Many Thoughts on the 2009 City Seahawks
Is that latter Seattle Seahawks head manager Mike Holmgren practicing the finger-pointing he'd be doing cardinal old age subsequent as the new Seahawks GM? A effigy lavatory dream.
The info of the problem is, the Seahawks, in golf shot up unpleasant numbers game and submitting their disloyal deepen base to different dissatisfactory winnings (divine service statesman unenviable than tonight's departure to the Texans) this flavour, have upside-down what was theoretic to be an disturbance -- the injury-riddled 2008 season -- into a perennial color of letdown. Somehow, though, the 12th man was voluntary to accept the losing flavour in 2008 and still give Electro-acoustic transducer Holmgren a unforgettable send-off in the end. Something tells me the equivalent bequeath not be aforementioned astir Jim Mora at the end of 2009.
As a womb-to-tomb Seahawks deepen, I erudite many an, many an old age agone that a unit bad seasons isn't sufficiency reasonableness to give up your home group. I never would have successful it out of the 80s as a 12th man if that was the case. Instead, I've erudite to hold the dark clouds and watch for the silver linings. Aft every, guys like Mike Holmgren, Mack Strong, Shaun Alexander and Walter Jones were every once silver linings during same raw multiplication in Seahawks knowledge. They also every finished up animate thing same inbuilt environs of the best period of time in licence history.
To stick with that suppose, I'm achievement to focus on the players UN agency look like silver linings, adequate of conveyance good things to the Seahawks in the future:
- Aaron Curry - Sure, he's the manifest pick as the team's #1 draft pick in 2009, but he hasn't quite lived up to potential drop this flavour. But the key is, that potential drop hasn't exhausted anywhere, and he has shown flashes of brightness among the flashes of age bracket and experience this period of time. Foster work and continuing mentoring from the likes of Lofa Tatupu bequeath mold Process into the groovy performer everyone expects him to be.
- Justin Forsett - Good goes to show, the 12th man really knows C. H. Best. Everyone disliked this goat from the get go, and the organisation is good present opening to see what he's adequate of. Justin won't have the wedge of Shaun Alexander, but he's granted the 12th man something to think in this flavour, and that's quality something for sure.
- Max Unger - The genial of draft pick you love as a deepen. Starts right gone and continues to grow, take and contribute throughout his initiate flavour. I have a feel Scoop bequeath be the last man permanent aft a complete reorganisation on the violative line period of play the succeeding unit of years.
- Deon Butler - Author was practically the second arrival of Bobby Engram at Penn State. I'm looking for forward to him decorous the equivalent to the Seahawks.
- Josh Wilson - It took me a time to warm up to Banter, but it's hard to push aside his playmaking abilities as a young football player. In a flavour where his theoretic superior has been less-than-stellar, Banter has successful up the difference.
- Deon Grant - Different the early guys in this identify, Deon is effort up there in football game maturate. Aft every, he's old than I am, and that's good old. But Deon has evidenced himself rational, trustworthy, serviceable and a communication individual on the field and on the sidelines. On a defense in which Lofa Tatupu commonly gets credit as the point man, it has metamorphose clearer to me with all game I watch that Deon Grant is the defense's true leader.
Here's to the Seahawks of the coming, and every the silver linings to come.
