https://twitter.com/dannyoneil/status/2 ... 4944481280Quote: #Seahawks have activated Walter Thurmond to the 53-man roster. w00t! Would like to think this move will help kill some of those underneath zones and ratchet up the takeaways. Can you imagine this secondary becoming even BETTER? I do wonder how much of his deep speed he has left.

That made my week. Thurmond is, imho, one of the best slot defenders in the NFL once he scrapes the rust off and the slot is one of the most productive positions there is for teams like New England. This will pay dividends this year  _________________ Joe Vellano, DT, 6'1", 300lbs, 61 tkls 14 TFL, 6 sacks" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nc_yzeVi-eU, Mike Catapano 6'4" 271QB Jordan Rodgers 6'1" 212# 2539 Yards, 60% completion 15td/5int

Seems like Johnson did very well last week in stopping those underneath plays. Does that bump him or do they keep him in there? I like what he does at the pseudo LB position. He's big enough to cover a TE and fast enough to cover a WR. I worry that Thurmond is one play away from going back on the IR.

"I do wonder how much of his deep speed he has left"
He's coming back from a broken bone. I don't see his speed affected much. Now if it was an ACL, MCL, PCL type thing, then yea, it takes some time.
Pete also mentioned that he looked very quick and it was obvious how much hard work Thurmond had been putting in. I kinda got that Pete was a bit surprised he was in decent football shape from his tone.

Sweet!
Has there been much word on how he's been in practice? Full speed or not?
Once he gets back in game shape it'll be big for us I think. Hope they don't rush him, I remember Roy Lewis last year coming off the pup and playing against the Ravens and getting shredded early on.

Looking forward to seeing him back on the field. First round talent, seventh round health.

Good news. Have we heard who will be waived yet?

Will it tempt fate to wonder if a pool should be started guessing how long till he's injured again?  _________________  "John Schneider is...half ninja assassin, half shark. This man does not screw around...So glad he is our GM." - PGunning101
