I'm not closing the book on him, I have just seen nothing to indicate he can lead that team. This year should tell the story.
Fair enough.

How much can you bank on the new coaching staff to actually do that? KNJ got ran out of town in Oakland because they had one of the worst defenses in football. Why does he come to Seattle and all of a sudden become a good DC?
Sometimes, just like players, coaches need a change of scenery to do their job better than they did at their previous stop.
Right that does happen sometimes. I just think you are leaping to a lot of conclusions based much more on your hope than on anything that is proven about this Seahawks team.
My point wasnt to say that I think Shaq Griffin is going to be as good as Richard Sherman or that Tedric Thompson is the next Earl Thomas. My point is that right now, much like in 2011/12, we have lots of young, unknown players who may be able to help get this team right back to where it was a few years ago when paired with a top 5 QB and a much-improved running game. They don't have to be HOF level players for that. Too many people are just writing off Seattle because name players are gone.The odds of them coming close to that group of players you listed is slim to none. You are talking about 3 All-Pro players and some Pro Bowl players all in one draft. That kind of draft happens once every 5-10 years for a team if that. And you are not just talking about them hitting but hitting as the top players at their respective positions kind of hit.
yes because my Red Sox are doing well, Celts are kicking ass minus their two stars being out and NE posed for another playoff run. Save the hugs you may be needing them soon enough.Heh.
Big group SportsHoopla hug for NWP everybody. He needs some attention.
Much-improved running game? Just like Rawls, Prosise, Carson, McKisic... let's just say we've been hearing how Seattle has found their answer to the loss of Lynch for a few years now.My point wasnt to say that I think Shaq Griffin is going to be as good as Richard Sherman or that Tedric Thompson is the next Earl Thomas.

I'm on record I wanted NE to draft Prosise. Can Penny be the answer? He could but the odds don't lend me to believe it. They at least have a blocking TE not that could help?
Luke was a decent blocker he just appeared very good because Graham couldn't block me.We had Luke Willson for awhile until he left in free agency.
Well, I didnt say anything about Lynch. The truth is the running game was fantastic in 2015 with Rawls. Go check the numbers if your memory sucks or is selective. It's been bad the 2 seasons since, readily admitted. I don't think I've claimed before either season that something was fixed, though it's not like we thought there was something to fix going into 2016.Much-improved running game?

Pete has proven he can build a team in both the pros and the NCAA when given control. He has his vision and his main focus is improving the run game this year.Right that does happen sometimes.

With the Seahawks coaching staff and their QB we can never count them out.Pete has proven he can build a team in both the pros and the NCAA when given control. He has his vision and his main focus is improving the run game this year.
I like where the team is headed, not necessarily where it is. The team is in a better position going into `19 than it is this year.
If we can run, we will win more than we lose.

But yeah, there have been some pretty drastic changes since last year. I wouldnt expect you to think they'll work, but hand waiving them all off doesnt mean the team is doomed.

Has never been to Boston.

For a guy living large, you sure don't act like it.
I'll pass along your well-wishes to my fellow igloo dwellers though.
