Still have the 3rd youngest roster...team will be competing and that's all any fan could ask for.

I would be impressed by a NFC title game appearance

[spurraider21]

Dorial Green-Beckham seems like the obvious pick if he's there

[Spur-Addict]

Damn, you niggas didn't waste no time hatin' :lol

My man The Gemini Method, we start another season with the same goal. 10 or so picks in the draft, a bunch of players returning from IR, we'll be just fine. Handle a few contracts and on with the season. Props to all the players who played with major injuries when it mattered most, practically the entire secondary. They want us to go away, we're not going anywhere. Hate on.

[The Gemini Method]

:lol Posting all season and during the week of the Super Bowl, but going MIA for 3 weeks AFTER Seattle fails to repeat and starts posting 3.5 weeks later. I was originally going to stay away for a week. Then a family emergency happened for my gf and so it was a bit longer. It stung. I won't deny it and it took some time to regroup. We lost the Super Bowl. It hasn't been a good month for me.

Speaking of which, Dockett went on a visit there. He'd be nice to have much like Kevin Williams this past season. A short 1-2 year deal for a very proven player, who's playing a role.

Imagine him getting 2x a year to prove Az made a mistake? I mean, he is one of those that plays better when he is doubted. I could get behind him and he would definitely give Bennett and Avril some help. Do it P and J!!!

[The Gemini Method]

Spur-Addict Well, there goes the Dockett opportunity--well, until the 10th anything could happen.

Spur-Addict Zach Miller was released. :cry

[spurraider21]

Zach Miller cut. Would love to reunite with him tbh... we need a tight end just like him. Good blocker and big, reliable target. Nothing special in the passing game but solid as they come. Seahawks underused him.

[The Gemini Method]

How'd they misuse him? They needed a blocking TE and someone that could stretch the field--he did an admirable job but got hurt a few times.

[Spur-Addict]

Spur-Addict Zach Miller was released. :cry

Boy was I wrong :lol.

[The Gemini Method]

Boy was I wrong :lol. Freeing up cap space for Wagner and Wilson I suppose...hopefully it won't be for Julian Thomas. But if it is, so be it.

[Spur-Addict]

Freeing up cap space for Wagner and Wilson I suppose...hopefully it won't be for Julian Thomas. But if it is, so be it.

Yeah, and the TE position has pretty much been in flux the last few years. Nobody can stay healthy at the position. McCoy, Miller, even Willson couldn't stay on the field with any consistency, some not at all (McCoy). The rotation that was used was fairly effective so I can understand why, plus the large price tag as you stated. They cannot be content with the position though, so there likely will be some new blood. I can't see them bringing McCoy back after back-to-back Achilles tears, although they brought Scruggs back after two major injuries so who knows. But with Miller gone there certainly will be a void to fill, and hopefully not overspent on a guy like Cameron or Thomas. Especially Cameron and his concussion history.

Yeah, I'd be hesitant for either Thomas or Cameron because Thomas had his own injuries to deal with and he is a sieve of a blocker. I would like to improve on the OL before allowing someone like Thomas to be our point on TE. Because in our offense, a blocking TE is needed. It is like having another lineman on the wing. I guess we'll see! Tuesday cannot come soon enough...

Absolutely. I'm more excited about the draft though, with having ten picks. I can already see many new faces making the roster :hungry:

didn't use him enough in the passing game

[The Gemini Method]

I guess so. But he did have some huge catches in the 2013-14 season. I wish him the best unless he goes to the 49ers.

Wil Blackmon signed/Lockette out of Seattle Spur-Addict. Thoughts?

[Spur-Addict]

Wil Blackmon signed/Lockette out of Seattle Spur-Addict. Thoughts?

Pleased about Blackmon, especially with Cary Williams likely coming aboard as well. We need that depth. Lockette I could care less about, although he was excellent on Special Teams. We'll need to replace him there as that is where most of his value is.

[spurraider21]

there are rumblings that the raiders will go after Malcom Smith and play him at MLB. he's small, but it looks like we're trying to add a 2nd nose tackle (either Knighton or Dan Williams) to play alongside last year's rookie Justin Ellis. with 2 blobs up front (think Siragusa/Adams or Stroud/Henderson.... two duos whose defenses had Jack Del Rio on staff), having a huge MLB isn't as necessary. Ken Norton coached smith in seattle and USC

[Spur-Addict]

It seems Lockette will actually be in camp. He was given a Q.O. Shead as well.

Yeah I don't know what they're planning there but it better be a damn good plan. We have needs all across the line now.

[Spur-Addict]

We have plenty of TEs that can't block, but none that can do what he does offensively. Stop being a hater :lol

[The Gemini Method]

Whoa. Thank you Maxxy for helping us win our first title. Welcome to Jimmy Graham! We have a legit tight end but our O-Line is depleted with Carpenter and Unger now elsewhere.

