    Thoughts?

    I don't love the gadget plays with Milroe either. It would be fine if our starting QB was struggling and we were trying to spark a stalled offense. However, Darnold was lights out today; 4 TDs, 82% completion rating, 135 QB Rating, 95+ QBR. The last thing we should be doing in high leverage...

    That 4th and 1 Play

    To be fair, no inside runs are going to look good when the left guard is being driven into the backfield as much as Zabel was on this play. Those kind of learning moments happen to rookies when opposing NFL vets ramp it up in key situations. In 10 months Zabel has gone from playing Mercer and...

    "They Took A Dream"

    This continues to be the textbook example of Outcome Bias. It's fine not to like a play call, and for Seahawk fans this is easily the worst outcome one of our plays has ever had. However, if that play had succeeded then no one would be criticizing it years later. In fact, it might have faded...

    Seahawk's RBs Injury prone

    It's normal to feel like whatever NFL team you are following has bad injury luck, particularly at a position like RB. Much of that is negativity bias. You feel like players ought to be healthy, so if some are healthy and others are injured then it's the latter set that seems newsworthy and...

    Inside Training Camp

    Walker's a ~7m back playing for 2.7m cap on the last year of his rookie deal. We could trade him for a 4th but you want depth at RB. In my view Walker is the kind of player we should be trying to work out an extension with. He's 24, his reduced availability lowers the price tag, and the...

    POLL: Are You A Draft Grumbler?

    That's completely reasonable of course. You watch college football and form opinions about players. Discussing those opinions is interesting, particularly when they are different. I wouldn't have picked an oft-injured TE at #50 as the heir apparent to our oft-injured veteran TE. Now that...

    POLL: Are You A Draft Grumbler?

    5th option for me; the draft is a crapshoot and "grading" it immediately is just an exercise in restating your previous opinions. Nobody knows if the guys we are picking are going to hit, including Schneider. Of course that view doesn't generate clicks or radio talk. Training camp this summer...

    Four picks one OL selected

    In my view our first three picks were serious needs. The zone LG we never replaced in free agency, a DB who can cover TEs, and a big target with great catch radius who can get open downfield. Those are roles that we needed, even though iOL/S/TE are towards the bottom of the positional value...

    O-Line talk is "lazy narrative"

    I agree with this, and in my view that's why extending players is a key part of the equation that we've been missing the last decade. Once Damien Lewis became a UFA it was sensible to let him walk. His cap hits the next three years for the Panthers are 14.5m, 16.75m and 16.75m and his...

    Mock morons

    It doesn't make much sense to root for specific positions in my view outside of the top few picks. The other teams are smart too, and when it comes to our selection at #18 we'll get a reasonably fair choice between overall player ability and positional value. If a highly regarded player is...

    Season ticket rate increase

    Right, but we do get one extra preseason game and we all know that is just as valuable as a regular season game.

    Seattle to get 3 compensatory picks (projection)

    IIRC we traded a 2025 4th round pick for Ernest Jones, a 2025 5th round pick for Leonard Wiliams and a 2025 6th round pick for Trevis Gipson.

    Good writeup MM/State of the team/Offseason hints.

    Exactly, Pete Carroll would never have fired the offensive coordinator he brought along from USC after the very first season when he thought it wasn't working.

    Seattle to get 3 compensatory picks (projection)

    I've been critical of the FO on many issues lately but managing comp picks well in 2024 was a good move. The draft is essentially throwing darts at a dart board and quantity is the way to discover quality; the more picks that you have the more chances you get to find good players. The part I...

    Move Christian Haynes to center!

    You do know that Pete was still here when we drafted Charles Cross? The guys that I listed are the ones we drafted last off-season without Pete in the building.
