Clayton: Locklear Being Shopped

but i just seen russell okung at the mall!!! he had a very very slight limp to his walk...but it was kinda sad because nobody recognized him except a few people

Are Jones and Bab's really gone? I have not been able to find that confirmed anywhere.

Locklear wasn't worth poop for the last few years; good riddance.

Ruskell brought this team to the brink of obscurity. The only time we have seen the Seahawks on any highlight films lately is when the other team is scoring a TD, making an interception or a sack, or catching a long pass down field. A major overhaul is in order.

I think Carroll does have a vision of what the Seahawks should be, and he's moving the team in that direction. The guys that he has been getting rid of do not fit into that vision. It doesn't mean that some of them are not good players, it just means that they don't fit into Carroll's vision.

I predict the Seahawks will be drafting at or near the bottom of the first round in a few short years.

One more loser being shown the door!

so what would the market value be for locklear. 6th or 7th round.

I also couldn't find anything that said JJONES is gone! Is it possible he is still on the team?

Can somebody please post a link?

sluggo
schefter reported it but I have not seen anything that truly confirmed it.

so far I thought we were at 52 yesterday and if everything is accurately reported we have dropped 2 more than we have gained.
am I wrong or are we currently at50 or51 players

What is the story on Vincent Jackson and the unnamed team.I hope it wasnt the Hawks because the deal is dead.Does anyone know what team they were talking about.

So many people want to throw PC under the bus before the season even truely starts. Dont get me wrong, I really hope he realizes what he is doing to the O line continuity, but I still have faith in him and his system. We one 9 games in two years. it is time to shake things up!

everyone is calling for them to release locklear one day and now they think it is horrible for trying to trade him. we just picked up Andrews who will likely take the left side until okung comes back. also if we do in fact get rid of him we probably have someone else that can take care by the opinion of carrol and schnider the right side. if we can get something for him we should cuz its better than hearing people complain after week one that we didn't get rid of him.

Jones, Babs, Locklear these are the guys EVERYONE said to get rid of. It's not like Locklear was blocking anybody anyway. Show him the door.

O line continuity? We had crap! When they saw better players become available,they grabbed them just like they always said they would do. Great job GO Hawks

Long term I kind of like the line of Okung-Pitts-Spencer-Under-Andrews. But for week one against a good defense like the 49ers rolling out Andrews-Hamilton-Spencer-Unger-Polumbus with only 1 week of practice. Good frickin Lord. If I was Hass I would call in sick. I wouldn't expect more than 150 total yds on Sunday. It is going to be U-G-L-Y

Well, I can't say that I am disappointed with these moves. Locklear has looked brutal for a couple of years now and none of us wanted Jones to be in our backfield. Babs will always have a place in my heart because of how he stopped Romo from making it into the end zone on that muffed snap/hold during the playoffs of ... well a long time ago. Babs never materialized into someone that we could count on, so his departure isn't such a big deal.

We will look very different this season - I like it. The one thing that did concern me was Gibbs quiting at such an inopportune time. But we picked up a new O-line coach and we move on. I'm gonna blindly believe that he left for health reasons, but who really cares, he left - and I wish him well. He was quite old anyways.

The 9ers will not face a strong Hawks' team as we will be scrambling to get an O-line together. My hope is that they game plan well enough to protect Hass. If we go 6-10 this year, I would be pleased - at least it is one more win than what Mora was able to squeeze out. Okung - Pitts - Spencer - Unger - Andrews looks good to me. This could be a formidable front until we replace Pitts next year with Hudson and Andrews with someone else that we can find in the draft.

Whitehurst is not the long term solution at QB - I think we all know that. Perhaps Locker is, or some other high profile QB that comes out next year. We will have a much improved team in a year's time.

Go Hawks.

Sunday is why Gibbs left on Saturday.

Jake's performance against BYU was really bad. If he continue with that kind of performance, we will be able to pick him in 2nd or 3rd round.

We can be sure Matt is not liking all the line changes for week 1 and I'm not betting the farm on the Hawks.I WAS hopeful for a win. the thing I really hate -- The guy sitting next to me Sunday is a 49er fan.All I can do is yell louder and hope for like 15 offside flags.

I don't get this "breaking up the continuity of our OL" argument. What continuity? Do you mean the 2 game continuity of Wrotto-Gibson-Spencer-Unger-Locklear? Because we all know that it meant nothing once Okung gets healthy.

Our line just got a great deal better even though I don't like the release of Wrotto. I'll take Okung-Hamilton/Pitts-Spencer-Unger-Andrews all day over what we had and to be completly honest, I say we shop Spencer too and put Unger at C where he belongs. It's not too far fetched with PC and JS openly wanting stating that they want to play their young guys. I'd love to see Okung-Hamilton-Unger-Pitts-Andrews. That's an above average OL with Hamilton to mentor Okung. My only concern would be Unger, but having two vet OG's next to him is exactly the environment he needs to learn the line calls and master the position. Where do I sign up for that one?

