I remember the game after his trade the Jets hit him on a bomb like sixty yards down field. I wonder if Bevell's mind exploded knowing he could run a route past the line of scrimmage!? Jimmy? I loved the move when we made it. The weapon we were lacking, a Red Zone threat. I hated it as soon as Jimmy got to camp and PC spent weeks trying to teach him how to play with his hands in the dirt! You basically traded for a giant slot receiver and decided he needed to do something else!
Everyone ignores this when I say it, but when the Jets DC Greg Williams said Adams would hate it here because we wouldn't know how to use him? We scoffed....but now everyone forgets that and just assumes that it's all Jamal's fault. The dude was a fucking All Pro the two years before he got here and the first year he was here. Then we decided he was a cover Safety. Dumb.
IMO we are all about to see what these cats we have on defense can actually do when they are playing football and not being asked to play "prevent the big play" ball.
I like all those trades - especially Harvin. The team was stacked and wilson was given arguably the scariest offensive weapon in the league. Didn't pan out how we wanted, but what he did in the Super Bowl was jaw dropping. Yeah, they messed up Graham and overpaid for jamal. Curious how they didn't really maximize the production of either offensive weapon and seemed to have misused Jamal - which spans several different coordinators, leaving me wonder if the problem has been carroll all along. maybe not, but the same issues seem to have remained in Seattle regardless of who departs. The reality is Seattle was 9-8 last year playing some really putrid football. Seems to me just scheming better defensively should make a huge difference. In our division, it's going to be about which defense can stop the Lambs and Chardonnay nation.
