  1. to add to that...our division rival wannabes, the Retardinals, released Ifeanyi Ohalete...he was pretty good last year as their starter

    kinda surprising


    out of our cut players, Cochran is the biggest, most surprising, and most impactful...but im saddened more by the loss of Junior Rosegreen...i really liked him...best of luck to him in the future...i knew he didnt have a chance at that position

  2. Like ADP said, no big surprises really, and nothing that'll hurt the team anyway. And I think we actually upgraded by losing Cochran(never quite made the grade as far as being starter material, but was a great backup), and adding Kashama, who I think will be an improvement, apparently he's a pass rush specialist.

    I'll be interested to see him in the next game.

  4. Vinny, I gotta say, and you know I love you man but, whoa! You need to lay off the koolaid if you think that the "sackmaster" is a "passrush specialist" and an upgrade over Cochrain! The guy has NEVER played! He isn't anything at all, not a specialist for anything but sitting on the bench warming it up for much better players. I know it's hard for you to admit when the Hawks make mistakes, but this could very well turn out to be one. Granted a very small one in the big picture, but lets not call this one tackle wonder a "specialist". That's going WAY too far bud.

  5. Nobody here to raise an eyebrow, with the possible exception of Cochran. A few cuts by other teams may be interesting to the Seahawks, namely Peerless Price and Peter Warwick.

  6. The greatest Warwick  of all! Unfortunately Peter WARRICK isn't worth the gold...

  7. My bad, I was thinking of another player that was being discussed, and now I can't find teh article anywhere. Anyway, we'll have to wait and see, he's only meant to be a prospect, someone to come along gradually. After all, you know my thinking, we're fine on defense, anyone they pick up now is depth at best, and who can we get for teh money we have to spend? Would you have them spend every available dime we have just to get a big name guy that may not even play? Obviously we aren't hurting as much as you think we are if they can let Cochran go. Unless they know something about someone else that's going to be available, that they're looking at.
