Is the rookie kicker any good in the rain? 85 degree weather isn't happening in Seattle in November.

Jordan Kent should be on the team, he gets a lot of seperation. Bumpus runs crisp routes and isnt afraid to get the ball. They should be on before Taylor. Duckett is a waste of money, Ruskell will only keep him because he's a former Falcons player. If you're a former Falcon or Buc - in Ruskell's mind, you're great.

what i think separates Kent from the rest of the bubble guys like bumpus or gilmore is his length
Kent could be productive in short yardage situations because he can provide a safety option because of his size
this could also be useful in long jump balls because he can get above the smaller, faster corners that we see all over the nfl.
We will have two solid true slot receivers once engrham and branch are back thats why i think bumpus wont make it past week 5 even if he does make the initial 53

Hodges didn't impress me with two blocked punts in Saturday's game.

Maybe the Seahawks coaching staff can spray Coutu with a water hose in practice to simulate the "cold November rain" conditions Josh Brownsauce is speculating about.

Speaking of Josh Brown, he missed his only field goal attempt in his first appearance in St. Louis.

call me crazy but I don't see great value in keeping TJ Duckett over keeping an additional receiver. He is a big back that runs much smaller than he is... I think we have the backs to fill his role and need the depth at receiver much more than a journeyman rb who offers minimal upside. your thoughts?

Kirtman should stay, Schmidt on practice squad for further study......

I was watching the Seahawk replay game Sunday and couldn't believe it....they lost, missed the stinking field goal in overtime, what a difference a day makes?

Danny - any chance the Hawks could get what they need in short yardage from a combination of Schmitt and Weaver? It just seems like Duckett is only good for one thing - short yardage. It's not like he's going in to be the feature back, what with Jones, Morris and Forsett all ahead of him in my mind. The only reason I can see him making the team is because we gave him too big of a contract this offseason. What are your thoughts?

Big things come in small packages. Proof-Forsett
To games to go drop the muscle between the ears and think like bussinessmen.

Coutu might get a chance this week in practice to show what he can do in the rain. It is supposed to be ugly all week.

Finally got to see the Forsett highlights...One word: Amazing. Haven't seen a Seahawk RB run right through a defense like that since 05' Shaun.

Kent has shown too much; he wouldn't clear waivers if we tried to send him to the practice squad; he will make the squad.

Forsett would likely clear waivers and make the practice squad, but he's the lightning in a bottle that the offense needs. I like him over Kirtman and even Duckett any day. Duckett was a poor signing.

Hawthorne looked great at MLB. I was really surprised by his play; she should make the squad as well.

No way Forsett clears waivers now. Even if he makes it to the Practice Squad another team can pluck him off of it at anytime and place him on their 53 man roster....players are not protected there.

I also agree with you on Kent. Kent stays, and I know Holmgren likes Bumpus alot, so he may stick or go to the practice squad. I don't see them cutting Obomanu lose though, he knows the offense and did what was asked of him last year when he played.

I also like Hawthorne.

I think Holmgren and the front office has some very tough calls to make. I wonder if some of these bubble players, who may be starters or key role-players on someless talented teams, that may no clear waivers, could be traded for a draft pick in lower rounds.

Duckett needs to go. There are too many good younger players that will benefit the team.

Duckett must go, as should Mare, i watched him suck in the dome in NO. And he has no leg for fg outside of 40 yards, Please keep Coutu..

I have followed Dalton Bell since the beginning of his college career. I hope the coaches let him play this Saturday. He could be a good back up quarterback if a team will give him a chance to play.

He has a great arm and after what I saw of Charlie Frye throwing 3 interceptions I think Dalton should be given a chance.
His former coach in college now with the Dallas Cowboys wanted to pick him up off waivers from GB but Seattle beat them to it. He knows how Dalton can play. Last year Carolina let him play a total of one and a half quarters in preseason during the last game against the Patriots. HE went 9 for 17 for 119 yards.

Is there a reason Duckett needs to be kept for short yardage situations? I don't see why Leonard Weaver couldn't handle those duties. He ran the ball very well last year. Schmitt might even be able to do it. Duckett has just looked terible. How much do the Seahawks still have to pay Duckett if they release him?
