Beast mode two more years!!!

Why is next season so far away

alchemist33 · 08-03-2015 11:52am

It feels even further after the way the last one ended. But moving on, moving on, desperately moving on...

TheDoctor · 08-03-2015 2:22pm

i remember beating the Packers and not much after that. Yes that must have been the end of last season

Don't know how I feel about this, considering Julius Thomas was free, either way, huge step up from poor Miller

Neil3030 · 10-03-2015 9:18pm

Massive weapon in the red zone, but Unger is a pro-bowl centre, is Lemuel ready to step up?

And that's our first round pick gone!

Gained another fourth round pick which is where in recent times the Seahawks have picked up some gems

alchemist33 · 11-03-2015 1:15pm

Assuming he stays fit, I would be extremely happy with Graham.

Wasn't Unger injured during our bad spell last season? That wouldn't auger well.

If we get the Graham of 2011/12 then yes it's a excellent addition.

Unger was a fantastic blocker, but it's hard to forget how bad he is with snapping the ball. He's had some desperate snaps in his time and it seems as if they've had enough of it.

A good centre isn't that hard to find, a good TE is extremely hard to find.

Either way, this season expectation will be enormous.

TheDoctor · 11-03-2015 1:43pm

Anything less than 16-0 regular season and SB50 win and I will be bitterly disappointed

On a serious note, Pete and John obviously havent seen anything better in the draft re. TE and so have gone for it.
Look at the O-Line at draft day, a WR?

Neil3030 · 13-03-2015 1:29am

Carp to the Jets
Smith to the Raiders

$14.5m cap room left.

Whats the news on Wilson new contract?

nasty_crash · 13-03-2015 11:41am

they will prob wait for a couple of weeks before finalizing that deal - cut a couple more fringe players - free up a bit of cap space etc. Wilson deal is pretty much gonna bring Seahawks up to the cap mark! He is gonna get paid!! Say around the 20 mill mark tbh

TheDoctor · 13-03-2015 12:28pm

Dont think it will be that high, he doesnt strike me as a grab all player either.

He doesnt strike me as a grab all player - but at the same time if you consider that he has lead the seahawks to back to back superbowl games - and with the amount that he creates for the offense - i can see them going big - because thats the market - Aaron Rodgers loves Packers - still signed 21 mill contract - Drew Brees is at saints - there in salary cap hell - and he is still on 20 mill! Franchise qbs get paid!

First two seasons were not great. He was overweight, half decent run blocker but a revolving door in pass protection. He trimmed down a bit and did well last season, started moving people on running plays and his pass blocking improved, though still his weak point. If he stays in shape he is still young enough to improve more. Penalties will drive you nuts though.

However, part of me wonders if last season was him playing for a contract, as it appears as though no move was made to try keep him at a time when we have lost a good deal of depth on the O-Line and the price (~5m) wasn't all that huge.

Another thing to consider is the zone blocking scheme that Seattle have been running - him being of the more cuddly variety of gent could benefit more from a traditional setup.

If he stays fit and motivated, he'll do well. Jets seem to have a good bit of cap at the moment so 5m probably not the hugest punt on record for a starting Guard.

TheDoctor · 24-03-2015 11:43am

Up to 11 draft picks now, time to get some 4th-7th round gems!

You'd have to imagine on the balance of probabilities that we'll unearth one or two gems in there.

TheDoctor · 26-03-2015 10:04am

Do have a good recent track record.

How are we feeling about the 2nd/3rd round pick.

No idea to be honest.

Two fourth round picks coming up in a few minutes

alchemist33 · 02-05-2015 9:32pm

Our second round pick could be a bit of a handful unless he's turned a corner in his life. Third round; well, we obviously need better WRs and kick returners.

And now we've gone for offensive linemen in the fourth. It would be nice if Russell didn't HAVE to run around so much.

How good any of these guys are, I have no idea.

TheDoctor · 12-05-2015 7:56am

Maybe they should also have to forfeit the Super Bowl too......

Brady & Patriots ?

I thought the fine & suspension was too small. They should have had to forfeit all their games that were questionable, not just the SB.

Or else, have another extraordinary playoff with the seahawks & winner takes the Bowl. That would be historic.

With all the peds abuse from Seahawks player I was surprised that they didn't lose draft picks and get heavily fined over it.

TheDoctor · 12-05-2015 11:15am

Wouldn't have affected them anyway, Seahawks haven't made a first round draft pick in years.

I'd settle for replaying the last 30 seconds of the Superbowl

RUN THE DAMN BALL!!!!

TheDoctor · 31-07-2015 6:15pm

Wilson 4 year extension $87.6 million

Signing bonus $31 million
Avg salary $21.9 million
Guaranteed $60 million

Big numbers.

TheDoctor · 02-08-2015 12:54pm

And now Wagner signs a four year extension.

Our Cap space must be blown at this stage.

TheDoctor · 02-08-2015 8:39pm

Kam now holding out on a new deal.

Tony McDaniel released.

All action in week 1 of training camp.

TheDoctor · 24-08-2015 12:29pm

Not the most inspiring pre season so far

0-2

Any news on this? As of Monday, it was looking like he was going to go. I'm getting a vague sense of the team's strengths being diluted, although it looks like we have a decent kick returner this year at least.

Speaking of which and sorry to bring up old painful memories but:

why didn't Lynch run to his left and head for the corner on this penultimate play, it was wide open ! :eek:

In the end he chose to follow 46 and got bottled up at the 1

TheDoctor · 10-09-2015 7:53pm

In relation to Kam, he gave an interview to some NFL reporter saying he wasn't looking for more money just to front load more into this season. Says his team and Seahawks management are about 1 million out in terms of agreement but he will meet half way.

TheDoctor · 10-09-2015 7:55pm

Lockett has looked good pre season alright, scored two TDs from kick returns, one of 103 yards V Broncos. Plus one playing WR.

Morisee, too soon man!

alchemist33 · 10-09-2015 9:40pm

The sooner the season starts and we can wash the smell of that night off, the better!

Queue a season of commentators reminding us of that play everytime there's a play from inside the 2 yard line.

TheDoctor · 11-09-2015 9:36am

Watching the build up to the Patriots Steelers game last night and seeing highlights again of SB49. Ugh.

Going to have to look at SB48 or the NFC Championship game v Green Bay over the weekend for some balance.

TheDoctor · 14-09-2015 10:32am

I hate the Rams. Every bloody year!

alchemist33 · 14-09-2015 10:58pm

Yeah, they're a right bogey team for us. Very disappointing result given we'd fought back to lead. That onside kick decision -- I guess if it had come off, we'd have been raving about it but it was such a critical point to do it. And where have we heard that this year...

TheDoctor · 15-09-2015 9:14am

If I heard "Oh they're going to run it this time" once more!!

Back to the game - offense looked weak. Wilson was sacked 6 (I think) times, Lynch didnt get that much go forward ball, some of the snaps Wilson was picking up off the floor, never looked a real threat, one TD was Lockett being Lockett and another a sack recovery where the ball could have gone anywhere.

Defense wasnt up to its usual high standard, badly missed Kam, highlighted with the slip that allowed the Rams run in the TD to take the game to OT.

And now the easy matter of Green Bay on the road. A 0-2 start to the season is more likely than not!

TheDoctor · 20-09-2015 10:59pm

Debating to stay up for tonight.
