Old but Slow wrote:Wow! Irish Greg in the flesh, or at least in type. Welcome home. We have all missed your input and your mind. Are you still in the military?
More importantly, what do think about how the Seahawks are progressing and the moves they have made?
I am excited to have you back.
OBS! Awesome to see you here.
I retired from the Navy in 2018. They got 30 years from me, that was enough!
I have liked a lot of what the Seahawks have done this off-season. I felt it was time to move on from Pete a few seasons ago, and only sentimental ignorance was keeping him around. We just weren't clicking with him. I love Pete, but it was time. Look at our post-season record since 2015, that's all you need to know. It wasn't all on him, clearly, but he wanted to be the BMFIC and the buck stops there.
LOVE the Macdonald hire. I think Grubb will be much better than that doofus Waldron (he was TERRIBLE). The franchise desperately needed fresh blood on the staff, and innovation. Hurtt was awful, and teams licked their chops when they got to put together game plans for that crap scheme we were trotting out.
It was also time for B Wagz to go. He is a Top 5 all-time Seahawk for me, but boy was he a liability in coverage (just watch how McVay and Shanahan beat our brains in on Middle Of Field routes last season).
Same goes for Adams and Diggs. Adams will never be the same, and while Diggs can still play there is no way we could have that much cap space tied up in two older Safeties.
I am still iffy on Schneider as a GM, so we will see how things fall into place without Daddy Pete here to keep him on the rails.
Now, are all the fans who jumped on the wagon after the LOB era ready for some hard spots? This is a winning franchise, despite lack of success recently in the post-season. A whole new staff and scheme, a brand new HC who has never been a HC before, lots of young players. Are the fans ready for a 7-10 type season??
