I could have gone w/o seeing this today. I didn't like it when we brought him in and hated it more with every passing day after. Probably a lot of childish bitterness after losing Warner. Seattle fawned over him...but it made me just shake my head.

Not saying I didn't like or respect FH...he was just old and couldn't play the game anymore.
I always hated that move. Especially since about that time, Earl Campbell's time was winding down in Houston, and he ended up getting traded to New Orleans, and we probably could have gotten him for a song.

Earl Campbell > Franco Harris. He might not have been able to give us much, but he sure as hell would have given us more than Franco did.

First I'd like to say, it is disappointing that all of the Marquand Manuel pics are licensable as he deserved to be posted as well. He stabilized our secondary after Hamlin was injured.

However, on to number 32, John L Williams was amazing for us.

Unlike some other #'s, 32 has provided some great talent. I LOVED John L and HATED when he left for Pittsburgh. Agree that we got the best Ricky...he was decent in SF, put up good #'s in Philly but had the "tude"...but he had nearly identical production and was a leader in SEA. Shows that some people can change. Carson far exceeded my expectations, but just couldn't kick the injury bug. When healthy, he was among top 5 RB's in the league.

Green kept dropping the ball, Holmgren hated dropping the ball, he found a way to get rid of the turnovers and get something in return. Remember a fumble or interception got you in the Holmgren Dog House, Hass would rather be sacked by the whole Hall of fame D line then face Holmgren after a turnover. Guys got benched for the rest of the game or series of games when they fumbled.

Worst trade in Seahawks history? Please tell me you’re joking.
Not even remotely. We traded a should be hall of fame running back for a cornerback that only started one game in his career. He was never good and we traded a should be hall of famer for him.
