znModeratorEarl Thomas unsure he’ll be ready for Week One
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co…arl-thomas-unsure-hell-be-ready-for-week-one/
After Seahawks safety Earl Thomas had surgery to repair a torn labrum in his shoulder in February, word was that there was “no doubt” he’d be ready to play when the Seahawks open the regular season.
The lack of doubt was a bit surprising given the six-to-eight month timeline given for a full recovery from the surgery and it seems that the passage of time has allowed some doubt to creep into Thomas’s head. Thomas told Ed Werder of ESPN reports that while he is making steady progress in his rehab from the surgery, he’s not expecting to be cleared for the early portion of training camp and that he’s uncertain about his status for the season opener against the Rams in St. Louis.
“I’m unsure about everything at this point,” Thomas said. “I will find out more when I get back to Seattle on [July] 30th when I take my physical.”
That’s obviously not ideal for the Seahawks given Thomas’s importance to the team’s defense, but it would be far worse to rush in hopes of getting back for Week One if taking a more patient approach makes it likelier that Thomas will be 100 percent for a greater number of games.
With almost two months to go before the Seahawks take the field for the first time in the 2015 season, there’s plenty of time for Thomas’s status to become more certain and it will surely be something they’re watching closely in Seattle.

The best defense in football has some concerns as training camp approaches. In addition to negotiating a contract with Bobby Wagner, the Seahawks face questions about when Earl Thomas — the best safety in the league — will be able to return to the field following the shoulder surgery he endured after the Super Bowl.Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas played through injuries in the Super Bowl and are still working their way back to health. Matthew Emmons/USA TODAY Sports
Thomas told ESPN he has come a long way in his recovery but knows he won’t be ready for training camp and admits even the first week of the regular season is a question mark.Thomas has been engaged in a rehab program he describes as mentally challenging and told ESPN that the Super Bowl was the first time he ever felt physically limited by an injury.
“I’m unsure about everything at this point,” he said. “I will find out more when I get back to Seattle on [July] 30th when I take my physical.”
Cornerback Richard Sherman played with a serious elbow injury in the Super Bowl but avoided surgery. He has been medically cleared but has some anxiety as well, telling ESPN, “Obviously haven’t had to stop anyone or be violent, so we will see how it handles in training camp.”
July 24, 2015 at 10:05 am #27518znModeratorRams could catch a break in Week 1
Nick Wagoner
http://espn.go.com/blog/st-louis-rams/post/_/id/19674/rams-could-catch-a-break-in-week-1
EARTH CITY, Mo. — When the NFL released the regular-season schedule in late April, it appeared that no favors were done for the St. Louis Rams. Indeed, the first five games feature contests against four teams that won at least 11 games in 2014.
That’s tied for the second-toughest slate of any team in the first five weeks. Of course, it all starts in Week 1 when the Rams host the two-time defending NFC champion Seattle Seahawks. Given the Seahawks’ success in recent years, there might never be an ideal time to play them, but ESPN’s Ed Werder offered a report Thursday that might provide some helpful news for the Rams.
According to Werder, Seattle safety Earl Thomas is unsure if he’ll be available for the Week 1 tilt in St. Louis as he recovers from February shoulder surgery. While cornerback Richard Sherman was able to avoid having elbow surgery in the offseason, he too told Werder that he has some anxiety about how his elbow will hold up when he has to start tackling again.
Clearly, nobody wants any of these guys to be hurt and the Rams have proved a handful for the Seahawks even with Thomas and Sherman in place, but any advantage St. Louis could get, especially to get off to a fast start, would likely be welcome.

Report: Kam Chancellor wants more money, threatens holdout
Michael David Smith
Seattle safety Kam Chancellor may not be there when the Seahawks report to training camp.
Chancellor wants more money and has told the Seahawks he is strongly considering a holdout, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The 27-year-old Chancellor still has three seasons remaining on the contract he signed in 2013 and is scheduled to count $5.65 million against the Seahawks’ salary cap this year, so he wouldn’t appear at first blush to have a lot of leverage.
But he’s an important part of the league’s best defense, and he becomes even more important with the Seahawks’ secondary depleted by the shoulder injury suffered by Earl Thomas in the Super Bowl, an injury that may keep Thomas out at the start of the regular season. And the Seahawks showed last year with Marshawn Lynch that they’re willing to re-do a player’s deal if that’s what they need to do to get that player in camp.
So Chancellor might have a shot at a raise if he plays his cards right. And if he holds out for a significant period of time, the Seahawks will be scrambling at safety.

Polian: Seahawks have opened a Pandora’s box with Lynch. Ironically, this statement came out of a discussion about Luck’s contract. He said that when he was GM they wouldn’t negotiate a contract until the current one runs out (The Colts are continuing that policy).
He then brought up the fact that the Seahawks renegotiated Lynch’s contract a year before it ran out, and now Cam Chancellor (3 yrs left on an extension) and Michael Bennett (2 yrs) are asking for new contracts. To support his theory, NFLN is reporting that Cam is “considering holding out of training camp”, which starts tomorrow.
When another NFL Insider pointed out that Lynch is the lynchpin (no pun intended) of their offense and was threatening to retire, Polian responded with a resounding “I DON’T CARE!” He said that Chancellor is very popular in the locker room and is one of (Earl Bennet) the catalysts of the defense, which is where they have been putting all their cap $$$ due to Wilson’s low cap hit. He reiterated that even the great Peyton Manning played out his contract before renegotiating under his regime.
My take: Chancellor & Bennett are both trying to cash in B4 the Hawks sign Wilson. After that, Hawks can shrug their shoulders and say: “We just don’t have the cap space to negotiate, never mind renegotiate.”
All the Insiders agreed that once Wilson is paid what he is due, Seattle is going to have a lot of trouble keeping their back to back SB team.

