Great point I often wonder why Seattle seems to slow play negotiations. I am very sure there is an agreement to be made. Get it done before training camp.
Him tracking down Budda Baker was all heart and God given ability. I hadn't thought of that play in awhile. Cheers
Your right he didn't hit it big but he did get life changing money. You have his 4 year previous earnings to consider. I am glad he got the money for the blood and guts he displayed.
Pete says he is one of his favorite Seahawks, I am not sure what he could do. I think he is to quiet to coach, but Pete will help if he can
It's exciting to read these articles and watch the videos. I'm not one to count my chickens before the eggs hatch so I'm waiting until he shows he can do this at the next level before I get excited. But I'm definitely intrigued. Brings to mind Barry Sanders' first game against the Cardinals, first game of the "89 season. The Cards won that game but only because the Lions' coach didn't put him in until late in the game and he only had nine carries. Every time he got the ball he ran all over the defense.
He'd arrived in camp just a few days before that first game so the plan was to not play him at all. He went in as a desperation move and the result was a coming out party.
I guess even mentioning Sanders in a comment about Walker is a setup, so maybe I am counting my chickens. It's not fair in a thousand ways. No one was more elusive, could better stop on a dime or make a move to avoid a defender than Barry. Both were seen as fast but not super fast. Walker may be faster of the two. The reason I mention Sanders is that Walker creates holes (or at last did at the college level) in a way that reminds me of Barry. It's concerning that Carroll listed him as one the guys who reported out of shape. Let's hope he comes ready to play.
First let's say good luck to Chris Carson. I am fucking glad he got paid. If he makes it back that would be great but it sounds iffy.
I did watch Walker prior to the draft as he was ranked the second best runningback, to me he looked the best. From what I have come to understand of Seattle's running scheme the back chooses his lane. I think this gives our backs including Walker the ability to create. We will throw the ball enough so as the runningbacks are not keyed on every play. This is a hope, but wouldn't it be great if we were able to run the ball so well that we are dangerous. There will not be two high safeties if this is the case. Play action would work great. DK, ( pay him) will get one on one as Tyler will. Noha Fant will be a huge weapon over the middle. Both Geno and Lock are good enough to hit the open man and use the middle of the field. I saw a hot/cold graf of where we threw the ball last year. I knew it was bad but the map was ice blue on anything in between the numbers. Walker will break our injury jinx at runningback (crossing my fingers) and at the same time our new tackles will run block well. It's June and I am hopeful. I am tired of all the so called experts telling us to trade DK. You hope to win the lottery on draft day we did with DK. Why would we trade our best weapon when he is 24. It seems Mike Florio just wants it done so he can pontificate
Walker was a great draft pick and a much needed one. Unfortunately it looks like Carsons neck injury is career ending much like Cam Bams.
Your content just keeps getting better. Really enjoying this series. Been a long time since I've seen us with a RB who appears to have a full toolbox.
