Holmgren might have believed that logic, but he didn't always follow it. He drafted Chris Spencer as our center then tolerated him for I don't know how long. Spencer never could make good calls at the LOS.[

I ain't defending him, guy dismantled that team as quickly as it was assembled through shear stupidity, I'm just pointing out without his drafts on D and signing, Seattle lacks the ability to get to the SB.

It's easy to forget, but up until the Mora season when the team went over the cliff, everyone and their dog were singing the praises of Tim Ruskell, including all the regulars in the old PI forum, myself included.

BTW, anyone remember how we ended up with Earl Thomas in the first place? I do. We had two #1 picks in Pete's first year, courtesy a ridiculously one sided trade that Ruskell negotiated with the Broncos from the year before. We used our own #1 on Russell Okung and Denver's #1 on Earl.

He made some strange moves, one of which benefited us big time.
