Wagner's situation is truly much more questionable because of the pectoral muscle injury he suffered last week against Cincinnati. He was unable to practice on Wednesday or Thursday, was limited on Friday in a light session in which players didn't wear helmets, after which head coach Pete Carroll said Wagner's status truly won't be determined until Sunday morning.

 

 

 

"He's tough enough to play with it, it's just whether it's the right thing to do, to get him back to health," Carroll said. "We need to judge that when we get right up to game time. With another game coming up on Thursday, we have to take that into account as well, it might be a tough turnaround if he does play. We'll just take in all the factors and figure it out."

If Wagner is unable to play against the Panthers, the Seahawks would likely move outside linebacker K.J. Wright to the middle, starting a domino effect of lineup moves. But further complicating the Seahawks plans if Wagner is out is the fact that backup inside linebacker Brock Croyle is also questionable with a knee injury. The Seahawks promoted linebacker Nick Moody off the practice squad earlier in the week to provide more depth, but Moody is doubtful to play after suffering an ankle injury in practice this week.

It's hardly an ideal situation for a Seattle defense looking to regain its mojo after a disappointing loss to Cincinnati last week, a game in which the Seahawks relinquished a 24-7 lead in the fourth quarter.

Though Carroll on Friday praised the rest of the Seahawks' linebackers (as defensive coordinator Kris Richard also did a day earlier), Wagner's importance to the Seattle defense cannot be understated. He's fast, aggressive and instinctive and the rare type of middle linebacker who is just as valuable in pass coverage as he is in run defense.

Probably depends a lot on the importance that they put on this game... which with their record is probably fairly high.

The injury sounds fairly severe (if he's not practicing), but probably just a pain issue... I'm sure he can probably play thru it, but the question is whether they want to take the chance on him hurting it worse for just one game, or let him rest it another week and be back after that.

      What to Consider when you Draft in Round 1

      By Growl · Posted

      fans view “box safety” with the same disdain they have when they hear “game manager” QB.   but there’s a reason most 1st round safeties are “box safeties”-it’s a much longer list of requisite skills to be a good box safety than it is to be a guy whose only real responsibility is to not get beat over the top. Fans crave the ed reed type and as someone who has never been able to enjoy this franchise having a guy like that, I get the enthusiasm-but I’m not really prepared to spend a first round pick on a free safety. If it happens it’ll be fun, it’ll address a need with a good player and that’s well and good. But those guys end up walking after their first contract because their pedigree usually outpaces what their teams feel like they’re adding to their overall win total.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By Basbear · Posted

      Its criminal that the upcoming season is mainly in the tiny hands of BY.  I still member the time I did a full turn, if you member his first off-season from that Panthers all-time worst team....... Answering questions at his first presser, he goes along the lines " I didn't do nothing, no weight room or throwing" " I needed to get away". I was fully out with him, the guy didn't even try to improve his football mind, body, strength, in the biggest joke of panther football. I could not believe it, what a leader or dare say "point guard"(lols @ NBA point guards as a ref)

      I view FS almost as the NT of the secondary. Oftentimes the true measure of his impact isn't necessarily in the plays that he makes but what he allows you to do with the rest of your defense to allow them to make plays. When you have that elite true sideline to sideline FS safety blanket over the top of the defense it allows you to be a lot more aggressive with everyone else. Where as when you have a Nick Scott as your last line of defense you gotta be mindful to not have to rely too heavily on that.
