Jamal Adams

[balakoth]

Seriously.. brain dead takes here.. its a doctor and independent specialist who determines it .. with whatever factors they use...

To big joke Valor boy before.. screw this board. Bye bye

For me it was Jimmy Graham. Especially after how Wilson vouched for him to come here. It just never worked out. It's clear the Seahawks like TE's who can block.

I'd put that on the coaches. You don't go out and trade for a world class square peg and then try to force it into a round hole. Should have built packages around his skills and not try to force him into a system he doesn't fit.

 

[FattyKnuckle]

How'd he do on the other 9 plays?

He blitzed the QB and got juked, but still pressured Jones. Had a fantastic hit/tackle in the flat that fired up the sidelines. Don't really recall the other 7.

PH we lost a 1st, but lost 2 #1's for JA. However, JA is not a cancer. I think he is a good team player from what little i see. JG sucked 'cuz we lost Unger as well.

I'm hoping JS/PC are done with the splash trades. We tend to lose when we seek the star players.

Trades like Marshawn seem to work better. Good players being held back for some reason. Don't mortgage the farm and get players that have the potential but for whatever reason they haven't excelled, are overlooked, etc.

Adams seems to be extremely well liked by both players and coaches.

Damn he took a knee right to the head. that sucks.

The impact Jamal had was from the SIDE of the head, in a sideways direction, which (from my non-expert personal experience) seems to cause concussions more that any other type of impact. It doesn't look like much, but that side impact... concussion city.

I was coaching a middle school girls soccer team, and 1v1 battles were a team staple... one practice a girl fell and hit her head sideways on the (VERY SOFT) grass field, and from that little innocent looking fall... CONCUSSION! Actually had TWO girls get concussions that way, same practice. Never any other time. It was like, "Damn! Do I have to have these girls wear bike helmets just to do 1v1s?" I mean, it was all I could do to take it seriously, (I did) because it seemed like such a slow-speed, light impact, HOW could THAT cause a concussion?

I'd expect Jamal back after the bye.

hey man out of curiosity, what do you think is the worst trade of the Pete era? I think this turned out to be in hindsight, but at the time it wasn't a terrible trade.

Easily the Percy Harvin trade. It cost us a *minimum* of one super bowl. The same can't be said about any other trade in team history.

The day before our trade for Harvin we were doing really well with cap space and still had our 2013 1st round pick. The day we traded for him we no longer had a good cap situation and the Harvin trade guaranteed that it would be Golden Tate's last season with us.
Harvin did nothing for us during the 2013 season, so we made it to the super bowl without his help, and won by so many points that his TD was meaningless.
The worst play in sports history never would've happened against the Patriots and we would've won back-to-back championships if we had Tate + extra salary cap space + 1st round draft pick instead of Harvin's aborted 2014 season.
It gets murky after that, but Seattle's decline all starts with the Harvin trade. That was the day that we officially stopped getting better and started our decline. I know it sounds weird saying that since we won our Super Bowl *after* the trade, but our Super Bowl roster was already built before the trade as evidenced by the Hawks making the Super Bowl without Harvin's help. The Harvin trade was the beginning of the end, and cost us at least one super bowl.

PS. Both of Pete's 2 worst moves were trades + an extension before ever playing a snap for us. It's one of the dumbest things a team can do, and Pete's done it twice.

Adams balled out. You can already see his energy. Dudes been out a year+.

Unfortunate knee to the helmet. But, if that was a glimpse of what’s to come, you haters can go ahead and start cooking your crow.

Welcome back Prez!!!

With the way he plays the game, he won't last 4 quarters.

I like the heart he plays with, but understand that his playing style carries a significant risk for injury.

If he can't stay healthy for more than a game this season, he might have to hang 'em up.

Supposedly he was already considering retirement before. Add a concussion to the list and he just might. If he suffers another injury this year I wouldn't be shocked if he retires. As much as I hate every aspect of the trade, it isn't his fault that a team was dumb enough to trade for him and give him a blank check. If nothing else, I bet he wants to put this period behind him. A change of scenery with low expectations might be his only way of continuing his career.

IMO, JA doesn't need to get riffed by us on this one for being sent out on CC protocol. But as noted by a poster, that's not the way to tackle.

 

[907 MILITIA]

Jamal needs to learn some basic fundamental wrestling take downs and body positioning awareness. Attack the hips, wrap up, connect your hands and it’s easy to take someone down when they are that athletic and strong. He decided to fly like Superman going head first face down towards Daniel Jones shin bones/ knee caps like he was scared or somethin! That had me gigglin. Jamal needs Jesus folks! Sending prayers for rest of Jamals season and career! Come on JP we pulling for ya and we need ya!!!

I'm proving why you can't prove me wrong given by definition you are living in a fantasy world so obviously you are wrong and I have nothing to prove. Again your turn. The guy is worse then Uncle Will he's literally a walking injury st best.

Dang uncle will too… Jamal is really tough though

He's definitely a dude you need to account for which we lack on this defense. Gonna free up other guys to make plays for sure.

Why is this forum sooooo black & white on everything. Adams is really fast and makes some highly athletic plays...sometimes electrifying. However, his tackling on that play was horrific. I chalk it up to cobwebs... but he tackled the grass a yard ahead of the runner with his face in the dirt. That is not the way it is supposed to be done. See what you hit...basic coaching from pee wee league. That doesn't change when you get to the pros.

I am happy to have Adams back and think he can help in the box and across the LOS, but understand we will give up yards at times from plays he whiffs on. It's also highly reasonable to believe he will not make it through the season.

For his own health, he may need to consider retiring after this season. It's unfortunate due to his athletic capabilities...but it might just be the best thing for him and the team.

Ready for the diatribe to follow....Wts. On my way! Bac

Rust…shaking it off.

Rust…shaking it off.

Gotta love the passion and energy though. It’s something echoed from all the staff and players who talk about him. And it resonates with them too.

So true! His energy gets the whole defense hyped.
I don’t think it’s coincidence that Spoon went off in the first game Adams was back. He has “it” too.
Great post…thank you!

I don’t see this happening. I get the dissatisfaction, the negative trade value, etc.

But this guy’s a warrior. He’s not going to stop. He feels like he owes this franchise and I’m betting that he intends on paying the Hawks back.

He’s not a ‘normal’ guy….

Never know but, my gut tells me he has a chip on his shoulder and is going to ride that every…single…down.

Out of curiosity, If Jamal did retire how would that effect the cap going forward? I hope he doesn't, I want him to play but just curious.

Any money still owed to him would get counted against the cap if he retired. That's part of the reason why "guaranteed money" is paid in different types of bonuses. Not all "guaranteed money" is *fully* guaranteed. I believe players forfeit roster bonuses and workout bonuses if they retire. Those are "guaranteed" in the sense that as long as the player is still active and/or showing up to the team's facilities they are guaranteed to get that money.
