    Noah Fant - TE

    PFF hand Fant as the 11th best TE in the league going in to the 2021 season (which ended up being his best season so far):

    Noah Fant - TE

    Good call - I'd assume they trigger it but that's tbd? Will update the OP

    Lockett on the block now too?

    Much more likely DK gets traded - dead cap not an issue and if he's not traded we'll need to shell out massive $$$ to re-sign him. I'd guess we could get a top-10 pick for him.

    Noah Fant - TE

    I think people are downplaying Fant's value - he is a very young, very athletic, healthy and productive TE who fits well within Waldron's scheme and has a bargain salary for 2022 and a very reasonable 5th-year option for 2023. Age: 24 (b. 11/20/1997) College: Iowa Position: TE Drafted: 2019...

    Thoughts on switching to a 3-4

    Last year we had two of these massive NTs: Al Woods 6-4 331 Brian Mone 6-3 345 Neither of them cost much at all, and I expect both of them to be back. They are actually fairly cheap to acquire because they aren't much use against the pass. Poona doesn't fit the mold at 310 pounds but even he...

    Thoughts on switching to a 3-4

    Keep in mind this is just the base defense used on mixed down/distance situations. You can have guys on your roster that don't "fit" well in to a 3-4 base defense who can still play critical roles. Remember that Cliff Avril, Michael Bennett, and Clint McDonald were 3 of the Hawks' four best...

    Clowney? Yes Please.

    I think the fact that we will be doubling down on Bear fronts (call it 3-4 or 5-2) on mixed downs makes Clowney interesting because he can be effective at multiple positions. He played as both a 3-4 OLB and 3-4 DE in Houston and has been effective. He's maybe not heavy enough to play a ton of...

    Ken Norton Jr. Has Been Fired

    Are you objective enough of a fan to admit that Adams is not poor in coverage?

    Ken Norton Jr. Has Been Fired

    Don't get it twisted. I am not commenting on the trade or contract. What I am commenting on is the narrative that Adams is poor or even a liability in coverage. This is simply not true. I think most will agree that 2020 was an aberration for various reasons, but in 2021 Adams was good in...

    Ken Norton Jr. Has Been Fired

    Adams being poor in coverage is a false narrative driven by 1) anger about the trade, 2) a couple of weird seasons here that were marred by injuries, horrific CB play, and dramatically shifting roles each season. There is no historic evidence that Adams is poor in coverage, whether you look at...

    METCALF

    You trade him on one condition: You use a very large chunk of cap space to bring a ready-made replacement in free agency. You can give a $20M contract to Metcalf OR you can give a $20M contract to another player and get, say, a very high first round pick in return. The WR class isn't nearly...

    Ken Norton Jr. Has Been Fired

    Fangio would be great for Pete because Pete wouldn't have to spend so much time micromanaging the defense. We bring in Hurtt or a young coordinator and there are likely to be missteps and/or a learning curve. Fangio will come in and have a plan and know exactly what he needs to do to make the...

    PFF oline final rankings

    Lots of questions: 1) Do the Seahawks feel comfortable with bringing Duane Brown back to start at LT or do they need to upgrade and get younger? If the Hawks decided to make a move for a long-term starter (e.g. Terron Armstead) could/would Brown return as quality depth? 2) Same as above for...

    Dropping D linemen into coverage

    Yeah, that's fair. The problem is our pass rush in general sucked, so Pete and KNJ had to figure out what to do about that. If there was consistent pressure from the front 4 then I doubt we'd have seen as much of it, but unfortunately there wasn't for much of the year. The biggest error in...

    Dropping D linemen into coverage

    There is nothing inherently bad or dumb about dropping defensive linemen in to coverage. It has risks and rewards, just like any other play call. And just like any other play call, execution is important. There are plenty of examples from this season where it worked out well - and other...

    Penny's Running Style

    I think Penny has more top end but both have deceptive speed. Neither are blazing fast -- it's all about the angles. FWIW: Combine times, 40-yard dash: Shaun Alexander: 4.58 seconds Rashaad Penny: 4.46 seconds

    Penny's Running Style

    The Shaun Alexander comparison is a good one IMO, in terms of running style. Both are patient, excellent at reading blocks and pursuit angles, and maintain balance and control before they make their decisive cuts. Both have great vision and instincts and have excellent acceleration. Penny is...

    Jets get the 10th Overall Pick

    This topic (the trade) is so toxic that it literally makes me want to stop being a fan. It's the level of toxicity that has "fans" rooting against their own team's players for the sake of wanting their prior convictions validated. Anything good that he does is minimized (sack record was only...
