I agree with you. Allen might have even been an upgrade in the short term as far as pure sack numbers go. But him being the only one left the Hawks could have turned to had we lost Bennett and the situation would have been a bit dicey.
Did you see what Griffen re-signed for? Turns out he...
Good thing too because Everson Griffen re-signed with the Vikings and that would have only left Jared Allen as their possible contingency plan if Bennett would have walked. There's Michael Johnson too but Johnson is probably out of the Hawks' price range.
Next step: re-sign Tate.
Team A is better than Team B because Team B beat Team C and Team C beat Team A. It's unbelievable how many people use that argument. There's a saying about 'any given Sunday'. So are you saying that the Rams are a better team than the Seahawks because they beat Indy and the Seahawks didn't...
I heard it as well. It's far from a done deal, they are just saying the Niners have expressed interest. No big surprise there. But if they do acquire him they will hamstring themselves to do it. And the Seahawks have an out if they lose him. At this point I'm not so sure it would benefit...
Oh, back to the "Wilson's an average at best QB, a game manager" argument. Hang your hat on that to your own detriment. And Beast Mode still has a couple years left in the tank before age will catch up with him.
If those are what you're basing the idea on that the Hawks are gonna take a...
What makes you so sure they won't make improvements on the offensive side this offseason? If the offense is as "pedestrian" as you say it is, then it should be fairly easy to upgrade (the worse they are, the more room for improvement). And as far as the pedestrian thing goes, do you base that...
Yes it is. And for the record, I didn't say the Hawks were going to repeat. The odds are stacked against them winning the Super Bowl next year just like it was this year. Too many X factors involved. But the Seahawks will have better odds than anyone else in the league next year and they...
The moves have the exact opposite effect actually. Are you really that dumb or is it just an act?
Better get used to the idea that the outlook for 2014 is that the Hawks are going to be even better than this year.
Dismantling? LOL. Dream on.
Clemens is a better QB than Bradford so it's highly unlikely the Rams would have won that game with Bradford. And even if the Rams had won it, big deal. They would have laid claim to beating the Seahawks while the Seahawks played their worst game of the season. A Pop Warner team should have...
Wrong again. Pete and John haven't been succeeding above all others in spite of themselves. They really are better than most or all at talent eval. It will continue and the Seahawks are going to be remaining on top for as long as Pete and John are running the show.
You can hang with Mel Kiper...
You forgot to mention the fact that Pete and John are far and away the best in the biz at finding those gems in the lower rounds and keeping the core of the team young and cheap. That's the reason they won the Super Bowl in the first place.
Since both players are seen as cap killers, the Hawks consider themselves at this point better off without them and their salaries on the books. Other teams know this so no one would compensate the Hawks for players they are being forced to get rid of anyway.
Not only that but I think if a...
Griffen's name is out there as a possible cheaper alternative to Bennett if Bennett moves on. He seems like the far more likely scenario over Allen for several reasons. Allen's a 3rd contract guy and he's in his 30s so probably the only way the Hawks would be interested is if Allen would be...
I've bveen hearing some talk about him possibly coming here, even at a discount. The Seahawks have expressed interest in the past about Allen too so that lends the rumor a bit of credibility.
If his price is too high though, I'm guessing the Hawks would probably try and acquire Everson...
Hate to say it but I've been telling people for a while now that once Lynch's current deal is done, the Hawks likely won't re-up. He'll be a cap casualty. It sucks but that's what I think will happen. It's gonna be his age that will put him on the fringe and if Michael pans out then that...
Forgot to mention there's also a good chance the Bengals are gonna lose Michael Johnson but I guess that doesn't really apply to the question of who was better in 2013.
Yeah. The Bengals might be better on paper, at first glance. They might be a little better at the top end with Atkins and Burfict. The Hawks' front seven also has the LoB to back them up. The Hawks' front seven might be a bit more balanced across the board though with more depth. They got...
