Thursday practice report: Tapp still looking for bite marks

Seahawks defensive end Darryl Tapp again was asked by reporters today about allegedly biting Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Tapp again denied biting Rodgers, and then proceeded to demonstrate how it’s pretty much impossible for him to have done it by putting on his helmet and demonstrating on a reporter’s arm that he couldn’t get his chompers through his facemask to any part of the reporter’s arm.

“He’s not my concern as far as if I bit him or not because it didn’t happen,” Tapp said. “I know me personally, if someone were to bite me I wouldn’t wait a whole year to bring it up to somebody to get it handled. That’s all I’m saying about it.”

Of course, Tapp continued to talk about it, which you can listen to here.

MP3:

And Danny O’Neil of the Seattle Times has the visual evidence here.

As far as injuries go, Seahawks head coach Jim Mora said WR Nate Burleson (ankle) is very unlikely to play. LB Aaron Curry is doubtful but he went through treatment this morning and is feeling better.

RB Julius Jones (rib) practiced today and should be fine for Sunday. And Mora said they held WR Ben Obomanu (hamstring) today because his hamstring tightened up a little bit, so they might have to bring Mike Hass or Mike Jones up from the practice roster.

The Seahawks will have a short, walk through practice on Friday, similar to what the team does on a regular Saturday, so there will be no media availability.

    Maybe it’s just the crack mixing with the heroine, but something tells me the Hawks are going to win this game.

    Anyone want a piece of that action? I won’t even take points.

  2. What a dirt-bag! Daryl Tapp is to football what Mike Tyson was to boxing. C’mon Darryl…Bite the index finger off his throwing hand this week,and maybe we stand a chance.

  3. nighthawk2 says:

    Nobody on this squad is actually tough enough to bite someone from the other team. God knows we could use a few Conrad Dobler’s on this team.

  4. nighthawk2 says:

    Bobby, you couldn’t PAY ME to take that bet. Green Bay is going to destroy the Seahawks.

  5. If I were to mix vodka, with cheap beer, with LSD, and a shotgun to my head — I don’t know if I’d be bold enough to predict a Seahawks win. Still, anything is possible (like outplaying an opponent in a Super Bowl and losing). So, no, BobbyA, I don’t think I’ll take any of the action. The only action I hope for at this time is for all of you who follow this blog to have a Merry Christmas Eve. And Christmas Day.

  6. And Santa…please not another Colin Coal in our stocking!

  7. Dukeshire says:

    Conrad Dobler – Nice drop. Maybe a Deacon Jones type. Forearm shiver to the helmet.

    Bobby – I had a similar thought. They are so bad this is the kind of game they could win. (But they won’t, this will be ugly…)

  8. Southendzone says:

    I’ll try anything to get a win. We should assemble the All Pro Biting team for the Hawks.

    Here are 4 projected starters:

    DE: Daryl Tapp
    DT: Mike Tyson
    DT: Jeffrey Dahmer
    CB : Marv Albert

    After that I’m stumped. We need 7 more to get our defense on the field!

  9. Soggybuc says:

    I’d put Lorena bobbit at safety, no one and i mean no one would be running fly patterns with her back there.

    and a very Merry Christmas to all.

  10. Jeffrey Dahmer? Don’t even joke about something like that.

    Besides, even if the reference wasn’t in bad taste, the correlation with respect to football nastiness is hardly appropriate. Jeffrey Dahmer was a sniveling little pervert who whacked effeminate boys over the head after slipping them a mickey so they couldn’t defend themselves.

  11. Maybe Tapp should wear a hockey mash for the GB game.

    BobbyAyala,

    I’ll bet you twenty, and I’ll give you 2 to 1 odds..

    Handshake?

    I’ll email my info to Ryan or Eric.. You have paypal?

  13. snydro22 says:

    Earther sure knows a lot about serial killers..

  14. BobbyAyala says:

    10 o’clock. On the road. Offensive coordinator Gregory Knapp. Man-boy-coach. Deion Branch. Robs Simms. Sean Locklear. Packers playing for something. Aaron Rodgers teeth marks. Cleveland Mike. Another impending Denver win.

    I’ll tell you, with so many aspects playing against us this weekend, I just have a feeling we’re going to get that ‘W’.

    Call it a hunch, like the kind a Wazzu grad gets about future employment after leaving an interview at BurgerMaster, I just think we’ve got this one in the bag.

    Screw it, let it ride, baby.

    That’s a digital handshake, snydro.

    You’re on.

  15. snydro22:Earther sure knows a lot about serial killers.

    He does?

  16. snydro22 says:

    Digital handshake baby!

    Now I have a reason to watch.. I almost feel bad not giving you any points.. If you’ll give me this kind of action every week, I’ll start a letter-writing campaign to save Knapp’s job right now..

    Earther,

    I like my human flesh pan-fried with a hint of garlic.. I smother everything in ketchup and fingers are no exception.. Me and Jeff Dahmer go way back.. We used to pool our allowances on rufies and chloroform.. I was surprised he couldn’t handle the broomstick after the things I saw..

  17. Well, BobbyA – if the Seahawks win this one, they will have done something the 2003-2007 team never did – win a game on the road against a team that finished with a winning record and made the playoffs.

    The 2003-2007 Seahawks beat one team that finished with a winning record that didn’t make the playoffs (2006, Denver) and one team that made the playoffs but didn’t finish with a winning record (2004, Minnesota).

    So basically you are betting this team with 0 Pro Bowlers we regard among the worst in franchise history will succeed where a team with 3 Future Hall of Famers could not.

  18. Dukeshire says:

    “We used to pool our allowances on rufies and chloroform” lol. So is this $20 still at 2 to 1? Like I said before, I feel BobbyA on this one but no chance I play this game straight up. Line opened at 13, it’s at 14.5 now. With so much money on the Pack, might be a good spot to be a contrarian.

  19. snydro22 says:

    Yeah, I’ll give him 2 to 1 since I’m not giving him any points..

    I’m glad nighthawk2 didn’t understand the bet and steal my action..

    Go Pack! (I’m a whore..)

  20. snydro22 says:

    Southendzone,

    Don’t forget “Charlie.”

  21. snydro22:I like my………………..

    Charming.

  22. Does anyone have comcast? Did you see their rankings there this week

    Ruskoff Rules or whatever they call it. The Seahawks were so bad last week they didn’t even include them!! They have pictures of the teams 1-31 not 32!! In the full article they are there all the way down at the bottom!!!!

  23. Dukeshire says:

    Mmmm, served on a bed of cabbage with iced Stolichnaya on the side…

  24. Southendzone says:

    Fine, you can say that my comments were in bad taste (and for the hyper-PC easily offended crowd you are probably right), it was clearly a joke. Don’t try to argue however that members of my group don’t have traits that would suggest ‘football nastiness’ because that wasn’t the goal. I was looking for historical figures known for biting. If the topic of this thread on the TNT blog didn’t make it clear I think my collection of individuals should have.

    Also since then i’d like to add both Hannibal Lechter and Jaws from the 007 movies. Hope no ones feathers get ruffled this time around.
