PFT has Seattle as #4 in its power rankings

[Seahwkgal]

Well by reading the comments section, you will know that thats too high for the "Seadderal Cheathawks"

I know...lol. I don't pay attention to ignorant comments. There were, however, a couple insightful posters there. One was actually a Whiner fan believe it or not.

The Cliff Avril signing was big. I still cannot believe that a bad defensive team in Detroit let one of its very few consistent players walk. I’m not a fan of their depth at RB if Lynch goes down if that O-Line is “unstable”. Lynch is a “make it happen” kind of back that can overshadow poor play of others. Behind him that is unproven. However if the O-Line can gel and dominates the line of scrimmage then that’s a dangerous group. If you’re counting on your secondary to consistently try and bring down Lynch you’re going to have a bad day.

I’ve never been sold on Harvin. That could’ve been due to underutilization in Minnesota though. We’ll find out if he can be a #1. How will he deal with a QB that can find him when a play breaks down? I don’t think he had that opportunity in Minny. When Favre was he QB he put up good numbers, but we all know Favre doesn’t always make the best decisions. ..as he’ll throw into triple coverage all day long. Russell Wilson is a bit more economical though.

The NFC West has had a resurgence and it’ll be a tougher division than most believe. Could be the best division in football. A lot of ifs in AZ and STL, but lots ofppotential there as well

I can't really argue too much with that poster's comment. What they said about the division was spot on IMO.

As was noted in the comments...when your "weaknesses" are all about depth...and only at TWO areas (TE and OL)...that's pretty good!

Free Safety depth is pretty scary for us as well. Can anyone else do what Earl does....on our team, hell NFL-Wide for that matter?

No, and bringing that up is disheartening. Lets not jinx that crap here.

That thought actually went through my head as I was posting. I used to always tip-toe around thinking stuff like that, but now Wilson, along with the solid, depth oriented talent building from PC&JS have made me start to change my thinking in that area. It's a new experience to truly believe that are very able to beat anyone and everyone.....and surmount any deficit.

Heady stuff.

One of the best interviews ever was when Browner (looking very scary as usual) said that Moss was talking junk etc. and he'll have to be knocked around again. Priceless.

Miller the HIGHEST paid TE this year????


Dude REALLY needs to build off the end of last season.

Miller was a BALLER the last half of the year; especially in the playoffs. I'm not worried in the least about him. He'll do his part. Now depth-wise, maybe. Willson sounds intriguing, and McGrath has some game experience so we'll see.

 

[SalishHawkFan]

It seems odd to say a team that rushed for nearly 2,600 yards as a team last season (third in the NFL) has concerns along the offensive line but it is an area of concern for the Seahawks. Both guard positions are unsettled. Right tackle Breno Giacomini was among the most penalized players in the league last season and depth at tackle behind Giacomini and left tackle Russell Okung is somewhat suspect.

Yeah, I stopped reading right there. I have but one word for this know nothing:

Cables.

Hahaha yes it was.

And on Miller being the highest paid TE this year, if true, that's pretty crazy. I guess the elites are getting old

Don't forget the fact that he has basically been a 3rd tackle for most of his time here, and a good one at that. He has been a workhorse, forced to block most of the time, and has never ONCE whined. Ease up.

Well, he is compensated better than almost every tackle in the league, he better not whine.

Well, he hasn't dropped off in performance at all after getting a big payday. We can't say that for Shaun Alexander, among plenty of other NFL players.

Miller is a flat out baller, and a huge weapon for this team. With this offense, it's pick your poison.
