    Who will the Seahawks cut?

    I think metrics are totally overblown these days. Bobby's lost his lateral quickness, leaving us helpless against short passes over the middle. We need speed and he don't got it. If they can sign him to a veteran minimum contract to play in obvious short yardage run downs, I'd be alright with...

    Who will the Seahawks cut?

    I'll be surprised if Wagner is re-signed and even more surprised if he gets more than an occasional snap. He's an all time great and we love him. But he doesn't really belong on the gridiron anymore. This is not uncommon. How many times have we watched former greats stay too long. Sometimes a...

    Trade thought

    If they want to give us something for nothing, I'm all for it. I wish it were that easy.

    Trade thought

    If the Bears were crazy or stupid enough to offer us this trade, Schneider would take it. If he didn't, he'd have no business being a GM for any team. Trouble is, no way it happens. Imagine what a haul it would represent for Seattle, which could turn around and trade Fields on a rookie...

    Who will the Seahawks cut?

    I hope you're wrong. I'd rather tear down and focus on a rebuild than trying to carry on with continued mediocrity. I see no point in that. Zero. The only way to unmortgage the future is to take some hits. When you're in a hole, the best way out is to stop digging.

    Who will the Seahawks cut?

    Adams Diggs Mone Dissley Myers Geno (unless traded -- should have cut him last week unless we're sure he's tradeable) Lockett (unless he re-signs at a reduced salary, which should be encouraged)

    Jason Myers

    When he had the LOB, and Lynch and a young Russell Wilson, he was great. And he built that team. But he didn't keep up with the times. The game changed and he didn't. Even with all that talent, he was never a good on-field coach. He was a good culture creator. But strategic decisions were...

    Jason Myers

    I remember when Pete cut him in favor of Janikowski, thinking it was so "Pete" to take the seemingly sure but always unimaginative option. Since then, Pete insisted on unimaginatively overpaying Myers. Always clinging to what he thinks he has. I was so done with Pete by the time he was fired...

    Geno’s Back

    You can win a Superbowl with an average QB surrounded by an amazing team. You can win a Superbowl with an amazing QB surrounded by an average team. But you need one or the other. Which way is more likely to lead to success in the relatively near future? Hard to say. The basics in my book are...

    Geno’s Back

    I don't particularly want a 9 or 10 win season, only to get blown out in the wildcard game. If we don't have a team that make a deep run, I'd rather dump bad contracts, absorb cap hits, give young guys a lot of playing time and maximize our chances for 2025 and beyond. We've done enough...

    Geno, or no Geno?

    To me, this falls under "What do you expect him to say?" "I was Pete's boot licker."? I'm sure they worked together but the ultimate call was always Pete's. If you watch Pete's last press conference, it's clear the shift was significant. "It's your team now." We don't know how differently...

    Geno’s Back

    They won't be looking to lose. I agree with that. However, I don't think they'll be willing to continue to mortgage the future, the way Carroll did these last few years. I'm not just talking about the Williams trade. I'm also talking about the restructures that pushed salary into future years...

    Geno, or no Geno?

    I don't think so. Schefter is well connected. Those hints don't come out of nowhere. He's essentially saying the Hawks weren't letting him go for nothing but they're open to offers. He didn't necessarily say they're not open to keeping him if they don't get a good enough offer. On that point, we...

    Geno’s Back

    Maybe. If we don't trade Geno, it will leave me questioning Schneider's judgment. I don't see the value of running Geno out there again in 2024. Another mediocre season under a mediocre QB gets us nothing but a year older and a year closer to having to pay the guys on rookie contracts taken with...

    Given enough time? Like by age 50?

    Geno’s Back

    I'm not in the league. Obviously just a fan. But I don't know it. I think it's a huge leap to assume we'd draft Penix just because we have his college OC. Or that we even necessarily take a QB at 16. I think it's a good bet we'll draft one before the end of round 7. Beyond that, I can see a...

    Is it possible OC runs with Lock?

    Did you watch the San Francisco game recap? I saw lots of nice throws there.

    Seahawks Officially Announce Coaching Hires

    Have mercy, brother. You're making me hungry. And reminding me of good times in English and Irish pubs from London through the English countryside to York and Ireland from Dublin to Dingle. Got to get me back to Europe sometime.

    I find your perspective a tad arrogant.

    That's not what I saw. Or this guy over at the QB School:
