Well, we were wrong about that one. We thought injuries at linebacker would force the Seahawks to keep Aaron Curry, but they decided to trade him anyway. Wonder how much his poor game Sunday in New York had to do with that. The Seahawks got a little more than we thought they might, considering their [...]

If the Seahawks didn’t have so many injury issues at linebacker, it would be natural to ask whether they might have more business with the New York Giants this weekend than just a football game. Like maybe trading Aaron Curry for Osi Umenyiora. Before Matt McCoy was lost for the season (interestingly enough, on a [...]

While demoting Aaron Curry seems borderline crazy, it’s pretty clear why the Seahawks are doing it: He’s not made to play strongside linebacker in their Tampa 2 defense and the coaching staff is not going to move him to the middle or change to a 3-4 scheme to use him properly. All that means is [...]

Where have the linebackers gone?
28 Oct 2010Through the first six games of Pete Carroll’s first season, we’ve seen the impact he has had on the Seahawks’ defense. We’ve seen new end Chris Clemons sack opposing quarterbacks 5.5 times. We’ve seen rookie safety Earl Thomas intercept four passes. We’ve seen 36-year-old safety lawyer Milloy lead the team in tackles, including three sacks. [...]

Heading into the draft in April, Aaron Curry was considered by many to be the surest pick of all — the no-brainer, all-around-nice-guy, do-everything linebacker who could help anchor a team’s defense for a decade. And when the Seahawks were able to get him with the fourth pick, they had to feel very fortunate. Of course, [...]
What we know after one week of Seahawks training camp
In: seahawks
7 Aug 2009The biggest concerns entering Jim Mora’s first training camp in Seattle, as indicated by Mora himself in a KJR radio interview, were the return to health of several key players, the assimilation of the players into the new offensive and defensive schemes and the offensive line puzzle, which will be significant in fixing what became [...]
It’s not surprising that linebacker Aaron Curry, the Seahawks’ top pick, is a holdout. This is exactly the situation we projected two months ago, right after the New York Jets signed quarterback Mark Sanchez. And it’s looking like the Hawks are going to have to guarantee Curry $30 million, as we said then. The crux [...]
$30 million for Aaron Curry?
13 Jun 2009Based on recent increases in top-five money and the deal quarterback Mark Sanchez just signed, the Seahawks might end up guaranteeing linebacker Aaron Curry about $30 million in his rookie contract. Earlier this week, the New York Jets guaranteed $28 million to Sanchez, the fifth overall pick in the draft, and the immediate question in [...]
Tim Ruskell gave a little hint of which way he planned to go when he said this week that the Seahawks wanted to draft someone who could contribute right away. It couldn’t have worked any better as the Kansas City Chiefs picked defensive end Tyson Jackson with the third pick, leaving the Seahawks with the [...]
