Is that really Julio Jones? He looks so slight and unassuming if it is. I am amazed that body could outmuscle Brandon Browner for a jump ball

Hawkfan..i was thinking the same thing. At first sight, i thought that was just a random fan wearing a his jersey. He looks skinny and slender, kinda like Obo.
I’m just not ready to think about the draft yet. I’m not a big college player scouter so maybe that is why i’m never too excited about this time of year…but i keep thinking about those 31 seconds in Atlanta, and thinking i’m going to wake up and the Hawks are going to play the 9ers for the NFCC.
Oh well, next year will be great and i have faith in this FO to take care of offseason business.

So, it would appear that Mock Draft season is upon us. Good thing PC and JS tend to order off the menu at draft time. Nobody has Seattle taking a D lineman in the first round.
Yes a big fast WR would be nice but more pass rush is vital to this team moving forward.
Who knows. PC and JS could blow us all away and select a kicker at #25. Nothing would shock me anymore.

Anyone seen the latest tweets from that moron Titus Young? I guess that turd doesn’t want to play in the NFL anymore.
× Flag comment
Sure he does! He will even play for 1 dollar. But the team that gets him MUST throw the ball to Titus on every offensive play or else.
Oh, and remember, when Titus was accused of intentionally lining up out of position in an attempt to sabotage the team his response was that he wasn’t trying to sabotage the team, he was just lining up where he knew the ball was going even if it wasn’t supposed to be going to him.
See? He’s not a bad guy. He even wants to make up his own plays so that he’s always where the ball will be! If he came to Seattle he could line up in the backfield and wrestle the ball away from Lynch on every run play. What’s the problem? (heavy sarcasm for anyone who didn’t pick that up).

Doesn’t Julio Jones have dreads ?

That is definetely not Julio Jones
× Flag comment
Actually, after looking at some pics of Julio on google images, i think that is him. There are some pics of him with short hair and you can tell it is him. He has pointy ears and the pics i have been looking at, resemble the pic of him on this page. This picture makes him look more skinny than he looks on the field

That’s deffinetly Julio Jones. It is weird that he looks so skinny in that picture though.

Well, Jones 6’3″ and 220 lbs according to nfl.com. That’s big enough

Wow, where have I been, I didn’t’ even know Robert Woods was declaring for the draft. Although I’d like DL in round 1, I wouldn’t complain about Woods on the team.
Looks like Mr. Jones did cut his hair recently: http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/60/files/2013/01/tim-jennings-int-pro-bowl-practice.jpg

That is definitely Julio Jones. He cut his dreads. Before this last season began I believe.
It’s the same thing as the Trufant photo the other day. He is behind all the other people in the photo. And The Beast is yoked out.

Thats not Julio Jones, its Ronaiah Tuiasosopo!

just saw an article on hawks interest in Revis…. wow that would be a hell of a D backfield.

The CBS guy on the same page as Rang has Seattle drafting a DT – a guy Rang has going in the 10th pick I think.
Who knows. PC and JS could blow us all away and select a kicker at #25. Nothing would shock me anymore.
truer words have never been spoken!!

hawkfaninoklahoma – I’d love for Seattle to get Revis and have him as their nickle corner. Browner, Sherman, and Revis on the slot…? Yes please.
× Flag comment
There won’t be a worthwhile DT left by our pick. But there might be a WR…

I believe the only reason they are saying Seattle is a possible landing place for Revis is because Idzik is thier Gm. Its crap. The guy wants to be the highest paid player in the NFL, period. He’s made that plain. There is no way with Seattle having Browner and Sherman and Lane and Thurmond and the rest that they are willing to trade anything to the Jets in order to get Revis for a one-year deal. UNLESS he’s willing to take 6 mill from us and the Jets only want a fifth or lower.
He’s still rehabbing a terrible injury that no one knows how much it will affect his speed, agility, and overall play. He’s a GIANT risk. And what the hell would we do with him?! Bump Sherman or Browner to the slot?! They arent cut out for that. And you know Revis aint about to get bumped to the slot for anyone or any reason. He’d rather retire.
Im calling this one a total BS rumor. Its all BS.
We’re going after at least one DT and one DE in FA that arent gonna be cheap. There is no room for an Ultra-High Risk at a luxury position like REvis.
ANd that pic?! Doesnt look like Marshawn OR JOnes. At all.

Duke, that would be one bad ass secondary if we had Revis as our nickelback. We’d have to upgrade their nickname to the Legion of Doom.

I would be shocked if Revis ends up here. The idea of starting Revis at CB, moving BB to SS, and Kam to WLB is very intriguing to me. That does involve 2 guys playing positions they never have before though. It seems like BB and Kam have the tools to make that switch. It’s not going to happen, so I guess I shouldn’t bother thinking about it.

I dont mind moving Kam to WLB, but Browner is fine where he is. Before that suspension, he was our best corner. The guys a beast on the outside. And Revis wants all the money in the world.
Seattle has no need for someone that damaged and that expensive. If they were gonna break the bank on a veteran, it would be a DT or a DE.
