Yes, I am bringing this up again.

I don't believe as an offensive coordinator, you let such talent go to waste on the bench because of the letters beside the players names. We saw Jeff King out wide last week, mainly to motion in and block on running plays.

So why not Barnidge and/or Rosario out wide?

I asked them about it at lunch this week. They both kind of gave me that look like they would like to really comment but couldn't. Rosario only said that "we know all the plays" in half agreement with me.

I just want to see it once. Moore under center with Williams as a single back. Smitty out to the right wide, King on the line, Rosario in the left slot, Barnidge out on the left wide. Great pass catching talent out there, but if you need to audible a run you have 3 TE's out there blocking for you. Those two guys are massive. I am 6'2 200lbs and felt like a third grader standing next to them. I can imagine how a 5'10 180 CB would feel. lol

Maybe I will draw it up on a napkin and send it up to the booth Sunday.

Surely if they were in the slot they wouldn't have CBs facing them? With all three TEs on the field the opposing defence is not going play mutiple CDs, at best one would get a favourable match up. The other two would have LBs on them.

Regardless I am still unconvinced they would be any better than our possession WRs.

We've seen that Rosario has the skills to be a go-to reciever..SD game '08...and if Barnidge had a signature play it would be the long pass down the sideline, he's run it down at times and caught the ball deep other times. He is as much of a vertical threat as any of our non-Smitty recievers, plus he has a distinct height and hands advantage over most DBs. Rosario in the slot...King blocking

3 TEs...it sounds almost crazy enough to work...esp in the red zone because of the check-down-to-run option it gives with bigger blockers on the outside...

in any case...if it seem like a good idea, Fox probably won't do it.

Damn, I was kind of hoping maybe the team is trying to keep something up their sleeves with them playing out wide, but that does not sound like the case :(

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      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. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      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
