Cortez Kennedy elected to the Hall of Fame
"Brett, nice to see you. Don't worry, I'll come back to say hello again."
“Tez”, as he is fondly remembered by fans in the Pacific Northwest, received his sports highest honor today after being voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame by the selection committee. This was Cortez Kennedy’s 4th consecutive year as a finalist for induction into the Hall and now joins former Seahawks great Steve Largent as the only two members of the Hall of Fame to be inducted as Seahawks. Kennedy was voted in alongside former NFL greats Chris Doleman, Willie Roaf, Curtis Martin, Dermontti Dawson, and senior selection Jack Butler.
Cortez Kennedy was drafted No. 3 overall in the… Continue reading
Peyton Manning is a bad fit for the Seahawks
Peyton Manning may be able to sell more insurance than Aaron Rodgers. Life insurance.
Even if Peyton Manning is available this offseason the Seahawks shouldn’t call him. I understand the dots being connected. Manning is one of the best quarterbacks of all time. Tarvaris Jackson is not one of the best quarterbacks of all time.
A very good argument could be made that the quarterback position is the Seahawks biggest weakness. In fact, since the day we posted our January poll of the month, and I voted for the quarterback position with the first vote, readers of our website have decided that in their opinion the quarterback position is the biggest offseason need… Continue reading | 5 Comments
2012 Seahawks QB Candidates: Matt Moore
Matt Moore, Miami Dolphins
6-3, 203 lbs
2012 Age: 28 years old
Matt Moore is the second best Matt Moore throwing balls professionally in Florida.
What we like:
Accurate arm, able to lead receivers
Productive in 2011
Familiar with West Coast Offense
What we don’t like:
Arm strength is limited
Not a free agent, Dolphins will probably want to keep him
Has been inconsistent in the past
Summary:
For a guy who went undrafted in 2007, Matt Moore’s 25 starts to this point in his career are actually quite impressive. Moore took over the Dolphins starting job last… Continue reading
Dolphins have advantage on Seahawks for Matt Flynn, Ryan Tannehill
Hey Matt, can you set my jock strap down and hold this towel?
For those of you who want Matt Flynn to be the Seahawks next quarterback, some news came out that seemed good about two weeks ago. Adam Schefter reported that the Packer’s were “unlikely” to franchise tag Flynn, and it seemed like the Seahawks were going to be the clear frontrunners for Matt Flynn. I still have my doubts about whether or not Flynn is going to be franchised or not, but people who are more important than me are saying that he won’t be.
Then the Miami Dolphins had go to and hire Joe Philbin and screw it all up. And… Continue reading
NFL Mock Draft 2012: January 27
This week’s mock includes the two teams eliminated from the playoffs last week (Baltimore and San Francisco)(haha San Francisco you assholes). I still think Chris Polk is a first rounder. He doesn’t have eye-popping measurables. He’s like Rashard Mendenhall but perhaps more athletic.
I mocked another defensive end to the Seahawks. I love Ryan Tannehill‘s game, but I don’t want to see them reach that far for a quarterback.
The new Ocho Cinco is a guy named Whitney. Just kidding. He can't wear that number in the NFL. Dummy.
1. Indianapolis Colts: Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford
No matter if the Colts use this pick or trade it, the top pick in this year’s… Continue reading | 8 Comments
2012 Seahawks QB Candidates: Jimmy Clausen
Jimmy Clausen, Carolina Panthers
6-2, 222
2012 Age: 25 years old
"Hey, Coach Rivera, um… you see my mom is here, and she came all the way from California to see me play, can I at least hold for extra points?"
What we like:
Average arm strength
Accurate when he has time
Average athleticism
What we don’t like:
Poor decision making
Not accurate overall
Doesn’t do anything well, or really even above average
Summary:
At a point during Jimmy Clausen’s draft process there was some thought that he’d be a first round pick. The Seahawks passed on him twice… Continue reading
2012 Seahawks QB Candidates: Mark Sanchez
Mark Sanchez, New York Jets
6-2, 225 lbs
2012 Age: 26 years old
Mark Sanchez may be following too closely in the footsteps of his predecessor Matt Leinart. Less GQ spreads, more film please, Mark.
What we like:
Above-averages arm strength, decent accuracy
Above-average mobility
Has improved statistically each year though the Jets have gotten worse
Has played in an offense that poorly emphasizes his strengths
What we don’t like:
Will probably never be great, that’s why the Seahawks didn’t draft him in the first place
May have some bad blood with Pete Carroll
Questionable decision making ability
Is he really committed… Continue reading
2012 Seahawks QB Candidates: Kirk Cousins
Kirk Cousins, Michigan State
6-3 6-2, 205 209 lbs
2012 Age: 24 years old
Kirk Cousins is the offspring of two Cousins, get it?
What we like:
Three year starter
Average arm strength, above average accuracy
Not a scrambler, but mobile enough to run bootlegs and to pick up first downs with his feet on occasion
Experience in a pro style offense, takes most snaps from under center, and runs a lot of play action
Showed up in big games in 2011
What we don’t like:
Arm talent has probably already reached peak, and is only above average
Size is a question mark, may need… Continue reading
How much is Red Bryant worth in free agency?
Red Bryant played like a man possessed this season. This picture makes him look like a man possessed by Mike Tyson around Evander Holyfield's children.
One of the most perplexing free agents that the Seahawks have is Red Bryant. The 27 year old was drafted as a defensive tackle, but was moved to defensive end before the 2010 season. Since then the Seahawks defense has improved considerably when Bryant has been healthy, and though he probably won’t ever post monstrous sack numbers, he’s a valued asset on the Seahawks defensive line.
The confusion with Bryant, of course, is where he fits into the defenses of other teams bidding for his services. While we’ve seen… Continue reading
What is Marshawn Lynch worth in free agency?
That's a gold grill reading "Beast Mode." If you don't know, now you know.
The most important offensive skill position player free agent that the Seahawks have, unquestionably, is Marshawn Lynch. Lynch was essentially the lifeblood of the team’s offense this year, Beastmoding and Skittleing his way to 1200 yards and 12 touchdowns. The team had very few bright spots on an offense led by Tarvaris Jackson, but Lynch played at a Pro Bowl level despite playing behind a very young offensive line.
And in our January poll of the month, re-signing Beastmode was the second most common response to the what the Seahawks top priority should be this offseason.
But we’ve… Continue reading | 4 Comments
