I recently posted a link from a comment made by JS. He basically said, the gold standard is to bring a physical brand of play. He and PC wanted to build a team that played like Pittsburgh or Baltimore. And, that's what brought Seattle a Super Bowl Champion.
Recently, the FO and coaching staff got too cute and we, as fans, followed with SPARC, split times, who's Seahawky ... making athletic ability the priority, not toughness or grit -- which by the way got the city a championship.
They signed two OLinemen and this placed went crazy. Why? Because they were not SPARC-Y enough. The team signed Clemons and BB and everyone thinks they are camp fodder. They are here to bring a physical type of ball....and I see Clemons take on a role similar to Lawyer Milloy -- when he tutored BamBam. Clemons will definitely help Clark and Marsh. As for BB, well, I see him kicking Larry Fitzgerald's ass when he lines up in the slot....and any big WR who thinks they'll run free just by lining up in the slot.
Now, the Hawks select two big bodied, physical players with their first two draft selections. Sorry no athletic guys like OT Spriggs. And they added a TE who can actually block.
Cable was hired because he built tough, physical, lines that will kick your ass. Robert Gallery and Paul McQuistan were not SPARC-Y, nor were James Carpenter or Breno - both starters on the SB winning team.
This offseason, this draft year is a sign the FO and coaches are going back to the type of players and play that won a SB. Sorry, no more Money Ball. No more SPARC-Y Ball. No Spread Offense Ball. This is going to be good 'ol physical Football.
And, I like being the bullies.....again.
