Walker pretty much out

[seabowl]

I heard McDonald mention something to the effect of he’s looking good for game four. I sure hope they have a better plan this week than last week and sub in McIntosh at times.

Also, I just looked back and he had the same exact injury (oblique) last year in November. This is concerning that it’s the same injury two years in a row and hope it’s not something that is ongoing.

 

[MORGULON]

I hope he can get healthy and finish the season.

 

[Hockey Guy]

Pretty obvious is was more serious than they were letting on after game 1.

 

[bigskydoc]

If there is any question, I would be sitting him for a game that should be easily winable without him, but won't burn our conference record if we lose. I want him completely healthy for the upcoming NFC stretch

Man…getting the same Carson and Penny vibes.

Love the dude but, here we go again..

We have been snake-bitten at that position ever since Lynch retired. Sadly, it's beginning to look like that streak continues.

I just hope they mix it up a bit to see what either Macintosh or Holani can do. Really hoping Walker isn't the a band aid moving fwd otherwise gonna have to draft another

Holani injured his ankle. Not sure he’ll be called up. His status is in question

Oh...Kiero Small around?

 

[oldhawkfan]

Time to find out if Troymaine Pope is in shape?

They added Brittain Brown to the PS

Well, an AFC game without their starting QB sounds like a good one for that.

Which was exactly my point

Even that last year of Lynch. He had the hamstring pull early, missing a few games, then had the hernia surgery that took him out of the last 7 games and the first playoff game. Then he came back to play his last game, of his first stint, for Seattle, the loss to Carolina.

I thought for sure that we would sign Dillon Johnson from the UW. He was tremendous in Ryan Grubb's offense. But even after the Titans released him, we didn't pick him up and the Panthers signed him to their practice squad.

So...we could get him and some first round picks in exchange for a day old slice of Pizza. That organization is ran like garbo, may as well fleece em while ya can.

Brittain Brown, from my understanding he is like a tank, power to burn, move the pile, won't run away from anyone but if you want 5 to 10 yards or short yardage a good type of back. Emmitt Smith was a back that wasn't ranked high due not having break away type speed either. Combine numbers don't always indicate what a back can do. once or twice a game a back gets a chance to break one all the way, Brown would just be one of those guys that gets caught. We have seen what power can do also, Lynch's BEASTQUAKE run was not a break away, it was running thru traffic and not going down, stiff arms, brute strength.

Those types of backs don't get chances often I would not mind seeing him get a shot.

 

[Gametime]

I feel like Kenny Mac earned some reps in the preseason and was surprised last week he didn’t get in. The only unseen thing coaches may know that we don’t is his pass blocking ability in an audible situation and or his overall grasp of the offensive concepts that would limit his ability to be on the field more. Hope he’s ready and gets a shot! As long as we get the W!

Could Seattle take him off Carolina's PS? How does that work?

To sign someone from another team’s PS you have to sign them to the active roster and they have to remain on the active roster for (I believe) a minimum of 3 weeks.
