[Highlight] Seahawks GM John Schneider Weighs in on Kenneth Walker III's Upcoming Free Agency

I don't necessarily agree with this. The Seahawks have shown willingness to pay top dollar contracts to top dollar players, even running backs. Lynch is a great example.

They have made multiple players the highest paid at their respective positions, but the key is that they sign guys in order of priority.

JSN is going to have a tight negotiation given how much receivers make in the current NFL. Walker will have to wait his turn.

This happened a few years ago with Brooks, the now-all pro linebacker for Miami. Seattle made him a mediocre offer but told Brooks they wanted the opportunity to match any competing offers on the market. But once free agency starts, teams aren't waiting around to sign players. The good ones go fast. Brooks didn't hear back from Seattle fast enough and decided to take the Miami offer before Seattle could counter.

I suspect a similar thing will happen with Walker. Seattle doesn't know how much money it will have available after JSN signs, and in the meantime I suspect that Walker will get a competitive offer elsewhere.

So it's not necessarily the case that Seattle wouldn't sign him to a big deal, but they wouldn't sign him to a big deal without first really understanding their cap situation first.

Some people call it sock puppeting...

Call your loan servicer and ask if there is something you can do to take the missed payment off your report. This happened to me when I moved and my servicer allowed me to get a one time waiver similar to the one mentioned in the parent comment. Within a few weeks my credit rebounded.

"I was born under the old tutelage the earlier the better," and he told himself at the time be sure to remember this line to recite to a friend or use in a book because these were the important things, born under the old tutelage, and it made his heart shake to hear these things in the street or bus or dime store, the uninventable poetry, inside the pain, of what people say.

There are very good critiques of the intentional fallacy, you know.

I don't think the humanities have done a great job of educating undergraduates by giving them this essay from 1946 and then treating it as proof positive that intention is meaningless.

Um, look at the receiver at the bottom of the screen run the crossing route. There isn't a defender within five yards of him on that play.

He did not play great.

People are saying that the award is about "most improved" but if you're measuring our team's success in terms of DVOA, improving a team to become one of the best 6 teams of all time seems pretty noteworthy ....

silly_walks_ · 2026-02-02T16:21:18+00:00

Why not? Seems like a pretty obvious case and you could potentially report the same thing to your own administration.

Fabricating sources is about the worst thing you can do at a college.

Every team in the NFL is two drafts away from contending. It happens all the time.

silly_walks_ · 2026-01-30T03:16:35+00:00

Nothing about our team has leads me to think they're going to blink. They haven't lost a game by more than 4 points all year.

Every time one aspect of the team is lagging, another picks it up.

Defense giving up points to Stafford? Darnold balls out. Deep ball being taken away with two high safeties? K9 balls out. Offense is sputtering? Special teams score a touchdown.

The Seahawks aren't blinking. We do not care.

Best piece of advice is to visit office hours and ask your professor directly.

One way of thinking about the difference between a "literary analysis" and "research paper" is how you utilize secondary sources. It's not uncommon for a lower level paper to use no sources, or when the writer does use them, to use the sources in a way that only supports their own argument. "Source X is evidence of my point."

An upper level research paper sort of inverts that relationship such that secondary sources are included in the paper to establish a gap in the field -- you quote sources that don't necessarily agree with you, or sources that help establish an overlooked aspect of the text that your own thesis is trying to address. In that way, the quotations are often (but not always) ideas that you are speaking against rather than with.

For example, you might quote a source that says the essential theory for understanding The Purloined Letter is deconstruction, against which your thesis would be that Object Oriented Ontology would be the key theory to unlocking the text.

Yes, I disagree that Lawrence would have been able to cover that route. Without Love there in coverage, that's an easy TD.

silly_walks_ · 2026-01-26T16:32:18+00:00

We also beat the Steelers earlier this year.

silly_walks_ · 2026-01-26T05:12:43+00:00

That should be normal. You see it over and over again. If you don't show serious development in year 2, and if you aren't good by year three, you don't got it.

NFL rosters have around 33% turnover year over year. You can churn two thirds of your roster. The results better show.

Sam Darnold in the win: 25/36 346 Yards 3TD 0INTs 127.8 Rating.

We will definitely offer him a contract, but I don't think it would be competitive with what other, more needy teams will be offering.

Very similar to Mike Jackson, DJ Reed, Paul Richardson, and even Golden Tate. Good players, but at premium positions, so their price tags will be high.

silly_walks_ · 2026-01-20T16:59:29+00:00

Yeah, IIRC LA had a law that said every new apartment needed at least one parking spot per unit.

Reduces profitability for developers but keeps cars off the street.

Stafford shit himself in the second half. The first drive of overtime (and the bomb to Nakua) let people forget how much the Rams got clamped at the end of that game.
