    49er Animated GIF Thread

    It would be epic to compile a Harbaugh music video, especially with his "spinning" sideline shot from today, to this song.....I would love to do this, but I am not nearly as talented as some on this forum You Spin Me Round

    Article:2013, 2005, or 1984--Greatest Team in Hawks History?

    Wow - just saw Joe Nash's height/weight. Weird to think that our NT that year (they played a pure 3/4 defense for a few seasons during that era) was essentially the same size as three of our linebackers this season - Wright, Irvin, and Schofield. If Bryant and Green were playing during this...

    Fight Hunger Bowl: BYU vs. Washington

    I think over the long-haul, UW will be in a much better position. The Sark regime were decent coaches, but much better recruiters. Petersen is a far superior coach IMO. I think the next 12 months may be a bit rough....UW is way behind in recruiting, and I think it may take a while to sort...

    Cheat sheet on UW

    Can't recruit? And you get this from where? Certainly Boise State has trailed behind most BCS and Pac12 schools, but they still have had a few years ranked around top 50 in recruiting, amassing a number of quality 2 and 3 star recruits. But he was recruiting student athletes to BOISE. I am...

    Chris Petersen is the new Washington coach

    I am VERY interested to see the impact on recruiting. Sark relied on Charisma and persistence, Petersen can rely on track record and "name". But I believe that with the same talent on the team, Petersen's coaching alone will help the Huskies win one or two more games. Reminds me of the 49ers...

    Chris Petersen is the new Washington coach

    Love the hire - great coach. Not as great of a recruiter but if he can keep some of the current asst. staff, they are known as really good recruiters and can help the process. The Huskies just got significantly better without firing a sitting coach. Thank you USC!!

    washington new head coach candidates

    Peterson makes sense - known experienced coach, strong NW ties and existing recruiting connections. Allows the team to appear to actually improve with a more successful coach. If he was able to keep Wilcox and a few other assistant coaches, he may be able to do very well in his first season on...

    Should we fear losing Dan Quinn to a head coaching gig?

    Kiffin would be a possibility - I could even see him take on a position coach job with the team (Like WR or TE) with a coach he trusts. I do not think that Quinn will leave after only one year, but Bevell is a possibility this next off season. But I really believe that just as the players love...

    Time to rest players and get ready for the Playoffs

    I agree that you should always compete, and play to win every week. I think one problem elite teams have had in the playoffs over the years is the tendency to "coast" once the playoff picture is secured. I see this as incredibly stupid. But I do think it would be VERY funny to play the 49ers...

    washington new head coach candidates

    Oops! You are correct! LINK I had read a report saying that Franklin had turned down the job. If he was open to the position, maybe UW would have a shot? He would be one of my top 3 choices

    washington new head coach candidates

    Another thing to consider - when UW was hiring the post-Willingham coach, the program was not only in shambles, but the facilities - stadium, practice and work out facilities, offices - were in shambles (or at least very very dated). The Huskies had thrown some rather large salaries around...

    washington new head coach candidates

    I agree with your assessment of the Petrino option 100%. And I can see many possible current HC candidates turning down the job, leaving Wilcox and Nussmeier as the last men standing. But you would HAVE to believe that they will make every effort to not be put in that position. They could go...

    Florio calls Sherman a "cheap shot artist"

    I know a few of these things have been pointed out, but a few comments about some things that have been said: 1) Once the QB leaves the pocket, receivers become blockers and defenders have every right to knock receivers down. Seahawks have made a living at this the past 3 years, and do this...

    Parrish Cox waived

    But wouldn't that be Shead's decision to sign with another team? Teams cannot just "pluck" PS players from a team like waivers - they have to sign with another team. Unless a team was willing to pay Shead more than the minimum (of which the Seahawks were already paying Shead), does not make sense

    I just tried a playoff simulation

    I tried it about 30 times, with a variety of scenarios - seems very random. Over 30 simulations, just about each team in the playoffs won an equal amount of times. Also, as you can see above - the simulator has strong internal bias. We were underdogs (thus the "upset" note) against the...

    Browner suspended a year for non-PED drug abuse per ESPN?

    No other media outlet has picked this up...all seem to be waiting for more info. The caution would indicate that Silver is off and premature here. Seems to be much more than Silver is guessing at

    Browner suspended a year for non-PED drug abuse per ESPN?

    Clayton and La Canfora are both better connected in NFL circles....my guess is Silver is wrong. The problem now is BB will be seen as guilty regardless of the truth. Slander?

    Pete is on Brock and Danny NOW (link)

    I think the real issue with bringing Shead up to the 53 roster will not be on the activation end. Currently as a member of the PS, Shead can choose to stay (the reason the signed to a high PS salary) or sign with any other team - the player is in control. Once Browner is healthy (assuming he...

    Contracts: 2013 through 2016

    I do not believe that the Seahawks will have to make any decision regarding Bryant or Mebane this offseason. Certainly they could be deemed replaceable during next Summers training camp as the cut down to 53, but I think there are few "no brainer" moves that will allow the team to sign there...

    Malcolm Smith

    Fieldgulls had written a great article on Malcolm Smith this Spring LINK It is clear that Smith has really worked on his weaknesses, allowing him to utilize his speed more. It was very strange during OTA's and training camp when they started using Smith at SLB....he just seems like a...
