    Russell Wilson moving forward

    I've been really worried about Rusell (sic) because I haven't heard him say, "Why NOT me?" in about 2 years. Sure sign he's getting soft. Where's the sarcasm font?

    Three Little Birds On The OL (Speculation + Optimism)

    I believe with Wilson in our offense, the second most important position is Center...I'm hoping they get Ryan Kelly at #26.

    NET Temp Time...

    I agree about passer rating differential...the thing is, I think the schedule will be a little more condusive to meeting that goal. I think there will only be 4 games that will be tough for our secondary...the Cards x 2...the Pats...the Panthers...and just maybe the Packers. That will leave...

    Three Little Birds On The OL (Speculation + Optimism)

    Firebee, you're a man after my own heart. I'm probably one of the few people out there who's as confident in our new O-Line as you are. Just a couple of things: I think Glow will be the RG. The other thing is that you forgot Nowak in the Guard competition...I think Nowak would have been a much...

    I love our current Offensive Line

    So if I'm hearing you correctly, the O-Line is not as good this year. Yet, you say: Glow is an upgrade at RG, Gilliam might be almost as good as Okung, anyone would be better than Britt, and an upgrade at Center would be great? So if we draft #1 Center Prospect Ryan Kelly at #26, and #3 Guard...

    Russell Okung signs with Broncos ($53m/5yr OR $5m/1yr)

    I think Webb or Sowell both would be a HUGE upgrade over Britt at LG. Gilliam, Webb/Sowell/Pick #56 or 90 (lots of really good OG's between #56 and #124), Kelly/Lewis, Glow and Sowell/Webb/Britt. Of course, with this young O-Line, there will be a REAL competition this year...no gimme's. I'm...

    I love our current Offensive Line

    This is the most important position on the line...the QB if you will. They should pick C Ryan Kelly at #26. If he pans out, he could make the O-Line an above-average line from Week 1. Then a Tackle at #56, best available...even if they season him for a year. Then a REAL Guard with our 4th round...

    I love our current Offensive Line

    Back in February, I started a thread here in which I said that they'd let Irvin, Okung, Sweezy and Mebane walk this offseason. They were not part of the plan, otherwise they'd have been extended a year early like the rest of their core players...they were simply no longer a good value. But the...

    Russell Okung signs with Broncos ($53m/5yr OR $5m/1yr)

    Agree with all of this...you're always the voice of reason. Change is exciting. I can still remember the drafts when we got our core guys. Many fans were unable to see the vision...if PC/JS hadn't been willing to take some huge risks, some of our core players would have ended up on other teams...

    Kam says he is not going anywhere

    I would feel a lot better if his Instagram said, "Sorry about last year 12's...I promise never to whine about money or hold out ever again!"

    J'Marcus Webb signs

    And yet they have no qualms drafting a 6th round guy in the 2nd round...and then they actually let him start for 2 seasons...would have been wiser to draft a DT convert in that 2nd round and stash him for 2 years. Britt makes me cringe. Just curious, who has a better chance of starting this...

    Is Anyone Else NOT Impressed w our Offseason Pick ups so far

    It's kind of like the difference between having a lot of draft picks vs. trading away a bunch of high picks for Harvin. This could work. Maybe if they sign 5 or 6 of these guys, 1 or 2 of them might stick.

    J'Marcus Webb signs

    Gilliam is ranked #63 amongst Tackles, one spot above #64 Breno Giacomini. There are another 13 Tackles ranked below that. Webb is ranked #48 on the same list. Okung is ranked #31 on the same list. One big difference, Webb and Gilliam both had 16 starts. Okung didn't. More importantly, Gilliam...

    J'Marcus Webb signs

    If they can pick up a good but inexpensive 3rd down RB in FA, they don't really need to draft one, but it might be a good idea given cap space and the fact that we don't really know yet how durable Rawls will be. 9 picks: OT, OG, LB, pass rushing DT, C, DE, RB, CB, QB

    J'Marcus Webb signs

    Yeah, he's just as bad as Sweezy, but I'm sure he's a lot less expensive than Sweezy.

    No OL experience/continuity next year...and that's okay?

    I agree that the "progress" up till now is a joke, but I have to say...I believe that O-Line is a good position group to save cap space and use it on defense. Given that Russell is our QB, it is one place where they can be thrifty. But last year was ridiculous. I love how people keep clamoring...

    J'Marcus Webb signs

    Think positive buddy. Both of these signings have potential. There are reasons why neither of these guys have excelled. Maybe the time has come for both of them. Maybe Gilliam will be the LT. Maybe they'll still sign Beachum or Okung. Either way, both of these guys have a lot more potential...

    J'Marcus Webb signs

    Not that it's a huge sample size, but Sowell grades out on PFF as almost as good as Okung last year. Webb grades well ahead of Gilliam and Britt last year. In fact, he's only a few points behind Sweezy. Both Webb and Sowell have higher grades at pass pro than run block. Stranger things have...

    Who will be the Hawks 2nd string QB next season?

    I meant serious problems with good judgment, not a serious drinking problem. I haven't checked any of that stuff. Just have to be really careful. I heard tonight that one of our RFA's that was on the Practice Squad most of last season and ended up playing in 3 games, Nick Moody, was just...

    Who will be the Hawks 2nd string QB next season?

    Isn't Dak the guy that just had a DUI a couple of days ago? I think I read that his draft stock could fall like a rock. I don't see them messing with him after the Derek Coleman and Johnny Football things. Too risky. Any guy who would do that less than 2 months before the draft obviously has...
