    sherman wanting more money?

    Yeah I agree with that. Pete and John will find a way to retain them all. They are already thinking ahead as shown by what they got for Flynn. They traded Flynn mainly for cap space and not much else so they put a premium on cap space like other teams put a premium on draft picks. You would...

    sherman wanting more money?

    As far as that list goes, I'm guessing that in 3 years there's a good chance all of them will be gone. The Scharroll regime is going to try and maintain longevity and in order to do that, they want to stay young while at the same time establishing and maintaining a solid core. The guys they will...

    By the way, watching that clip in your sig never gets old :)

    sherman wanting more money?

    His injury history is mainly a fluke that just boils down to a string of bad luck rather than durability. As a matter of fact his durability was a big reason why the Seahawks drafted him in the first place so I don't think they are much concerned at all. We're talking about high ankle sprains...

    sherman wanting more money?

    Why do you think it might actually be less than his current salary? I'm not sure what the wage scale is for LT but I'd bet a top 5 LT won't be cheap. Some out there already think he's the top LT in pass protection in the entire league already. B/R has him ranked 2nd in pass protection and 3rd...

    sherman wanting more money?

    What is Okung making now? As far as making less goes, he's still progressing and improving quite nicely and would be a lot closer to his upside if the injuries hadn't disrupted his development. He'll be one of the top five LTs if he's not already. The only thing now keeping him back is...

    Sherm also had the fumble recovery on the Akers FG he ran back for a TD against the Niners too, I forgot to mention that.

    sherman wanting more money?

    I guess I might be in the minority but I thought Sherm bypassed ET this last year as far as being an impact player goes, no doubt in my mind. ET: 3 picks, 1 pick 6, 1 ff, 9 pd, 0 sacks, 66 tackles RS: 8 picks, 1 pick 6, 3 ff, 23 pd, 1 sack, 63 tackles Not meaning to take anything away from ET...

    sherman wanting more money?

    I pretty much agree with you. They don't strictly go bpa every time, there's always going to be some gray area there depending on the circumstances. But overall I think more often than not it's been the primary component to their strategy. If anything, addressing team needs now might be even...

    sherman wanting more money?

    The way they went about their search for a franchise QB might be a good example of talent over team need. They didn't really go all out to fill the need until this last year when they brought in both Flynn and RW. They were hurting pretty bad for a decent QB but rather than go after Kolb...

    sherman wanting more money?

    When you talk about those picks, like Okung and ET, they were made back when there were so many team needs that every pick they made filled one. But still they made those picks because they were the highest rated players on their board first and foremost, not primarily because they filled needs...

    sherman wanting more money?

    They picked ET over JPP because ET graded out higher on their board. They even felt they got the best FS in the draft over Eric Berry, that's how highly they thought of him talent-wise. JPP's upside as a prospect was off the charts but so was the bust potential. With all due respect to ET if...

    Vote for the Hawks to win Super Bowl by 5/13

    I see what you're saying. At least the hype won't hurt their chances in any way. Might increase the backlash if they fall short but any fan out there that's been around a while will have the proper perspective on it and know that there's no such thing as a sure thing. As a matter of fact...

    Vote for the Hawks to win Super Bowl by 5/13

    Why does the hype scare you? If they prove to be overhyped and fall short it probably won't be the hype itself that does them in, regardless of what the Hawk haters say.

    Seahawks draft

    Pete and John won't get it right all of the time. I just hope their talent eval on Michael as the better prospect over Lacy and Ball hits the mark. The other option would have been to keep the 56th pick and get Arthur Brown, which is what I was hoping for but oh well. Like many Hawk fans I've...

    Reports: Seahawks, Raiders finalizing Matt Flynn trade

    I was just gonna say the same thing. Flynn could have made for a solid starting QB and 99 out of 100 times he would have been the starter. Losing the job had little to do with Flynn not being up to snuff and everything to do with how well Wilson did. If you think Wilson is a top 10 QB now then...

    Any word yet on what the Hawks are getting in the deal?

    ESPN has Hawks #1 in power rankings

    I've seen the combine pics. But as big as he is he hasn't shown the same type of power, at least not yet. My opinion is more about what kind of RB Lynch is, not a knock on Turbin. I know he's built like a tank. But Lynch is just a friggin masher. Turbin should be, could be but just hasn't...

    ESPN has Hawks #1 in power rankings

    The new helmet rule sucks but at least it doesn't apply as long as the runner is inside the box, which happens to be where Lynch is most effective. So the impact on Lynch's production might not be as bad as some people think. Just out of curiosity I pulled up a clip of his TD run against the...

    ESPN has Hawks #1 in power rankings

    One other thing too about Turbin and his scouting report coming out of college is that some were concerned he might be a bit top-heavy in that his lower body strength is not in proportion to his upper body. That might be where Lynch has a substantial edge on Turbin power-wise is in the legs...
