Harvin's Return, "just around the corner"

[Basis4day]

Percy has got to be DYING to put on pads and suit up. I say get him in AS SOON AS HE'S READY, and have him full go before we get back to the CLink. He need to be a full participant by the time he gets 'home'.

Maybe he is. But I wouldn't make that assumption. When he first had his hip examined, he had a professional opinion that had he taken it, would have allowed him to play, but he chose to go get a second opinion which recommended surgery and 8 weeks off and he chose to accept it and went against our team's medical staff. There is the possibility that his heart isn't in the game. Only time will tell.

I honestly don't know what to say outside of thats ridiculous.

How can you fault Harvin for this? All players have an interest in extending their careers. We're 5-1 without Harvin and have weathered our injuries far better than expected. It is equally as likely that getting the surgery now will extend his ability to contribute to the team long term.
None of us are professional football players and can understand the mental and physical toughness required to play this game and i find it selfish for fans to second guess the medical decisions the players make.

Just imagine Tate on one side, Harvin on the other.... Screen pass to Tate for 7 yards, screen pass to Harvin for 8 yards, Baldwin 8 yard slant, lynch up he middle for 7 yards, read option RW runs for 13 yards, and finish with a 25 harder to Rice who everyone forgot about was on the field. Lol.

It's gana be some fun Sundays when Harvin returns and they start clicking.. I say then the Seahawks will be doing rock-paper-scissors for touches and tds.

No, it's more like:

Lynch up the middle for 4
Pass to Harvin for 2
Incomplete pass to Willson
Punt

----

Lynch up the middle for 3
Pass to Tate for 9
Incomplete to Rice
Lynch to the right for 5
Lynch to the left for 3
Incomplete to Rice
Punt

----

Wilson to the right for 19
Lynch to the left for 14
Incomplete to Rice
Pass to Harvin for 8
Turbin to the left for 1
Punt

I will take this in a positive sense.. 3 punts and 5 tds.. Not a bad day!

There's no way Harvin comes back this week with such a short turnaround time. The Cardinals are treating today like a Wednesday in terms of game prep, I'm sure the Seahawks are doing the same.

I'd say Week 8 is more likely given the 11 days to prep for the Rams.

 

[SilkMonkey]

Week 8 is the soonest; I could see him being on ice until Week 9 though.

Far cry from our worries after the surgery word came down that we'd lose him for the year.

 

[Blitzer88]

MAn I hope so, we need something to give this offense a kick start. Although Bevell needs to step up his game or getting Percy back will be moot.

I don't know what to say here... I mean, someone tells me I can play on it, if I still don't feel right, I'm asking someone else. There had to be a level of discomfort that led to it being looked at to begin with. I'm not going to throw Percy under any buses or make those assumptions until I see the finished product.

That's my point. I am not assuming that Harvin's heart isn't in the game, but neither am I assuming that it is. There is some evidence to suggest that it isn't, and it goes beyond his decision to seek a second opinion on his hip. Like you, I want to wait until I see the finished product before I decide which one it is. He's going to have to earn my support. I'm not one to blindly drink the Kool Aid.

This post is a ridiculous way of looking at things. This POST is. The post.

Actually, I thought it was pretty good satire.

That'd be fantastic, if that's how Bevell called plays. Instead it's usually goes failed play-action, 3-yard run, 10-yard Wilson scramble, swing pass for 2 yards, 4-yard run, dropped incompletion, punt.

I am not faulting him for seeking and going with his second opinion. I don't know the exact specifics of his injury or what he was told by the doctors that advised him so I am in no position to pass judgement. I'm merely pointing out that his exclusive decision to sit out all of training camp, all of the preseason, and half of the regular season, along with some other questionable incidents in his background, as cause to be a bit suspicious about his motives. I'm not throwing him under the bus, but neither am I going to sniff his jock strap, at least not until I see how he plays on the field.

So you're neither knocking him or ready to praise him? You just wanted to throw that out there that he may have ulterior motives and/or his heart might not be in the game?

 

[The Radish]

As I recall Harvin talked with the Seahawks staff and they all agreed a second opinion would be good.

He got that and was told he might able to play through the pain but they suggested he have the surgery and get it over with. Both staffs discussed it and agreed so he had it done.

As far as the series go you forgot to add,,,,,

Lynch off right tackle for 43
Screen to Willson for 11
Busted play, Wilson for 19
7yard pass play to Rice,,,,,,,TD!

:th2thumbs:

 

[dontbelikethat]

I think week 8 or 9 is very plausible. Then Okung is back very soon after.

 

[Hawknballs]

I think it's hilarious that people think Harvin signed a huge deal here and then promptly got hurt and just decided to take some time off because his heart just isn't in the game.

For starters Pete and John are good at what they do, and personally, as someone who hires people myself, it's pretty easy to separate the people who just aren't serious about their job from those who are. Harvin would have had to have been pretty deceptive to convince them to give him that sort of contract if he didn't intend to hold up his end of the bargain. One thing I've learned about following Percy on twitter is that he's not the most articulate person in the world. I don't really see him as the type to be able to pull of some clever tens-of-millions-of-dollars heist so he could jamarcuss up the old country buffet.

I was responding to a poster that said he "bet Percy was just itching to get back on the field", or something to that extent. I said I wouldn't be so sure, gave my reasons, and a debate ensued. I wasn't just "throwing it out there."

 

[MontanaHawk05]

Percy Harvin won't return to practice this week from PUP, but is running hard and will work out this week. Status beyond that up in the air.

Maybe not your whole post. But the "heart might not be in it" part seems to be out of place with your responses after it.

Not that I feel obligated to defend my own motives, but here's the original quote that started me off on the "Percy's heart may not be in it" theme:

"DYING to put on his pads and suit up" is what I'm not convinced of. I don't know why my insistence of on field proof before I assume that he's "dying" to get out there after he sat with injuries for much of the end of last season and by his own choice sat out the first half of this season is such an unreasonable request.

Nah, the Seahawks should give free complimentary tissues to fans every game, no matter win or lose.

A company in Seattle should put up confessional video booths for fans to express their hate, it would be fun to see all their tears and anguish.

 

[had2bhawk]

Listening to Pete on the radio this morning, he didn't sound very positive about Percy playing this week. Was saying that Percy was eligible but in this short week, we don't have any real "practice" time. They just basically walk the guys through and get ready for the game. To me, it sounds like we start to work him into the actual active roster for the Rams game at the earliest, but I suppose it never hurts to hold out that sliver of hope.

I'd keep him at home with BJ Daniels and work him!

By his own choice chose to sit out the first half of the season. Yeah I'm sure he was just hoping his hip was injured so he can lay around and watch his new teammates on tv. And the 2nd opinion he got was the opinion of the world renowned Dr. Andrews who repaired his previous teammates (AP) knee who went on to have a 2000 yard season.


What an absurd thing for him to do!
