Practice Today

Written by Steve Middleton

Monday, 26 October 2009 12:39

We will have more updates today as practice resumed without any added injuries. All of the questions I asked earlier: Will Walter Jones be practicing? Will Locklear be back? What about Sims? Is McIntosh looking good during practice if Jones and Locklear are not practicing? Those questions are still looming. Mora made it sound like McIntosh will be playing LT and Jones may be headed to the IR and in my opinion retirement.

We will have to wait again for those answers to come later this week. Stay tuned for more details from Renton as they come.

{Update: Sims was limited in practice today but did practice and is looking "probable" to play at this point on Sunday. Trufant practiced and was limited but Mora said a final roster spot needs to be determined by Saturday and they will make that choice whether Trufant is ready by then. Hill did not have any limitations in practice and it appears he will be ready to play Sunday}

That does not sound good about Walt. I was kinda hoping that he would come back this season. Would hate to see him end his career like this. There must've been something that prevented the FO from putting him on IR up 'til now. Still holding out hope that he will play with the Hawks this year.

Lock's injury seems to be a nagging one. If MacIntosh plays this Sunday, we'd better have some blocking schemes with the running backs to help cover Matt's blind side.

Man, this injury bug is a real pain. Come on Hawks.

Lets get 'er done!!!

On an entirely different note. . . I feel sorry for Jim Zorn. He looks like a shell of the man he used to be. He needs to return to Seattle this season and work with Matt again.

Ruskell Discussion on KJR

Did anyone happen to catch the TR breakdown on KJR this morning? I only heard the first few minutes but I would love to get summary if someone heard the whole thing.

Jim Zorn

The mistakes that the team made cannot be blamed on Zorn. Jason Campbell is not an NFL QB. Zorn deserves better than what he is getting in Washington. Would love to see him back in Seattle working with Matt's replacement. I'm sure Teel could use that kind of coaching and mentorship.

Hawkdude,
A "nagging" injury is one that keeps getting re injured...Lock is just healing VERY slowly...
On the other hand, I agree completely with you about Zorn, but seatown is right, he looks like a shell of the man he once was...remember, he went there to interview for the OC job, and they handed him the HC job...methinks they were looking for a fall guy...

Tru is probably going to take Walt spot and Big Walt will retire. I would like to know if and when Locklear is up and going though.

If Holmgren takes the GM job, would he insist on Zorn coming back as QB coach or maybe even OC? I think Mora should last past this year but who knows what will happen if and when Ruskell is gone.

I would be shocked if Walter plays another game. He deserves to make the call of course, he is the best LT in the game ever. And at this stage putting him on IR just allows for one more 5th string/garbage OL to get signed.

I hate you Ruskell. We are always in street player mode at some position (CB, WR, OL). You have to take the blame for this continuous result, this is too much. Take any remaining of your washed up TB and Atlanta guys with you on the way out.

Does anyone really think that Allen will let Ruskell go and bring in Holgrem to be the GM.

McIntosh

Hopefully McIntosh can be adequate at LT, because the last two starters were far from that. That is not to disparage either of them, because they both tried hard. With the likes of DeMarcus Ware and others in the league, it takes almost an elite athlete just to be an adequate LT.

The O-Line must play together consistently for more than one season to become a solid unit. The Hawks O-Line has not, and we're seeing the consequence of that lack of time.
