    To the doomers and the optimists:

    Your post starts with an ad hominem attack on all other posters on this forum, states a list of opinions with "FACT" in front of them to try to add credence to your opinions, and finishes by saying that everyone who disagrees can take their opinion and "shove it where the sun don't shine." This...

    Some un-fun conclusions about the OL vs the Eagles

    Our guards need to get in the weight room. Neither can anchor a bull rush to save their life.

    Reasons for Optimism in the O-line.

    So you say this in another thread but can't understand when my point that it's better than we give it credit for. I didn't say it was good. My point was that it would look better with different/better RBs. Would Alex Collins succeed behind this line? Maybe. He tended to dance behind the line...

    Reasons for Optimism in the O-line.

    Alex Collins didn't really get a fair shot this year because we had so many guys and the team obviously didn't want to give up on its big investment (Lacy), the glass man (Prosise), or Thomas Rawls (who's can't read his blocking, just broken). AC had the third most rushing yards for the team...

    Reasons for Optimism in the O-line.

    Philly played Dallas without Tyron Smith and Zeke Elliot but I get your point. This weekend is going to be tough sledding, especially in the run game. Fletcher Cox is a beast and our interior OL isn't really known for being people movers. However, he's not known for being an all world pass...

    Reasons for Optimism in the O-line.

    I'm not entirely sold on the fact that the run blocking isn't better than we give it credit for. My eyes saw holes that RBs could run through, but Eddie Lacy takes so long to get there, it closes up and he just falls over.

    Reasons for Optimism in the O-line.

    As much fun as all these doom and gloom threads are :sarcasm_off: , I think we need to look at some reasons for optimism. First, as with all other seasons, the line is making progress throughout the year. https://twitter.com/hawkblogger/status/935581057365110784 Including a 90.4 pass blocking...

    It’s time for the Seahawks to end the Eddie Lacy experiment

    Eddie Lacy isn't quick enough to play behind this line. He takes a few steps to get up to speed and if that initial area isn't blocked well enough, he just leans into the pile and falls over. Marshawn didn't have great top end speed but he could start, stop, jump cut, and be full speed again in...

    PRich needs to be an offseason priority

    PRich is a good #2 when healthy with a big injury risk. Problem is #2s are getting $8-$10 mill from other teams. The max I'd consider would be Kearse's old contract. 3 for $13.5 seems about right. Franchise tag Jimmy Graham. Or give him a 3 year contract with the first year guaranteed...

    Friday PC Injuries

    This doesn't have anything to do with being afraid that he'll get seriously hurt. Every play on the field is a chance for every player to get seriously hurt. The question is If this injury is such that the chance of being permanently injured is increased by the damage already done. If this is...

    Why did we waive Freeney?

    Also said that another team was trying to poach David Moore.

    Is Jimmy Graham Soft?

    I've seen him hold onto enough balls over the middle while taking huge hits to call him soft. He's not built like a blocking TE though. He's super lean in the lower body which doesn't bode well for his ability to anchor unless he already has a size advantage.

    Wilson's interception

    Pete said that the way that Lockette's defender played him, he (Lockette) was not at the right depth for the route. He was supposed to be multiple yards deeper which takes longer to develop and because he ran it too shallow, Russ throws it behind him and straight to Trufant. Failure on a timing...

    Why did we waive Freeney?

    McDowell is on the NFI list so he can practice for 3 weeks with the team before being added to the active roster. Since he's not practicing, it's very unlikely that it's him. Same situation with Shead. I think Pete said they're both a ways from the roster but Shead is ahead. That said, we're...

    Time to circle the wagons

    Home dogs for the first time since 2012. Time for the baby boomers to step up and make the world remember their name.
