Remember Zach Miller?

[Laloosh]

Just watching some games from last year. Man, we need a blocking TE.

Watching him pass block hits ya right in the feels, too.

 

[twisted_steel2]

Our offense was so much better with him. He could block like a lineman and catch like a receiver, hell of a player.

 

[northseahawk]

I bet he still could be a better olineman than the guys we have now.

 

[The Outfield]

I swear Zach Miller vanishes into oblivion during that play

I'll never forget the Atlanta game when he tore his plantar fascia, went to the locker room for some pain killers, and came back and had his best game ever with 142 yards and helped lead our comeback.

Probably the most impactful personnel loss we've had in the last two years. He helps in every area we've struggled in, including the redzone. We probably have two rings if he hadn't gotten hurt last season. Perfect fit for team's identity too.

The Hawks lost more then a tight end when he left, that dude was clutch.

 

[andyh64000]

Had that same thought when he made the game winning one handed catch for the Bears last night. We should have re-signed him and never traded away Unger.

Different Zach Miller.

I thought the same thing last night until they showed THAT Zach Miller on the sidelines.

Different Zach Miller.

Oh...my bad.

Tricked me too at first. Didn't know there was another Zack Miller TE in the NFL. I miss that dude.

 

[Rocket]

Two Zach Millers?
Is that legal?

 

[NYCoug]

I won't lie. I've definitely come to .Net more than just a few times, hoping to see a thread titled 'Zach Miller signs with the Seahawks!!!" And you just know that it would get three exclamation points, because that's how exciting of a signing it would be. Never would the mid-season signing of a backup, blocking Tight End illicit such wild celebration among a fan base.

And I'm going to keep on checking in on .Net to see if I finally get to open that 'Zach Miller signs with the Seahawks!!!" thread. We could really use his leadership and his blocking ability, his selflessness. And I'm sure the rest of the team loved him, too. Luke Willson's dad once told me a few years ago, that Zach was Luke's best friend on the team. Anywhere Zach would go, Luke wasn't too far behind and visa versa. Luke wanted to learn everything he possibly could from one of the best, most well-rounded TE's in the game, and the beautiful thing was, that Zach wanted to be the teacher and teach his young pupil all of the lessons that he had learned. Such a thing is rare in today's business-like NFL, where veterans are a little more apprehensive about teaching the younger guys on the team because they know how quickly they might be replaced by them, and thus, be out of a job and security for the family.

If Zach is healthy, and who knows if he even wants to play football anymore at this point... I'd love for Johnny Schneids to pick up the phone and give him a call to see if he's got 8 to 11 games left in the tank. It'd be this season's bringing back Mike Rob or signing Tukuafu, Dobbs, King, and Moeaki. Make it happen, Schneids! I'm sending my FIPS, or my Fake Internet Prayers (shoutout to Pehawk, who needs to be back on this site because he's a brilliant human being) for this one, now that they've helped fix Ricardo Lockette's neck.

He was such a great blocker. Too bad we didn't have him on the current squad. Then let Jimmy go be a WR.

 

[seahawks08]

Zach had his time, he got injured and there was a set back in his healing. The contract that was in play wasn't going to give the team the returns and we had to sign some young and upcoming players. While I value all that he has done for the team, I think the premium we paid was good for the that time. We don't have the money to pay the same premium after locking up some of our key core players. When priorities come, locking up Wagner, RW and other contracts left the team with zero options to invest on other position areas. Unfortunately QBs are a premium in this league and whenever the first big contract is offered, there is collateral damage for many great players to be cut.

Can't really compare them because the team is not the same.

 

[Chukarhawk]

Is Miller even in the NFL right now?

 

[seahawks08]

Is Miller even in the NFL right now?

I don't think so, the last I know he listed his home for sale in Seattle and he had babies, so must be living a private life with family time.

No he is not in the NFL. Did not pass physical.

 

[onanygivensunday]

Last that I heard is he had a second surgery on his foot.

That must have been early 2015... nothing since.
