Re: A look back at Seahawks’ 2013 rookie mini-camp

Not the only team for sure. Unfortunately the Seahawks have the most since 2011 and 2nd most since Pete Carroll took over according to an article I read on NFL.com. Something needs to change.

Someone needs to gather and publish PED use for all 32 teams. The Seahawks are surely not the only team with this problem.

Jason your article hits the sweet spot of the most realistic expectations for the blazers this off season.
Vetran bigs shore up the middle,bolster bench with FA and picks or trade picks for FAs. Swinging a move for a higher pick(s) next season is an option that should not overlooked.

FAT MISS on putting Dennis Johnson before RAY ALLEN?! Are u gonna bench Reggie Miller on your all time Pacers list? Dennis Johnson was filthy but not filthy enough to pass up the best shooter to ever play (or 2nd best). And not to mention Ray Allen is an above average defender anyway if u wanna make a case that u put Dennis Johnson in for both offensive and defensive reasons.

Seaver has played a little short already and played on college as well so his transition would be rather smooth. It really comes down to having a liability at either short or third.

Nick franklin is a stud and so is seager but I don't think it would be that easy for them to swap positions. I really like the call up idea though montero, smoak, ack, franklin and seager is a awesome young core. I am really excited to see this team grow and succeed. I really wish they had a true all around hitter in the outfield though. Go blue

For Sure! Go Seahawks!

Thanks for the catch, I wrote the pick in the round and not the pick overall on that one. Thanks! Go Seahawks!

When a team is stacked with talent and going to the playoffs, a successful draft tends to include a larger number of "boom or bust" players and projects. Lets hope that Seattle got more boom than bust! lol

Re: Welcome to Seattle Chris Harper….Wide receiver Kansas State

curtisls87 — Fri, 03 May 2013 12:46:22 -0000

This writer must not have watched much video on Harper. It's mandatory for all receivers to block in K-State's run oriented offense, and Harper was very good at it. In my view, this guy in the 4th round is a steal. He didn't get the coverage precisely because the Wildcats were run oriented, but he's got all the tools good hands, decent speed. powerful body with some size, and can block well.

Michael was taken with the 62 pick...not the 30th. Just sayin...can't wait for camp! It's going to be an awesome summer and an even better fall and winter! Go Hawks!

Re: A very early look at the Seahawks 2013-2014 D-line

Seahawksfan99 — Fri, 03 May 2013 02:18:07 -0000

Not even close, dude. Irvin will not start because he can't stop the run. He is a situational pass rusher, period. Bennett and Avril are being paid to play and both will start, assuming Clemons won't be full strength come September. Look for Bruant to play all over the D front and not just D-tackle. Avril, Bennett, Mebane & Bryant are the starting four.

Harper is way better than patton

Re: Welcome to Seattle Jesse Williams….Defensive tackle Alabama

Brett Bivens — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 16:05:49 -0000

He had ACL concerns that made teams hesitate. Seahawks seem to take chances other teams aren't willing to take. It has been paying off!

Re: Welcome to Seattle Jesse Williams….Defensive tackle Alabama

Aussie hawks fan — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 22:03:51 -0000

What a steal! This guy is going to be a great player... How did he slide to the 5th? From what I've read around the net his knee problems were minor and he is 100% good to go right now.

Nice balanced reaction Brett. I believe that Kam will seek a way to thrive within the system.

Yeah, Trufant lined up against him the majority of the time. It was ugly, lol. Eastern is definitely no joke and I am glad that the Seahawks scouts realize that this next tier of college player is right under their noses.

Re: Seattle Seahawks 2013 6 round mock draft – version 1.0

Brandon — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 20:30:49 -0000

That's the beauty of a mock draft, you get to draft the team the way you want! LOL yeah I am going to put one more before the draft to reflect any last minute changes, like the possible WInfield signing.

Sio Moore was on my watch list as was Khaseem Greene from Rutgers. Gooden reminds me of a slightly more mobile Kam and I can't pass that up.

I like Ertz a LOT, but I think with Miller still in his prime and McCoy a viable backup, I think a late round TE makes more sense.

I also like Manuel, but some teams seem to be valuing him fairly high right now.

As for kicker, I am actually perfectly content with Carson Wiggs, who they signed again after Hauschka didn't sign his tender

Re: Moments In Time: The Seahawks top 5 rookie seasons

Brandon — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 20:22:44 -0000

I absolutely agree. Looking at the numbers, I see why Kuechly won ROY last season, but I still think Wagner should've won due to immediate impact. He is going to kill people in the middle this season
