2016 Seattle Seahawks - HMD no more
- Thread starter wibi
- Start date
Well, Hester was just about the only bright spot in today's game (OK, Paul Richardson was good too). Maybe they can sign him on a cheap deal for next year.
They go into the offseason with a clear set of needs.
1. Improve OL
2. Get Earl Thomas healthy
3. Improve OL
4. Find a cheaper, more dependable kicker
5. Improve OL
6. Work on overall depth
7. Improve OL

I think it'd be a nice coup to resign Hester given he fills a need, but he doesn't seem interested. Maybe try Richardson back there?
As to your last point, they've also got to spend more there. Only $6.5M in cap there, dead last in the league. For context, the Giants were second to last at $13.6M. As for filling that hole, I think a guy like Ryan Ramcyzk out of Wisconsin makes sense for them for a 1st rounder, despite the torn labrum needing surgery. Good in pass protect, better in run blocking, which seems to fit Bevell's scheming and priorities. I don't a guy like Cam Robinson falls to them, or McGlinchey should he declare, which would surprise me. I don't think LSU's Pocic fits what Seattle runs, so he gets no mention from me beyond that.
Yikes... Not a good look for Bennett

But Pete keeps them motivated by letting them be themselves.
Something to bear in mind the next time someone like Cam Newton turns in a less than stellar post-loss performance with the press -- and then gets crushed for it.
The football media have a crush on the Seahawks. It must be nice.

Richardson was buried on the depth chart behind Tyler Lockett, who actually wasn't that great this season as far as a receiver.
Seahawks have a curious offseason. They could free up some decent cap space by cutting Jimmy Graham. Hauschka is a free agent. Kam Chancellor could be on the chopping block. And they need a new offensive line.
Will be interesting.

2016 Seahawks: the whole was less than the sum of the parts. Due to injuries or personnel decisions or whatever, the team never seemed to coalesce on O or D and find any consistency like they did over the last few seasons. The disparity between home & road performance was especially jarring. Will be an interesting offseason.
I think simply dissolving the franchise is the right move here. Your move Roger:

Sounds similar to what the Bills did with Mario Williams in 2012. Buffalo was fined $20,000.

Why would Carroll bring this up? He's basically daring the NFL to investigate - which they're kind of obligated to do after their "we really really care about the players' safety" campaign this year. Brady should be suspended from the playoffs until this gets resolved.

Seattle may lose 2nd-round pick in 2017 draft as a result of season-long failure to disclose knee injury to Richard Sherman, per @mortreport
It's Mort so probably not true

Not even repeat offenders at this point.
More like habitual offenders with all the times they've gotten dinged for practice violations and things.
To borrow a phrase Pete should be familiar with, lack of institutional control.

Mort reporting that it will most likely be the 5th they already lost being raised to a 2nd (thus giving them back the 5th).
Seems fair. lol
Seems fair. lol
Not to go all DFG, but clearly this is something Sherman would know about. Clearly it is an integrity of the game issue. But I am sure the NFL is afraid to go after Sherman
+1. But the whining will never end. Spygate is playing a big role in another thread. It's almost ten years old. And deflategate was much worse. If only the deflategate stuff could stay in the Patriots' threads.
As far as I can tell, the precedent for this is a $20K fine. Even with the "repeat offender" tag, it's hard to reconcile a penalty stronger than a harsher fine or maybe a late-round pick.
I mean, seriously, here we are mocking the Raiders for being whiny about the Tuck Game and the Steelers for being whiny about whatever ... all the while being whiny about the Deflategate injustice.
Yup, the Patriots got screwed. Move on. Win another Super Bowl. Crying about punishments to other teams being less that the Brady suspension have outlived their shelf-life
I think part (not all, but part) of the reason this still resonates with Pats' fans is because the penalties are *still* ongoing. There's still a 4th round pick that the Pats are going to lose in the 2017 draft as a result of this freaking ridiculous penalty for a total non-event.
I think the other part is that this wasn't just a bad call. Bad calls happen. You move on. This was a sting operation followed by an all-out witch hunt to screw over the team and the quarterback. The NFL could have called off the dogs at one of many points, but kept pushing it.
Edit: and bad calls aren't the result of malice, jealousy, or revenge. DFG involved all 3.
I'm gonna guess that Pete made the punishment worse by casually mentioning it after the game as though it meant nothing at all.
Yep, great point. It was a total screw job and it's perfectly acceptable and understandable for Patriots' fans, and the Patriots themselves, to really never let it go. Whether that's a healthy thing or not, I'll leave for the armchair psychiatrists. But yeah, Pats' fans have a right to be continually pissed about that, especially when we see the league give the other teams essentially a slap on the wrist for similarly serious infractions that they *actually* commit.
First thing I thought of, and I know there have been a few more examples the past couple years, as well. It's all fucking ridiculous.
And on top of all of these shit sandwiches lately, they sign alleged rapist DB Perrish Cox to a deal. First of all, he sucks. Second of all, he's another distraction in a clubhouse full of them. Third of all, the only good he provides is reminding people that Demaryius Thomas is allegedly a worthless piece of shit too.
He made is possible by mentioning it on the air when literally no one had published anything about it.
Yeah. I think he was trying to defend Sherman's second half, which was OK but certainly not up to standard.
Weird deal all the way around.

Note the use of the word "may" in Schefter's tweet. 345 Park Ave. seeing which way the wind blows?
Seahawks signed kicker Blair Walsh to a deal today. Got to think that means Stephen Hauschka's days in Seattle are done.
Perhaps, but the last time we saw Blair Walsh, he wasn't any great shakes
Well, he was ... but you get the point
Best thing that could have happened to them was the Steelers getting caught doing the same thing. Rooney didn't want to set the draft pick precedent shortly before their own ruling.
