    Prevent Defense

    Actually I saw it coming. Seer and I used to talk about it all the time. After the 2-6 start you had the 5-3 finish and very easily could have been a 6-2 finish if not for the OT loss in the desert to an equally hot Cards team the last game of the season. Since 6-2 of course projects to 12-4...

    Prevent Defense

    I agree for the most part but expectations were changing on the fly and by the time the playoffs rolled around they had legit Super Bowl aspirations so in that sense they kinda fell short. A lot of people besides Seahawk fans were picking the Hawks to win that game in Atlanta and they no doubt...

    Prevent Defense

    Agreed. The focus is actually on this year. Water under the bridge and all that but part of focusing on this year is understanding what went wrong last year when it was all on the line, especially since we got most of the same cast coming back.

    Expectations for Seahawks' James Carpenter

    Thanks for posting the list. I'd maybe put Tez, Walter Jones, Easley and maybe Shaun in a class above all the other 'great' picks. The others on your list were maybe great draft picks but those four were just great, period. All were arguably top five in NFL history at their respective...

    Prevent Defense

    Brock Huard had a good article on mynorthwest a while back critiquing those two plays. They actually ran five guys at Ryan vs five pass blockers and failed to get any pressure on Ryan, partially because of shoddy coverage. They even had 3 defenders vs 2 Falcon targets in the area of the first...

    Wilson vs Kaepernick comparison

    All I know is that Crabtree is a huge loss for the Niners. One thing's for sure, nothing the Niners have will stack up to what all three, Crabtree, Manningham and Boldin would have done. Once Crabtree and CK found some chemistry he was putting up some serious pro bowl numbers the last 5-6...

    Josh Portis was arrested

    Portis was a longshot anyway, even if he'd had his act together. A lot of raw talent but QB skills were way off the NFL level. When you have a 58% completion rate at Division 2, it's a long, epic road to being NFL ready. This is just evidence that he wasn't committed so, no big loss. I'm...

    Josh Portis was arrested

    Hey, long time no seer :laugh: I wonder if this will affect Portis's status with the team or his already tenuous job security. Word of advice to all you drunk drivers out there. If you don't want to get caught, then drive under the radar for crying out loud. In other words, don't do...

    Wilson vs Kaepernick comparison

    If I'm not mistaken, I think he only had 4 deflections the entire season. Even if all four of them were thrown inside the pocket, I'm guessing the ratio of deflections to total pocket attempts will be significantly better than CK's. But I wanted to find the actual numbers to confirm it, both...

    Wilson vs Kaepernick comparison

    Concerning the stat comparison on Wilson inside the pocket vs out, if you can find any info on tipped passes/pass attempts from inside the pocket and post it on here it would be much appreciated. I'd like to compare that to CK's numbers. Niner fans seem to be hung up on the height issue...

    Wilson vs Kaepernick comparison

    It seemed as though the Rams were quite successful in containing the edges the last game of the season and Wilson was struggling for most of the game. But then again he was facing both outside containment and inside pressure, which shouldn't happen unless the OL was getting manhandled. If...

    sherman wanting more money?

    Thanks for the link. Some good, informative stuff. Basically it kinda goes back to picking their poison when it comes to who they can retain long term and who they will have to let go. I'm totally with you on Zach. He's never really been an elite, as in maybe top 2 or 3 class TE like Gates, Tony...

    Wilson vs Kaepernick comparison

    Some good points from all who posted. Szat makes a good point about RW's ability to extend plays and it was that ability that first put them over the top against the Bears and it was on display many times afterward during their 5 game winning streak and the playoffs. It was that ability late...

    Wilson vs Kaepernick comparison

    Crappernick has one of the strongest arms in the league but Wilson can sling it too. Superior arm is part of his scouting report and I can't think of any past Seahawk QBs with a better arm except for possibly Rick Mirer and even then, maybe. I think people assume he doesn't have a strong...

    Wilson vs Kaepernick comparison

    If Kaepernick has a stronger arm, it's probably not by much. And I see a lot of people saying Kaepernick is faster but the combine numbers say otherwise, more like a dead heat with a slight edge to Wilson. CK's definitely got the height advantage. Does that really matter all that much...

    sherman wanting more money?

    "Your direct statement implied that Luke could replace Zack, 'when the time is right'. And Im saying not gonna happen" Conceivably, he could. And there's no way you can know yet if he's a different TE type or not. You basing that on the 9 receptions Willson had in college last year? There's no...

    sherman wanting more money?

    szat, as far as Willson vs Zach Miller, I didn't say that. I think you totally missed my point. I was using Willson as an example of how cheaper, younger talent makes older, higher priced talent expendable but I in no way implied Willson's ready to be that guy after ONE minicamp. Come on...

    Wilson vs Kaepernick comparison

    Interesting take from a Niner b/r writer's perspective. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1638971-colin-kaepernick-vs-russell-wilson-which-qb-is-the-best-in-the-west

    sherman wanting more money?

    Na I agree with that. I didn't mention Irvin because he was a first round pick and I was referring mainly to lower picks but I guess he's relevant to the subject too as long as the Hawks can get good value out of his play for what they're paying him. Since Irvin's been brought up, how do you...

    sherman wanting more money?

    I see what y'all are saying. I'd have to say no, not unless he hits Revis '09 level. Sherman's probably better than Revis now but he's not yet as good as the '09 Revis. He hasn't hit that level yet. He's fairly close but not quite there. If he does, and he's good enough to almost...
