Can the Rams blow their pick yet again?

This was the first year I missed the draft in quite awhile (working). Did the Seahawks pick anyone decent?

Wonder how Carroll is going to do in his first season as coach?

ex-Seattlite is curious.

They did pretty good. In the 1st they grabbed a beast OT, a beast of a Safety, then in the 2nd a fantastic WR who should fit well opposite T.J. They also nabbed a potentially good CB, ptentially good DE in round four, a hard hitting SS in round five(who fell into their laps), and a solid TE in round 6.

I'd say they did very good, two more weapons to throw to, an improved O.L., and the safety positions are quite solid now.

Don't forget the other deals they did. They acquired Lendale White from the Titans and Leon Washington from the Jets, both capable runningbacks that will make a good tandem in the Seahawks system. Not a bad start for Carroll and Co.

Yeah I forgot about those. Carroll is starting off on the right foot and doing some good stuff. IMO all they really NEED is a QB next offseason.

On paper the Seahawks did well but, as with all drafts, the proof is in the play.

Nah, i'll still be laughing at the guy who couldn't break .500 in COLLEGE and got beat down by weak teams consistently. I'm sure he'll continue the tradition in the NFL and prove he's another Brady Quiff.

They didn't lose those game last year because of him. He constantly brought the team back in the 4th quarter and the defense would blow it.

You must be a Notre Dame fan. Brought them back? The kids "comebacks" were always in garbage time against Prevent D's. It is what it is, the guy played worse then Brady "Career backup" Quinn did at N.D. with superior talent against some pretty bad opponents. I mean, when you can't even outperform Quinn in the same program with better talent.... Yeah, that's pretty bad.

The Rams unloaded Alex (False Start) Barron yesterday.

Y'all need to release Steven Jackson and Sam Bradford! You don't need those types on your team, i'll trade ya a 2nd rounder for both, though.

Dude, you lost aal cred with this post. Look at these scores:

September 5	Nevada	W 35-0	1-0
September 12	at Michigan	L 38-34	1-1
September 19	Michigan State	W 33-30	2-1
September 26	at Purdue	W 24-21	3-1
October 3	Washington	W 37-30	4-1
October 17	No. 6 USC	L 34-27	4-2
October 24	Boston College	W 20-16	5-2
October 31	Washington State	W 40-14	6-2
November 7	Navy	L 23-21	6-3
November 14	at No. 12 Pittsburgh	L 27-22	6-4
November 21	Connecticut	L 33-30	6-5
November 28	at Stanford	L 45-38	6-6

Yeah, lots of garbage time with those scores. How can you have garbage time with such close scores?

once again, he would always bring them back and that lackluster defense would blow it.

you obviously have no clue what you speak of.

Whatever you say skippy. You're assuming credibility with you means something, it doesn't.

Yeah, i'm looking, he lost to some mediocre teams, USC, and Pitt. So let's see here...

@USC: Entering the fourth USC leads 27-14. In under a minute they make it a 34-14 deficit. Sorry, that isn't close. It isn't anywhere near close. They weren't worried and went prevent D. I'm sorry you don't like that, but it is a fact. Great, he scored 14 points. As for Notre Dames defense, they seemed to fare pretty well during that 4th quarter LOL, "comeback" holding USC to their one T.D. to open the quarter. In other words, USC didn't score after Pickles two garbage time TD's.

Navy@: Entering the fourth Navy leads 21-7. Yet again, not close. Halfway through the 4th Navy still leads... 21-7. They eased up and went? Anyone? Prevent defense. Pickle proceeds to score 14 points.

@Pitt: Entering the fourth, what was Pittsburgh doing? Wait, oh that's right, leading 20-3, opening the opportunity to? Give Pickle two TD's. As ND's defense held Pitt to one fourth quarter TD. Then Tate returned a long punt return for a TD. See, it was this point Pitt returned to actually playing, which is why Notre Dame didn't score smurf poo after Tates PR.

Conn@: Now you're right, this one was close. Which is sad, it's Connecticut. But let's not rewrite history here, Clausen didn't do anything from between the start of the 2nd quarter into overtime. The kicker kept it close. Which going strictly off of logic, we're supposed to believe he could barely score against CT, yet somehow managed amazing 4th quarter "almost" comebacks against USC and Pitt? No dice.

Stanford@: I'll give ya this one. You can have it. N.D. and Pickle kept the game close the entire game.... Against freakin' Stanford.

What a comeback kid, no really.

It's pretty simple. Unfortunately going on ESPN and doing a cut/paste job with the scores don't play a factor. You see, when a team enters the fourth quarter up 20+ points? They start playing soft defenses. They start resting their starters for plays.

Yet had you clicked on those scores instead of just cut/pasting them, or actually watched the games for that matter, the bulk of the opposing teams points didn't come in the fourth quarter. So what i'm saying is you're incorrect. Again. Go look for yourself. In those losses the opposing teams weren't running all over ND's defense in 4th quarter shootouts driving up the score. It didn't happen.

I'll admit that is funny coming from you, considering your absolute cluelessness when it comes to football aside from cheerleading for a quarterback overhyped by Mel Kiper. You may want to actually know what the hell you're talking about the next time you scribe an angry insulting post towards me.
