Yes, sir. I would just like to thank the Seattle Seahawks for giving me a chance, and thank the 49ers for allowing me to move on. (...) Like I said, I’m sure the 49ers have turned the page, and so have I. I’m just happy to be here as a Seattle Seahawk. (...) (on how he'll fit in) That's up to the coaches. All I can try to do is work hard every day, play to the best of my abilities, try to mesh with my teammates. Y'know, try to help this team win.

Kentwan Balmer, following an afternoon's practice in which he saw limited work, mostly at 3-tech defensive tackle position, but also jumping in at the 5-tech end position.

He speaks!

He speaks typical bland playerspeak!

But it’s what happens. I was more interested in the “he’s practiced mostly at undertackle and some at 5-tech end” myself.

Good to know he’s here. Hope the E.J. Wilson connection will help him speed along. Dunno why the article tries to make something of the fact that Quinn once worked him out.

But not every player speaks as such

We can rattle off players without such tact til the cows come home. I’ll take lip service over an obvious head case any day.

Point well taken.

For a guy who’s maturity can be legitimately questioned after his very recent dealings with the 49ers, it helps to see a little maturity at this point.

"Try to mesh with my teammates."

This is something I’m wondering about. Maybe he didn’t mesh with some of the players in the 49ers locker room on top of whatever else it was bothering him?

And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
Twitter me and what not.
