I doubt it. I think we have two potentially good corners in McCray and Colvin.

Agree. I woud think Gratz, McCray, Colvin is your top three CB next year. Maybe Ball is back.
Percy Harvin completely changes that offense.
Quote:yeah, hell of a trainer... 
Its called HGH / 'roids.
Thats why so many players on that team get popped for suspensions.
They all cheaters.
Yet you have no problem signing Red Bryant and Chris Clemmons?
I think you might see the "elite" passer that Russell Wilson is supposed to be next week against San Diego.
Quote:That's even funnier.
Glad you find that humorous. Where was your prediction, oh wise one?
Quote:I think you might see the "elite" passer that Russell Wilson is supposed to be next week against San Diego.
Put him on an offense like the Jets, see how "elite" he is.
Seattle Seahawks:
1. Elite, tough, physical Defense
2. Strong running game, one of the top RB
3. Read-Option based Offense,, with the addition of a true OW that can be WR, RB, and a dangerous Return man
At the top of the NFL.
Personally, I never was a big fan of theirs. But, it's awesome to see their "Smash Mouth" brand of football is still a formula to great success.
Good stuff

On my facebook page. 41-13. I was off a little.

Gotcha. I put 36-16 on my facebook page.

John Idzik, the Jets General Manager and former Seahawks contract and salary cap guru would kill for Russell Wilson.
And don't forget that Jermaine Kearse and Doug Baldwin were undrafted free agents.

Well, how's this one.

<div style="font-size:14px;">Okay, now it is time for me to make my Super Bowl pick. I will try to make this as brief as possible. Please share if you like it.
There is only one thing you need to understand about this football game: it is a battle of philosophy. On<span>e team would make Pantera quite proud with their relentless, vulgar display of power. The other is a fantasy football team. Although the NFL is always trending to a more aerial game of finesse, football is still a game of brute force that is won in the trenches. I can show you all the metrics and advanced analysis that points to a narrow Seattle victory and how these teams are trending, but this is the Super Bowl. This is where it is all laid on the line. This is where the rubber meets the road and the blood of roadkill is splattered all over the asphalt. That is why small weaknesses become greatly magnified.
As much as ESPN would like the narrative to be all about Peyton Manning's potentially lost legacy (despite his FIVE league Most Valuable Player awards), that has very little to do with what happens on the field. John Elway knows this. His team was 131/2 point underdogs at kickoff against Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl XXXII. Despite the two week long Brett Favre love fest, Terrell Davis rushed for 157 yards and 3 TD's to become Super Bowl MVP. Broncos 31 Packers 24. Which begs the question: Who in their right mind would bet against John Elway with a 2000 yard rusher in the backfield?
This Super Bowl also has a lot of similarities to that one but more with Super Bowl XXV. Jim Kelly had the most impressive offense anyone had ever seen and his team was big favorites against those New York Giants. On paper, the Giants didn't have a prayer, but power running and a great defense kept the Bills off the field. That Bills team got to the Super Bowl by spreading the field out with tons of talented receivers, finding a mismatch and exploiting it over and over again. But what happens when you line up and there is no mismatch? In sequential years, we found out that the Bills were a soft team, and all the vaunted “Super Bowl Experience” didn't matter for [BLEEP] when they played the Dallas Cowboys in back to back years, losing by a combined score of 82-30. The middle linebacker on those Cowboys teams was Ken Norton Jr..
Let me tell you a little about Ken Norton Jr. Ken Norton Jr. is the son of Ken Norton Sr. the man who broke the jaw of Muhammad Ali in the photo above, knocking him out to become World Champion. You may have heard Richard Sherman recite the mantra about being built for a heavyweight fight. Guess where he gets this. Norton was a three time pro bowl selection, and twice an all-pro selection. He has three Super Bowl rings with the Dallas Doomsday defense. The NFL is now littered with linebackers he coached along with Pete Carroll at USC. Lofa Tatupu was one of those linebackers. So was Clay Mathews. As L.L. Cool J would say, Mama said knock you out.
This is going to be one of those Super Bowls where people say, “How did I not see this coming?” This defense is historically good for Seattle, drawing comparisons to the 1985 Bears, 2000 Ravens, and 1976 Stealers. They are that good. This is the best secondary Carroll has ever coached, and he has coached Troy Polamalu and Ronnie Lott. When this game is over, Eric Decker is going to be remembered the same way that Don Beebe is. If you believe ESPN this past week, Knowshon Moreno is a better power runner than Adrian Petersen, but does anyone seriously think that the Broncos can bully this team? If the San Franciso 49er's couldn't do it, it can't be done. This is what is essential.
This Denver Broncos team is the best team in the AFC. But that is like winning a Gold Medal in the Special Olympics: You're still [BLEEP] [BLEEP].
The Broncos defense is not even average and they enter the game missing 10 of their 41 sacks to injured reserve. Terrence Knighton isn't half as good as the guy that Max Unger goes against every day in practice, Brandon Mebane. Without Von Miller, they have no one to spy Russell Wilson, and now we have a deep threat in Percy Harvin. God help them. Ever since the end of November, the Seahawks
have been facing the elite defenses of the NFL, including the #4 Saints and the #2 49ers TWICE APIECE.
Now consider this. The Seahawks had the best special teams in the league by almost every metric BEFORE adding Percy Harvin. The Broncos special teams are only pedestrian, and their kicking game is greatly aided by home games in mile high air.
I would liken this Super Bowl to when my Tacoma home boy Sugar Ray Seales went into the ring against Marvin Haggler. Seales was fresh off of his Gold Medal winning performance in the 1972 Olympics. But Marvin Haggler didn't care about that. Sugar Ray Seales is now legally blind. Marvin Haggler detached both of his retinas.
He never saw it coming.
Broncos 17 Seahawks 34</span>

Lol, i'm sure they would! He's a good QB, not debating that, but he wouldn't look nearly as good if he were in a different situation.
Quote:In 2010 the Jags took D' Anthony Smith in the 3rd round, and Jimmy Graham was still on the board.
True, but Jimmy Graham would not be nearly the player he is with the Saints and Brees throwing him the ball if he had the Jags QB's throwing him the ball.
I wonder sometimes if players don't realize how lucky they are to be drafted into a good situation, then they would have been to be drafted by a much worse team who passed on them when it was their pick, earlier in the draft.
I picked Seattle to win the Super Bowl and nothing last night changed that. They are as good as it gets from top to bottom, you won't find any better right now. Percy Harvin is special when he's on the field and they won without him last year. Add him to that offense and boy, you will have a hard time stopping that.
Rodgers and McCarthy got ripped by First Take
Quote:Rodgers and McCarthy got ripped by First Take
They always rip the losing team in a game like that, when the losing team is considered really good and has an elite type QB.
Nothing new at all with them.
Quote:To be fair Bryan Bulaga was having a pretty good game until he went down with a injury. Then Sherrod entered the game...
Bulaga makes Derek Cox look like Cal Ripken
Quote:Aren't there rumors that the Jags will go after Maxwell in free agency next year? He pretty much held his own for the most part and was being thrown at basically the entire night. Would be another good poach from SEA next year IMO
Bradley will probably be interested, but I think a desperate team like Dallas will overpay him in free agency.
Quote:Agree. I woud think Gratz, McCray, Colvin is your top three CB next year. Maybe Ball is back.
I don't know how good your corners are, but you can never have enough good CBs.
Quote:I don't know how good your corners are, but you can never have enough good CBs.
Definitely but I'm not sure thats where they look in free agency.
