Well
According to roroworld we now have Balmer from the 9ers on our DL.
They are saying a late round pick is probably the exchange rate. Not a bad pick up for a 1st rounder.

with my last post not withstanding, i wouldn’t mind drafting high next year if it costs us this year. I would love to see Jake Locker here (assuming he continues to impress at UW)

BobbyAyala, about the starting D thing, Leroy Hill is no longer a starter on this team (unless it happens through injury) The Heater has taken that spot and I’m not even sure if Hill would come in before Herring at this point.

And as for BobbyK’s predictions, he doesn’t obviously know what will happen anymore than any of the “experts” do. we can take any of the playoff predictions from espn guys or nfl.com guys, pft guys(what does florio have against PC anyway? I dont get it) and they might get 50% of there projections right if they are lucky. that’s why they play the games right? The seahawks could easily be a 10-6 team. they could easily be 5-11. they could be 12-4. who knows? no one. but it’s not right to call out anyones predictions because it’s just a prediction, it doesn’t mean anything. For the record I too think this is a 10-6 team. maybe 9-7 but either way i think they will win the nfc west.

Okay I was at the game and have not been able to find a replay to watch

But I never remember constant pressure on Whitehurst. That said I highly fear that we are in serious trouble this year. Hence the reason Schneider is at UW practices watching.

I think we are going to struggle in many areas this year. I do NOT think that we will be very good at all with Whitehurst or Hassleback playing.

We will be drafting very high again next year.

Twice I saw Unger watch as 2 guys ran right past him one of them totally blasting forsett right as he got the ball. Unger was out 2 plays later. considence – I think not.

First impressions of the first team..not that would matter going forward, but for the information we have from the first 3 series (lol) I’d predict we get taken to the wood shed. We might have a 4 win season.

That said, these guys are professionals, and I would expect them to correct the mistakes that were made. I would love to be the little birdie in the corner when Gibb’s meets with his OL. I’d expect Gibbs will be happy to break film down and get it corrected. OL was a glaring disaster. Someone needs to pull Matt aside and whisper in his ear to step his game up, or we will see Charlie way before Matt is injured.

As the master (Mike Holmgren) would say about now. The defense should be a head of the Offense this early in the preseason. The O will get it together. I will predict a hard fought battle with the 9ers, but a hawk win. Thankyou 12th man! Hawks will lead the division for at least the first week.

IBGoofy–u might be right, i’m just wary of putting much stock in the 1st exhibition game. on coaching adjustments during the game, i think that is expected since most exhibition games do not have a game plan. but granted, they did m,ake some adjustments and i liked the reference to “the scheme” when PC complemented CW,.
bobbyayala–a few very key members of the tennessee D were also missing and those that remained handled our first unit very handily
Bobbyk–no not at all stupid, i just think we don’t know enough to make such predictions. i guess i would say that even if later on we went 10-6.

Yes. The Butler play was fun to watch.

nighthawk – I have been saying 10-6 (expect/hope) for a few months so you don’t need to put words into my mouth and say I’m predicting that based off of 1 pre-season game. I’m probably wrong, certainly in the minority, but an opinion is an opinion. It’s not like I’m telling anyone who doesn’t agree with me that they are stupid.

ruminator … He’s been beaten up a lot, but Dennis Erickson had great begining game plans… (the rest I’ll leave alone…)… but what happened quickly, was he would get beat ‘during’ the game on the coaching side, I don’t know if it was him, or his coaches….. But, it was predictable… He was beaten during the games….
Game time adjustment’s are so expected & huge….. For me, I was so very satisfied with the In-game adjustment’s yesterday…. (by the way, I liked the Holmgren era adjustment’s, though they were way more conservative than most of us wanted…) …
Our coaching is very likely to win more than the three you mention (an average?)… We saw in pre-season that lots of solid subtle changes were made during the game… not to mention (especially on the D Line) lots of things were tried…. That was good….

errrr, ummm, THAT was GOOD coaching….. ;-0

“From what you saw in theree craptastic possessions by the offense when Hasselbeck was out there and how gawd-awful the starting D”

Gotta stop you right there Night.

The starting D wasn’t on the field, both Lofa and Leroy were missing and the biggest play of TEnn’s open drive was a dump off for 35 in which the second level was completely out of position.

6-10 is not even an option with this coaching staff.

The Hawks will go 9-7.

That’s the stone cold lock of the season.
