    Sataoa Laumea at LG

    I love his willingness to move around, but I'm always nervous of having players switch sides. The footwork is so different and it takes ages for it to feel natural unless the person is naturally ambidextrous. It's possible he excels there, of course, but I'm more comfortable with a player...

    ATTENTION ALL ……

    This captures my thoughts, too. Is there a way to force the first new thread a user creates to be in the Introduce Yourself! forum? It would limit any spam to that forum—making it simpler to track it down and delete it—without disrupting the experience of most new members (although it might...

    Do we have a playoff roster?

    As others have said, given the fact that "playoffs" = ".500 team" then sure, the Hawks probably have a playoff roster. But given that the real question is probably "do the Seahawks have a roster to be in the top 2 or 3 tiers of teams," then no. Not yet. Let's look by position: QB: solid...

    POLL: Way Too Early Draft Grade

    I wanted to go B, but it wasn't an option so I went B-. A+++++ for the first two picks, but I don't love the LB pick (I think that S was a bigger need and there were better players there) or getting two CBs and a blocking TE on Day 3 when a LG or C would have filled needs. I get the BPA strategy...

    Personality Hall of Fame

    Great start. Marshawn and Bennett are shoo-ins. It's hard to argue with Sherm, and I'd throw Pete's name in for consideration. Mike Rob is also worth discussing. But when I look at my list, I don't like how it's biased toward the LOB years. Without the media saturation we have now, though, it...

    Hawkblogger talks draft, trades away...

    I'm also a Chelsea fan (unfortunately) and good gawd that fanbase is a fickle mess. I hope it's not that bad here!

    Hawkblogger talks draft, trades away...

    One mediocre/bad season isn't reason to trade a promising player on a cheap rookie contract. Even if he's not a scheme fit right now, I want a good defensive coach to have the opportunity to turn him into a good player for that scheme.

    To move Cross, or not to move Cross?

    If some enormously graded LT fell to #16, then, sure, pick him. LT is such an important position that if you're sure the long term answer is on the board, then you pick him. I just think that's so unlikely to happen as to be irrelevant. The truth is that our tackles are not the problem, unless...

    Trade DK?

    Mahomes is the difference. With him, you can get by with lesser WR talent so it makes sense. Without him, you need more quality at WR. The part of the Chiefs blueprint I do want to copy is by building through the OL. That was the worst part of Pete's roster construction and I'm hopeful that with...

    Hey everyone! I've been posting a long time, starting around 1999 or 2000. At first it was just the PI forums, but then I spent a little time at SeahawkBlue and Hawkshack before ending up here. I don't post a ton because life's busy, but I lurk plenty. I grew up in Renton but moved around the...

    Stream Hawk

    Hey Stream, I'm also moseying in here after the Shack got taken down. Good to see you!

    Students Of The Game

    This poor Bama-centric YouTuber posted a phenomenal breakdown of Grubb's UW offense before the Hawks swooped in. It's super smart and the guy is hilarious.
