Nate Boyer released to make room for Jake Waters

[hawknation2015]

Another bit of news from this story is that BJ Daniels is being moved back to QB, and actually practiced at QB on Monday. Daniels will be the team's third string QB, implying that Archer is 2nd and Waters is 4th. So we'll probably get a decent amount of playtime from Daniels at QB the next couple preseason games.

Carroll was pretty adamant about the fact that Daniels was not being "moved." He is staying in the WR room and continuing to practice at WR, in addition to being used in some situations as a practice QB.

Here's what I was referencing:

Head coach Pete Carroll said after practice that Daniels would serve as the third quarterback for the team this week against the Kansas City Chiefs.

I think they view Daniels as a Antwaan Randle El type. He's probably just filling in on an emergency basis.

I'm not worried about him, you can never get a winner down. cheers

Poor Tyler Lockett can't escape Waters.

Lockett was the one who suggested Waters to Carroll. He is extremely high on him, and convinced the team to take a look last month. Then, down goes TJ and Waters phone rings..

Replacing Kam as the emergency QB....

im glad this happened sooner then later. Now all the crazy people can stop talking about his chance to make the roster. IT WAS 0% CHANCE THE WHOLE TIME!!!!!!!!!

There was a young man out of Western Washington University that signed as a free agent LS for the Seahawks in 2007, was cut in spring training but that fill and time opened the door for the new few years and finally in 2012 he made the Colts as a LS, replacing Justin Snow who was a great LS. at that time, no gave Overton a chance to unseat Snow (who as a pro bowler the year before and had been with the Colts for like 10 years). Never say never, the cost compared to the position compared to the ability of the players is so close that anything can happen. All this did was give Boyer some film and an opening for maybe another camp next year or a different league for a couple of years why he hones his craft. I wished it would have happened later so he could get a little more time on tape.

Boyer is 34 years old, 5'11" and 185 lbs soaking wet.

To contrast, Gresham is 6'3" and 250 lbs.

I admire the hell out of Boyer, not only for serving our country but having the balls to follow his football dreams. But dude ain't catching on anywhere as a legitimate long snapper. He's just not big enough to handle 350 lb nose tackles.

With the current rules, Boyer would never have to handle a 350 pound NT.
That doesn't mean he would not be a liability trying to tackle in punt or kickoff coverage.

He said he was still on top of the world even though he got cut, thanked everyone that supported him, and said he may not be done yet.

Yeah, I bet Lockett is pretty bummed at the prospect of playing with this guy again.

Lockett and Waters combined for 106 complete passes, 1,515 yards and 11 touchdowns last season. Waters threw for 3,501 yards and 22 touchdowns on the year, setting a K-State record for single-season passing yards.

Loved that interview! Nate has a terrific attitude that was contagious even in the Seahawk locker room. Too bad that he doesn't play Quarterback!
