Carroll said #Seahawks WR Percy Harvin looked 100% this week. Will play in Super Bowl with no limitations.

Now for Clayton's tweet about how big a mistake that will be :roll:

Even though it's the SB, I can't let myself get all worked up over Harvin. I expect him to play, but I don't expect him to be a huge factor. I HOPE he will be, but I'm not expecting it.

Bottom Line: Just by Harvin playing is going to cause Denver headaches not only in preparing for him, but on the field.

In case it wasn't entirely clear from the tweet above:

Carroll says Harvin won't need to be manage at all. Says he'll be on kicks and all that.

There is a myth out there that people get hurt all the time returning kicks. It doesn't happen like that.

I can't think of the last time one of our kick returners got hurt.

You spend $60 million on a player, you want to maximize his skill set. Not letting him return kicks for fear of injury is crazy.

Full speed ahead, every weapon at our disposal. Damn the torpedoes!

Although I agree with your premise, and that there is a better chance of getting hurt on punts or receiving, Kearse did get hurt on a kick off earlier this year. It was against the Vikings and Harvin came in for him. Kearse hasn't returned a kick since

Put him back there on KR and PR. Denver's special teams have been atrocious this year and there's a good opportunity to get points out of them.

This is the last year of the game, let the guy go full bore and he can rest/heal up all offseason if necessary. He's motivated, let him go!

 

[Hawks46]

Use that little bastard until he can't stand up. This is for everything.

He has plenty of time to rest in the offseason and his hip was fine after the NO game.

Clayton is on KIRO now talking Harvin and saying that he did ask pete about Harvin and got the answer that has already been posted...that Harvin is 100% and will do all we ask him to. He reiterated that he thinks it's a mistake, but believes now that Harvin will return kicks.

All I have to say is I am so glad that Clayton doesn't coach the team

 

[Blitzer88]

It will be very interesting to see whether or not Pete does let him return kicks.

 

[iigakusei]

He is a threat to take it to the house anytime he returns a kick. Last time I checked a TD is worth the same amount of points no matter how you get it. ps - I love that Pete puts so much emphasis on Special teams....even our all pro safety plays them!

I think we put him back there....what I am waiting to see, is how Denver reacts to that

 

[marko358]

It would be foolish to not have him return kicks. He is one of the most dangerous kick returners in the game. What the heck would we be saving him for? Play to win because there's no guarantees that you'll ever come back to the Superb Owl.

 

[Hawknballs]

Its the superbowl..this is WHY he was signed. To win THIS game. THIS one.

Kick returns. now.

 

[rjdriver]

I can give you 67 million reasons why he should return kicks

Horror scenario -- opening KO to PH - jets up the field - "Joe Special Team" sheds his block and NAILS PH - OH NO!! Head Injury - undergoing concussion protocol and questionable to return.

Why take this foolish risk?

You're right. Let's just put him on the sideline..he could get hurt running back kicks or he could get hurt catching passes or he could get hurt on an end around. Wait...we could lose any Seahawk at any time.....let's bench 'em all and just let the Broncos have the Lombardi....it's not worth the risk :roll:

Um, because any player on any given play is at risk of getting injured. Heck, just throw in all of our 3rd stringers. Lets keep everyone healthy for next year.

 

[AF_Hawk]

It's the last game. Put him out there wherever he can give us an upgrade/chance to break a big score and if he gets hurt, at least he got hurt trying to win a ring.

This.

:sarcasm_on: Save him for the next game :sarcasm_off:
