Okada and Thomas were such great stories filling in while teammates were down. Minimal drop-off in play, and very difficult to keep off the field afterwards. Thomas is not that big for a LB, but plays MUCH bigger. Okada is just a football player. Takes good angles and tackles really well. Both have had to earn everything they've gotten, so big hat-tip to them.
Given K9 is a FA and Zach is injured, keeping Holani around is indeed a no-brainer. And he's shown to be solid in spot duty, and could evolve into much more if he gets the opportunity.
I ordered some Seahawks Championship gear after they won the Super Bowl, and it should be here this week sometime. Just in time, as I've worn my 2013 purchases out. Maybe they knew I needed new gear? Good a reason as any to win the Super Bowl. Thanks guys!
You say Thomas “is not that big” yet while yes 3 inches shorter than Jones they are effectively the same weight, 230 to 228. Bwags is only 1 inch taller. Although about 15 pounds heavier.
Would it be weird that because we already won the Super Bowl, to trade our best player and his $40 million dollar request for a Max Crosby? Draft a wide receiver. We have some rookies coming off injuries that will be like new draft picks. It does sound weird once I reread this, but...
Yes! Vinnie Barbarino! Growing up in Queens, not Brooklyn, (but close enough for almost all practical purposes) I remember him fondly. (“Get off my case, toilet face!”) He was a marvel of survival for the 50 IQ set. (“I’m so confused.”)
I don’t think anyone could argue that these two players will be back next year. Can Holani be RB1B if they sign K9? One wild card who could surprise and compete is Kenny McIntosh. I was hopeful for him when he first got to Seattle. One stat that always stayed with me is he had over 500 yards receiving as a RB his last year at Georgia. Fleury does like RBs who can catch the ball. Can he stay healthy and make a splash?
Yeah, I often wondered about where KMac sat in the scheme of things. Every time he played, he seemed pretty good to me. Kinda dropped off the radar for some reason though.
Total side note...watching sound of the Seahawks ep 10. Grey Zabel on the sidelines giving Leonard Williams advice on how to beat the o line from SF...and he takes it and gets sack because of it. I love this TEAM!
I saw that and thought it was fantastic. Who really knows how interactions between team mates really goes, but I suspect this example is a rarity, and just fantastic.

Gabe Kaplan is not only a good actor, but a hell of a poker player as well. He does commentary for High Stakes Poker on TV.

Ah no thanks. If DK? Absolutely. JSN no not now. For one. At a minimum we’ve got 2 more, plus, years of service from him.
" you’d go “ohhh yeahhhhh”"
~ "... i sota remember." Ya got us.
Agree, two no brainers. Keep plugging away and one might run into a Super Bowl ring! So happy for these two!
Don't sleep on Holani. Okada just keeps getting better and his tackles are not like everyone else's...that dude had some HITS.

Constantly hurt kept him from really getting to show what he could do. With Charbs out of camp next year, maybe K9 too, he could have that opportunity

For a veteran of LW status to even listen to a rookie is probably kinda rare in this ego driven world of the nfl.
I can remember the reverse happening in training camp — Zabel asking how do I counter the move you just beat me with?
Those two really seem to have a special relationship. I love this team!
Hadn't heard that. Thanks, Scott. We All We Got ! We All We Need !
