The final 53 this year is going to be rough. Not so much the WHO as the NUMBERS we keep of each position, which is going to influence who stays.
-- Do we keep 4 or 5 RB? This will determine if Ware makes it.
-- Do we keep 6 WR? This will probably decide if Harper makes the team.
-- 9 or 10 DL? Mayowa is a fringe guy...he doesn't have a spot if they only keep 9.
-- LB... if we keep 6 it's "most likely": Wagner, Wright, Smith, Farwell, Schofield, Bradford or Lotulelei. And that's only until Irvin returns from suspension after Week 4, which means another move will have to be made here.
A lot of intriguing moves coming.

But he's 31 and slated to make $1.7 mil this year and next. If Bradford and Lotulelei keep bringing it, I can see him being an unfortunate cut.

But I did notice him coaching up the special teamers at the practice I attended, even though he wasn't suited up. I think they really value his professionalism and value. A lot of inter-connected decisions this year. _________________ @SeahawkGreg"I will be thrilled with 10 wins.... If we win 14 games, I will tattoo my nuts green and blue!" -- 13thMan

Ware didn't impress me much. Coleman looked better. I would rather go with an additional DB or LB. it is easier to find a decent RB than DB or LB. guys like Beanie Wells are still unsigned and could be picked up in an emergency. Cut down will be painful regardless.

Yea, Harper vs Williams might be a cut, as might be Ware vs Harper or Williams. Given the emphasis on the run game and being physical in the run game, I just don't see Ware getting cut, but would there even be carries for him?
We are gonna lose some good talent in the secondary, thats for sure.

Ware looked slow, indecisive, and couldn't break any tackles. Ware was a bit better in space but downright awful between the tackles. Was not impressed at all.

This is how it should be EVERY year on a team with championship aspirations and high expectations. Thank you, John Schneider and Pete Carroll. Though the cuts may look tough on the outside looking in (and perhaps they are), we should be delighted this is the case.
Of course it's still early on making calls on locked roster spots. It's one game. There's lots of considerations. For example, while Chris Harper may not have flashed as some did in last nights pre-season game, did anyone watch his blocking from the position? In that bubble screen to Arceto Clark, Harper was a factor in that yardage. He's a big body at WR and if he can move bodies out of the way for the emphasized running game, that adds value in the 53.

Speaking of blocking... Tate is maaaaaan Tate reminds me so much of Hines Ward. Here's to hoping Tate has a similar season to Ward's 2002.

Of course the best example of that was the Sean Lee de-cleater last season..but I notice it a lot with Golden, he's always looking to put a hat on a bad guy. _________________ @SeahawkGreg"I will be thrilled with 10 wins....

We are gonna lose some good talent in the secondary, thats for sure. You might have to change your avatar or risk getting the Seahawks a 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike hulking.  No joke though, if anyone didn't hear the recent No Fun League rule additions. No saluting, No Hulking, none of that. It was on NFL network this morning. I can't find a link. Chad Johnson couldn't function even if he could get into the endzone.

Looks like Sidney Rice needs to find a new celebration.

Bradford and Lotulelie make it and Farwell gets cut. Too much money for an over the hill special teasers when we have good to great guys like Lane and Coleman who are younger, cheaper and more versatile.
Coleman will make the team over Ware. Ware will make the PS.
Rice, Tate, Baldwin, Kearse, Williams and Harper all make the team.

No way they cut Ware.

Both of those players can fill in and play when needed on the field...Farwelll is marginal as a LB.

Harper and Williams will both make the team. I think Harvin winds up on IR (remember they can come off that list early now).

We're not lacking STers, and Farwell has no upside on defense. _________________ <A>

Ware was alright.
But if you think about it, if we carry Lynch, Turbin and Michael, there is practically zero chance Ware gets any playing time anyway (even if BeastMode gets injured). May be we can stash him away in the training squad and hold him as a backup for Robinson instead...
