Thanks for the link, good read indeed.. question.. i keep reading different articles on him, where one will list him at 185lbs, others like this one Carroll is saying he's 197lbs.. does anybody know what his weight is ? just curious, there's a big differnence between the two reported.

The Seahawks are a great team in large part because Pete knows how to identify intense people and relentless competitors. Harvin is one of the most competitive and intense skill position players in the league. That would actually be a potential problem a lot of other places, but here it's a big plus.

That said, maybe I'm crazy but it felt like Pete was the driving force behind that trade, and I think the reason why is something we haven't talked about much but probably should.

Earlier this offseason I studied trends in what a "John Schneider" WR might profile as, based on who he has targeted in the draft both in Seattle and under Thompson in Green Bay. I came away from that thinking that Percy Harvin would be the epitome of such a WR. It made all the sense in the world for Seattle to pursue Harvin the profile they have pursued before.

Seattle is a team built for overpowering other teams, regardless of those other teams' skill or preparation or coaching. I'm afraid Jeff Fisher is a better in-game decision maker and Harbaugh a better game planner--but Carroll assembles a set of personnel that crashes over them in violent, angry waves, ripping apart their plans and scattering the remains out to sea, to quietly fall beneath the serene, implacable deep blue inevitability of our dominance.

:laugh: That's pretty common for all players. Some places list their draft weight, some their camp weight. The truth is, their weight will vary wildly during the season, perhaps as much as 10% or more, just on water retention and dehydration during games.

I take all player weight listings with a large grain of salt.