I agree with cts, continuity is overrated in this case. Locklear was another guy who was getting more money than he was worth, so it's beyond time to unload him. (I was more shocked that we released Wrotto than I am to hear Locklear is getting shopped.) Continuity is vital for a cohesive O-line, but you gotta start with the right guys in place. Having continuity with the wrong guys in place does us (and the QB) no good at all. And it's not like we're heavily invested in a continuous O-line right now anyway, so there's no continuity to lose.

Just some food for thought, but does anyone think it's possible that we are slowly making a switch to a 3-4 D?

Think about it, we have the LB's. Hawthorne and Tatupu work well in the middle with Curry and Herring/Hill on the outside. We cut Haggler who doesn't translate well and Davis is coming along nicely.

We cut Vickerson and signed Junior Siavii who is a nose tackle. Cole could play NT, Bryant is probably more suitable as a 3-4 DE, we got rid of Jackson and signed Balmer and Mebane could play a 3-4 DE. Nick Reed could hav gone on the PUP list, but instead we just gave him the axe. Why? We have the pieces, the only question mark I have is Clemons and if he could fit or not.

Just some more fodder for the boys to mull over.

don't get the Vickerson over Craig T. move. I thought Vickerson gave the DL that big, nasty, SOB attitude that it has been lacking for far too long.
Been there and done that as far as Craig T. is concerned.

All the other moves seem OK to me. Needed to clean house. I think it will help over the long term but 2010 is going to be rough. I am look at this year as a really long exhibition season.

Would really like to see a splash tomorrow (new RB, DE or WR) with some firepower but I'm not holding my breath.

Continuity is NEVER overrated on an O line. However, CTS is correct that we haven’t had it all season. Unless you count the OTA and the beginning of preseason. Since then the only ones that have been there are Spence, Unger and Lock. Unfortunately Lock hasn't been playing up to his ability since we switched over to the zone blocking or he got hurt. Take your pick... I do like the lineup of Okung-Hamilton-Unger-Pitts-Andrews but the question is. How much longer is Hamilton going to be around. Or his he going to cut chalks like Gibbs did??? With that line up maybe we can get Carlson out there to catch instead of stay in a block the whole time.

I haven't posted in a few months. Still check the website everyday. I head is spinning with all these moves. I was wondering what our depth chart will look like?

QB Matt, Jesus
RB Forsett, Washington
FB Ganther
WR Williams Branch Butler Tate OBO

LT Andrews until Okung
LG ?
C Spencer
RG Unger
RT ?

Here is my guesses for the startig line up

LG ? Hamilton

RT ? Lock(depending if he stays) or Polumbus

DE Clemmons Bryant Balmer, Davis
DT Mebayne Cole, Siavii

OLB Hawthorn Curry Hill, and Herring

MLB Lofa, Hawthorn can play middle also

CB Trufant Jennings Thurmand , and lewis

FS Thomas - No one on the roster is listed to play - He better not get hurt

SS Milloy, Chanslor

KR Washington Tate? Parks
PR Washington Tate? OBO

I think that was all your questions hawksnest

I think I've figured out PC's master plan. If we change players and coaches every week our opponents won't know what to game plan for!

winston Churchhill has a great quote. "Keeping Choas constant doesn't allow one to gauge for Success." (It goes some thing like that) I use this quote all the time at work. because we are always re-organizing. any ways I think that this fits the FO right now. I can't even tell you who is going to start right now let alone who is going to be depth. I am hoping to let the dust settle in a few weeks before I make any judgements. Holy Cow that is a lot of roster moves!

With the line the Hawks have had the past couple years, I think the LAST thing I want to see is "continuity". They are in a groove of playing poorly and that's gotta stop.

In the background of all of this I hear Metallica's Creeping Death

Any news on the PS roster? I'm hoping Byers clears waivers.

The only continuity the Hawks O-line has had has been the "continuity of sucking together". I am glad to see this roster turned over, that's what it's going to take to rebuild this team after what we have seen our Hawks turned into. Anyone who put their hopes in this year were simply wishful thinking, this is going to take a couple of years to accomplish. Why oh why does anyone want anything left from the crap team we have been pulling for over the last 2 years?

Great job this weekend folks!

Everyone knows we had a bad team the last two years. Finding the best players available is a lot faster than waiting for the draft.

Pete and John are working their butts off to improve our team as soon as possible. There is no guarantee that the guys they bring in will play out. If they don't, guess what, they're gone and bring in someone else. The message to the players is simple, how bad do you want this job?

Not very lovey dovey, it's football.
