I can't help it, I want Stewart more than ever.

I know, Julius Jones, TJ Duckett, Morris and Weaver.

 

It sure seems like the RB situation is handled. Combined with the fact that we have other potential areas that may in fact be of more importance, It seems like the RB situation may be settled, and we will be able to concentrate on other areas such as DT, OL, TE or even possibly, the Safety or WR position.

 

But I can't help it, especially with the release of Shaun, not that his release has any impact on the future of the Seahawks ground game, other than the loss of a significantly figurehead.

 

Stewart to me is one of those players who I feel like can be a back of the future, and combined with Julius Jones, may have the ability to create a Jones-Barber situation here in Seattle.

 

Stewart's physical skills for one, are tempting. The fact he's a local athlete is tempting, and the idea that from Highschool to the NCAA, he has lived up to the hype that the media has set for him.

 

The injury history seems to me like nothing more than a good reason for why he might drop to us. It's clear to me that with Jones, Duckett and Morris in the backfield, Stewart isn't going to be taking 20 carries a game. For a 230 pound runner, all reasonable logic would do nothing but support the fact that sharing a load would lessen the chance of injury.

 

I know Trevor Laws is a great player, and I know his presence would help improve our defensive line. But at the same time, I have a hard time giving Julius Jones the reigns to the offensive ground game. I am in agreement with signing him, and with Duckett as well, there are obvious areas that needed improvement.

 

But Stewart is just so tempting. I can't help but want him on the Seattle sidelines. He doesn't seem like the type of player to fade away, and not ever be anything in the NFL. He has great character, has had no off the field troubles, and more than anything to me, has been a hard working football player and has accomplished his goals on every level. Players like this are hard to doubt.

 

 

A place to bury strangers.

If Stewart is there at 25 I'll eat glass

Although I remember when Marcus Trufant slipped into the Seahawks’ hands. Boy was I a happy camper that day. This will take even more luck though, and it’s highly doubtful.

I am hoping Ruskell trades down and aquires more first day picks.
