And this is only his second year. Gotta think next year and the year after he’s gonna be making more jumps especially as those around him get better. I’ve said since his rookie year and watching his traits that he was a 15+ sack type of player. The things he can do at his size are extremely rare.

remember when Ron Rivera benched him because he punched the ground in frustration after just missing blocking a kick

couldn't have any emotion out there. that's not the Ron Rivera way.

I think he injured his hand / wrist because of it, that's why he didn't play (what's with the John Fox ? did Ron get golden calf of bristol'd ?)

yeah but he was healthy enough to play special teams after that, just not DE. 

And yeah Ron, not John. Distinction without a difference tbh tho

If a QB doesn’t drop to us that we like I’d keep drafting lineman on O and D in the first two rounds for the next several drafts. I’d follow the 9ers drafting model until we can secure a legit QB.

I am really like the LT from Notre Dame and I like Barron, the MLB from Ohio State in the second round.  In the third, there are some good center options that would be a probable upgrade.  If we could do that, I would sleep well after day 2. 

I know, some are saying, "What about S?  What about CB?  What about TE?

Free agency--maturation--healing.

While I should stop here, nay nay.  I sorta think our CB position will be fine.  Here is why--Douglas is serviceable if he is not on the #1. Jackson has been injured and is not as bad as we make him out to be.  Elder is having a better year than Munnerlyn did when the horns paid him big money.  Pride needs more experience, and there might be something in Stantley. whatever his hyphenated last name is.   Throw in a free agent, and get a stud S behind them, and we can start playing with less cushion and more aggression.  In other words, we need to heal and mature instead of an overhaul.  In a perfect world?  maybe overhaul, but if we address the OL, the DBs are not on the field as much--addition by subtraction.

I am spent.

This isn’t gonna be fixed in one draft/offseason but we need to get the ball rolling. I’d rather address corner linebacker safety and te with later round picks 3-7 and free agency. Build those lines up with top tier talent. QB is the wildcard tho, if the org thinks there is a franchise qb at our picks in the next three drafts do not hesitate to pick him round 1.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.
