More under the radar, championship caliber roster moves. Clint Hurtt, one of the best defensive minded coaches in the game, now has a legit top 3 defense at his disposal.

I can't wait to see Pete holding up that Lombardi in February. What an amazing time to be alive! Go Seahawks!

Lol……Edwards looks to be a nice depth signing and run stopper at DE on the line. DE depth shaping up nicely. Long shot NT signing there in Merrill. I guess rotational depth or deeeeeeeeep depth down the chart.

Question. If a QB is sacked by a Forrest, but no one is there to see him fall, did it really happen?

Definiton of 'under the radar'. Dude is a ghost.

But... they got another 'big bubba' for the nose.

Run Forrest...Run! (Couldn't resist)

Forrest Merrill is clearly being brought in just for a look-see. At least he looks like he's from central casting--6' 1" and 338 pounds. Tough to find those huge space-fillers. He weighs 50 pounds more than Jonah Tavai, but I bet Tavai has a better chance of making the team than Merrill.

Tavai I think with his quicks is a disrupter, Gump is a Mountain that won't be moved, different type of NT, think of Tavia as a Curly Culp type.
