I have targeted September 8th as the day I return to happy Kendrick. I've been told I'm a better human being when football is in the air. So how do we start the season 1-0?

-Get Beefy. Get Physical. Last years opener was a disaster because we showed up to a fist fight wearing sunglasses. This year put on your helmets and pound the Seahawks with a true running game. The read option will always be a wrinkle but the Seahawks are too athletic to run around. You need to run them over.

-Be prepared. The entire league knows who Russel Wilson is now. We know he needs throwing lanes to complete passes and we know he scrambles. Have a killer plan to confuse and control him. Luke needs to stuff skittles at the line of scrimmage.

-Play conservative for as long as possible. Then make the correct decision. You don't want to take risks because Seattle is built to capitalize on sloppy play. Be conservative and keep possession. There will come a time in the 4th quarter where you have to make a bold decision. Don't look at statistics from the past 20 years. Look at what you see on the field and make the right call.

-Special Teams. Stop Percy Harvin. This guy will be the edge in a close game if you let him.

-Show up. Set the attitude of our season. In 2003 we had an amazing home opener. People still talk about Proehl in the corner. We need to fill the stadium and be loud. Be proud. Get the team ready to go and put pressure on the Seahawks.

-Cam needs to show what we all saw the last half of the season from the get go.

-Ground and pound from our two backs

-Pressure from the D line to let the Keek roam.

-Solid protection from our secondary

And most importantly, show the world that we are not fuging around.

I wanna see intensity in all aspects of the game.

Greg Hardy is going to be showcasing his talents for the NFL in a contract year. Russell Wilson should be very, very afraid. He's gonna make that Palmer hit from last year look routine. If Wilson makes it through the game, I'll be shocked.

First things first, score more points than them.

this.

score early and often. put points on the board every possession. no punting. play aggressive in first three quarters and if we have the lead, stingy i the fourth. DO NOT give them the ball in the 4th. do not trust your D to stop their offense. stop their offense by keeping your offense on the field. never take your foot off the gas.

      Who will blow it Sunday?

      BPA comes with the caveat of positional value and roster need included. Never let the latter two completely overwhelm the first, however. Our FO seems to lean heavily into "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE POTENTIALZ!!!" as a fourth category and often it seems as the #1 overall pursuit. With as many needs as this roster has, I am not going to get upset over a real roster upgrade at WR versus some reach at EDGE or whatever other extreme needs we have. Overall, I want to see the roster get better. There is far, far, FAR more than one offseason of work left to get this roster into the top 10-12 in the NFL. That should be the goal.

      I would say we are more likely to get smoked by Tampa, blast Seattle and then perplexingly lose to Tampa again.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      In general, Dave Canales tends to target his TE's the least frequently of any position group(WR/RB/TE) during his three years of running an NFL offense.  However, if you notice this percentage has crept up over time. 2025 is the first year that TE has eclipsed RB in target percentage. Production has also gone up in 2025. This is a percentage of total output in each category. Canales has always used a very TE heavy offense. In fact, on average his offensive formations are 2 or 3 TE sets roughly 80% of all offensive formations. So, the question may be, with this uptick in total TE output, could an elite or top tier TE make a significant impact? I believe there is some evidence this may be the case. Here are a look at TE snaps and Cade Otten specifically. These are the snap percentages for all rostered TE's in every Dave Canales offense. The bolded cell is Cade Otten's whopping 96.46% of total snap counts in the single year he was in the Dave Canales offense in Tampa. This was overwhelmingly his career high. His production was higher with less utilization in 2024, however.    In conclusion, while I don't anticipate ever seeing a top 5 producing/Pro Bowl caliber TE performance in a Dave Canales offense, there does appear to be some evidence that an actual upgrade in our TE room would actually lead to increasing overall offensive efficiency. I think Otten's utilization rate does indicate that the splitting of time between our relatively even TE group would cede significant snaps if a far superior option were available. I believe this is an area we could(and should have this past offseason/draft) made a more concerted effort to get a dynamic TE threat, after the apparent failure that J. Sanders appears to have been.
