    Seahawks release Al Woods

    Yep. Totally fair point. But glass half empty view would be to say that any DL we sign has been unsigned for just as long. But it’s clear that the front office assessment is very much in agreement with what you’re saying.

    Seahawks release Al Woods

    No. You’re right. Timing and vision are more what confuses me than the decision in a vacuum. Give it some time, and things will likely make more sense.

    Seahawks release Al Woods

    $3.5M was the cap hit for Devin Bush. So I’m not sure what kind of player we’re going to get for the savings. That aside, I’m just struggling to understand the vision. I completely understand getting younger. But I would have assumed this move would come after the draft or after a...

    Seahawks release Al Woods

    Yup... Officially confused. I understand that he was old. But we have no starting nose tackle. Would've assumed they'd at least hold onto him until after the draft? Seems like tearing a gaping hole in the roster for less than $4M of cap savings? Why not just restructure Diggs or Lockett to...

    Jalen Carter stick a fork in him

    Fair enough. I took issue with the word lazy and maybe looked into your meaning deeper than intended. I’ve seen a lot of pretty harsh dismissals of a young man based on the arrest and the pro day when I think there are extenuating circumstances. I don’t think this is a Jachai Polite situation...

    Jalen Carter stick a fork in him

    You don’t become the most dominant player on the most dominant defense in the most dominant conference in college football, by being lazy. Football players, no matter how good, are allowed to have a human experience. Do we question Tom Brady’s commitment to football when he skips training camp...

    What is the forum's opinions on Mazi Smith?

    Reeds a good comp. But I see more pass rush and less of an anchor against the run.

    Jalen Carter stick a fork in him

    Except on film, all I’ve seen is fire. Taking up triple teams to free up pass rush, chasing plays up and down the line, etc. Again, gauging “fire” off his pro day is like gauging someones job performance the day before a funeral. (His plea deal wasn’t done until the day after.) We get fooled...

    Hawks sign Julian Love (Safety)

    John and Pete are acting like they did in the early 2010s. Just adding talent to the roster wherever they can. They've spoken about improving the front 7 and they have, but I think there is also a philosophy of just admitting the roster isn't on a contending tier yet. So if Julian Love can be...

    Trade up to #1??

    Carolina saying they are willing to trade the pick feels like a wink and a nod to the NFL to drive up conversation and ratings. You don't trade up unless you're going to take a QB. No matter the external narrative--selling ownership on a trade up to trade down seems like a job killing move.

    Jalen Carter stick a fork in him

    This is where I land on Jalen Carter. He's young and enabled. He's going through the ringer in the media (right after riding high from a second championship.) He's been arrested, he's had legal issues, and I think it's normal for a young man in his 20s to lose focus. But (as the video below...

    Hawks bringing back Jarran Reed

    Still really want Poona back. Mone is hurt and Woods is old. Need some depth at Nose.

    This draft will be a Bust.

    What would you (QWERTY) do to make this draft not a bust?

    What about moving up to take Stroud ?

    Stroud compares in both play style, mobility, and arm strength to Geno. They’re not identical, but very similar. I think Stroud has a slightly better arm and is slightly better off platform, but Geno is better in the pocket and has a better feel for when to run. But why trade up for what you...

    Given Genos deal what do you want now?

    1) Anderson 2) Carter 3) Trade Down If none of those happen, I’d want them to take the one of Young, AR, Stroud that is still on the board. There is no other non-QB worthy of a Top 5 pick outside of Anderson/Carter. If for no other reason, the QB you take at 5 is trade bait 2-3 years from now...

    Worst case: QB

    I would say AR has some variance to his accuracy but a lot of his statistical accuracy issues are due to lack of chemistry with his WR. You’re going to hear him ripped for the Vanderbilt game but he had numerous major drops by his WRs in that game and moments where he clearly wasn’t on the same...

    Worst case: QB

    I doubt it'll come to that, but: 1. You count on one of Young, Stroud, Richardson falling to you at 5. 2. If they don't fall to 5, you look at a Jake Haener or Aiden O'Connell. 3. You pursue a trade for Trey Lance, Justin Fields (Depending on what Bears do in the Draft), Skylar Thompson...

    Jalen Carter wanted in connection with car crash that killed teammate

    Right. Beat me before my edit populated. Judging this based on the situation as it stands today.

    Jalen Carter wanted in connection with car crash that killed teammate

    These are misdemeanor charges likely to result in a fine and some community service at most. With 2 months for the news cycle to churn, I doubt this does anything more than knock him from the first non-QB off the board, to the second. Edit: Given the situation as it is today. If more is found...
