Not sure why Pete was so hush hush about it. He said they'd make a move today. It wouldn't say what it was.

I hope he's active tomorrow. Would like to see one or two red zone targets to him. We need someone to step up.
Not against this addition but the one thing that disturbed with Matthews is I didn't see much of a spark in the guy. Size aside, he didn't seem to bring much to the position last time around. OTOH, he didn't get a heckuva lot of opportunities either.
The FO has been making some pretty savvy moves here as of late so hopefully the trend continues.

He had to make it official first. Just good business. Since Matthews was on PS technically anyone could still swoop in until signed on the dotted line.

I'm not surprised at all. I was guessing it would be him or Dion Bailey called up. The reason Carroll didn't tell anyone until today and they didn't make this move earlier in the week is because Pete wanted to retain the element of surprise by not giving the Eagles the opportunity to prepare during the week to defend a taller receiver on Seahawk red zone plays. The lateness of this move during the week also suggests that Matthews will be active tomorrow.

To me it suggests that no one better became available between Wednesday and Friday. Chip Kelly ain't changing his game plan for freakin' Chris Matthews. I'd be surprised if he was active tomorrow.

Oh ^%$&. The Hawks just elevated Chris Matthews from the practice squad.

I get that everybody wants to be hopeful based on physical attributes, but what about Chris Matthews is more interesting than Luke Willson? Red zone targets do not have to line up at WR, just look at the Patriots offense.
Willson is taller and stronger than Matthews, and had both a quicker 40 yard dash and a much better vertical jump. More importantly, he has caught passes from RW before in the NFL. He dropped too many passes early but has looked better since coming back from injury. Moeaki has also been good lately, but for some reason Hawk fans just look at our WR heights and start feeling insecure.

Chris Matthews is our secret weapon of mass destruction. You can only hope to contain him.

Front office and the coaches say he's ready to go, then he's ready to go. Don't care what happened before.
