Derrick Coleman has made the 53 man roster

@Eric_Edholm: Great story in Seattle as FB Derrick Coleman, who is legally deaf, (sources tell me) has made the Seahawks' initial 53-man roster.

 

[HawkFan72]

Good for him. Hope he does well!

 

[McGruff]

He's the guy I noticed most the first preseason game . . . Glad he made it through the gauntlet.

Might be a big factor in why MRob was cut. Some of these cuts are interesting to say the least....

 

[Throwdown]

He's deaf????

 

[Fuzzman55]

Good story, great special teamer. Still not sure about the move.

 

[Shadowhawk]

He's deaf????

Legally. He wears hearing aids during games and can hear a little bit, but he has a significant impairment.

 

[FlyingGreg]

Awesome...rooting for him.

 

[Largent80]

What?

 

[MizzouHawkGal]

What?

It like the movie the "Replacements" I guess that would be an advantage at the Clink.

I wounder if he has 'heard' the news?

 

[hoxrox]

Cool, is he good at run blocking?

 

[salukihawk12]

Great story, but MRob will be back after Week 1

 

[McGruff]

Cool, is he good at run blocking?

No, but its not like we are a run first team :sarcasm_off:

In all seriousness, MRob was a below average run blocker when he got here. I hope and trust Coleman to make strides in that area.

 

[TwilightError]

He plays well for a blind guy.

That's messed up. LOl

Great story, but MRob will be back after Week 1

He could probably file an ADA claim that he's allowed to have the speaker helmet reserved for quarterbacks. Reasonable Accommodation and all that. The NFL would be hard pressed to deny it.

Coleman beating out Robinson is something that precisely 0% of people would have predicted in the spring. Ware,
maybe. NFL is a crazy thing.

Take a look at an image of Coleman. He looks beastly to me.

Coleman, Bradford..... beastly men.

The staff will train these guys. Carroll is going for physical dominance.
