There's that
"I’m here to stay," Shaheed said Wednesday. "So, I’m excited to see if we can figure something out after the season ends. But, yeah, I’m excited."

JS clarifying his opinion of guards. I think we are looking at this thing backwards. Looking at Bradford as an obligation to find a replacement. I think he's more a gift from God. When JS goes to bed at night he isn't mulling over replacements, he's saying his prayers thankful he doesn't have to bother with it. For as bad as Bradford may be, and it could be he really is not that bad I don't see it negatively impacting the offense.

It is a curious thing, why are things working so well if Bradford is so bad? It just begs the question doesn't it? Before with Pete the questions were more negative. How can this defense be so bad, what happened? Today at least the questions seem more positive.
I would suggest you watch the video posted by DT again where it shows AB getting thrown aside by pass rushers or pushed all the way back into Darnold's grill multiple times and then tell me he isn't negatively impacting the offense. The problem with all you JS apologizers is that you can't imagine how the offense could be any better when it clearly could be by addressing this one problem.

I have seen them, I mentioned them before they were posted. Yeah, it is hard for me to imagine the offense being much better, that's the point
The Seahawks are averaging more than 385 yards per game since Week 5. In that span, Seattle leads the NFL in yards per play (6.92).

This passing game is becoming one of the NFL’s most efficient. The Seahawks are fourth in passing yardage per game (255.1), with the league’s second-lowest pass rate (50.3%).

Quarterback Sam Darnold has been deadly throwing the ball downfield. He is 20-for-28 targeting deep routes this year, and owns a passer rating of 153.3 on those attempts.

The 28-year-old, only eight games into his tenure in Seattle, already has an excellent feel for Klint Kubiak’s system.

Seattle’s pass protection deserves plenty of credit. Sam Darnold has been sacked only nine times all year.

JS apologists? You're joking, right? He's probably the leading candidate for executive of the year - he's masterfully built a very competitive roster after two years iof getting out from under PC. He landed the best FA QB on the market and at a crazy good value to Seattle. The problem here isn't JS - it's that you think every single problem can be addressed in your time, at your coinvenience, when YOU want it to. That's not how the world works, you take the deals when you can find them. You have NO idea if there is a better option, but common sense and historyn tells us that if there was a deal to be had - JS would have made it. It's hularious to watch the hand wringing and lamenting because EVERY position isn't stacked. LMAO. The expectations are ridiculous. Oh, by the way, have you checked out seattle's cap space situation coming up? HUgely favorable. JS lands an amazing and necessary asset to the offense that will improve the run, pass and special teams play, but that's not enough for you, you're sitting around obsessing on Bradley - while trying to somehow condemn people as JS apologists? Because ONE guy isn't better? Ignore the 99 wins to obsess on one loss.

Jesus Christ dude, we can't possible exist on the same planet. That's an absolutely retarded take. JS could land a hall of famer to replace bradley and you'd absolutely find something else to bitch and moan about. Jesus, one minute of gratitude would be good for you, just one.

Hard to imagine them being better than 31st in yards per carry or top 8 in total offense?

What does it have to do with being pushed back into Details?

Well, if it leads to him rushing the pass (if not getting sacked) 1-2 extra times per game it can result in losing a close game they might have otherwise won. Perhaps yhey think he will improve as the season goes on, but this is his 3rd season and he looks like the same player from his rookie year. He just doesn't have the athleticism necessary to tie up smaller, more agile pass rushers.

Seattle has one of the lowest sack rates in the league. The line is performing better than average. The addition of Rasheed is going to force defenses to account for him meaning two high safeties or another in the box or in man to man at the LOS - that will mean fewer players stacked in the box to play the run - that will open up the run game - to what degree remains to be seen. Not having a dominant run game - while having a dominant passing game - is not the end of the world. They will get there - and kubiak is getting better at countering defensive schemes - for anyone that hasn't noticed. That works in concert with the oline playing reps together. Bradley may very well be the weak link - but he is not prohibiting this offense from flourishing. If he was that big of a problem, it would have been addressed. 100% JS has tried to upgrade - just like he has upgraded the entire roster. You are going to have 'lesser' players - it is unavoidable. And when you look at how deep this team is at places - obsessing on Bradley seems silly. Weak link? Yup. That hasn't stopped them from dominating. Now, obviously AZ and FTR are going to be a different story - but the offense is literally scheming around the weakness - Rasheed will help that.

But the thing is that's so incremental, possibly rushing a pass one or two times a game, in my mind it's not worth giving up draft capital trying to fix it. That's the key, they have four draft picks left in the 2026 draft. I am happy with getting Rasheem, I honestly think that possibly could be the difference maker getting to a SB. That was a great move in my mind. I am not trading that for a Bradford upgrade. So what do we have left. Are you willing to trade one of our four remaining picks for an upgrade? It's up to you, trade one of them to possibly keep from having darnold not rushing one or two passes a game.
