That wasn't known when Pete decided not to put Adams on IR. He got lucky.And it hasn't really hurt the roster keeping him considering all our 53 man cuts were available to sign to the practice squad.

I hate being a conspirator but I kind of agree. Hated it then and I hate it now. The fact we have almost 60 million tied up in safeties when we can’t generate a consistent pass rush and haven’t for years is truly bizarre. I love Pete Carroll but he will go down as the most unique coach I’ve ever seen. An all time great in some areas and truly baffling blind spots at other times.I have a suspicion that I have absolutely no evidence to support. IMO Pete is so focused on salvaging this trade and resigning that he's making decisions that he normally wouldn't make if it were any other player. He's trying to save face.
Forsythe and Curan are the starting tackles this week.

He didn't even have time to get hard. He just made sloppyfloppy jizzums.Somewhere, in a home located on a rural street in Auburn Hills Michigan, Aidan Hutchinson just got an erection.
Yes and no. Adams' contract is so outrageous that even if he comes back only one week earlier than if he had gone on IR it makes a huge difference in terms of getting something in return for the salary. No other players who could've gone on IR make enough to really matter.I have a suspicion that I have absolutely no evidence to support.

Was more curious as to whether Spoon will start over Bryant. And if Peters was going to be pressed into duty over Forsythe.Witherspoon is a full go, and Stone is now the de facto starter unless they want to put one of our ps acquisitions there.
That's the problem I'm having. I suspect that Pete is using a non-football related factor to make a decision regarding whether or not it would be best for the team to place a player on IR. Rather than trying to "get something in return for his salary", it should be purely about what would help the team win games. Financial considerations should not enter into the decision-making process.Yes and no.

Coaches and GMs have a good idea of who they may lose to waiver claims. They made an educated decision and it worked out as they thought it would. I don't know how you can blame them for getting it right lolThat wasn't known when Pete decided not to put Adams on IR. He got lucky.
There's too many variables, particularly injuries, to make a credible educated guess. They got lucky.Coaches and GMs have a good idea of who they may lose to waiver claims.

I dunno - PC has been a bit schizo on a couple of players this year - Adams in particular.I still don't understand why Pete didn't put Adams on IR to start the season and bring him back after our bye.
Yeah, that's typical Pete. He has this knack for painting a smiley face on the direst of circumstances, particularly with Adams. To hear Pete tell it, the Adams trade and subsequent resigning was the biggest boon for Seahawk football in franchise history.I dunno - PC has been a bit schizo on a couple of players this year - Adams in particular.
One week we're getting training montages posted - he's back! He's meaner and stronger than we've ever seen!!! He's coming!!!
Then it's: "Well, gotta take it easy, do the right thing, go slow - you know - big feather bed with pillows".
Which is it? If he's ready to go and he's a beast - then start him.
Every player on the practice squad is still eligible to sign to another team. Do you consider them lucky each week a team doesn't sign one of them?There's too many variables, particularly injuries, to make a credible educated guess. They got lucky.
Whenever the fire Pete talk comes up I always ask “if you fire Pete who is your replacement ?” and will the team be blown up? Hawks have a lot of good young talent
To add... other than the LOB which some players were already there. Quinn built a stout defense/well rounded team in Atl. And Quinn has a very stout no-bs defense in Dallas. I wouldn't mind kicking the tires on Quinn.Dan Quinn would be my choice right now. He did get the Falcons to a SB as a HC which is pretty good. Hopefully he's learned a few more tricks since then.
I'm ready to move on from Pete and take the consequences. I can't stand his defensive philosophy any more. It makes being a STH an annoyance rather than a joy. Imagine screaming for 10+ play drives and the defense never rises to the occasion. eventually you just feel like giving up.

Good news is Witherspoon looks good to go this week.
I resemble that remark!Ha. she says Grandpa because he is old. get it? lol
I really don't believe that they give a sh*t about the team maybe going into the toilet, just so long as it ain't Pete blowing sh*t up, that way, they have a whole new HC to get p*ssed off about.Whenever the fire Pete talk comes up I always ask “if you fire Pete who is your replacement ?” and will the team be blown up? Hawks have a lot of good young talent
Iron manHe will be. He's the Lou Gehrig of our time!
