Trade

Interesting research, this is what I was going by, Bob Condotta article on how the Seahawks plan to use Jones.

The Seahawks plan to play Jones in the middle and move Tyrel Dodson to the weakside to replace Jerome Baker, who was traded to Tennessee as part of the deal along with a 2025 fourth-round pick.

.The Seahawks get Jones, hoping a pairing of him in the middle and Dodson on the weakside can improve the team’s defense in the short-term – especially against the run – and prove to the team to be a viable combo for the long-term

Like I told them, ‘I just work here. I’m a team guy,’ ” Dodson said. “… Moving over to the Will position, (you’re still) playing linebacker at the end of the day.”

As Dodson noted, he played the weakside primarily last year for Buffalo – this week’s opponent – starting 10 games and finishing as the highest-rated linebacker in the NFL from Pro Football Focus.

It was that end-of-season performance that enticed the Seahawks to sign him and move him to the middle. Dodson’s grades aren’t quite as sterling this year, though still pretty good – he’s ranked 29th of 83 linebackers this week.

The Seahawks appear to be banking on Dodson proving an even better fit on the weakside, with Jones being a more prototypical physical, run-defending linebacker in the middle.

I was thinking it was more a roster construction issue. They thought they could get away with not having a more classic middle linebacker type. I was wondering it at the time, seemed like Wagner was getting to be a dinosaur but maybe not so much

I'm curious if anyone got a picture of Jones' helmet flying off as he's run over into the endzone.
That one pic would tell the story of the whole game.

That from Fieldgulls... If I'm Jody Allen I'm pissed. She stuck her neck out firing Pete, that was gutsy, Pete was a popular guy, and this is what she gets for her trouble, a shit show

They’re committing too many turnovers, too many penalties, too many coverage lapses, and too much general on-field dysfunction to believe they’re better than any of their division rivals. If that happens, I see no reason why John Schneider should have airtight job security for the 2025 season. He’s the one who keeps peddling the idea of being a playoff competitor every year, and this team hasn’t lived up to that reputation in years. I grew very tired of trying to separate him from Pete Carroll and the roster management we’ve seen, and now it’s his show. It looks like the same story but with a different Executive Producer.
