Seahawks trade for Whitehurst

[SeahawkWag]

We got a FB
When schmitt played he always either made a great block or caught the ball. Never could figure out what the hell Mora saw in JG.

Draft a QB next year
Find a blocking TE somewhere
Let's find a LS that will stick around for at least 1 yr

 

[sigpro]

QB, FB and TE too.

We don't need a TE I forgot about Carlson, I'm not sure how I forgot our best draft pick in the last five years! (besides Lofa) Jury is still out on QB, though I think Whitehurst will be good.

Please tell me you are kidding...

ummmm no
he out played that worthless guy that started but only came in what 6 times a game

Looking at the available quarterbacks this draft season, picking up Whitehurst was a good investment. He's was coached the west coast offense that meshes well with Carroll's style. And it'll free up some money for much needed offensive linemen, rather than paying 1st round money to a rookie QB.

? they were not going to take a 1st round QB this year

maybe not but it was a posibilty. thank goodness theyre not now though

 

[Fenom]

There was probably a chance that they would have taken a QB in the 1st or 2nd round this year, but now that they have Whitehurst they won't. That also rules out Jake Locker.

First of all, define out played. I want evidence. Prove it to me. Was it his 6 receptions for 21 yards in the 11 games he played? Or his 0 yards on 0 attempts rushing?

And second of all, even if true, outplaying Griffith DEFINITELY does not make you a good player...

Makes the coaches look stupid. Go look at the film when he was in. He BLOCKED EVERYONE

Where do you get your videos?

He did seem to give more effort than Griffith.

I like Schmitt he may not be the most talented Fullback in the league and he's definitely not the smartest but he plays with intensity and brings it on every play.

Wondering the same thing...

I don't have access to all the games (unless you'd kindly like to lend them ), but I don't seem to recall anyone ever commenting on Schmitts performance except for the time he bashed his head open.

i still amtrying to figure out to this day why we let leonard weaver go

something about his agent saying they were gonna get a long term deal around 3.5-4 per year. That and his reluctance to blocking.

From what I remember he was more of a receiving fullback and wasn't that great at blocking. The amount of money he wanted was probably a big factor too.

Not very often people get excited about a blocking FB on a 5-11 team.

The helmet smash was a ploy to get seattle on prime time television.

If we are a 5-11 team and there is something good going on, wouldn't someone point it out?
