Amen Brutha!
I appreciate how hard our Front Office has worked, and how elite they've been at acquiring, and coaching up talent while the NFL ignores John Schneider and Pete Carroll when it comes to awards. Frankly, I don't care about them, and I don't think Pete and John do either. I almost prefer it this way.
Yesterday I heard Heath Evans talking about what make Bill Belicheck so good, and he said "Bill can recognize talent, and what you do well, then he puts you in a position to succeed by not pushing you out of your comfort zone. He gets the most out of uniquely talented players."
And he does, but so does Pete. I think Pete's better at it though. He gets the players to buy in and they make themselves the best that they can be because they want to be, once Pete gets done with them.
I said it 4 or 5 years ago, players like Kam Chancellor don't have such wild success in the NFL if they are drafted by another team. Because the other 31 teams didn't see where his abilities lie, so wouldn't be able to nurture them. Want proof? Look at how good they are here, then how good they are when they sign somewhere else. Night and Day.
But back to the subject at hand, as a fan, I want to say thank you to everyone in the Seahawks facility from Paul Allen on down to the waterboy for doing what you do, and helping to make this team the best it can be.
And thank you to the fans that go to the games and scream their lungs out. Thank you to the fans that make such a great showing, along with a lot noise at away games!
Thank you to the fans that were there to meet the bus when the players came home from Carolina! You may be part of the reason that Earl Thomas decided to forego that Poor Boy, errr I mean Pro Bowl, and focus on 2016! Don't underestimate the effect that a welcome home has on a team after a devastating loss! Go you! :th2thumbs:
And thank you to players like Marshawn Lynch who worked their asses off so that they could give as much of their body as they could to help their team! We Love You!
Go Hawks! :icon_new:
