More people need to give the guy his due. Once injured, he was never the same. But in his prime, play the guy as your number one RB.

2012… Marshawn (Beast Mode)…Mr Skittle. Two very different run games..

2005 – Veteran team, solid throughout (except DB…)

2012 – Huge, wicked fast, athletic, young.

As BobbyK said, two entirely differnt teams.

The 2005 team was like eating comfort food every Sunday. No worry, just sit back and enjoy.

This team is going to require the FO to install portable defibrillator machines in every section of the stadium. Nothing will be easy, but it’s going to be a wild ride to the finish.

That team had a QB etched in stone. We have hope that we have our QB of the future but neither of them have yet gone through the growing pains that someone like Hasselbeck had experienced by the start of ’05.

That team had one of the greatest left sides to an OL the league has ever seen and then two old warriors at C and RG that really gave the unit the all important factor of continuity. We really have no continuity coming back on our OL with respect to each projected starter having a lot of starts right next to the person they will be lined up with next year. That team rode it’s offensive line, good QB play, and great run game to the Super Bowl. That meant its defense didn’t need to be as good as our defense of this year. This years defense will be better than ’05, but it has to be, too, because of the inexperience at QB and the line not being as settled.

Really, these are two totally different teams. Both will have had a great RB running the ball, starting rookie MLBs, but there aren’t too many similarities, IMO.

Me too. A 4-yr starter who leads the team in tackles 3 yrs running, and runs in the 4.4s at 240 lbs? Will be fun to see him in the middle of things.

Yes, I know I’m jumping the gun. The chances of both being great are slim. Chances are, if Flynn is great, Wilson won’t get much a chance to show how good he is and he’ll sit on the bench for a couple of years. One thing’s for certain (in my mind at least): TJack won’t be starting this year.

Oh wait, most rookies that attend this camp historically have not signed yet and are insured against injury.

It’s only since the new CBA that we are seeing so many early signings.

I assume Turbin will be in attendance this weekend.

He is only barred from attending training camp unless he’s signed. If we are still having this conversation in July then there’s a problem
