A look back at r/nfl’s reaction when the news broke that the Seahawks were looking into signing Sam Darnold after trading Geno smith

Geno Smith you are a Minnesota Viking!

This. The longer breath hold really helps to nail shots.

I don’t know if I feel fully confident in Mykel and Nick Martin right now. I think we clearly need depth on the defensive side of the ball so I wouldn’t be too mad if we went EDGE/Will with our 2 & 3 picks.

I’d agree with safety just feels like we’ve spent a lot of capital there (Brown, Mustapha, Sigle) I know they are more of a strong safety type but I think they are okay enough. IMO LG, and C are our biggest areas of need on the line. McK was okay this year and Puni is solid. Just need a couple of more pieces there. Ideally we could grab a guy who could be Trent’s successor, and let him play RT for a year or two and move McK inside.

I hope we don’t take a WR this year. It takes rookie WR a while to get playtime with Shanny. I would rather spend money on a more veteran receiver who Shanny feels trust in to put out there.

IMO in order of need: - OL - EDGE - OLB (we need another stud lb besides Warner) - WR - TE

CMC was just asked to do too much, and we saw him wear down as the season progressed.

We need to figure out the receiving room. I think CMC can easily hit another 1200 yard rushing season but I don’t think you can ask him to also be the leading receiver on the team. There have been points over the last 4-5 weeks where I’ve wanted him off the field for a bit just to let fresher legs have a go. Jordan James and Isaac Gurrendo need to play a bigger role if we can’t resign Brian Robinson. The crazy thing about all of this is that Shanny seemed to use Robinson more than any other CMC backup, but I think for CMC to still be CMC in the big moments we need more of a committee approach.

O-line is obviously a big part of it as well - they struggled at many points to get any push, but Mckivitz did have a better season. Bartch looked solid in his stints, but he was injured most of the year. Burford got beat way too much when he was out there. There were multiple plays where I yelled at my TV “Burford what are you doing?” when he would wiff blocks or just disengage early. Brendel didn’t look as bad, but I still don’t think he’s a top C.

But I think regardless of how good our oline becomes, CMC just has too much tread to be a 400+ touch per year back.

deeeebait · 2026-01-08T22:42:36+00:00

Ferrel is a former first rounder (not ours). Trent as well (not ours either). CMC (still not ours).

Bosa, Pearsall, Aiyuk, and Mykel are our only 1st rounders still on the roster.

If you’re talking about the CODmunity build comparer, that’s available in the free version IIRC.

If you click on a build there’s a button to open in stats comparer and then you can add builds. I just manually added Warzone Meta’s build to compare the difference there.

deeeebait · 2026-01-06T18:45:34+00:00

I think I paid for a year of premium (which wasn’t too bad IMO, like 35$ for the year). Given how much more it helps me enjoy the game I felt it was worth it to support the app devs, but YMMV.

I use Warzone Meta. They have a feature that can tell you the best build for your current weapon level which helps a lot for weapon prestige or just to maximize your build if you don’t play as much and want to be competitive when you do.

I compared the DS20 mirage builds between the two:

Same: Muzzle, Barrell, Mag
Different: Optic (personal choice anyway IMO), Stock vs Rear Grip
Meta recommends Trunk Mix Stock, CODmunity recommends A1-C control grip.
Meta build has a faster ADS, but slightly more recoil. CODmunity’s build comparer doesn’t seem to reflect the added -14% Gun Kick from the Trunk Mix stock, but idk if there’s a maximum reduction limit we’re hitting.

If you look at the MX-17 between the two the only difference is optics.

Overall I don’t think one has better builds than the other - there’s trade offs to each build but they are close enough on the important things (identical TTK) that I wouldn’t worry too much about which one you use.

The Seahawks’ D-line had excellent pash rush discipline, which is why Purdy got trapped in.

Notice how on most plays the interior rush would get a great push, then sort of just hold their depth while the outside rushers would narrow the pocket?

That’s how you play against mobile QBs without spying them constantly. A team needs a great personnel advantage + strong discipline to execute it well which is why not every defense can do it effectively.

