Seahawks activate TE-Ed Dickson and waive CB- Jamar Taylor

So ends the mystery. Updating

I'm starting to suspect there's a Seahawks personnel lurking these forums...

Really stoked to see him back in the mix. He's basically an extra lineman. Fresh legs and likely very fired up to contribute. He can add to the offense with his hands too. Taylor just seemed out of position a lot and rarely seemed to finish plays.

Glad to see. Dickson is legit when he's healthy, and we're thin at his position.

Good to hear. Hopefully Amadi gets more reps at nickel. The kid is too talented to be relegated to a backup role and special teams.

Taylor just seemed out of position a lot and rarely seemed to finish plays.

Every time I saw him he seemed to be chasing whoever caught the ball from behind. Was always getting beat.

Diggs played some NCB for Detroit as well so that change remains a possibility.

 

[Jerhawk]

It's Ugo time baby!!

 

[SoulfishHawk]

You get the feeling the Diggs addition is going to be huge for this team. He just looks natural out there and fit in right away. The way Detroit players and fans reacted to the trade, it makes even more sense why they were angry. Looking forward to seeing Ugo out there more as well. These draft picks are turning out to be pretty solid overall, much better than many assumed. Plus, they are getting those reps which is the only way to develop in this league.
Having Dickson back on that line to help w/blocking is big imo. The pass blocking still makes me nervous, and having an extra body in there to block can only help.

Getting Amadi some snaps is going to have growing pains but it's time to grow.

We've been painfully thin at TE for several weeks. Hopefully, Dickson can step right in and contribute.

I think we are going to see a lot of "big Nickel" this week with Blair, Diggs and McDougald all on the field at once. That'll help keep Ertz in check and Eagles don't have great shifty receivers so bigger guys in the secondary should work out.

Finally!

Getting rid of Thompson (which has already been proven to help) and Taylor is REALLY going to make the secondary way better.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Yeah, glad to see Taylor be done. Was much happier then T squared wasn't in the mix anymore.

I see you posted this in 2 different threads. Not happy about it or anything are you Fade? :mrgreen:

So Pete finally realized that Ugo couldn't do any worse than Taylor, and Taylor's "experience" was not translating to his play. Looking forward to this change!

It took way too long. Pete says he "hates" to give up on guys, but I'm glad he chose to go with the hotter hand.

 

[HawkGA]

Wow, from basically starting nickel back to being shown the door. That's a bit unexpected. My hope is for Blair, Diggs, and McDougald, but I suspect Pete is gonna leave Diggs at safety.
