We're Not Done Yet, Apparently
Hawks expected to sign RB Chris Henry to PS -- Per Danny O'Neil, via Adam Caplan. There you go Vasili.
Mike Williams is assigned jersey number 17 -- per Mike WIlliams. I wish he could've kept 1, but at least 17 is still low.
Sando says that 1.) Gibbs taught his ZBS to our new OL Coach Ruel when he was consulting USC. 2.) We are expected to keep the same scheme. We're just going to populate it with players who don't fit though. It's called West Coast Zone Blocking.
Hawks sign Raheem Brock -- Per Brian McIntrye. H/T to Nate. He's 32...jussayin'. He seems too big for a LEO, but they could think to rush him from the interior on passing downs.

Those super low numbers can only be worn by receivers in the pre-season.
Once the regular season starts, they have to wear 10-19 or 80-89, if my memory serves me correctly.
That's the rules
10-19 was opened up to wide receivers, but 1-9 is only available when 80-89 and 10-19 are all taken, such as perhaps the opening of camp.
so j jones is still on the roster
until further notice.
any other active roster RB possibilities?
is there any possibility they don’t cut jones as reported?
just go with forsett, washington, ganther?
Anyone know what style of player he is?
How’re his vision, acceleration, top speed etc?

Backup leo
Brock is a short term backup solution behind clemons at the Leo along with Dexter Davis…hawks will draft a Leo type pass rusher in 2011 in top rounds I would imagine

Played with the Colts throughout his career, and Bradley's system from Monte Kiffin is technically modified by Dungy's Cover 2, so yeah.

Whoops. Forgot Pete's running the show

There's been talk about trading him
Or cutting him if no trade develops.
Chris Henry...
Is he one of those guys with monster off field baggage?
by broadbill birdwatcher on Sep 6, 2010 12:24 PM PDT reply actions
Not the Bengal
I believe you are mistaken for the Cin. Bengal Chris Henry. He died in a tragic car accident last december in which he was ejected from the back of a pick up truck. He was a WR.
confirmed from o'neill:
The Seahawks announced fullback Owen Schmitt, safety Jordan Babineaux and defensive tackle Kevin Vickerson have been released.
In their place, Seattle added Michael Robinson, Junior Siavii and defensive end Raheem Brock.
so julius jones survives for a few more hours at least.
Rob Rang has mostly positive things to say about some of the unknowns the Hawks picked up yesterday.
I like most of the new pickups
I’m only really annoyed about Vickerson (wonder if the injuries were that bad) Wrotto and Adams.
Was Vickerson under that thing where if he were to play week 1 his contract becomes guaranteed?
by Scruffy Lefty on Sep 6, 2010 12:39 PM PDT up reply actions
So unless he is picked up by someone else if he might end up back with us.
(I’m just thinking out loud)
by Scruffy Lefty on Sep 6, 2010 12:42 PM PDT up reply actions
Maybe just for week 1?
If Vickerson was hurt its possible he wasn’t going to be able to play the opener. (Again this is all just speculation)
by Scruffy Lefty on Sep 6, 2010 12:45 PM PDT up reply actions
Yeah, you have to think something is going on there because he looked pretty dominant in the preseason.
And he was their guy, they traded for him.
I would hope so. But then again Josh Wilson....
So I have no idea
by Scruffy Lefty on Sep 6, 2010 12:50 PM PDT up reply actions
Not sure, I thought those guarantees usually activated if they made the final roster.
I’m not worried about Wrotto or Adams but I’m pretty upset about Vickerson. If nothing else he looked like he might beat out Cole for the starting spot.
Great post by Rob
Reading the descriptions of who we got, makes it make more sense. Not necessarily why did we get rid of who we did, but look who we got. Most of them are guys that fit the mold, have potential or are cheap hungry talent.
Funny how the description of Robinson mentions nothing about accuracy, decision making, pocket awareness
but he is light. So. I also enjoy the description of Green Bay’s line as “very good.” I respect Rang, but every answer seemed to be to the question, “can you explain why Seattle would sign _?”
That will lead to overly positive sounding responses.
Point is, I am perfectly happy with Seattle signing Robinson as a practice squad quarterback
but t say his problem is that he is too light is ignoring just how incredibly raw he is.
Thanks, lemon -- that was a good read
Nice to have some basis for optimism in the midst of the chaos.
I would also argue with the notion that Andrews is "a sure talent that can come out and contribute immediately"
He basically flunked out the last two seasons. He allowed 9.5 sacks in 2008 and then was shifted to guard and benched in 2009.
Yep, Max Jean-Gilles replaced him at guard because Andrews was a hazard at guard.
And the knee injury with the Bengals probably ruined him.
Mo Johnston is what John Schneider could be in 4 years.
This is just BULLSHIT!
I am on vacation, and have only my little netbook with me and every time I get a chance to check in all kinds of hell has broken loose! Babs is cut! Babs cut not confirmed, but other stuff is. Babs is cut! Emotional whiplash! Babs will stand forever as one of my favorite Seahawks of all time just because of that stop on Romo! Bye Bye Big Play Babs – Bon Chance!
Babs was horrible in coverage
Check the Minnesota drive that ended in goal line stand I think babs got beat three times in a row on third and long! I will always remember that romo tackle tho!
by Davis Hsu on Sep 6, 2010 12:44 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions
I've got good news for you.
Babs is back; Craig Terrill is gone!
Thank you, Walter Jones.
Thank you, Ken Griffey Jr.
Peter King Called us Restless Natives
in his mmqb column…
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/peter_king/09/05/mmqb/index.html
Another tidbit I picked up from King
Matt Hasselbeck loves to go to his right. The Seahawks threw more than half their passes to the right side of the field for the fourth straight season, and had the highest rate in the league for the third time in those four years.
I was already musing about the opportunity cost of having a TE covering LT. Right-handed quarterbacks have a better view of the right side of the field, so a chip-and-go TE is a more valuable receiver if he’s covering the right tackle. Presumably, that’s why the standard pro-set diagram shows him on the right.
Ergo, hope: When Okung returns, if he plays well, that should translate to much bigger numbers for Carlson.
The key on Jones, as I understand it...
is that if he remains on the roster at the end of this day, the Hawks are on the hook for his entire $2.4 million salary for 2010.
So if something’s gonna happen with him, it will probably happen soon…
Maybe a contract renegotiation?
Just talking out my ass at this point.
I actually like JJ and I have no idea why.
Or, since they don't seem to mind spending money for nothing
They may just wait to cut him for another couple days.
Maybe Paul Allen is in some kind of tax trouble.
“Boys I need you to drop about 50mil of my wealth asap.”
Rams just got mark clayton from baltimore because of housh
If you love something, set it free. If it doesn't come back, find it and kill it.
How do these 2 moves make him officially insane.
As opposed to yesterday?
by Scruffy Lefty on Sep 6, 2010 1:30 PM PDT up reply actions
I meant as a total. I haven't even been home since Sunday, so except for the release of Housh,
this is the first time I’m finding out about any of these moves.
Maybe it is the addition of these moves.
To yesterday’s moves.
Or maybe Owens is privy to information we are not privy to. Like, maybe Schneider has officially gone insane. shrugs
Houston signed Matt Leinart
Schaub better be healthy for 16 full games.
Mo Johnston is what John Schneider could be in 4 years.
Been told by the Texans blog
B-Russ was let go.
It’s not too late to bring him back!
Mo Johnston is what John Schneider could be in 4 years.
I've asked this kind of question before.
But it’s getting to the point where you’ve got a bunch of guys who haven’t played as a whole unit together. Different guys rotating on the D-line and at the nickel, different guys all over the O-line, new faces at running back.
This feels to me like a conglomerate of individuals rather than a cohesive group. I think we have only twelve players remaining from 2008. Crazies:
Hasselbeck
Tats
Hill
Herring
MeBane
Jennings
Terrill
Mare
Carlson
Spencer
Branch
Obo
(I don’t count JJ)

