good article! I can't wait to see Harvin with the Seahawks. I remember getting just as excited when we signed Burlson (who won several games by himself due to his return prowess). Though I think Harvin win have more of an offensive impact.

Our offense is going to be scary good. So many different dimensions to it.
I would hate to be an opposing dcoordinator.

The fans of the other NFCW teams are trying very hard to minimize the Harvin trade by counting on the following issues.

Injury
Locker room disruption
Salary destroying the team.

That's it... That is their game plan to stop the Seahawks offense with Harvin. Not a single one of those fan bases has an actual on-field answer to the Seahawks new toy. PCJS just gave one of the better and certainly more consistent offenses a "power-up".

Harvin will not have a huge workload in this offense, but his contributions will be massive just by simply being on the field. With RW under center, Harvin is going to get far more production out of those touches. He is joining an offense that was virtually unstoppable in its current form when the season ended. By that I mean that regardless of the defense they played, RW and company figured out a way to get in the end zone.

I'm not one for winning paper championships, but this offense was legit pre-Harvin. It was already formidable and instead of switching out players, PCJS added one, very versatile piece.

That was just the offense....

OK, I'm STOKED....or sto-ked as the cell phone commercial says.

 

[FlyingGreg]

Hard to believe this is the same offense that looked so BLECH (at times) the first half of last season.

Talk about a quick transformation.

I'm sure hoping at least 50% of all the things the pundits are saying about the Seahawks comes true. Because with all the laudatory comments we are receiving right now, my god, we gonna be good.

 

[zayden185]

We are loaded....PERIOD!

 

[Hawkfan77]

You know, outside of getting RW, this Harvin thing could be the biggest thing the Hawks have ever done to improve the team. It is obvious he wasn't happy in Minny for whatever reasons he won't say, but I am betting on it being the QB position. He started by having Favre throwing the ball to him and has had to deal with TJack, Webb and Ponder.

Harvin is coming to a locker room with guys like MikeRob, Wilson and Lynch. Guys that won't put up with any BS. United with Rice and Bevell, people that he knows. We are getting the best of Harvin and surrounding him with great leadership. Seattle was the PERFECT destination for him and he will not take it for granted.

That's right!

Great writeup! As a former Seahawks Scout, Bucky always writes good stuff about the Hawks.

One of the many things I love about Pete and John's philosophy is that they go after players that are unique, multiple and dynamic. OL that can play both guard and tackle, a safety with the speed to play CB, another safety with the size to play LB, LBs that have the speed and size to play DE, DEs that can play both inside and outside, etc etc. Percy is the perfect example of that. There are so many ways we can attack defenses from the same formations it's stupid. It's hard not to get too carried away with the potential, but Russell is going to have a legendary year. A full offseason to work with his WRs including most all the reps in training camp, in an offense that was averaging 32 points a game the second half of last year??? :shock: :0190l:

The irony is these players aren't even particularly unique. They just appear that way because there's an overall long-standing distrust and bias against the whole of players who have made dramatic shifts in position in the middle of their early playing careers (among other things). It makes them seem less note-worthy to those taking note and thus seem less numerous than they likely are.

ET, Kam, KJ, Russell, Sherm, Browner, and Percy are all pretty unique.

And I doubt how true that really is. Whatever quality you feel is making one of those guys more unique than someone else, it has as much to do with the cultural context a given player is playing under as it does with the player himself. For example, RW is thought to be unique because of his success despite his height, but plenty of QBs have had that alleged limitation and still been successful (albeit much less so at the pro-level). The truth is RW isn't unique. He just happens to have strong innate athletic abilities and to be trained in pursuing meaningful goals centered around those abilities (oh and the dude has really, really big hands). Perhaps even more importantly, he happens to playing in a day in age where people are more aware of the benefits of being pragmatic about such alleged concepts like his height "problem", and he happened to be noticed by another meaningfully-goal-oriented, strong-aptitude-following man of a slightly different skill-set in Schneider. The moral of the story is RW is, above all else, fortunate for having the opportunity he has and having the skill to take advantage of it, but that doesn't make him, or any other player you mention, unique. Lets praise our guys for what they really do well and not some subjective, contextual mumbo jumbo.