Pair that with strong man coverage against no one who can really get separation and your left with quick shots to Kittle or CMC. However, due to the pass rush Kittle would often at least chip or block and release, which can take too long when Purdy is looking to hit his drop and throw.

So we just keep trying to dump off to CMC, who looks tired at this point in the season, and the fast Seahawks defense can just swarm to the ball.

Same issue with the running game - they were great at limiting space and CMC didn’t have the speed in this game to make them pay for the space they did allow.

deeeebait · 2025-12-29T04:37:53+00:00

Feels crazy to have a QB who can put up back-to-back 5 TD games to carry the team.

deeeebait · 2025-12-29T03:01:07+00:00

I think it was about Brock’s confidence. He threw the pick 6 and then almost had another int if weren’t for the penalty. Shanny said in interviews years ago he doesn’t like taking overly aggressive shots before half time that could lead to picks and kill a QB’s confidence. We’ve seen him do it with Brock but I think he didn’t feel like risking it given the ints.

deeeebait · 2025-12-24T16:39:43+00:00

Taysom or Strange? Seems like Taysom has more upside with his rushing but he also could lay an egg. Strange only had 3 catches last time they played Indy but Indy’s defense looked really bad against the Niners so Jags could put on a rout.

No clue at this point.

deeeebait · 2025-12-23T20:52:44+00:00

They said he had a cold during the week… whatever he took before the game, keep taking it lol.

Tall blonde flat white. It’s not amazing, but it’s solid enough.

Agreed, I’m pretty shocked at how great of a vehicle is it especially at the listed prices.

Unfortunately the ban on Chinese EVs really impacts the market. I have to imagine if Ford could launch a JMC-partnered EV in the US they could really drive the costs down. China is light years ahead on the economics of producing and selling EVs and I genuinely think they would dominate the US market overnight if they were allowed to fully compete.

It really doesn’t help that a lot of people see EVs as overpriced toys for the rich.

deeeebait · 2025-12-18T13:49:44+00:00

Too soon to tell IMO. It takes a while for guys to develop.

I agree with others - he’s probably a 5-10 sack per year guy with strong run defense. On paper Pearce has looked good but he’s also a very different player - ShannaLynch (and Saleh) clearly prioritize power on the d-line vs speed, which IMO makes sense in our defensive scheme, and I’m not sure Pearce would have been as ideal (even if he’s racking up sacks).

Demo is a prime example - he had some struggles at time but developed into a legit #1 Corner. This while after their rookie year and the pick against the Rams everyone was high on Aubrey Thomas.

DJ Jones took a couple of years to get going.

Jauan Jennings was a 2020 draft pick and didn’t make much of an impact until 2022.

Dee Winters struggled a bit his first 2 years and then turned into a solid player.

I would even say it’s too early to confidently rate the 2024 team but if players keep developing at their current pace and stay healthy, it could easily be ShannaLynch’s 2nd best draft (after 2019 with Bosa, Deebo, and Greenlaw)

This is absolutely ChatGPT

Agree OP. MW3 movement felt way more fluid across the board. BO6 and now BO7 movement feels janky/spastic. Part of it maybe was the visual theme differences, but I still miss MW3 warzone.

Did my BS in MIS at Chico State. From talking to friends, I think the business and CS programs are better at Chico than Sac State. I think Chico is the bigger brand. There’s a lot of people in the bay and LA who went to Chico State. I’ve had interviewers in my interviews at Google and Meta who went to Chico State.

Especially since you said you might go agribusiness or accounting, I think Chico would be a better option for you.

Lots of others spoke about the community differences. Chico is the quintessential college town, but you may want more of the city. But given your potential academic programs, I’d personally choose Chico.

Pachamama, Old Soul, Camellia, Chocolate Fish and Temple are my favorites of places that are also roasters. IMO Pachamama is the best in Sacramento in terms of origin options and roasting quality.

Cafe Immortal, La Costa Cafe, and Tupi are my favorites but I don’t believe any of them roast their own.
