Great 1st. period, could have been up 5 zip. The boys left on there 3 week holiday at the intermission.

They are incredibly inconsistent at showing up for the whole game. Almost never against the better teams.

I tried to look up stats yesterday and the defensive stats were listed beside the QB names.

Meh.  I never did understand that.  Ever since JFG (or maybe before), we park our weakest NAT out wide and throw him 2-3 balls a game (usually misses).  At least Woli got some production out of that role in his time here.

I guess because you hide your weakest link widest out and forget about him... but now we have some beef we could use inside, and we'll still park him out there?  Well, at least we can hope he'll catch more rail-gos than JFG ever did...

Yes, you can get worse players more production if you get them closer to the QB and pepper them with more targets.

Generally offences plan to get the ball more to the better players though.

I cant find enough spending during the season last year to even come close to the 400k  we didnt spend after the SMS went up. Not to mention Schoen's 6 game stints etc.

We almost definitely had SMS left for 2025. KW doesn't go shopping unless he has cash.

We definitely had so much cash. And, in retrospect, it's a way better use if it now than to have arbitrarily overpaid for the scrubs that were left after FA was already mid-swing when the announcement was made last year.

What an absolute cluster f that was.

McKenna might be in a lot of trouble. The kid might have screwed himself.

Read all the posts, you will see I am a SD fan, so it's the Seahawks for me.

Expected, or hoped for.

If you expect it, you pay for it, like the FA's signed this year.

If you are hoping for it, you sign discount players...

Mitchell was a discount

He was 165k. Not a discount at all. Almost half was up front. He was coming off a 800 yard season.
We EXPECTED a lot more.

So it's likely we'll normally put Willie & Cersna together on one side, probably against the RG/RT?  They'll have to shift more resources to cover that side, freeing up some sneaky play on the "weaker" side?

Can't sneeze at Lawson, either.  Boy, it would sure be nice if we could have a super-effective final DE to put the nail in the O's coffin.

I think we will give all kinds of looks with both the 3 and 4 man looks. Guys will be lining up everywhere. Ceresna, and Jake out allows for it. Be very interesting to watch. If we can get opposing QBs confused they aren't going thru their reads as effectively. Plus we need to punish QBs more even if it isn't a sack. We allowed old timers like Harris to sit in the pocket and go virtually untouched. That cant happen or he will carve you up. Harris, and VA fall apart if you hit them.
