I know it's unlikely, but it would be awesome see them doing something kinda crazy because they have 10 or 11 draft picks and try to trade up the draft and get Todd Gurley or Melvin Gordon as a replacement for Marshawn Lynch, basically red shirt them for another year until Marshawn retires or leaves after contract. They are so unpredictable though they'll probably draft a QB first round lol
I love the article...its the most Captain Obvious article ever written about something so obvious...ever.
Who the fuck didnt know that Cable was a run-block genius??? Thats nice and all, but you know what? Pass pro is also good. It helps the longevity of your most highest paid asset...your QB. Britt may be OK in the run game, but his pass pro was one of the worst in all the NFL for ANY OL position. It was bad. Did this author also WATCH the fuckin games? How many drive killers did we have becuase we ran 2X for little gain, and then RW would get harassed on 3rd down? Too often. I know, i know...we went to back-to-back SB's. I get it. But that doesn't make it less frustrating to watch. Imagine how much better we would be if Cable knew how to ALSO coach guys to pass protect. We would be 16-0 every year and score 30 points a game!
But, i digress.

I know, pass blocking fucking sucks that's just Cable and his way, everywhere he goes awesome run game shitty pass protection. The trade off I guess. Still looking at who's under contract, as much as I'd like the line to improve I have no faith in them drafting anyone good so I'd rather them use high draft picks for skilled position like WR, TE or RB if one of those two guys are available. Maybe even CB since Maxwell will most likely be gone. No idea what kind of pass rushers there are available in the draft, everyone just keeps talking about how deep it will be for receivers and running backs. But those are the most important needs right now, got to get Wilson some weapons and fill the holes on defense. They've proven they can get to the superbowl twice now with shitty pass protection.
Lucky you have the best pocket scrambler of all time, how the fuck does he spin around, and pivot and get the ball out like that?

I think TE is actually one of our biggest needs. Willson is inconsistent, Miller is aging and injured, and who else to we even have???
Maxx Williams from Minny looks like a Miller clone...would be nice to pick him up in the draft.

And yes, I would like to look at another Rb as well. In fact, Cobb from Minny is an interesting kid. Workhorse. Runs through tackles. Could get him in the late rounds easily. WR is down this season, however. RB is deeper.
You know what would be nice? If Marcus Peters somehow fell to us...he is a PERFECT LOB candidate. Aggressive and thrives in press.

"Harbaugh confirmed that he was told he was out after the Week 15 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, and Harbaugh said that he didn't consider any other NFL team -- Michigan was always his destination."
Lmao. He was really gone after turkey day lets be real.

He was gone last off season when they couldnt come to an agreement on an extension. Anything less than a super bowl win and it was inevitable.

So Charles Tillman from da bears isn't going to retire, will likely not resign with Chicago and said he wants to play for a championship team. No idea what he's worth at his age, but he would be a solid pick up for Seattle as a replacement for Maxwell and while Simon still develops. Question obviously is cost and health, but he's a great leader, a very solid CB even at his age, and he's the best player I've ever seen at forcing fumbles. I'd take a serious look at him if I'm the Seahawks.
Lets just WHAT IF for a minute and enjoy the delusions, ignore salary caps and possible team chemistry issues
WHAT IF Fitzgerald comes to Seattle, Suh comes here, Tillman comes here (if we lose Maxwell).
We finally have a #1 WR, which we haven't had since Sidney Rice. Russell Wilson loved having Rice as his deep ball near guaranteed 3rd down conversion, Rice had like roughly 750 yards even with those injuries. So its a given Fitz is putting up 1000+ very easily. P Rich has shown he can be good if he stays healthy. Chris Matthews had flashes of brilliance in the superbowl lets assume he gets better. Baldwin and Kearse could play the roles they're much better at, kind of flying under the radar, working man to man and getting the ball when it counts. Suddenly we have a pretty scary offense.
Suh is a veteran and guaranteed double team which would allow avril and bennett constant 1 on 1's and we know that usually means they're getting to the quarterback more often than not. We might even break franchise sack records, and our turnovers would increase for sure with consistent pressure on the quarterback.
Tillman would give quarterbacks an even bigger headache. No longer could you just completely take Sherman out of the game by ignoring that side and picking on Tillmans side, that's just not going to work out well no matter the QB lol. Then what, attack the middle, and get your receiver murdered by Earl, Wagner or Chancellor? Nah. Plus we'd likely see increased turnovers, he wants turnovers just as bad as us lol.
I dunno i think that team would be better than anything we've seen so far

Also not to mention the characters and presence of Tillman and Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald especially..... our receivers need to grow up a little... I was pretty soured on Baldwin, specifically his attitude before and during the superbowl. Suh on defense, well he'd fit right in as long as he didn't do anything dirty; Seahawks hit clean and play clean and he better too lol.
Marshawn Lynch -- Powerful Speech In Oakland ... Let's Stop Killing Each Other [Video] | TMZ.com
He doesn't talk much, but when he does, it's powerful ... so when Marshawn Lynch took the stage at a rap show in Oakland last year, he had a strong message for the crowd -- STOP KILLING EACH OTHER.
TMZ Sports obtained footage of an emotional Lynch addressing the crowd at The New Parish in his hometown of Oakland, CA in the summer of 2014.
Beast Mode tells the crowd he's extremely proud to "represent where I'm from on the national mother f**king stage" ... but says, "I've been losing too many of ya'll."
Marshawn is obviously referring to the fact that Oakland is consistently ranked among the most dangerous cities in the country ... and had the 2nd highest rate of violent crime in 2014.
"We need to be here for each other," Lynch said ... who also explained why it's IMPERATIVE that the young people hear his message.
Check out the clip -- it's a side of Lynch most people don't get to see ... but should.

We all know Maxwell will be gone, but holy shit the Eagles are going to overpay like a mofo. Supposedly offering over $10 million a year:

I'm happy for Maxi, he should take that deal as soon as he's available to.
