This team tends to make one stupid singing every year. So this year I think will be giving a TE 10+ million.

But more often than not, this team has a real solid eye for talent. Along with the ability to find guys that fit into THEIR system.
I feel this way too. The only bad feeling I get is from a quote from a player that stated his heart is not in football, just for the money. I don't think a name is attached to the quote so it means little, but enough to make me sorta uneasy.theENGLISHseahawk":2p4m2ql4 said:Thomas would be a fantastic signing.
Thomas stretches the field, Percy did not and we didn't use him that way.Basis4day":29fwi0sd said:Hawk-Lock":29fwi0sd said:Hawkfan77":29fwi0sd said:Think about an opposing defense having to worry about the threat of Lynch, the threat of Russell taking off and running and now adding the threat of Thomas running a seam route?

I just had to comment on this....your post reminded me so much of when we got Percy.
Every Seahawk fan....."Can you imagine how much defenses will have to worry about Lynch, Russ throwing or scrambling, and then Harvin on the outside!"
But yes, i agree, Lynch, Wilson + JT would be pretty lethal. Ideally we would like to get a WR on the outside to open things up even more.
Stole my response.

I'm not sure what you're arguing. I never said we'd be unstoppable I said itd be incredible. You're bringing Percy into this because of something someone else said 2 years ago. Thomas would be great for our offense, why is that so wrong to say?Basis4day":bz53pzj2 said:Its the same argument so many made with Percy. The jet sweep read option with Lynch up the middle and Lockette and Richardson running go routes on the outside to stretch the field would make the Hawks offense unstoppable.
That was the "nightmare" scenario thought of by fans. Thomas next year is the same argument.
Having a threat at TE would be great, but lets be realistic. No team is unstoppable.

Teams know they have a chance to shut down Seattle's offense by stacking the box and selling out to stop Lynch and pressure Wilson. They aren't worried about getting burned in 1v1 coverage.
You put Thomas on the field line him up at TE and then split him out wide. The other team has to take a linebacker out of the box, or the strong safety. And the best thing is it isn't just a decoy. Thomas is a 250lbs wide receiver. You could throw it out there.
You can even run 11 personnel to keep the extra blocker in there if you want. If he doesn't split wide he can run the seam and create a mismatch.
Getting a TE like this take attention away from the pressure on our OL and demands extra coverage or consideration. Remember how uncomfortable you were watching KJ or even Kam lining up vs Gronk? Imagine seeing other teams squirm like that. It's what you get from this.
Then imagine if they got a really good receiver at #31 or #63 too. This could be some offense.
