I think we will get our first look at Bruce Irving. Taylor should follow Mr. Irving around like a puppy. Taylor is still a good prospect, but it seems he is the Seahawk defender struggling most with the 3-4. Personally i would can the new scheme because i think it was meant to bring out the best of Jamal Adams, so maybe reboot in 2023. Right now the best thing for Taylor would be to play him on 3rd and 6 or more, and give him a chance at a 1st and 15 or a down like 2nd and 12 where you still have to respect the run. Otherwise only put him in if the guys in the rotation are gassed. He needs to rebuild his confidence. OG Pete is the perfect coach to instill some much needed bravado. Along the same lines, if and or when Collier plays have him play end on run downs something I think he can do. He is not what you would call a quick twitch player but he is strong. We need to find the combinations that STOPS THE RUN 🏃‍♀️.

I bet you never thought 2 months ago you would be writing this in October!

“ The Seahawks are also still sorting through the cornerbacks room to figure out the best combination to slot around Tariq Woolen.”

Speaking of which I haven’t seen any updates on Tre Brown recently—anyone heard about him?

It will be interesting to see what happened with Sidney Jones because he sure pissed off somebody important. Will Tre Brown be back in time to see what his role can be or is this a lost season? Is Artie Burns a myth? Quandre is a steady hand on a decent defense but he's not an impact athlete. We have nobody that the opposing offense has to plan for.

Will any of the current defensive linemen return in 2023? Harris has a dead money hit of $3.2 mil, Jefferson $2 mil, Woods, $1.75, Mone $ 1 mil, and Poona is a free agent. They could fire the entire defensive line for $8 million.

When Pete/John were building this defensive roster they must have looked at each other over a late night glass of sherry and sighed, "Our margin is really thin. If we lose anyone important, Taylor doesn't produce, and Barton isn't good enough we are screwed on defense but that's okay because we're not going to score that much either. It's a rebuild and this year's going to suck, it's just the way the NFL works." Nobody knows better than Pete/John that our talent doesn't match up.

RB Tony Jones, Jr., LB Cullen Gillaspia, CB Isaiah Dunn, S Teez Tabor, LS Carson Tinker…

A thought on defense:

Getting Bruce back is a huge two-fer. He'll make us better with his play AND he'll make our other LB's better with his knowledge. Own your gap and set the edge right? I look for much better run stopping LB play.

I also look for a winning lottery ticket. Could happen right?

How inspired will Walker3 be when Shaun Alexander is inducted into the ring of honor at today's game?

I am putting it out there right now he gets 200 total yards and 2 TDs today. 130+ rushing and 70+ receiving.
