Does this mean no Trufant Bowling Classic this year?

TruFan23 · May 7, 2013

Sad to see my favorite player go, good luck Tru!

Thanks for everything Tru! Not the best CB ive seen but he had a couple great seasons and always gave full effort.

Best of luck this season in Jacksonville and retirement. Hope ur younger brothers do well except against the Seahawks!

Glad Gus game him at least one more season.

Thanks for everything Tru! Best of Luck!

Trufant was one one of my all-time favorites. Was hoping he'd retire a Hawk. Glad I got his autograph at VMAC last year.

Now what do I do with my framed/autographed Trufant jersey? Or my autographed mini-helmet? Or my autographed Trufant clock?

Don't know about you but I will wear my Trufant jersey proudly.

:th2thumbs:

And I hope we don't miss his sure handed tackles.

Bye Marcus, thanks for the memories. One I remember was him flying down the sideline with an INT for a TD in the Wash. playoff game 2007.

Click to expand...

Before the back injury, there was a good stretch of 3-4 years where you could make the case Trufant was the most dangerous guy on the whole team with the ball in his hands. Think he only wound up with 2-3 TD's in his career, but any INT he got where there was some space to work with, he always came within a few hairs of breaking it - very Golden Tate-ish. I've always thought that if Holmgren had taken some chances and used him on PR or some trick O plays, he could've really been electric.

One of my favourite Seahawks, would have liked him to retire as a 'Hawk but hope he is a success at his new team - he has 2 TD's from interceptions and he is that brilliant one vs Washington

And then there were none.

With Trufants signing and the earlier designation of Hills number to Avril the last of the 2005 XL Seahawks is gone. In fact at present there are only 4 players on the 91 man roster who were not picked by this regime.

Thanks for you service Marcus you will always be a Seahawk to me.

Trufant also isn't a good fit for the Nickel slot/Zone. He's always been much better on the outside, where I suspect he'll have a better shot at playing in JAX.

Nothing but best wishes to him. Tru has been a rock on & off the field for this franchise, community & entire frickin' state for almost 2 decades.

Man, that's what having a bulldozer collapsing the pocket does for your secondary... what a play... it's what we were missing last year and hoping we have on a consistant basis this year.

Oh ya, so long Marcus. Always a fan.

No more Trufant Dogs at the games

I never would have guessed.

Good for him. His chances of making this roster were slim at best. There he has a chance to play and teach.

Is Bradley going to run our system? People always say Bradleys system and the Leo but we know its Petes. Is he taking it or we don't know?

sutz · May 7, 2013

I think he'll be a great asset to a franchise on the rebuild.

Best wishes, Tru and thanks for all the memories.

Don't forget to come back and retire here, though.

Zebulon Dak · May 7, 2013

Great dude, good cover guy, great open field tackler. Thanks for the years Truf! Good luck in JAX!!

Spokane · May 7, 2013

Does Trufant make the Ring? I would say no, but its very close.

I am happy the guy gets to keep playing, one of our all time best DBs!

3Girls'HawkDad · May 7, 2013

Fair thee well, Mr. Trufant

This is the first year since '99 that Truf hasn't been playing CB for my teams.

Fair winds and following seas, Tru! Hell of a player for us over the years. People say he's washed up, but I think a lot of that is caused by extra scrutiny on a very good defense. And I'd think he might just be an upgrade on a very bad Jacksonville team.

425HawkSpark · May 7, 2013

Tru was only good maybe 3 yrs other than that he lets the WR catch the ball and gets a tackle. He is a Jag now. Why is this not moved to the NFL forum. I have seen stuffed moved for less.

kigenzun · May 7, 2013

I've worn Trufant's jersey proudly for a decade+. I have 5 of 'em. He has been a cornerstone for a long time, both on and off the field. I am sad to see him go.

Best wishes Tru.

strange that Gus Bradley would want to take the weak link from the Seattle D to Jacksonville

unless he knows something fans don't...

The Jags have a ton of rookies in the DB department they need a vet with a work ethic. Tru can teach them to be pros.

XxxZagnutxxX · May 7, 2013

Good luck Tru. You represented our team well. Thank you.

Sac · May 7, 2013

Good luck Gus Bradley!

And Tru

Goodbye, Trufant. (Jags signed him)
