    Is Robinson next?

    I just don't see cutting Robinson, unless the blocking fullback is being phased out of the offense. None of the young guys can block in the same stratosphere. At some point we might reach critical mass where the TE/H-back takes on those more traditional fullback duties, but we're not there yet.

    DVR review Seahawks vs. Broncos

    I haven't re-watched the game yet, so you're review of the oline has me excited. I'm all for playing the best 5 as long as they're solid, so it's good to hear that McQuistan and Sweezy had good games. It'll probably take a lot for them not to be our starting guards. I am a little confused about...

    Just got back from the game

    Our D-line rotation isn't settled. They're still mixing and matching a lot, which I think has something to do with the hit and miss run defense. Red and Mebane are a terrific base to start with, but we're going to have to find a DT that can work well with them. Williams hasn't been the rock I'm...

    A Few Things...

    Heading into the game our top outside pass rusher was Benson Mayowa, a UDFA from Idaho, meaning we need our reinforcements back. I'm hoping Avril is healthy and ready to go by week one. I'm not jumping on that Thurmond train until I see him consistently cover. A pass breakup was a nice first...

    Schefter: Hawks among teams interested in K Dan Carpenter

    One potential worry about Haushka is how big of an injury risk he is. Maybe the playoffs were just a one time thing, but your kicker has to be there every day without a second thought.

    Miller activated off the active/PUP list

    Tremendous news. Pete Kept saying, "he's fine, he's fine," but Miller's health was my biggest worry heading into the season. I feel a lot better with a tangible move in the right direction.

    A quick thought

    I think when it's all said and done, Schofield is going to give Irvin a run for his money at the pass-rushing SAM, and I really like Irvin. Schofield looked very natural and dangerous blitzing off the edge. It's quality depth at least and I love the pick up. This will sound blasphemous, but I'm...

    Good SI article on Bruce Irvin by Doug Farrar

    We saw Schofield a little bit in the Nickle SAM role yesterday, but I am really eager to see Irvin. I hope he gets healthy.

    Random Thoughts™ on the Chargers preseason game

    As good a day as Bradford had, he was slow out of the gates. Not having Wagner available is a big thing to point to for the early run defense struggles. I'm also going to be easy grading the rookie DTs. They have a long ways to go before their anywhere near a finished product. If they can flash...

    Sources: Clint Dempsey to Sounders

    Ha, nice! I'm honestly trying not to tweak Timbers fans, as I like the good-natured rivalry but am not a fan of anything beyond that.

    An argument could certainly be made that paying the transfer fee is suspect, if that's indeed what happened. But...I don't know how many times this needs to be said, and it'll be my last time, but DPs enter the league differently. Both Eddie Johnson and Bocanegro entered the league as non-DPs...

    Interesting Tweets: Defensive Vet worried about losing job

    Yeah I just saw where he's making under a million this year. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets some starts this year, but he's probably not the guy.

    Interesting Tweets: Defensive Vet worried about losing job

    Tony Mcdaniel, or are we not considering him a paid vet?

    Kid/diapers? That actually makes me laugh a little. It's true I wasn't around in the 70's. It's also true that there are others more heavily invested in the future of soccer. I can respect that. No one will argue MLS is small time. The only people who seem to have a problem with that are those...

    A DP is not part of the allocation process. I'm sure if Timbers fans keep beating the 'it's not fair' drum it'll gain some traction down in Portland, but like them and their HGP signings everyone else will move on.

    MLS has been incredibly careful and smart with its growth. Almost every club has soccer specific stadiums now and cities are lining up for expansion. I don't think the league has ever been stronger and I don't get the ill-conceived perception part. Is it like English clubs believing that they're...

    Pulling off a move for Clint Freakin' Dempsey means it's been happening for awhile behind the scenes. It has nothing to do with Martins. And Hanneman is supposedly back and healthy at goalkeeper, so he's quality. We'll see what happens on defense, but I think Dempsey will at least facilitate a...

    Even during the height of the rumor frenzy I didn't believe this could happen. I mean, this is Clint Freakin' Dempsey. But AWWWWWWWWYEAH!

    TE Andrei Lintz(Wazzu)

    Miller...Miller...Miller... I'll feel better about the TE position when we finally see him back on the field. Him not practicing is the only thing really concerning me about the season.

    Let's Talk Mariners

    I just want to see the young guys continue to produce - Smoak, Franklin, Miller - and Saunders, Zunino, and Ackley show improvement. With that bullpen and back-end of the rotation I'm not expecting anything too different win/loss wise. A splash of Walker, Ramirez, and maybe Paxton in September...
