I found this post over on the PI. Living in Vegas I miss out on some of the pertinent info of importance. Anyway of listening too or a transcript of that Hugh Millen, Mike Holmgren broadcast. Thanks in advance. Posted by jeremiad at 11/20/09 5:33 p.m. in reply to: #1997374 Doesn't anybody on here listen to sports radio? Just today Holmgren was asked by Matt Millen about the Hutch situation. Here are the established facts. MH was out of town, before leaving he talked to Hutch and told him that NO MATTER WHAT he would be franchised. He talked to TR, and they agreed, NO MATTER WHAT, they would franchise Hutch. At the event two days after leaving, John Clayton asked MH about the transition tag they put on Hutch. MH denied it, said that is not what happened. He made a few calls, and TR told him that he transition tagged Hutch, but promised to match. The team then talked to the NFL after seeing the terms, and were told by the NFL to not match the deal, as it would destroy the pay structure of the league. MH didn't give a bleep, and told all who would listen to sign him. Holmgren was upside down angry by his careful choice of words then, and now. He was asked directly what he would have done if he was boss, and he said "I would have signed him up" "what was the difference to the league if we destroyed the pay scale or the Viqueens did"? Holmgren also was mad that Hutchinson didn't give him a call and say what the offer was BEFORE HE SIGNED, as MH said it was common for him to negotiate verbally without papers, and then put it on paper. He gave his word and kept it, and expected the same. http://www.seattlepi.com/forum/boards/viewtopic.asp?topicid=142000 Eric, it seems you manage to avoid the Hutch topic.

The Vikings are looking past the Seahawks, our Oline is finally going to gel today, Lock will own Jared Allen, Forsett and Rankin will light it up, Branch will make his appearance, Housh will have a good day, Burleson will have a long td, special teams will hold their own....our D is going to pick favre twice and recover a Peterson fumble...we win 28-17 and start a long winning streak that puts us into the playoffs. Fine...I've been drinking too much Jone's soda, and it's a longshot, but anything is possible. Go Hawks! Here’s my prediction…

And it seems like those plays are a good, thought out, gameplanned scheme. It's after that, that concers me. It seems like Knapp cannot adjust to the flow of the game and make good play calls as the game progresses. I hope he improves as we go along. Because like it or not, I believe they're all going to be here for another year or two at least ( Ruskell, Mora and Knapp). As far as Defense goes I will refer to Duke's "pipe dream" to the second power. I heard Mora talk about the first 15 plays being scripted, like Holmy would do.

Forsett is a good RB, but the reason he and Rankin had big games last week is mostly due to our *new* O line. That line will continue improving this week. The run game and protecting Matt is all on them. The second half of our season is in their hands. I expect our oft-maligned O line to have their best game of the season. Still, I don't think it will be nearly enough to compete with the Vikings D. And I think our D line unfortunately will look weak trying to get through the Vikes O line. Still, I'm hoping to see our guys knock Hutch on his backside one or twice just for old times sake. I think its definitely on our O line today.

"Just fine"? Not sure how to qualify that, but I too believe that there are several things Knapp can scheme to negate some of that pressure; run right at Allen, quick slants under the the LBs, don't be afraid to roll Hass away from the pressure in the shotgun. I don't expect it, but I wouldn't be totally surprised either. pabuwal – As I said, this is an opportunity for the ‘Hawks today. “Just fine”?

How will the Hawks keep Allen off Hasselbeck? An extra TE or will they rely on 5'8" Forsett as the last line of block defense. In any event, Locklear shuts down Jared Allen and we'll know which position will not be a priority next draft. GO Lock! It's a forgone conclusion one of the top 3 picks will be used on the D line. What I wouldn't give to draft a premier WR or RB but I'll wig if we go QB with/if Hass is healthy. Terrible that even I am looking/talking draft already. Either some of you have rubbed off on me or reality has set in. But dam, after we knock off Minny today and finish 10-6 the wild card still doesn't look good. :) I guess it’s safe to say that John Carlson won’t see much action today.

Hasslebeck gets sacked 5 times, Forsett rushes for less than 3 yard average, Favre torches the Hawks D for 300+, Peterson rushes for nearly 200 and the Hawks go down 31-10. Meanwhile Cleveland has already done what we should be doing: preparing for next year. Say bye-bye to Holmy and hello to 5 more years of the Timmmmayyy and Jimmmmayyy show...
