https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11806464/ Read through this entire thing and it is about as grim as it gets. QT = Quadriceps Tendon PT = Patellar Tendon RTP = Return To Play Highly encourage everyone to slog your way through the entire thing, it is worthwhile but I definitely came away thinking we need to be serious about a long term solution at LT.

You should absolutely trade any home grown, pro bowl talent for 2 firsts and a second. Everything after that disastrous mistake was inevitability. Also extremely glad not to be paying Brian Burns. He would not be producing in this defense and we would all be furious about it.

Darnold not playing will be a net positive for the Seahawks. Not being flippant.

I will say "not yet." I have qualms regarding his independence from ownership and also involvement with past FO mistakes under Rhule/Fitterer. To that note, his first draft in 2024 looked like a carbon copy of a Fitterer draft. An absolute disaster. The 2025 offseason was a mixed bag but the draft looks good early. I need to see better and better offseason results in 2026, 2027, etc.

Yeah but it’s a thread ostensibly about Brian burns doing well as a justification to sign a different guy. Kinda clashes ya know? Comes across as a little pissy just saying you could have workshopped the structure more to clarify the topic and streamline the thought process and that service is the kind of thing im hopeful my posting consulting service will provide. we’re still in fundraising mode and my DMs are open if anyone wants to get on the ground floor of this. Also accepting resumes.

You obviously didn't hit the link. I am quoting Bucky Brooks, as I stated.

I mean, I guess I can see why you're saying what you're saying, but it's not that smoking gun that I was looking for. I mean, what do we expect the assistant to say? I'm sure that he wanted to keep his job. The guy that didn't keep his mouth shut got fired. I will admit that it's not a good look. The thing is though, everyone makes bad calls. If Morgan was against the trade, it was a bad call in my opinion, but on the other hand he probably wanted to keep Burns and work out a deal.

I got: Bills over Broncos. I think it will be close but Sean Payton notoriously chokes in the playoffs and I don’t think anyone wants to play Josh Allen. 24-21 Seahawks over 49ers. I think it’s close and Darnold is likely injured but the defense wins it. 20-17 Texans over Patriots. Patriots had one of if not the easiest schedule this year. They struggled with LAs defense which is nowhere near what Houston has. Probably low scoring. 17-13 Bears over Rams: Rams think our home field advantage is bad. They are about to play in Chicago, with single digit temperatures, high wind, and flurries. 30-21

What does this have to do with Bucky brooks

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5334576/2024/03/11/carolina-panthers-brian-burns-defense/ Morgan was second in command behind Scott Fitterer in 2022 when the Panthers rejected the Rams’ offer just days after trading All-Pro running back Christian McCaffrey to the San Francisco 49ers. The lone dissenting voice was former salary cap and contracts executive Samir Suleiman, who believed the Panthers should take the picks for Burns, according to three sources familiar with the discussions. Again I ask, who got fired?

You gotta give me a link or something. Plenty of stuff that's "reported" turns out to be more speculation than substantiation.

Maye has to run. The Texans, though the best overall defense, were dead last against scrambling QBs.

It was reported he wanted to keep Burns and turn the trade down. The one guy that wanted the trade was Samir Suleiman. Guess who was fired?

If he lands a HC job he will like take Cooley as DC. (Would be 3 3rd round picks btw). I imagine we would promote Wash or hire Raheem Morris due to familiarity with the system. Evero would need a OC though. Wonder about Zac Robinson since they know each other from LA

Skepticism is fine, just not surety until proven.

I'd say you're speculating big time. Assistants exist to support their bosses and the company line.

and the injuries seem to be a team problem so I believe our strength and conditioning staff needs to be upgraded.

Canalas may be a better Head coach than a coordinator...

Jeopardy ‘final answer’ or just not yet, still undecided? Just curious…

I think Evero may be one of those guys that is better as a HC than as a coordinator. I wouldn't be surprised if he actually got one of these jobs.

I still have my doubts about Morgan because of stuff he did with fitterer and his draft class last year

What if I told you Dan Morgan agreed with Fitterer about that trade?

Yeah, if the Pats running game doesn't get off the ground, they will be in a LOT of trouble. As good as Maye was this season, the Chargers gave him fits and this defense is far better than that one. The one X-factor that can hurt Houston is Maye's legs.

I think you're going to continue to see huge contracts to players that you need, or that ones you think will get you over the hump. That's just the nature of the beast. What I think you'll see smart GMs balking at is overpaying marginal QBs whose play doesn't justify huge contracts. The league has seen how overpaying for glorified backups can hamstring franchises for years. Star players or perceived Star players are always going to get paid handsomely by someone. Moreover, if you're referring to Lloyd, he has arguably balled all along, it's just that coaches matter and systems matter in order for most players to reach their highest potential.
