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

    I might need a couch myself were I to do so. ;) I'll respond in general to folks and those who've commented above. As I said in my initial post, I love Richard Sherman the player (who he was for this team, all he did for us, etc.). There was a lot to like and I'm massively appreciative of...

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

    This is the first post that I’ve had for awhile, as I’ve really wanted to sit back and evaluate the situation from afar … listen to all the analysis … and watch what actually happens. Now that the dominoes have started to really fall, it appears pretty clear from a big picture standpoint what’s...

    Dave Canales to QB coach

    This hire definitely caught me by surprise. I'm not saying that Canales won't necessarily turn out to be a good QB coach for Russell Wilson ... but I'm certainly scratching my head, trying to figure this one out (and I know just about everyone else is as well). Like a lot of people, I was...

    Still a problem for players

    Yes it is Montana ... because in continually FOCUSING on that 1 play ... and not being able to move on ... Bennett and other players remain stuck in the past. They are focusing on a moment of failure ... rather than on success. Our failures in life are often times the greatest opportunities...

    Still a problem for players

    Yep. As I discussed at length in my response above ... this is just flat out not helpful anymore. In fact, this continual scab-picking is actual far more harmful (not helpful) at this point.

    Still a problem for players

    I'm going to come at this from a completely different angle here. What Michael Bennett demonstrated for the guys at NFL network is that CLEARLY many guys just flat out CANNOT get over that Super Bowl Loss. And I believe firmly that what they are doing by continually re-hashing it in their...

    New QB coach ? speculation

    Exactly -- and Zorn was an excellent QB coach for Hasselbeck (a RH QB) when he was here before. With his resume (AND the fact that he's a Seahawk through and through) -- sign me up man. Make this happen.

    New QB coach ? speculation

    Uh, yep. I actually watched Zorn play. I never said that Zorn was All Pro or anything. I don't know why being LH matters (so was Steve Young). All I was saying is that there are SOME (and I stress some) similarities in styles (Zorn was mobile, just like Russell ... and like Russell, Zorn...

    New QB coach ? speculation

    I've been expecting the hammer to come down on Carl Smith, and I'm a bit surprised that it hasn't already. Jim Zorn would make a ton of sense not only from his experience as a coach, but also as a player. Zorn was like Russell Wilson in many ways -- a mobile elusive QB with a good arm. And a...

    Pete Carroll Consolidating Control over team?

    I dunno about this being all about Carroll hiring "Yes Men", him needing total "power and control" and all of that. That's one way of looking at things I suppose. Another is the idea of assembling together a staff that actually appears to have a unified vision. These last couple of years...

    Brian Schottenheimer

    I wrote the following about Jimmy Graham a couple of weeks ago ... http://www.seahawks.net/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=145145&start=50 I stand firmly by those exact same comments. Nothing that's happened has changed that opinion. In fact, Pete bringing in Brian Schottenheimer has only cemented that...

    Mike Solari is back as Offensive Line Coach

    Dude, yesterday I made the comment (in light of what Ray Roberts said) that what this team REALLY needs ... is to bring back a bit of what it had when Howard Mudd was coaching offensive line. In Solari, I think the Hawks honestly may have recaptured a bit of that. He KNOWS NFL Offensive Line...

    Mike Solari is back as Offensive Line Coach

    Nah. I actually this is a fairly solid hire. Solari's been around the block. Think about it -- the dude's been coaching NFL offensive lines since 1981 (37 years). He's steeped in both man and zone blocking principles. He's coached offensive lines that have paved the way for guys like...

    Ken Norton Jr. as DC after all?

    WOW! Now THIS is a bit of a surprise for me! (but a pleasant one for my part). I know that people are going to be down on him due to his experiences in Oakland ... but I for one was not happy when Norton left. I LOVE the attitude -- the FIRE that this guy brings. He was a real asset when he...

    Okay I Admit...Delayed Depression Is Settling In

    Alright. I'll chime in. I'll fully admit -- here's been my problem: As I've taken a look at these NFC playoff games, the predominant thoughts that have been going through my mind are: "Really? Seriously?!? THIS is the best that the NFC has to offer? [Whatever team it is, it's like] We...

    Offensive Line Coach options

    Alright guys, if you don't mind, I'd like to put in my .02 and provide a little direction to the conversation. In 2017, these were the top 10 teams in terms of rushing yards gained from scrimmage ... 1. Jacksonville 2. Dallas 3. Philadelphia 4. Carolina 5. New Orleans 6. Buffalo 7. Minnesota...

    Brian Schottenheimer

    Levine and I don't see eye to eye about Bevell ... but the rest of the article -- totally spot on IMO. Great points. Love this ... Nah Aaron, many fans I think would look to hire Merlin ... only to fire him later because he's an old dotard in their opinion, then move on to hire Harry Potter...

    Brian Schottenheimer

    Well, let me answer that by putting it this way ... QB's under Greg Knapp Steve Young (1998) Jeff Garcia (2000) Michael Vick (2006) Matt Schaub (2010) Carson Palmer (2012) Peyton Manning (2013-2014) QB's under Schottenheimer(I've highlighted the years where he was Offensive Coordinator) (2001)...

    Clay McGuire OL?

    Personally, I'm going to say No. I'd rather not. With the state of offensive lines throughout College Football being ridiculously poor in general, I'd personally rather go with someone who has a strong NFL pedigree. Listening to Ray Roberts validated everything that I'd been seeing for some...

    Brian Schottenheimer

    Thanks ... and I'll add what I added on to my comments above. As I read the Patton Richard Piece that Maelstrom787 posted above, I see a lot of my past self in Schottenheimer's attitudes there. BUT, I'm personally not that same guy anymore. In that piece, Scottenheimer was 38 years then ...
