    Liz Mathews: Avril could be out rest of season

    I don't think they're being cagey, I just think they honestly don't know yet. I'd surmise it's pretty damn serious when Pete keeps saying they have to do some tests to figure out which direction to go. Also his mentioning Avril's future, family and quality of life going forward is pretty...

    Future Hall of Famers

    Think you're spot on with Thomas and Sherman, and if he plays at this level, Wagner. Wilson and Baldwin won't get in as we don't pass it enough, and haven't passed it enough to start their careers. Lynch might get in if he makes some statistical milestones, but I don't think he's doing...

    OT Branden Albert works out for Seahawks

    Fant's still on the roster. Odhiambo is basically a rookie at LT. I think he's already playing better than Fant was last year. I also think it's more of a depth move. Pete won't sign Albert and have him come in and hand him a starting job. Plus, Albert would have to get in game shape. I...

    Frank Clark

    Clark is younger, I can see him starting over Cliff while Cliff starts to get some more rest as he gets older. Would probably prolong Avril's career a year or two, if he comes back. On that strip sack, look at the other DE: Goff gets hit, knocked forward a half of a step, and runs right into...

    Seahawks experimenting with Jimmy Graham on Offense

    I don't have a problem with him lining up at the Y, but they need to break up the reps. It doesn't make sense to keep Graham in blocking when: A. it drains him of explosiveness having to push against DE's and LBers the entire game and B. he's better off of a safety valve, which is hard for him...

    PFF: Ifedi has best game of season, Others not so much

    Freaking Aaron Donald. Dude's a beast. Might even be better than Sapp in his heyday. How about Graham with an 82 blocking grade ?! This makes sense about Ifedi. Sure he played last year, but at Guard. Tackle is different and there's going to be a learning curve. Seeing an upward trend is a...

    A look into 2018 from a contracts and cap space perspective

    Well, two things: 1. Graham is worth the money, IF we utilized him correctly. You saw this yesterday, and last year's playoffs against the Falcons. Instead of lining him up as a Y TE on the 3 yard line, thus letting teams hit him with a LBer and keep a Safety over the top without fear of...

    That's Seahawks football!

    Oh I agree 100%. The thing that sticks in my mind is that they rang up 375 yards off offense, and we got 5 turnovers. It's not realistic to expect 5 turnovers the next game out. The thing is, this defensive front with these guys give our guys fits consistently. We knew it going in. Typically we...

    No, not a great win...A GREAT WIN!!

    I thought this would be a loss unless the team showed me something. The offense struggled, but they never looked beat down like in Rams games past. The defense looks like it's gelling and they hopefully have fixed their run fits. The optimism is that the defense looks like it's rounding into...

    We have a running back problem

    The only problem we have is that the coaching staff can't seem to figure out that Lacy is the slowest back in the league to the hole. We need to save him exclusively for the 2nd half of games when defenses are a step slower as well. He's our closer, not our opener.

    A look into 2018 from a contracts and cap space perspective

    The low hanging fruit is easy: Joeckel isn't work 8 million. Lacy is gone, he's just too slow to the hole for this OL. I'd like to resign Graham, but not at 10 million. He'll likely get it, but he's not worth that to us. Cut Lane as we have guys that play that well already on the squad. Also...

    Ye Of Little Faith!! -- 6-2, One Down.

    You're right in that Jacksonville is going to be a much tougher game than we originally thought. You're being a Debbie Downer about the Giants though. Their season is officially done and I think McAdoo has lost that team this year. Their OL is worse than ours, they have no WR's left and Manning...

    Weekly fire Bevell Wishful thinking

    Typical exaggeration. Britt is a good Center. Richardson is showing he's a legit #2 WR when he stays on the field, and Lockett is as well. Graham is still elite, we just don't utilize him correctly and play to his strengths. Oh, and there's that cat, Russell WIlson. Funny how you can...

    O-line

    It was actually a FA LT and Center. This allowed them to move some guys around that were playing out of position. I'm more dismayed that they shifted their OL so much and then came out looking so polished. We can never do that. Oh, and ask the Panthers how being weak at Tackle can affect them...

    Last defense stand

    That's actually a good thing. Coleman wasn't with the team all off season and hasn't gotten a starting amount of game reps this season outside of one or two games. I'm optimistic he'll get better with more reps and familiarity with our starting defensive personnel.

    That's Seahawks football!

    It's been at least 3 years since we've had a "clean win" over the Rams, and I don't even know how long since we've dominated them at their house. Any win is a good win over the team that has owned us the last 3 years. Look at all the flukey wins that Fisher got the Rams to pull off against us...

    How to fill the Avril void

    First off, we don't even know if Avril will be out the full season. Unlike McDowell, who is at home resting and getting reevaluated, Avril is traveling with the team. It sounds like they can't tell how bad the injury is, so they're taking it very cautiously. Pandion has it right when he was...

    Marcus Smith: How discarded Eagles first-round pick is .....

    I've seen him speed rush plenty. I just have never seen a counter move or good hand usage out of him. If he's listening to Bennett, he'll get the hands down. Bennett and Richardson are two of the best hand fighters in the NFL.

    Aros' Fearless Prediction Thread (Seahawks @ Rams)

    This is actually a difficult one to call for me. On one hand, the Rams offense is legit. Avril being out is going to be a problem. Gurley is having a good year, and we're having a problem stopping the run game. Advantage Rams. On the other side of the ball, the Rams DL always owns our OL...

    Game Of The Year?

    We need to win this game for two reasons: divisional win, and upcoming opposition. I really can't call this game. I get that the Fisher vibe is gone from them, and their defense is showing it. I don't think it will be a defensive throttling like they used to give us. The problem is that no...
