Parker cut, Michael Bumpus promoted

I was very happy we gave Bumpus a chance after the draft, although I didn’t think he would get much of a chance with all of our young WRs. I was both surprised and impressed when they didn’t cut him again and again.

He had a lot of experience and production in college. I think that even as a rookie he is right now much more ready than Jordan Kent and switching Kent and Bumpus is an intelligent move for the Seahawks. It’s too bad he wasn’t on the roster last week, to get him some experience in that game. But we couldn’t know that Burleson would go down.

Yes. Why bring in Parker and have him waste precious reps at practice?

I suppose they had to sign Parker in order for him to disappoint at practice and get cut. He can’t practice without being signed.

Coutu is still on the roster right? That defies all common sense. Ruskell must really think that Coutu will unseat Mare very, very soon. Coutu had been hurt so they must think he will recover and be able to get his kickoffs past the 10? Even if that is the case I think that stinks. Training camp and the preseason was plenty long of a window for Coutu to win the job. It’s senseless losing Kelin Johnson, Kent, or Forsett to keep Coutu on the roster, I highly doubt Coutu wouldn’t have made it to the PS.

I do agree with John though that I don’t think Forsett was going to be a LT/Portis type of every down machine. He had a nice shot of being a Darren Sproles type-of S/T contributor and backup, or maybe even a very cheap Mo Morris.

We should get to see Muscle Buckett hit people today though. Yes.

Couldn’t agree less. Duckett has a lot of talent, not just as a short yardage back. He has the speed to get to the outside and can catch decently too. He has pretty much only been used as a short yardage back but that doesn’t mean that is all he can do. Have you actually watched him play or just skimmed the stat lines?

He is not a one trick pony. And if he is a one trick pony, it is a trick that is the shit and matters in many types of situations. He can blow guys back on first and 10, second and 10, you name it.

Weaver is a talented runner and pass catcher, he still hasn’t quite made the leap as a run blocker which is what we mainly need him for. He is playing on his RFA tender this year and will likely be gone next year as the Owen Schmitt era begins. I anticipate a very long and not very well publicized career for Shmitt, following in the footsteps of Mack Strong.

Taylor has really sucked but I don’t see much reason to part ways with him. I’m sure he’ll make the practice squad after the two suck fests he put on tape for all the NFL GM’s to vomit over. Payne on IR frees up a roster spot but Seneca’s injury is one where the timetable is tough to predict, meaning someone will have to be cut so we can have enough receivers next week. Cutting Russell (please!), costs us a spot for bringing up Adams, although if this happens I am sure that Wallace or Babs will be the starter. We could solve all our problems by letting Coutu drift to the practice squad but why do that!?
