Should Seahawks get Vontaze Burfict?

[Mizak]

Yeah I know dirty player but he plays the way Pete wants his defense to play. Maybe as an insurance.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

No thx. Solid player, but a total headcase. And pretty dirty.

 

[rcaido]

I mean, we will eventually clash w/ the Bucs...Just for that game alone.

 

[TwistedHusky]

That would be amazing.

But we barely have enough roster slots for the guys we want to keep now.

I saw Burfict's last play live on the Indy receiver in Oakland. Looked like total bang-bang to me, I was surprised that the pf was moved to a dq. The guy prior had been seen as a model player.

He's been reinstated since December and has talent. If Antonio Brown got a chance to rise above the reputation that preceded him, so should this guy.

Model Player? Burfict???????? Dirty play and hits have been following Burfict since high school.

Burfict's NFL career is over, and has been for some time.

Pete doesn't play defense slow, sloppy and dirty. Burfict's career is over and rightfully so. He's a horrible linebacker and an even worse human. He's tried to put people in wheelchairs on numerous occasions.

Well, I was talking about his reputation with the Raiders. Everyone saw him as a team player including Carr.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Fair enough

 

[jamescasey1124]

Nah...
Linebackers are set.

 

[Uncle Si]

Nah...
Linebackers are set.

with quality backups too.

Would think a pass rusher is the only thing the squad needs now.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Yep, 2 hours and 10 minutes til the deadline. While I love the additions coming back and in, I would LOVE to see someone like Kerrigan added. Not likely, but it never hurts to hope :2thumbs:

While we are at it, let's pick up Matthew's too. We can be known as the cheap shot artists of the west.

Insurance for what?

Just in case we need a 15 yard personal foul penalty against at the worst possible time?

 

[Basis4day]

Pete likes physical and aggressive players.

What he doesn’t like is dirty headhunters.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

This is a guy who flat out cost his team a playoff game against Pitts. Hell no

 

[RolandDeschain]

I don't really want a player as dirty as him. Pass.

 

[sdog1981]

We just have a list of players that were good 4 years ago and everyone can just chime in with who they want from that list.

Pete already passed on recruiting Burfict to USC. His recklessness has been a problem dating back to high school. Since coming to the NFL he has been fined $4.5 million for on-field behavior. Let that sink in.
