I know some people just don't like podcasts.  I get it.  But sometimes you get some great interviews.  This morning I started listening to this episode with Jonathan Stewart, which I found super insightful.  It's only about 36 minutes long, and the content with JStew is pretty cool.

What I took away from Stewart is that there is a distinct lack of trust on the team.  Period.  Can they trust the play call?  The other guys?  With that sense of trust is how much you have your bud's back?  It's a very interesting perspective about the relationships between players, coaches, and the families.  Stewart said "it's not just us winning, it's our kids and our families winning."  That hit really hard. 

He also said something many of us will not like to hear: it's not all on Matt Rhule.  He didn't fumble the ball.  He didn't drop a pick.  He didn't miss a block.  Remember his perspective as a player before you think he's just soft in the head.  He does also say that when players do their jobs and the results stink, that's on the coaches.  It's something we need to remember - there is a give and take between players and coaches.

Overall, really enjoyable listen for me.  Maybe you will disagree and that's fine.  It's important to try to look at the different perspectives as we try not to sell our team out completely.  Not that they haven't earned it thus far...

We talking about Chuba fumbling? because that is on Matt Rhule

Chuba shouldn’t be on the team. He adds no value yet he’s still here. Chuba showed during the pre season he still can’t catch a football so him fumbling a kickoff should surprise no one. 

Then to trot him back out there after he fumbled and have him nearly do it again? Yeah that’s on the coaching staff

When the same mistakes happen, year after year, and sometimes it’s the same player, that is on coaching or lack thereof 

Case in point, Chubba has had ‘hands of stone’  since college..lol all the players on the team, he is the one to do kickoffs ?  Come on man   Just like throwing to him out of the backfield  he is nit a complete back and it is doubtful any other team would pick him up.

look at the results of this coach’s drafts ..they are not  great

go look at the top 15 teams  and how they play vs this team….

I believe what my eyes have shown me for starting year 3

not to worry, this schedule will flush it out, probably after the Tampa game, the jury will be in.

The coaches evaluate the talent and the game plan for each week. It's up to the players to execute that game plan to the best of their ability. But if the game plan sucks to begin with, not to mention the talent level of the players being put out there by the coaches to execute said plan is severely lacking, then well, you're gonna have a bad time.

He nearly had 2 fumbles.  I am guessing he had about 4 touches, and 2 of them ended up on the ground.

He shouldn’t be back there regardless. Actually, yeah he shouldn’t be on the team.

Remember that deep kick he brought out late in the game vs CLE?

This is EXACTLY what I was going to say, Chuba should have been cut after the PS, and we should have signed a FA as they are not expensive. 

When we talk about fumbles, missed blocks, dropped passes etc. we have to look at the decisions the COACH makes with the personnel...

We split reps with Ickey our 1st round selection number 6 overall with BC and WASTED reps in camp to help speed up his development...why? A 3rd rounder in BC was never going to be him out. 

We split reps with Baker / Sam, again NO ONE though Sam was going to win, you don't trade for Baker to sit him, so why did we waste those reps. 

The only other person we really have that's decent at returns is Shi, they had him out there for punts, but not KR, why?

We trade for Shenault, we draft TMJ in round 2, we signed a WR that has years of rapport with Baker, and yet we are force feeding Shi Smith....I'm not saying he doesn't have talent, but this is the deepest we've ever been at WR, why are we NOT taking advantage of that?

So while I agree with players have to execute, coaches have to 1) have a plan that CAN be executed, and 2) they have to put the players in the best position / environment to execute. 

To me that is what Rhule has failed at since his time here began, overall we have the same issues we had back in 2020, even with an improved roster.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By The Question · Posted

      You making fun of or not realizing how important that actually is leads me to believe you don’t have either of those assets and are subconsciously upset about it, or you’ve never been in a position to be a leader and thus you don’t value good leadership which Bryce oozes with.

      I said this last night to family. You can look at Bryce as not a “strong and physical” presence and that’s not going to change on you can look at it, that this guy has the type of skillset that sets him up to only get better for the next 5-7 years every year. He’s not going to know less about the game next year than this year. His timing will be better, his pocket presence better (even though the guy works around a pocket amazingly in my opinion), everything is just going to improve every year and I believed he’s already proved the doubters wrong other than nut huggers on here who just want a big strong man to drool over.

      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.
