How does Shaquille Griffin still have practice squad elegibility?

Was never good in his prime. Camp body..time to move on from the past.

SBXLIX we lost CB Jeremy Lane to an ACL and broken arm, and had to put in an injured Tharald "Toast" Simon. Brady, Edelman and Amendola carved Simon up to get the win. I never understood why injured Simon was active and Marcus Burley was a healthy scratch.

Great, now my left eye is twitching. I had all but blocked that clown out of my mind.

...... Always appreciate the extra effort in bringing relevant information to a discussion and in this case the seahawks.net forum.

FIFY. Did you realize how absolutely right and absolutely important your point is?
Depth at corner and safety. I'm gonna say that tissue-paper thin depth at CB and SS has cost Seattle 2 Lombardis.

SBXL, we'd lost SS Ken Hamlin to a stupid bar fight earlier in the year, but OK, we had Marquand Manuel. But, but, but... Manuel was injured in the first half. Replaced by (who?) street free agent Etric Pruitt, fresh off the couch. Pruitt exploited on 2 Stealers TDs in the 2nd half.

OK, so Edge rushing depth is important too, because when Cliff Avril went down in XLIX, Hawks didn't get much pressure on Brady the rest of the way.

Between Kendrick and Griffin, a couple PBUs at key times could easily be the difference, if one is out but the other is available.

Wasn't Sherman basically playing with one arm for part of that game too?

For the whole game, his elbow got forcibly bent backwards in the NFCCG.

If I'm not mistaken, Kam Chancellor was playing hurt in SB49 too. I believe he hurt his knee the day before the game.

Regarding Griffin being added to PS. I don't recall any significant veteran who has been added to a team's PS being poached by another team. If it's happened, it's been extremely rare.