[Spur-Addict]

Whoa. Thank you Maxxy for helping us win our first title. Welcome to Jimmy Graham! We have a legit tight end but our O-Line is depleted with Carpenter and Unger now elsewhere.

Out of our, what, nine picks now? How many of them will be OL/DL? Signed two corners in FA, can't imagine they'll spend too much time there. Although they likely have some guys targeted in the later rounds. I have a weird feeling they may be somewhat oddly content at WR. I hope not, although now it shouldn't be a overly pressing need. Hopefully this means Richardson's rehab is coming along better than expected.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

I'm not hating. I just thought it was common knowledge you guys don't have a line.

[Spur-Addict]

I'm not hating. I just thought it was common knowledge you guys don't have a line.

Oh, I thought you were giving a jab there. My bad. But yes, our line has been depleted for a while because Unger and Okung have been consistently unhealthy. Both being pro bowlers, and not on the field has hurt us quite a bit. So while losing Unger does hurt, if we can use a few of these picks on above average OL in this draft it'll soften the blow.

We are getting a fourth back in the Graham trade The Gemini Method, I can breathe a sigh of relief. Trading back a few spots as opposed to not having a pick at all is a relief.

Trading back a few spots as opposed to not having a pick at all is a relief. Definitely a sign that we are going all-in for the next few years. Gotta take advantage of Beastmode and the youth on this team. I think Paul Richardson will be vital this coming year if we don't select a burner at WR or find one off the FA heap. Going to be interesting what we do to shore up an already horrid O-Line. I know Unger has only had a handful of injury-free seasons, he was a rock when healthy. Jimmy Graham is coming off his worst season physically and so that'll be something we need to keep an eye on.

[Spur-Addict]

What's next The Gemini Method? Plenty of O-Line needs, and some D-Line needs that's for sure, more so interior. But with the return of Jordan Hill and Mebane (If Bane doesn't become a cap casualty, then how much of a need is at D-Line really?) Wilson/Wagner still have to be addressed. And of course adding a WR wouldn't be a bad thing either but that's not so much a need as it was a few days ago (Cough-Cough).

Sherman/Williams/Simon/Lane/Blackmon/Burley/Draft Filler is a nice line of DBs. We probably will need a safety with the uncertainty of Jeron Johnson. I have my fingers crossed that we resign Kevin Williams, and we have no need at LB/RB/QB. Although Tavaris Jackson may leave for Minnesota so a back up may be in the works as I'm not sure about B.J Daniels. You never know with this front office so, :lol

I see you Raven...hey I'm having this debate with a Pats fan friend of mine. He says that the Pats' secondary is going to be better w/o Revis and that the remainder of the CBs are all no.2 CB quality. Do you believe that or are you more realistic and think they're ok but not starter types across the board?

while i do like dennard and ryan, especially in zone D, saying it will be better, is laughable. if the secondary will be top 15 and the whole d top 10, it will be a massive achievement. Likely the result of natural growth in our young D.

He's a hard-hitter, solid against the run and can also play special teams. Didn't see the field much in Seattle because he's been stuck behind Chancellor and Thomas. Can't wait to see him get real playing time :tu

[The Gemini Method]

Will be a solid pickup--he has had his share of nagging injuries and played behind the best safety tandem in the league. It's his time to get his.

Your friend is retarded.

Pats Nation has been bitching about our shitty secondary for a half a decade. It's not a coincidence that we got good CBs then (barely) won a title. While I appreciate McCourty, I don't know if I would have prioritized him over Revis. I look forward to another season of giving up 3rd and 18s.

Yeah, I know he is...He's quite possibly the biggest Masshole that isn't even from Massachusetts. Had the Pats beating Seattle by 20pts. Got wasted and missed the ill-fated play at the 1 yard line. I mean, you can never count out a Belichick-led team that's for sure though. But this guy is something else.

I read the article, and apparently it's more about the contract than anything else. I haven't seen much about it so I can't really say much, but I hope he stays as he is our best D-Lineman IMO.

Okay. Overachiever (former 6th-round pick, IIRC), good motor at a position where guys are prone to taking plays off. Good depth for a contender, although he's going into his eighth season and I'm not sure how much he has left.

Lol Bruce Irvin

Yeah I'm not really concerned. We have Marsh coming back, and our recently drafted prerequisite one wife beater per team in Clark, coming into the mix. So we'll be alright on the edge as far as depth is concerned. He was a 1st round pick though so you would've hoped for a better impact than he gave based on the investment, but it's great that Ken Norton salvaged a near disaster and turned him into a contributing Linebacker.

[spurraider21]

Really interested to see what Seattle concepts Norton brings over. Del Rio will be pretty hands-on with the defense too, so it should be an interesting scheme blend

[Spur-Addict]

You guys have a really good get. Out of all the coaches we lost lately, to me, Norton was the most valuable. They are my favorite position group on defense, especially with the sort of versatility he required in all of his LB's. He really saved Irvin's career to be completely strait forward. He's not just a "rah-rah, fire the guys up" Singletary type of coach by any means.
