Bad news. He was playing well, and Pete called him "The best tackler in the draft that year."

Too bad, he was finally playing at a serviceable level.

That's a bummer. He was starting to show some promise out there too.

I hope TT is ready to play. Safety is getting extremely thin.

Move Akeem King to safety. I think he would be pretty decent in that position. He's faster than Tedric Thompson (when TT is healthy). He did a good job against the Chiefs.

Dang, bad timing. Special Teams will also take a hit.

If you consider our opening day roster the Seahawks are one of the healthiest teams in the NFL.
We are maybe missing 3-4 (Earl/Hill, Griffin, Sweezy - depends on where you rank Dissly/Dickson) of our 22 optimal starters.
A lot of teams are missing a lot more than that.

Based on what?
King has never really played safety in the NFL, he was drafted as one but was practice squad fodder for about 3 years. He hasn't played significantly at all until we moved him to corner.
He's given up two touchdowns this year, one against the Bears and the one against the Cardinals last week where he got caught with his eyes n the wrong place. I'm not sure you want him at safety.

He's a significantly better tackler than Thompson. I would love to have him in the box with McDougald deep to be honest.
I'll miss Delano's continuing development for the playoffs.
Mean while ...... under the radar ...... there is that former 2017 7th round project under the Raiders Ken Norton who Seattle traded a 2019 7th round pick for ..... Shalom Luani. There is also the versatile Maurice Alexander who has some useful experience and utility at safety.

Hill really took a step up late in the season. Playing time obviously contributed to his progress. Same with King. Many thought Hill and T2 were failed picks but they couldn't get on the field last year with the three guys ahead of them.
Looking forward to seeing Hill, Kendricks, Dissly, Simmons, Jamarco Jones, Darboh back and providing competition and depth for 2019.

Tre Flowers was a safety prior to being drafted. If a safety can be taught to play CB, then I have confidence that a CB can play safety (tSeahawks have been successful with moving DBs to different roles). King did well against the Chiefs. He has speed and range. He can be a cover safety and let McDougald play SS (which is what Bradley prefers to do). King has been with the Seahawks for 2 seasons, he has some understanding of what they are doing so he's not like a rookie there. With that said, I'm sure that Thompson will be back and playing safety. I think Tedric is slow for FS but that is just my opinion.

Yeah, watching Zeke run around him for 44 yards. I don't want King at safety. He can cover a tight end but his angles/containment don't impress me at all.
