I think we found a decent FB, and if you can't cut it in Cleveland you have no business on a Seahawk roster.
They have the same record as the hawks and are 1st in their division.
RE: Tukuafu - He is 30 years old. One year younger than Mike Rob.
I've never understood the fascination so many people seem to have with Small. You're implying cutting Tukuafu right now because he is 30?? To make room for a fullback that PC and JS didn't think was good enough to make our final 53? I'll take a 30 year old 280 lb monster Tukuafu for this year and next year at 31. Tuk is simply bigger and better than Small.
You do know Tukuafu was on the street three weeks ago......
Im implying they search for a long term answer and Tukuafu at 30 is not that. Tukuafu was not good enough to make a 53 either and he wasn't snatched up right away either. Lets not act like he is gold. People are in love with his size/weight....not the reality of him as an actual player. Funny.
I don't understand why everyone thinks Tukuafu is a good FB. ONLY conclusion I can make is fans look at the size.
Are you serious?
Coleman beat out Small.
Tukuafu in already 2 games looks light years ahead of Coleman as a pure lead blocker. And what matters most is Lynch, and Lynch seems to trust Tukuafu and those two bad asses seem to feed off who can truck more players.
Yeah, let's just blow up that chemistry up.
Frankly, though M-Rob would still be playing in this league if he didn't have that bout with Mono plus wasn't allergic to pain relievers... it made him older than he was.
,
Will Tukuafu is 30 years old but since I believe he entered the league, at 25/26, and really has only been a rotational part-time player for much of his short career probably is more around 28/29 years old in Football years. He's probably now just hitting his prime as a player and can play another two years at a high level.
And if I'm the Seahawks, I'm looking at keeping Lynch around for two more seasons, so if Tuk continues to do well and develops awesome chemistry with Lynch, it wouldn't be out of the question to keep him around for that same time frame.
And for me that's enough time Michael to take over as the #2 in 2015, co-#1 in 2016. And for the Seahawks to find or develop another FB...my choice would to pay Turbin decent backup RB money (2-2.5 per) and beef him up to 240 and let him be a hybrid FB/RB.
