    John Schnieder Scouting QB Draft Pick Prospect

    Oh Brother. :roll: All this talk about the Seahawks looking to trade Russell Wilson, move on from him, etc.? No way. You know what I think this is truly all about? Knowing Schneider and Carroll (as much as any fan can possibly know those guys), I'd say this interest in scouting a QB is...

    2018 Seattle Mariners regular season thread

    Evaluating this team after 4 games of a 162 game season is a bit like judging the Boston Marathon after the first 10 yards. Admittedly, these are excellent signs. I have to admit I'm finding myself encouraged. I recall that 1990 Reds team -- they started off the season winning their first 9...

    QB Geno Smith Visiting Seahawks ( Signs With Chargers)

    Exactly right Hawk-Lock. Whoever comes in to be the backup QB is someone who hope never sees the field. If Wilson goes down, then yeah, the season would appear to be pretty much a wash. On the other hand... ask Eagles fans just how important Nick Foles was last year. Ask Bills fans just how...

    QB Geno Smith Visiting Seahawks ( Signs With Chargers)

    Well now ... you know, he COULD have some redeeming qualities. After all, he's from Georgia. Perhaps he's a good cook and makes a mean jambalaya or even a good shrimp gumbo. I mean, you never know.

    QB Geno Smith Visiting Seahawks ( Signs With Chargers)

    Just came across this ... http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/03/29/report-geno-smith-visiting-seahawks/ Still processing how I'd feel about the prospect of Geno Smith as a possible Russell Wilson backup. Hmmm. Not sure how I feel about that idea exactly.

    Why I'm excited for the future.

    Absolutely. And I said that with great certainty and confidence because I've learned over time that there are certain essential elements to NFL teams that win consistently. If you have these bottom line elements (at a bare minimum) you will be a successful winning NFL team. Those are: 1)...

    Interesting take on Ifedi & development curve for OTs

    :sarcasm_on: Ahhhhh ... if only we could have TWO centers. :mrgreen:

    Summer talk : Amara Darboh's potential and issues

    Take this FWIW ... but Brock Huard reminded listeners this week that outside of QB, probably the next hardest position to translate to the NFL is wide receiver. There is a huge learning curve often times. Why? It because in college, you only ever face a small handful of DB's who are truly...

    Why I'm excited for the future.

    I agree with you 100%. If there were any lingering doubt about the impact of that final play of SB XLIX, I'd say Luke Willson's recent interview pretty much confirmed everything we'd concluded and have been saying for years. That team never did recover. It really and truly was a broken team...

    Seahawks Sign DT (formerly of the Vikings) Tom Johnson

    Great stats ... and a great reminder for us all that in the right system and the right situation, a seemingly average player on paper can be highly productive. Scheme and how a given player is used coupled with a player's "want to" can have huge effects. The one thing that I keep hearing...

    Seahawks Sign DT (formerly of the Vikings) Tom Johnson

    I was listening to Brock and Salk's conversation on this heading in to work this morning. I tend to agree with Brock's take -- on paper, this appears to be a solid signing. He equated him (in this defense) to a Tony McDaniel ... or Alan Branch in terms of what he'll give you. He's a veteran...

    How long

    Yes -- granted. A lot of our current situation stems from talent evaluation and not really hitting in the draft like we did in past years. Our current lack of draft capitol is a big issue. I won't argue that whatsoever. That is spot on. NOW ... what do you do about that moving forward...

    How long

    Yes but to be completely fair ... same thing can be said of the harded nose approach as well (Belichick ... and of course guys like Bill Parcells before that). As noted many times by others, the Patriots have reloaded many times before. I think that what you're seeing with the Seahawks right...

    Bird’s Eye View (An Evaluation of The Team's Moves) ...

    Ooops! Got ahead of myself. I meant NPD, not BPD. LOL. Sorry about that. You were right. Fixed. Very last thing that I'd add here is that you're right Tusc2000 -- Sherman's desire to represent himself and his scathing underhanded backbiting "vengeful" comments are exactly the kind of...

    Bird’s Eye View (An Evaluation of The Team's Moves) ...

    This is the last comment that I’m going to make in this thread. Then as far as my part is concerned, I’m done as far as this subject is concerned. First of all, let me state right up front that people are quite welcome to have any flawed views of me that they’d like to hold. It’s not only...

    Bird’s Eye View (An Evaluation of The Team's Moves) ...

    As I've said many times, there is a large piece of me that likes Richard Sherman quite a lot. Richard Sherman the elite level shutdown CB is an AWESOME, amazing asset. It's just all the other baggage that eventually just gets too cumbersome to carry after awhile.

    Bird’s Eye View (An Evaluation of The Team's Moves) ...

    Yes ... to a point you're right. I will say that many true classic full blown Narcissists have learned the behavioral traits of empathy. I've sat across from some who have flat out admitted to me that they have studied people ... and know exactly what to do. I've had some who will tell me...

    Bird’s Eye View (An Evaluation of The Team's Moves) ...

    Precisely what I'm saying. As I said, don't take my word for it -- take his. He is about as textbook a case of Narcissism IMO as it gets.

    Bird’s Eye View (An Evaluation of The Team's Moves) ...

    Again what you're describing Seymour ... is yet another classic Narcissist tactic. Narcissists will often minimize the opinions and experience of others ... and pump themselves up. In general (though they may LOOK like they do) Narcissists DO NOT have true empathy for others. They don't...

    Bird’s Eye View (An Evaluation of The Team's Moves) ...

    Yep Uncle Si. What you're describing right there ... is classic Narcissism. Those are exactly the kinds of things that Narcissists actually do. They can cause an unbelievable amount of chaos. Trust me, I ought to know (as do the family members of those whom I've worked with as well). THAT...
