I'm stealing this from a bumper sticker that I saw paraphrasing the familiar religion question, but now that the Seahawks have signed RB/KR Josh Scobey from the Cardinals, it seems to be a very topical thing to ponder today!Obviously, the front office didn't see enough from Lumsden, or his injuries are worse than expected, and they're still trying to figure out this kick returner position.
Personally, I'd like to see Mo-Mo or Pathon or someone else step up, so we can save a special teams roster spot for fan favorites like Jerhemy Urban or Kaz. However, if this kid can come in and be the second coming of Dante Hall, then I'm all for it!
On a somewhat related note, it's odd enough that there would be two people in the NFL with the name Josh Scobee, but really freaky that one's a kicker and one's a kick returner!
Its really too bad our Scobey can't kick and return kicks, that would be some efficient use of roster space there...
ReplyDeleteWonder whose roster slot he is going to threaten? He looks to be a pretty direct replacement, as far as size, abilities and stats, to Morris.

From the Seattle Times:
ReplyDeleteScobey, wearing jersey No. 39, fumbled twice during team drills. But the 6-foot, 220-pound speedster is with the Seahawks for more than just a reserve running back role, if he can make the final roster.
"We're going to give him every chance to be our kickoff-return guy," coach Mike Holmgren said.
