Hunt isnt a LEO, and thats the spot you want to address right?

You want to take another DE for the second year in a row? I think that means you give up on Irvin at LEO

Umm not at all. We need a everydown DE like what Clemons was. We know Irvin isn't a everydown player. Drafting another DE isn't giving up on one player. I said I don't think Clemons is gonna come back until mid-season and I highly doubt he plays even close to what he has been the past couple seasons. We are gonna need to replace him soon.

Here are some notes on

what about reggie bush?

leon washington is getting old and has been an important part of the team, maybe he can have a brian mitchell-type career but bush could be a good replacement. he might not get enough carries to want to come to SEA but as a return man and maybe getting some plays out of the slot he'd be dynamic. ive always been mesmerized by bush's ability in space, and hes still got it.

Wet dream. Leon has been great on special teams, but has been a zero as a back. I think Pete would love to add a weapon like Bush, but it also doesn't sound like them to pay for veteran free agent.

We need LB, DE is barely above CB on list of needs. DE is covered till Irvin becomes every down or Clemons comes back, which ever happens first which honestly might be Irvin. WR, LB, T, G, DT are all ahead for DE.

Now that's a DE that would actually make sense due to his versatility. He could potentially play 3rd down DE (Irvin '12, Brock '11) as well as pass rushing 3 tech (Jones) which would give them options with potential looks, roster building, and some insurance on his development (2 chances to be really good at something). He'd be a special teams nightmare too.

A strictly DE type player doesn't make sense because there just isn't room for that type of player to be on the field much and you'd be looking for an instant impact with Clem possibly missing time, which you rarely get from rookie DE's.

How does that make sense?

I really like Hunt. Like you said he can move down to 3 tech if needed. He's a freak athlete. My only problem is the age. This is the guy I really want. What about Okafor? If he's available you would pass on him?

It makes sense because the Seahawks have two starting DE's locked up for the next two years plus. They need pass rushers that they can put on the field with those guys, not somebody who either displaces one of them or sits behind them. So yes, I'd pass on Okafor in the first for sure.

One plus in regards to Hunt's age is that while he is 26, he's only played 3 years of football. His body hasn't taken years of abuse...

My bad I misread that.

Couldn't bring myself to cheer for the Niners.. call me a hater, but I'm glad they lost the big one.

[House]

Same here man...

[pennybank]

Same here man...

This, I hate the niners with all of my being

[drew_ellis_23]

Same here. I was getting pissed when they came back. NFL tried to "ice" the Ravens with that blackout. Glad Joey Flacc got the W.

[baller101200]

**** the 49ers. Them losing that game was almost as awesome as a Seattle win.
