Geno and DK on the outs?

Geno and DK

Troubled waters?

 

[toffee]

In case of a rebuild:

1. DK is one of the very few Seahawks that has trade value if we are going for a rebuild, DK will go.
2. Geno is a low cost vet QB with a year left on his contract. It would be wise to extend his contract on the cheap and have him for the next couple of years until our future QB is ready.

 

[Maelstrom787]

Players get frustrated so I'm not sure there's actually beef there. Regardless, we know DK to be highly emotional. This works in our favor, at times. It works against us at other times (and I'm not sure it'd ever work again without Pete there, as he was the type of coach that knew how to gas up a volatile player and juice their best play out of them).

I'm not sure that Mike is especially keen on DK's type. He craves discipline and structure. His comments about the INTs and calling them "Team interceptions" leads me to believe he was not a fan of DK blowing that route and causing that second INT.

If there was ever a time I felt like DK could be traded, it's this year prior to the deadline. The Chiefs make sense, and they've got two stud guards. One of them is 25, iron-man healthy, and a top-15 guard in the NFL easily - and they're about to have to pay him. Meanwhile, at WR, the cupboard is pretty much bare outside of Rice and some younger "potential" types.

I have never wanted DK traded. I believe he's a rare type of WR - the physical unicorn. I think great teams usually collect as many "unicorn" types as they can and try to marry them into a cohesive on-field product. If they do trade DK, though, it should be imminently, and hopefully we can get the Chiefs to cough up Trey Smith and a sweetener, say a third and fifth rounder.

After the game, Smith said he threw the pass, and it was a bad play by him. When pressed further about other plays, such as DK Metcalf's inability to land both feet in the end zone on a well-thrown Metcalf pass, Smith said, "Watch the film, man. Watch the film. You'll see it." That implies he thinks Metcalf could have done better.

Articles are increasingly starting to seem like, A) Shitty, piss poor click-bait writing by lazy ass "journalists", or, B) Shitty, piss poor A.I. generated click-bait articles by lazy ass "journalists". And I don't even know, right now, which is worse but I'm not ok with any of it. The moment I spot the bullshit, every subsequent WORD is rendered instantly pointless and invalid. We are SPEEDING towards a cliff as a species. And, yes, I am aware of how dramatic and hyperbolic that may sound, but at this rate our grandkids will not be able to assume anything in the world is genuine.

 

[hgwellz12]

Seattle needs to extend at least one of the players, if not both. If Metcalf and Smith are having long-term communication problems, though, that could imply they are not going to work well together for the next several seasons.

Word? I don't know, but that just seems like something a robot would say.

There's so many sports writers/analysts who knows nothing about the Seahawks and repeat old info that it's hard to tell if it's a human or AI

 

[James in PA]

Something has Gotta change. That's for damn sure. I'm done with the Geno experiment. Trading DK makes a lot of sense.

 

[Mizak]

It explains why Geno keeps force throwing the ball to DK. “Here bruh, catch it if you keep complaining about wanting the ball.”

knowing DK, he drops the ball/lazy ass route running.

 

[Fresno Hawk]

If we do end up rebuilding. Trading Dk will help, we should be able to get good value for him. There would be no reason keeping Geno if that's the case, might aswell start from scratch and save the money. These next 6 games will be telling.

 

[CalgaryFan05]

Indeed. All the sub-plot-dramas will either boil over or get addressed.

I'm to a fan go Geno. Sure, he's an Ok player but we can do much better.

 

[toffee]

The next three games will be telling. Will our players' spirit change from indifferent to fired up? Will our scheme on offense be more to the players' strength? We may face a total rebuild if no changes in the next three games.

 

[knownone]

In context, Geno is basically saying, "We're not executing well in general." He's not singling out Metcalf or anyone else in particular. Earlier in the press conference, he took the blame for the interception, where Metcalf likely ran the wrong route. So, the writer randomly connects two unrelated incidents and sandwiches them together.

DK is good but I just don’t think he is worth the money he will be demanding

 

[Glasgow Seahawk]

I've got a feeling we'll trade DK rather than pay him and try put as much resources as possible on the o-line.

He's good but not elite good.. I still cannot believe how bad he is at high pointing
the ball and the lazy route running is unacceptable to me.
Is that how the game is today, just play when you feel up to it?

I felt like it's hard for anyone except the coaches and players to judge if a route was executed right or wrong. I know for sure that I can't tell if a WR ran the wrong route or he was delayed a split second by a CB or the QB throw the ball too early or too late etc.

One thing me as a fan can sometimes tell would be if a WR was open.

You know who was good at high pointing?

Golden Tate!

Yes!

How many super bowl winners pay their receivers mega contracts? I can't think of too many. The Chiefs don't. I'm not sure how much Kupp was making for the Rams but guessing it wasn't near the top, not sure Mike Evans was at Tampa.

Feel like these days its trenches, pass rush, QB to get deep in the play offs and I think thats why teams like Seattle, Dallas, Arizona fall short by spending too much on the skill positions.

Baltimore never really has great receivers….Mac will likely follow this same principle!
