    What should have happened with this team

    I can't believe I clicked on this. What do you want with a post like this? A job in the front office? To be told you're right? You already believe you are, so what would it matter? I swear, we could lift another Lombardi next year and you'd be right there saying, "Yeah, but..." Criticism is one...

    Ethan Poccic named PFWA all rookie team

    I was excited about him coming out of LSU, and disappointed to see he didn't make more of a splash on the field. But I was also surprised we didn't plug him in at center, which seems like his natural position. And of course with everything coming out about Cable actually making players worse, I...

    Brian Schottenheimer

    I feel like we also need to tweak our demands on Schottenheimer as well. We had the #15 ranked offense (YPG) this year with no real running game. Our QB was our leading rusher. And I believe Chris Carson, who only appeared in 4 games, was still our leading rusher halfway through the season...

    Brian Schottenheimer

    Who could have been hired to make some of you happy? Seriously. I agree it would have been fun to roll the dice on an up-and-coming position coach, but that's no guarantee of success. Experienced, winning coaches don't drop from trees and wait around for job offers. And they don't make lateral...

    Poll: Predict the personnel moves if we made the playoffs?

    With the run game ranking dead last if not for Wilson's scrambling, Cable may have still been gone. Pete takes running the ball pretty seriously, and there's no excuse for our numbers this season.

    Seattle Times & TNT take on the hirings

    With a track record like that, why was Solari even available? Did he just get cleaned out with McAdoo? Looks like he's been bounced around the league quite a bit, actually.

    OL movements and adjustments under Solari??

    With all due respect to Fant--I have nothing against the guy personally--but I would expect almost any other O-line coach to ask what the hell a college basketball player is doing in his offensive line room. It's clear that Cable's logic was on another planet, so who the hell knows who Solari...

    OL movements and adjustments under Solari??

    I don't know what kind of chemistry Wilson and Britt have, but I'd like to see Pocic get some looks at Center, which he seemed good at at LSU. That would free up Britt to take a Guard position.

    Pete Carroll Consolidating Control over team?

    I'm confused, did Pete not have complete control before? I've never heard any reports of friction between Pete and Bevell, or any anecdotes about Bevell arguing with a direction Pete wanted to go in. And if the stories of XLIX are true, it was Pete's idea to throw from the 1, and Bevell went...

    Brian Schottenheimer

    Alright everyone just take a damn breath! I get it, it's not a sexy hire. But most of the sexy hires are looking at HC positions, not coordinator gigs. This was always the pool of applicants we were pulling from. And it's not the end of the world. It's hardly even the beginning of anything...

    Raiders hire Tom Cable

    Well, Gruden may not give him as long a leash as Pete did. If that run game isn't working within four games, I'd expect Gruden to kick in the door of the meeting room and demand answers. I'll bet he gets a single year to prove himself. But yes, good luck, Carr.

    “Rooney Rule” circumvented.

    Oh, boy, where to even begin with this. Suffice to say: being reductive is not the same as being insightful. And you don't get to decide where the story of race ends, lol.

    Ray Roberts interview on the OL, Cable, Bevell, and Ifedi

    With the high draft picks we've put into this line, it makes me wonder if they'll actually explode into the top ten in blocking under another coach. Can you imagine Chris Carson behind a good line?

    Biggest Challenge: New Talent or New Coaches

    I've got to go with coaching. I think a lot of teams would gladly trade rosters with us. We just need coaches to get the full potential out of it. Would I love another Marshawn Lynch at RB, or a Julio Jones at WR? Of course, but no team has stars at every position. As it stands, we've got a...

    Richard Sherman Calls Concussion Protocol "Absolute Joke"

    Employers hate guys like Sherman because they call out their BS. And y'all, a lot of employers are full of BS. Preach, Sherm. And instead of tut-tuting the guy, you should be calling out your own bosses. Just because you bend over at work doesn't mean everyone else--or anyone else--should.

    OC Candidates + Further Questions

    A resounding "meh" on Schottenheimer. Rams fans are already rooting for this. This may be the tier of coaches we're pulling from though. Any hot up-and-comers are already looking at head coaching gigs, so we're either looking at recycled coordinators, or promoting some diamonds in the rough...

    Why not Walt??

    I can't find it anywhere, but is he coaching now, or just saying he wants to coach? When Favre retired he got to work coaching back in Mississipi. Has Jones done anything like that? Or is he just expressing interest via Twitter. That's hardly a job application. Again, I'm not against the move...

    "Bevell couldn't be the bad cop Carroll wants"

    http://sports.mynorthwest.com/391124/on ... ll-wilson/ Lost in the news of the day was this interesting take from O'Neil who suggests that Wilson needs a more critical voice in his ear. “Russ wants to be criticized,” coach Pete Carroll said. “Russ needs to be criticized. He wants to be great.”...

    Zone Blocking vs Man Blocking

    I do. I do wonder why.
