Seattle Approaching Full Strength

Scrappy Second Half Spoiler?

That would seem the way this season is heading.

Danny O'Neil I could kiss you.

Quarterback Matt Hasselbeck is expected back on the practice field this week, wide receiver Deion Branch may not be too far behind and defensive end Patrick Kerney's shoulder injury is not as serious as feared earlier this week.

Kerney's procedure was of the "clean out" variety. The mighty Deion Branch is almost recovered from his career threatening heel bruise. Can we just cut through the bullshit and admit the guy wasn't ready to return? It's a bit frustrating that a normal recovery period for a torn ACL is now filed under the Branch Lexicon of Softness.

The way this season is shaping up for the ScrapHawks is a lot like the 2006 49ers. They won't likely catch the Cards and their soft-ass schedule, but could very well sweep and humble them on the way to 7 and 9. But not Seven of Nine.

Dammit, a few minutes too late to post this.

Man I’m happy. We absolutely need Hass back, even if we’re out of contention, I’m not sure I can watch Seahawks football much longer without him. Plus my fantasy team depends on it, this could net me $300 especially since JJ and Carlson’s production hinges directly on Hass’s health.

was that a ST: Voyager reference I just read?

If not, I am a dork.

If so, both John and I are dorks.

It is...

kinda. I actually thought it was Deep Space 9. So…I’m merely a pretend dork.

Why not just go 2-14 and get a top-5 draft pick?

We should get invest on a LT like Michael Oher that’ll eventually replace Walter Jones.

baaaaaaaaaaad idea

we don’t want anywhere near a top 5 draft pick until the NFL starts cracking down on the absurd salaries draftees are getting. The top guys are very talented, but the money we save with a lower pick can be used to retain other talent and sign better FAs.

I agree.

I like the fact that we’re headed toward a 6-12 pick.

Same, if I had a top 5 pick, I'd trade down every time, even if all I got was a 5th rounder as extra compensation.

And if I had no biters, I’d take up the whole time to draft, and move down 2 draft slots. That’s how much I wouldn’t want a top 5 pick. No sense in getting an Alex Smith or JaMarcus Russell.