Oops that took a wrong turn and ended up not making sense.
I was gonna write something different in the body but…. just scratch the subject line. Ugh. See what roster explosion does to fans!!

Julius Jones takes a pay cut and keeps his roster spot
According to Schefter.
Seahawks RB Julius Jones saved his job by taking a paycut. The plan, which multiple people confirmed, was to cut him. Paycut saved job.
Boooooo
I like having a well rounded veteran presence.
He’s smart and does everything well enough (block, catch, know ZBS).
I think he was the victim of a poor O-line and now age is catching up with him. He’ll be a good situational back and probably good for Force.
Don't we already have TWO of those?
I thought Forsett and Ganther would be prime candidates for that sort of thing.
Meh
Don’t mind if he’s here, don’t mind if he’s not.
I guess Ganther is FB.
Mo Johnston is what John Schneider could be in 4 years.
I agree Booo!
This is like my company, instead of having layoffs and cutting the dead weight, everyone took a pay cut. That is BS! Cut the dead weight.
My new nickname for Julius Jones... Proposition Jones.
Lets see how well Prop Jones runs this year.
Off-topic but there's no other place to put this and as Hawks fans I think this could be interesting:
Anyone else thrilled to see Atlanta stomp the Dixon-led Steelers this coming weekend? I know I am. I get a kick out of evaluating our upcoming opponents (and possible SB contenders) anyway. Not being in any fantasy leagues this year, I have to resort to other means as far as getting interested in non-Seattle games.
Though they sink through the Sea, they shall rise again...Death shall have no dominion...
I am baffled as to how Peter King thinks the Steelers will win the Super Bowl
But then again he picked the Bears last year.
I like Tomlin a lot but damn was that Super Bowl win timely because he’s got a lot of crap to deal with.
Mo Johnston is what John Schneider could be in 4 years.
Peter King has no idea what he's doing
he’s been in the business for so long that he’s forgotten how to actually watch film and just relies on his contacts to make his predictions.
Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority
Okay, so...
Am I correct that we have made a switch of merely 6 players so far (six in, six out?) Here’s my count (not counting practice squad):
Released S Jordan Babineaux, FB Owen Schmitt, DT Kevin Vickerson, S Kevin Ellison, C Steve Vallos and T Mansfield Wrotto.
Signed DE Raheem Brock, RB Michael Robinson, DB Nate Ness, T Stacy Andrews, G Evan Dietrich-Smith and DT Junior Siavii.
The number of roster moves seems to be disproportionate to the number of gnn’s, freak outs, celebrations and hair pulling. Did I miscount? I’m starting to think I was swept into some sort of LSD roller-coaster created by a toxin emitted by Nick Reed’s annoyance as he was cut. Long live Nick Reed.
Though that was before the roster countdown...
I think too much Fieldgulls these last few days for me. Must…get…away…from…computer…
Yes, a big deal. I agree with that.
Worthy of a freak out, regardless of why he quit/retired.
I was talking about roster moves. I forgot that a large number of comments were devoted to this particular personnel change as well. Thanks for the reminder that we now have two people in our organization named Golden.
I actually like Brock as sort of a DT pass rusher on passing down.
He’s not young, but if this team is competitive I think he’ll help.
Help us get rid of Craig Terrill that is.
