    Can Russel Wilson become an Elite pocket passer?

    Peyton and Tom's quick release is exactly what Pete would cancel out with his insistence on explosive plays and time intensive deep routes. They aren't just stuck with our offense and defense, they're also going to be limited by our coaching philosophy. Newton, Rodgers, Brees maybe could have...

    Can Russel Wilson become an Elite pocket passer?

    Manning or Brady would have broken apart like glass behind our line. We're not a OL that can give either of them time, considering the defenses we played. They'd already be retired, if not paralyzed.

    deep crossing routes

    Maxwell isn't infallible. He's started what 8 games now. He's still developing as far as I'm concerned, given his injury history. But you can talk about the Hawks being susceptible to quite a few throws. But our guys know the weaknesses as well. They'll figure out what's happening in a hurry...

    Can Russel Wilson become an Elite pocket passer?

    We've seen where we were with a good defense and mediocre QB play. 7-9. So you have to ask yourself, who carries who? Was the 2012 defense so outstanding it equated to +4 wins on it's own? If not, what else dragged us out of mediocrity?

    Thoughts & Expectations from the following players...

    RB Christine Michael - needs to break into the active roster, if he's Lynch's successor, I for one would like to find out while there's still rookie contract to benefit from. CB Tharold Simon - snakebit with injuries like WT3 and BMax early on, I suspect we won't be seeing his number much. DT...

    Can Russel Wilson become an Elite pocket passer?

    I don't want him in the Brady/Manning/Brees/Rodgers club. Their time is coming to a close. Russ is cutting edge, the elite dinosaurs might be replaced by Luck, if he doesn't keep intercepting himself out of the conversation.

    Does maxwell have slot experience? (hypothetical)

    looked like DT was mismatched on LB coverage to me. Kam was responsible initially but Wagner took over coverage as DT crossed over to Maxwell's side.

    Does maxwell have slot experience? (hypothetical)

    Considering Kam blew DT up on the second offensive snap of the game, they moved him all over the place. 12 for 109 for a 9.1 avg. (rounded up) most of the yardage on a garbage time TD catch and a considerable amount of catches after our D could lower their intensity and still win. That's sort...

    Hawks 2013 D better than Ravens 2000 D

    Not at all it's easy to miss such things. Appreciate your hard work on this.

    That Kurt Russell video presentation of the team...

    Is a good laugh especially giving the Donkey's "When the Levee Breaks", spent the whole game smiling at the lyrics "going down, going down now..." Prophetic.

    Hawks 2013 D better than Ravens 2000 D

    I like the comparison, I think the Hawks should be mentioned in the same company as the best all time defenses. But I had a question about that league wide point stat you used. Did you account for league expansion? For example 4 teams have been added since 1985, that's 2 extra games/week were...

    Because you slightly overreacted to an initial opinion and aren't a GM any more then I am. There's as many ways your model wouldn't work in practice as there is mine. Emotional arguments to the tune of I hate Sherm help immensely. Maybe it's so focused on Sherman because I want to deny Maragos...

    Seahawks Could Lose All Their Free Agents...

    So not extending him and franchising him is preferable to shopping him as a trade possibility pending a fair contract and picking up some needed draft capital? Even though the former is far more of a slap in the face and sends a message that players on the team and around the NFL will view with...

    Except that 2nd tier of CBs below Darrell Revis at least a few years into their contracts, aren't they? If the salary cap increases, then future contracts are going to reflect that increase. So, how much better is Richard Sherman than the likes of Bailey, Carr, Finnegan, Joseph, Hall, and...

    Exactly. I don't know how she still is around, I reported her all night.

    Seahawks Could Lose All Their Free Agents...

    Elite doesn't look as elite anymore when you have a bad support system. This is a team game. It's lazy analysis to arbitrarily proclaim one more elite than another without touching on the situations both had to deal with. Sherm declared himself not even the best in his own secondary, gave Earl...

    Our secondary specifically lost in 32 seconds in Atlanta, erasing RW's almost historic comeback. Heads rolled. Oh wait, only ancient Trufant's did. Plenty of players choke the Super Bowl. Just watched a first ballot Hall of Famer look like Tony Romo in one. Hey Sherm's pretty good, but to...

    Seahawks Could Lose All Their Free Agents...

    Asante Samuel in his most dominant years, Randy Moss at his best ever, Wes Welker setting records, Ty Law, Richard Seymour. All walked the FA plank. Sure, most of them declined sharply after leaving, in their Patriot years, feared and elite.

    Seahawks Could Lose All Their Free Agents...

    They have to tread carefully all these years to stay out of salary cap hell, while turning about 80% of their draft picks into homerun starting calibre players, with bargain basement FA's to cover up any mistakes, all while attempting to at least make Super Bowls, and win popularity contests...

    Seahawks Could Lose All Their Free Agents...

    And the Patriots core guys aren't overwhelmingly in their secondary and spread out pretty well into both sides of the ball, you know, so both are equally effective, and injuries don't completely decimate them. You don't say a franchise QB is going to eat a large part of the cap. We'd have been...
