He didn't pass, the guy went somewhere else even though we wanted him. Acting like JS made some giant of genius move by letting that you go is ridiculous. We need help at Guard BECAUSE he chose to NOT sign with us. JS actually took a little heat for that. He shouldn't have, I mean, why wouldn't we want him to pass a physical. But in your haste to make JS the greatest, you kind of fucked up the facts there. JS passes my ass.

Exactly, of course JS wanted him or why would he have offered him a fucking contract in the first place? JS offered fries the same contract he signed in Minnesota didn't he? Again, i don't think it was about a physical actually, he was going to have to take a physical no matter where he signed so what difference did it make? For whatever reason he slipped through JS's hands. I didn't say a thing about it being genius, who the fuck knows until it plays out with real football. Fries could have a huge season in Minnesota and bradford flames out as soon as the bell rings. I do think it would be fortuitous if JS gets away with not spending more on the Oline than he did, we shall see

and there ya go...so he's available because of the $88 mil deal fries got and JS passed on

So, you read this fucking sentence and don't see someone trying to give JS credit for NOT signing a player? I swear to God, why do I let you bait me into this bullshit? You are either the nuttiest fucker in the Chex Mix or a giant asshole that does this shit on purpose.

No I don't actually. It was a poor choice of words but passing on something doesn't make it a genius move, it just means passing on something. Passing on a hit in poker doesn't make you a genius.

Only, in this instance it would be like asking for a hit and the dealer doesn’t hit you. He didn’t pass on shit, he lost the guy he wanted to another team.

either way I don't see where you are getting making him a genius, at best it makes him lucky, and I would go along with that. I did see it kinda like a poker hand and he had folded, Minnesota had raised the stakes. Thing is he didn't seem to have an alternate plan. He was prepared to pay top dollar for a guard but when that went away nothing else happened other than bradford seemingly showing up having miraculously become a new man.

a dozen fights?

The Green Bay Packers and the Seattle Seahawks got into it during Thursday’s joint practice — and not just football-wise. Players from both teams had their fuses blow up in a heated practice session that resulted in fights and even got a player tossed out of the field.

There were several fights (reportedly around a dozen of them) that erupted during the course of the session, though it can be said that such physicality was expected. It’s not a strange occurrence in the NFL to see players from opposing sides engage in fights, as practices can truly be as intense as those in a real game.

That player who got removed from the session was Packers right tackle Zach Tom, who traded punches with Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones IV and cornerback Devon

The best sign Thursday for Seattle’s offense for deep into the season was that Kenneth Walker was full go in it again. The lead running back fully participated for the third consecutive practice. This, after weeks of him alternating at times, and at other times missing three and four days in a row with a sore foot. This spring the team most kept Walker out of team drills.

how about trading Walker, there was a clickbait article awhile ago promoting it, is Charbonnet taking his job?

As he has struggled to stay on the field, Charbonnet hasn't missed a day. That added some serious weight to what new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak said earlier in camp when he was asked about the skills that make an elite running back.

"No. 1 is intelligence," Kubiak, who's installing a run-heavy offense, told Seattle Sports 710-AM. "No. 2 is longevity or just availability. Guys that are available for the whole game. The best backs that I've been around are super smart ... Our top two guys are doing some really good things, but Charbonnet, his mental approach to the game is extremely impressive. He does not flinch. If he ever has a question, you know you didn't coach it good enough because he is that on it. Really been impressed with him."

The embodiment of general manager John Schneider's oft-stated desire for players who are "smart, tough and reliable," the 2023 second-round pick has missed one game in two seasons.

"Zach, he's just a stud," Macdonald said. "He's just everything you want in a person and a football player, that's him."

this guy has the seahawks with the leagues number one defense

Simply put, Sheil Kapadia of The Ringer explains why the Seattle Seahawks will field the league’s top defense in 2025. “Surprise! The reason I have the Seahawks in the top spot is simple: coaching plus scheme plus talent. All the ingredients are here for a great defense. Seattle came on strong in the second half of last season, and Mike Macdonald’s defenses over the past three seasons (including two in Baltimore) have all finished in the top 10 in efficiency.”
