Seahawks Shake Up Practice Squad, Re-Sign Forsett

PrintSeattle has re-signed Justin Forsett and added former Montana State quarterback Travis Lulay. To make room, Seattle cut running back Matt Lawrence and wide receiver Trenton Shelton. Just great news. Good to have you back little big-man. I would advise Seattle move Bumpus back to the practice squad and get Forsett back at punt returner, but the team will likely wait until Deion Branch can return to do so.

It almost sounds as if Lulay is just injury insurance right now.
What are the chances we cut him in a few weeks?
Lulay is pretty terrible
You may gain some yards on the ground, but eventually Lofa will end up biting you in the ass.

But the big question is this:
Does Lulay mean we’re going to have to wait even longer for Scrappy White Guy Brian Russell to take snaps at quarterback?
He's pretty savvy and gritty and cerebral.
He’s already quarterbacking our defense; it’s a waste of scrap to keep him from quarterbacking our offense. We should be getting Russell reps at every position. I bet he could tell Jon Ryan to kick the ball farther and Deion Branch to stop getting injured. We already know how he coached up Seattle’s secondary to excellence, can we waste those talents having him play only one position?
If we had a team consisting 53 Brian Russells
we’d never lose. Such grit and veteranocity!
Feel the love
Russell’s worked up to the full Willie F. Bloomquist treatment. Is he now Brian F. Russell?
Why don't we just cut McMuffin when Branch is back?
You may gain some yards on the ground, but eventually Lofa will end up biting you in the ass.
See when I suggested that McMuffin would be expendable when Branch and Engram returned
people thought I was crazy but holy crap those routes have been ugly.
Last week he showed why he hasn't stuck in the NFL

Luckily it sounds like Koren isn't being held back this week.
If we’re lucky we’ll get to see him take some snaps Sunday.
Is he going to return kicks?
Frankly, if we’re going to get anything out of him I think it’ll be on KR.

Lulay is terrible,
if you wanted topped out big sky quarterbacks why not sign Eric Meyer

IMO, Bumpus has been fine at PR.
Aside from that brain fart vs. St. Louis, of course. But, with so many guys on the roster that can also double as returners, I don’t see Holmgren using a roster spot for a return specialist this year. Forsett would just wind up being inactive if he was on the 53 – just like he was in Week 1. Even when Branch is healthy, I’d think that Bumpus as PR and spare WR adds more value to the roster than Forsett as a 6th RB.
Ideally, if K-Rob could then take over KR duties from Wilson, that’d be awesome.
one wonders if they're going to put him on the practice squad AGAIN
because who’s he going to replace on the roster?
The thing with Forsett...
for me is that this is a wise roster move just on merit alone. I don’t expect much in the way of contribution from Forsett this year. But still, the move that makes sense here—get a promising young player for next to nothing whom you really shouldn’t have let go in the first place. The ability to basically admit and correct for a previous mistake restores a little lost faith in the front office. In a division where every team has major flaws, whether you’re 1-3 or 3-1 doing things the right way has a way of being meaningful sooner or later.
