Name 2 of Your Favorite Seahawks From Each Decade

Postby Vegaseahawk » Wed Jul 01, 2015 9:37 pm

The rules are kinda loose. As long as a player played during the decade, he's in.

70's-Zorn & Largent
80's- Jacob Green & Kenny Easley
90's- Tez & John L Williams
Y2K- Hass & Big Walt
2010-pres- Chancellor & RW

I have trouble finding reasons to disagree with you on any pick, so I'll just say: I'd probably give Easley *both* nods in the 80s... because he deserved it.

It's easy to let nostalgia overwhelm your judgment, but he was the most dominating defensive player I've ever seen, with the possible exception of Watt. LT (for instance) was never up to his level.

His career was just cut short or he'd be the DB every other guy was compared to at every position. Hit and tackled like the best LB in the league, covered and intercepted like the best corner/safety in the league.

Fredd Young was one of the best special team players in franchise history, and although I don't blame him for trying, he overplayed his hand by arguing for a starting assignment. Trading him was one of the best personnel decisions made in the Knox era.

1970s: wasn't a fan yet, but in retrospect, I'd say Jim Zorn and Steve Largent
1980s: Dave Krieg, Steve Largent (I could go on and on with my 80s favorites)
1990s: John L. Williams, Mack Strong
2000s: Matt Hasselbeck, Lofa Tatupu (I also really liked Daryl Jackson, Walter Jones, Chris Gray, but they're not in the top 2)
2010s: Russell Wilson, Earl Thomas (I could easily place Kam Chancellor or Richard Sherman in the top 2 as well, but I was forced to pick)

GO SEAHAWKS!!!
