · Jun 7, 2013

I mean come on give Stonecold a break... That Alabama team was HORRIBLE... and Nick Saban is known for letting his players slack off and be severely lacking. Especially in those national championship games and senior bowls. That team couldnt run for crap over the left side could they ....

My dog eats better looking tuds than that post

You and Tical have such wonderful attitudes I wonder if you're going to fall over dead in February when we win in New York?

Never type when angry.

You don't make sense when doing so.

Ruminator · Jun 7, 2013

It is not we who need to make personnel decisions. It's John S., Pete C., Paul A., et al. Thank goodness for that. Imagine being quick to let Carp go only to watch him dominate for years on another team.

...because Saban is a terrific evaluator of NFL level talent right?

Largent80 · Jun 7, 2013

There is a difference between a player with no talent and one with tough luck injuries.

I am glad they are taking their time with him, and he could be the road grater we need.

It is also good that Bowie is getting some time in there.

onanygivensunday · Jun 7, 2013

To a degree, I understand Stone Cold's frustration with Carp.

From my knothole, Carp came into rookie camp overweight and out of shape. By my estimate he came in carrying 25-30 lbs. of excess fat for a 22-y/o offensive lineman. That's on him.

Yes, he got injured and he needed time to recover... twice. That's clearly not on him.

My frustration starts with the fact that he still looks to be overweight. I don't see evidence of a commitment to keeping his body ready to play NFL football. That's it... there, I've had my say.

I'm just disappointed in him thus far.

Atradees · Jun 7, 2013

Is that good news?

If Thurmond beats out Winfeild?(injury)

If Bowie starts over GiacoMeanie?(rookie)

If Carpenter suits up? (bust)

Hawknballs · Jun 7, 2013

Its funny this is top to bottom the most talented team the Seahawks have ever fielded by an indisputable long shot but people still go out of their way to rant and rip a few guys who haven't proven themselves just yet.

Natethegreat · Jun 7, 2013

Count me as another fan who has little to no confidence in Carpenter ever remaining healthy or being a factor for this team. Like others have stated he just doesn't seem to have a whole lot of drive to stay in shape and I think the injuries continue. Thankfully this team will be fine without him.

He's hired the same dietitian/chef that Okung uses, she comes in and cooks for him, and I'm assuming teaching him how to eat correctly for an athlete.

He also posted a picture on Instagram where he's wearing a jacket, says a month ago he couldn't even zip it up.

He strikes me as a guy who's never known how to eat or cook, so he just eats crap. But he has the resources now and he's making an attempt to learn how to eat and train.

I don't think it's wrong to criticize the one area a lot of people felt was our major weakness in OLine. RW was running for his life most games.
