Nate Burleson Out For Season

X00115_9_tiny by FizzleDrip on

Our shallow end just turned into a wading pool as far as WR depth is concerned. This sucks somethin awful. I was rooting hard for him this season, as he is O'Dea's NFL representative.

This is a crushing kick in the nuts to a team that already has a contorted testicle. That early bye is looking better and better.

I hope that Bobby and Deion aren't rushed back too quickly and reinjured. Those young'uns reaallly need to show up this weekend.

Update by John Morgan: No way to twist this into anything good, but I will say I never saw Seattle's offense really relying on Burleson. He's proven himself an inconsistent receiver overvalued for his athleticism and after Sunday, he looked to be the same player in 2008. The question of who steps up is oderous. I want to say Courtney Taylor, and one game hasn't broken my faith in the guy, but the player aside Taylor, Jordan Kent?, is a damn scary prospect indeed. Seattle's overall talent at wide receiver has truly hit the redline.

where'd you hear this?

I’d only heard short to medium term rumblings

link?

Assuming this is true, this hurts but is not the end of the world unless branch and engram are rushed back, we have very winnable games on the docket up through the bye week and hopefully then we can look at getting guys back and fixing up the receiving corps.

That said these injuries are really breaking my balls

i was dramatic at the time

it could have something to do with the debacle yesterday and that our only reliable offensive players are matt, who now has nobody to throw to, and big walt.

ya, i still think that we’ll win 11 games but still….it’spretty hard to be optimistic right now

yeah, holmy was on KJR, said he is done for the year. Also made it sounds like they will look to ads a WR from outside the team.

It was bullshit, by the way, that Reebok denied him the right to wear the Ocho Cinco jersey yesterday.

It is his name, so he has the right to have it on his back.

What about Babin?

Former 1st round pick, had a good preseason. He wouldn’t be worth as much as Tapp, but we wouldn’t really miss him and he’d be a little bit more incentive to a team along with a draft pick.

by Strang on Sep 8, 2008 3:10 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I agree

but I think he has a bad stigma around him as a bust in the NFL’s eyes. I was thinking he would fall into Tapp’s role.

I'm also assuming we'll see a lot more of Seneca

Frye might have just become the #2 QB

by MFAN on Sep 8, 2008 3:04 PM PDT   0 recs

I'm having trouble imagining a trade for WR

with Seneca available. it’s a short term need anyway, what with Engram and Branch seriously entering the picture in about 4-5 weeks.

by Will Kier on Sep 8, 2008 3:13 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

When Seneca Wallace is suddenly high on your WR depth chart

your team had better be trying to find a WR.

by BrianL on Sep 8, 2008 3:15 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I guess

but I might be more optimistic about Taylor And The Gang’s potential this season.

by Will Kier on Sep 8, 2008 3:17 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

You can still call Frye the #3 QB and not have him count against the active roster

He could only play if #1 and #2 are both injured in one game. #2, being on the active roster can still play QB, KR, WR, RB, whatever offensive/special teams position the team wants. Seneca is still #2.

How was Buffalo's turf after all that rain?

We know GB’s field was a mess when Branch went down. I wonder if Burly hit a sink hole.

I say Payne.

Sure it was a tiny sample size, but at least he caught two of the three passes unlike most of the other receivers. I actually think he could be like Jurevicius was in the Half-Dream Season.

yeah, I don't think it's a big deal

The Hawks have a ton of depth at RB. I’m not too worried about Mo being out a few weeks.

The whole point of LL's rule is what I believe is a virtually universal truth:

A lot of people absolutely love fantasy sports, but no one cares about other people’s fantasy teams unless they happen to be in that same league.

I run a keeper baseball league, and I’m playing fantasy football for the first time this year — with two teams. So I’m not some curmudgeon. I love fantasy. But there is virtually nothing less interesting to me than how many points Adrian Peterson got you tonight. So with that, I have to assume that an equal percentage of people (0%) give a damn that the interception Tavaris Jackson threw with 1 minute left in tonight’s game caused me to lose by ONE GODDAMN POINT in one of my leagues!

In my opinion, we’re spoiled by LL’s strict rules in certain areas that tend to annoy or start fights (no fantasy, no religion, no politics, no stating dumb ideas without defending them). But we can’t expect those rules to be applied elsewhere. It’s a nice model, but it only works in a certain environment, I think. Field Gulls is a great, up-and-coming site that probably shouldn’t be alienating anyone. Lookout Landing can afford to tell annoying people to go away. I have to think that applies here.

BUT: I will say that it’s a blast to talk fantasy with people who are in your league. And seeing as how there is apparently a Field Gulls fantasy league, I have no beef with it here.
______

And since I’m already on a long rant, let me introduce myself, since I really only started commenting yesterday: I’m Teej. I grew up on Vashon Island but live in San Diego now. I’m a Lookout Landing reader, so that’s how I heard about this site. I love the Hawks, and I’m excited to have another hangout that features some pretty awesome analysis and a lot of the LL regulars with whom I’ve become so familiar. So to John and everyone else: You’re doing a kick-ass job, and keep it up.

Go Hawks!
