i'm telling you, without the wedge he's not going to be as effective as he was last year.

we have to have faster and fancier returners. if you aren't (which he isn't) you won't last.

plus he was having fumble problems of his own and hamstring problems which has bugged him for much of the preseason.

no thanks.

I didn't consider this. Very very good point.

ahhhhh yes

<re-adjusts monocle)

the wedge is no more.... probably led to the Titans decision

very astute theory rayzor. I remember you mentioning this before on another thread.

Gotta spread some around but that was a rule I forgot about this year. That dose very much change the KR game.

Rayzor's point may well filter in to all return struggles. The formation of the wedge is a vantage point and a comfort zone that returners use or at least keep in the back of their mind jsut after looking the ball in. I have seen muffed kicks a lot in pre-season across the league and Mark Jones is not the only person that is returning kicks without the comfort zone of a forming wedge for the first time this season.

just a thought

yes but do you think the captain, moore, or goodson(especially goodson) would get run out of bounds by the kicker?

he was a good returner he just wasn't very dynamic, and this isn't so much a problem as it is growing pains(and danny crossman:mad:). Mark Jones would just be a small band-aid and even worse he would require us to cut moore or jarrett(even though jarrett looks pretty "cutable" by now).

      Trade deadline

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
