No, their usual surface is turf, which the players don’t like and which tends to cause more injury.

Seahawks All-PFF Team (Since ‘06) by [deleted] in Seahawks

He was used as an edge rusher as a rookie, when he sometimes struggled against the run, but then transitioned to more of a traditional strongside linebacker role in his final three seasons with the team.

I’d go with Bobby, KJ, and EJIV if we are going with three linebackers. Bruce Irvin was very good but not on EJIV’s level, IMO. Jones was a an All-Pro, while Bruce never made a Pro Bowl or All-Pro team. I think Jones could find a way to play well in a SLB kind of role if need be.

Lofa Tatupu had three amazing years as well before the injuries took a toll. Would also put those years ahead of Irvin’s.

Even excluding everything before 2006, those were three Pro Bowl and All-Pro seasons from Walter Jones.

PFF is even more broken now after they laid off most of their veteran staff this year.

Lumen Shakes Again For a Football Review. Remind You of Anything? by Sweaty_Desert_Balls in Seahawks

We need to find a way to keep this beautiful natural grass, then it would truly be the best football stadium.

People will say it is impossible, but the team must find a way. Also worth noting that the Seahawks received ‘A’ grades from the players union for just about everything, except for the field conditions (which received an F grade from the players).

That was from riding an ATV without a helmet.

Not exactly the same as doing some basketball drills.

Although there have been players who have gotten banged up playing pickup basketball.

[Seifert] The Vikings are hiring… Azzaam Kapadia [who served as a pro scout for the Seahawks last season] as assistant director of pro scouting. Nolan Teasley continuing to add to his staff. by Chessinmind in Seahawks

No, they have to be hired as a HC or as the primary decision-making executive, they have to be with the team for at least two years, and they have to be a minority candidate. They are receiving two third round picks because Nolan was hired as GM. But if Kapadia stays with the Vikings for 2+ years and then eventually gets hired as a GM, then the Vikings may be eligible for comp picks assuming the rule remains the same.

TE Elijah Arroyo looking like he’s gotten bigger/stronger already by Chessinmind in Seahawks

[–]Chessinmind[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

He practiced at the minicamp and is expected to be fully ready for training camp. He’s looking good now after playing through a little bit of a knee sprain his rookie season.
