Ghosts of Cables Past?? (JR Sweezy back in town)

Sweezy is back in town....hmmmmm. Not sure I like this even if he did finally get it (kinda) before leaving.

According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, former Buccaneers guard J.R. Sweezy is visiting the Seahawks, and taking a physical.

Yeah, people freaked when he left, turned out to be a smart move. But, he's so injury prone it's hard to assume he would somehow stay healthy.

Due diligence is a Seahawk characteristic.

JR left Seattle because Tampa offered him more money than he could refuse. Unfortunately for Tampa Bay, they missed or down played the back injury that limited Sweezy's effectiveness in his final games in Seattle.

With the termination of the Tampa contract, he is now a free agent with a year plus between his Seahawk back injury and his physical health today. The Seahawk medical and coaching staffs are very attractive resources for him to consult and begin a new search for his next chapter as a lineman. He remains free to move about the planet ....... as he should be.

There is nothing surprising about the announcement of JR's visit. The VMAC is an exceptionally supportive environment ..... always striving to help others ....... become the best they can be.

Well that is wonderful if you are trying to save the planet. But putting together an NFL roster, I'd prefer to not turn our salary cap into charity work myself.

Your inference is of your own making. It has nothing to do with the post.

If it doesn't, then "always striving to help others" has nothing to do with the topic of possibly signing Sweezy then.

Due diligence and consulting.

It would be sad if Sweezy, in his current health state, could beat out one of our designated starters. Pocic and Fluker vs Sweezy?

To my knowledge, there have been no published reports or results from his most recent Seahawk physical.

I'm concerned about Fluker and Pocic, so I would appreciate the competition at right guard if Sweezy is healthy.

Sweezy bulldozed some nice holes during his time here. Not sure why you wouldn't sign him (if healthy) for the vet min.

Could Sweezy more of a finesse zone guy？

it's one thing to give sweezy the look-over and physical, but another to sign him if he's hurt. so, what i took from the discussion was that vmac will gladly help players and consult with them; but on the other hand, the seahawks won't be signing charity cases. it's kind of a paradox; seahawks are really interested in personal development and health issues, but by the same token, they've usually been fairly quick to cut ties when a player's abilities begin to wane. ymmv

No no and no. Dude would completely wiff every other play.

I could not stand Sweezy. However, if he's healthy, and that's a HUGE if, and takes the vet minimum, he's likely the best right guard on the roster.

Amen

I believe Sweezy will be a Raider not a Seahawk when it's all said and done. Probably a better fit for him to be under Cable anyways. Sweezy was hugging the ground a lot during his Seahawk days. Yes, he had the occasional power block but more times than not he was diving. He can work on his dive technique under Cable's watch.

Agree. Speaking of "Cable's watch", I think Gruden is about to find out how out of touch he has gotten working for ESPthen.

It would appear "ridicule" is the ulterior motive and purpose for initiating this thread.

Rule 5: Ridicule is man's most potent weapon. It's hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to the practitioners advantage ..... per Saul David Alinsky.

At least Sweezy seemed to be somewhat competent at cut blocks. He hit more than he missed and many had devastating effect, unlike Cable's latest efforts (cue 0/5 cut blocks image).
