PrintPatrick Chung Reportedly Still Awesome
Seattle didn't sign the missing component to their D, and, yes, a bird in the hand, etc; and, yes, the thought of Seattle retaining Brian Russell is horrifying like nanotech-Ebola, but there's some good to be had here.
Seattle needs depth at tackle and the best player they're likely to sign is Ray Willis. It worries me that Seattle has shown no interest in the berserker colossus. With Phillips off the table, maybe Seattle sees him as a best available talent. Willis has shown potential at right tackle and right guard and gives them the kind of flexible depth to weather an injury. Seattle's offensive line needs talent, depth and potential--bad. Willis has a little of each, knows the system and knows the surrounding players.
Seattle is in a sweet spot to draft a safety in the second. Phillips, for all his solid play and fringe benefits, is weeks shy of 30. He upgrades Seattle's defense now, but declines as it improves. Seattle doesn't need another leader in the secondary, it needs a raw talent that can grow and mature with the team. The benefits attained by signing Phillips are attained by adding any quality, run-stopping safety. Like, say, Patrick Chung.
Or even Patrick Chung.

But I'm interested in Sean Jones.
And have begged the same question. I hear he’s visiting PHI today.
Jones
A second-round pick of the Cleveland Browns in 2004, the 6-1, 225-pound Jones is third in the NFL with 14 interceptions over the past three seasons behind Ed Reed and O.J. Atogwe.
I hear he gets burned a lot though, and not necessarily a great tackler.
Which makes him the safety equivalent of Antonio Cromartie or Asante Samuel.

That gives the impression that he's really athletic
but it’s kind of apt. Not really athletic. But he is a playmaker. He’s not super strong against the run, although it’s what he’s known for. He’s no Brian Russell in coverage, but he’s never been too good, either.
I could take that, for a SS. Our nickel and dime depth is good, for now. Bring him out on passing downs. He’s in his prime. Pursuit of him is so quiet, I imagine it must not be too expensive.
Ruskell's interest in Chung
is minimized by the fact that he knows he will draft Eugene Monroe with the 4th pick. Just a guess.
Got my mind on my Chungy and my Chungy on my mind.
In all seriousness though, the Hawks need depth too, even with a drafting of Monroe.
Well, if Monroe starts at right tackle...
…then Locklear is depth. If Monroe sits the bench until Jones retires, Monroe would be depth at least for tackle. Wonder if he could function as guard depth as well?

Why is this still so freaking hilarious? ‘Serious John’ lets loose, I presume. Relentless advocate. Refreshing.
John, I'm concerned about you
With so much hope in a Chung pick, I’m afraid you’ll crash like a diabetic with one too many energy drinks when we don’t pick him.
That doesn't look like William Moore!

Don't be concerned, John just wants Seattle to move up one more Chung in the ladder
yikes, someone put me out of my misery for that one.

Personally Chung I would have Patrick to agree that Chung Patrick resigning
Willis is Patrick a good Chung idea at this Patrick point.
Lets Patrick go get some Chung safety talent Patrick in the draft.
Patrick Chung.
I tried to read this post
by de-chunging it and translating what resulted, but the Chung power was too immense. I ended up failing miserably, and all I could translate was two words…
Patrick Chung.
I would be so happy if we get Chung..being a Duck of course and fawning over him the last couple years
There is nothing more I really want from this draft than to be able to buy a Seahawks Chung jersey.
I fucking hate you Mariners
How about
TWO Seahawks Chung jerseys?

Btw,
John, you were double-linked and quoted by Sando about the Colin Cole and Phillips article.

Babineaux isn't really a good defensive back.

Hah, sucks to be him.
Gave him a chance to get out of that train wreck, and what does he do? Cries and goes home to slummy Tampa.
