Lambs




Danny's .02:

1. Depth
Miller, Unger, and Wagner are big losses. Also our secondary depth has been tested lately. Tharold Simon should be back and that will help a bit, but the nagging stuff has impacted Kam's play and other's as well. Here's hoping the next man up is ready.

2. Pass Rush
I am sick of seeing QB's get the time to make all their reads. We are not getting enough pass rush. It's clear that losing Clem and McDonald and Bryant has affected our attack. We need Avril and Irvin to beast (and also we need Irvin to stop with the boneheaded penalties)

3. Protection
In a hot and cold two years for our line we really need two big things: 1) stop erasing big plays with holds. 2) step up against the rams talented D-line.


Predictions-
Seattle 24 Lambs 3

also didn't point out the obvious- Beast Mode up. We need to ground pound. Super tired of watching us misuse our RB's (all three)

This just in- Harvin traded.

Looks like a move to keep our FAs salary cap wise, though I hope it also means our rookie WR is ready to show off his blazing speed.

Seriously, what the ****? Stunning. Here's hoping we get back to basics and Norwood/Richardson can be difference makers, but wow...we traded Percy. I haven't been this shocked since we traded for Percy.

Percy was a maniac and cancer evidently. He supposedly gave Tate a black eye SuperBowl week last year (can see it in photos) and he and Russ got into recently.

Also in more injury news DE Marsh breaks his foot and Scruggs is back. banged up for sure.

The most recent article from the Seattle Times is fairly damning:

Sources also said a few incidents in recent months helped set the stage for Friday’s stunning trade.

One source confirmed a report that Harvin had gotten into an altercation with former Seahawk Golden Tate prior to the Super Bowl that resulted in Tate getting a black eye.

A source also said Harvin had an altercation with Seattle receiver Doug Baldwin in the week leading up to the final preseason game this August at Oakland that resulted in Baldwin getting a cut on his chin and each player being excused from practices that week. Harvin, who did not practice for two days prior to that game, did not make the trip to Oakland for what the team said at the time was “a personal matter.”

One final straw, a league source said, came in Sunday’s 30-23 loss to Dallas when Harvin apparently balked at going back into the game in the fourth quarter. Harvin played 26 of 48 official snaps but did not play 11 of the final 17.

If true, that's just unacceptable.

Not a good start in the first quarter and a half
