Should strive to replace his skillset. Maybe Kyle Dugger in 2024.
They all think they have to be Kam. Only Kam was Kam.
I post lots of negatives about JA (the player) but he isn't actually BAD when compared to the average NFL safety. He is actually about average.
The problem is the Seahawks using $20M+ cap/year for an average safety.
Combined with the $15M for Diggs and his average level performance, the Seahawks are wasting too much cap on average safeties.
Next year, Adams has a $26M cap hit or $20M dead cap hit. Diggs has a $21M cap hit or $10M dead cap hit. That's $47M for a pair of average safeties (instead of the $10M- most teams pay) or a $30M dead cap hit for nothing. Wasting $30-37M that could get some top-tier OL/DL really sucks. Positional value should mean something.
Roster mismanagement by PCJS does not warrant taking it out on the players through constant criticism. But we do because we're fans.

Adams is playing great. He’s always in position in coverage and the defense has been massively better with him on the field. So he whiffed on a blitz, even tho he was too wide on the angle. It’s hard to stop your body when the qb climbs the pocket

I've posted before. Adams is spectacular, both in the way he wins and loses on plays. He is fast and his speed shows on the field...but he outruns himself at times and forgets how to tackle properly often.
This is not something new...this is how he played since he came into the league.

Did everyone watch the same game I did? I thought Jamal Adams played pretty well, especially against the run.

With all the injuries and rehabs, I think physically Jamal may never the same, but I also think that mentally, it may take more games or time for him to feel confident to go all out. The current Jamal, we may be looking at a 65% of his prime, once he goes all in, we may see a 85%?
But even at 65%, he is still contributing, not a liability.
My 2p.

Whats wrong with him?
Nothing.
He's why we are able to play so much dime. The dude fills 'DE', LB and Safety roles on the team. Take him away- how do we accomplish that? We don't. Bryant is the closest thing and he is no JA... even a one legged JA.
Folks need to be asking what's wrong with BWagz. But that one is obvious. Sure, we aren't dropping 20 mil on him annually, but opposing QBs ARE dropping dimes around him constantly for big plays in crucial moments.
Renegotiate with Jamal next year and fortify the LB spot. I'm not sure Bobby has any game left after this year.

Incorrect. Many posters here were calling it a bad trade from the very beginning.

As good as our corners are now, and they're very good. The Hawks need to figure out the safety position next year.
WAY too much cap invested in Love, Diggs and Adams for slightly above average play out of the safety position. Good team leaders, and mostly solid play. But again, for how much these guys are making combined? Should be elite safety play, not just good.
Jamal is one of two team members who engaged in remarkable injury recovery efforts.
Jamal Adams is playing thru a lot of discomfort. My understanding is that the team will continue to monitor both his play and recovery needs thru out the remainder of this season. We will continue to see him and his sideline heating pad. Especially as winter closes in.
Adams will benefit from a full off season of recovery time as part of the process of returning to his best.
Next year will be addressed in due time.
Meanwhile ...... more dime please verses pass crazy offenses.

I guarantee you Pete and Clint will agree with you after watching our LB's get torched on the game tape.
Both Brooks and Bobby struggled something fierce in coverage yesterday. Brooks doesn't look right, his hamstring is obviously bothering him badly.
Either way, the teams we're about to face are going to destroy our LB's with crossing routes and force them to chase TE's and RB's all over the field wearing them down.
Brooks is the other one. He'll benefit from a full off season of recovery.

I'm mostly disappointed with Diggs. He's been meh at best the past couple of seasons. Love is getting adjusted to a new team and Adams is coming back from an injury. Diggs doesn't have those things as excuses.

In the attached video he talks about his recovery and knee issues. Right on target Jville.
