Less ye forget...

lest ye forget -- half of those starters got cut

and davis is injured, beason is moving to weakside, connor is starting at middle linebacker... our entire defensive line is completely new minus brayton. and since moose retired, there's no proven wide receiver for Moore to go to when Smith is tripple covered. with fingers crossed, let's hope DJ can really step it up. but we'll see...

Damn.

The Don is pretty quick to point out these changes as negative. I agree that win streaks from season to season are ridiculous, especially under the circumstances of NO playing scrubs and us not even going to the post season.

However, I think these changes were largely necessary and are for the most part positive and at the very least intriguing. This will be the most interesting season since 2003 IMO.

What in the hell about the last several season's starters and potential would instill the slightest bit of confidence anyway?

yeah, davis played a HUGE role in that win streak didn't he? i wonder how they will recover from losing him.

oh yeah, brown and johnson sat on the bench for the whole game every game. how many proven receivers did moore have to go to when smitty broke his arm?

he will also have both RBs back in top health. he will have smith back. he will have more targets. he will have his Oline back. that defense, though with a bunch of new parts, will have the luxury of learning their roles and some familiarity of meeks not-so-new system. oh...and special teams...not going to suck as much. all the makings for good field position no matter which side of the ball takes the field.

lots of reasons to feel good about the season but go ahead....focus on that negative. lots of stuff to build on and that is the big thing for this year.

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