NFC Divisional Playoffs – Carolina Panthers v Seattle SeahawksGetty Images
The Legion of Boom could be a bust, at least for now.With safety Earl Thomas likely headed for the PUP list and cornerback Richard Sherman still a bit of a question mark after not having surgery on an elbow he dislocated in the NFC title game, safety Kam Chancellor has opted not to show up for the start of camp, due to dissatisfaction with his contract.
Per multiple reports, Chancellor officially will be holding out.
He’ll be subject to a fines of $30,000 per day for each day missed as he tried to get the Seahawks to enhance a contract that runs through 2017. He’s due to make $4.55 million in 2015.
Chancellor is the lone no-show, which means that defensive end Michael Bennett has opted to report, despite dissatisfaction with a contract of his own that runs through 2017. And quarterback Russell Wilson is present and accounted for; a holdout for him was never a possibility, even though as of this posting he doesn’t have a new contract.
August 13, 2015 at 12:40 am #28612znModeratorIs Chancellor’s holdout selfish, smart, or both?
Mike Florio
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/08/12/is-chancellors-holdout-selfish-smart-or-both/
It took three day, but it finally happened. Rodney Harrison and yours truly had a somewhat sharp disagreement during NBCSN’s Pro Football Talk.
The debate was sparked by a conversation regarding the status of Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor, whose holdout has become an afterthought amid the litigators and jawbreakers who have dominated training camp.
Is Chancellor being selfish or is he making a smart business decision? Rodney says the former, I say the latter.
And then it occurred to me after the dust settled: Maybe it’s both.
But that would have meant room for a potential agreement between Rodney and me. It’s more fun when we don’t agree.
For more potential agreements and disagreements and agreements to disagree, tune in weekdays at 6:00 p.m. ET.
Until then, watch the clip and learn something that you possibly didn’t already know.

August 19, 2015 at 2:08 pm #28944wvParticipantEarl Thomas Video.
“I was debating whether I loved (football).”
http://www.seattletimes.com/sports/seahawks/video-earl-thomas-talks-about-return-to-the-field/Seattle safety Earl Thomas returned to practice Tuesday for the first time since prior to the Super Bowl.
Thomas had surgery in February to repair a torn labrum in his shoulder and has been rehabbing since then.
He was taken off the PUP earlier during camp so he could participate in walk-throughs. Today was his first time to put on pads (the team was in helmets and shoulder pads and shorts/sweats) and out on the field.
Thomas participated only in individual drills and did take part in the final 11-on-11 sessions. But he did some positional work (catching passes during interception drills) and some other stuff, and simply putting the pads on and getting back on the field was a step in the right direction for Thomas as he hopes to get back in time for the season opener at St. Louis Sept.13.
Asked if he thought he’d be ready for the Rams’ game, Thomas said “I’m not sure. Just happy that they have taken the handcuffs off of me and let me kind of do my job. That’s all I can control right now.”Later, though, Thomas sounded as if he expects to be full go soon. Asked what he’d need to see out of himself to be ready for the St. Louis game, Thomas said “to me I think I’ve seen all I need to see today. I was flying around. We’ll see.”
You can watch Thomas’ interview above as he also talked about the difficulty of sitting out while his teammates practiced, what he’s said recently to Kam Chancellor, and more.
As for a few other quick notes from practice:
— Richard Sherman was back in pads today, but like Thomas did not take part in 11-on-11 sessions as he continues to rest a hip flexor injury.
—The offensive lines remained the same as they did on Monday when the team moved Justin Britt from right tackle to left guard, promoted Garry Gilliam from second team let tackle to first team right tackle, and demoted Alvin Bailey to second team left tackle. So expect the lines to play in those alignments Friday at Kansas City.
— CB Will Blackmon remains out with a groin issue which could mean another start at nickel for rookie Tye Smith, with Marcus Burley potentially filling in for Sherman if he gets another week to rest.
—Frank Clark sat out with a sore ankle. Among others who remained out were: QB Tarvaris Jackson, WR Chris Matthews, WR Paul Richardson, CB Douglas McNeil, S Ryan Murphy, CB Mohammed Seisay, CB Jeremy Lane, LB Quayshan Nealy, OT Jesse Davis, TE Cooper Helfet, DL David King. DT Jesse Williams, who sat out Monday, was back in pads, and LBs Kevin Pierre-Louis and Brock Coyle, who sat out the game against Denver, worked fully during team drills. Also back today was DE Obum Gwacham, who has been out a while with an elbow injury.
We’ll have our daily impressions and some more stuff later.

Seattle opens against the Rams and the Rams DL in St. Louis with an unsettled OL.
The final score in this game could be 2-0.

Kam Chancellor – DB – Seahawks
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Seahawks SS Kam Chancellor is prepared to extend his holdout into the regular season.
Per Schefter, Chancellor is “not close to budging.” Coach Pete Carroll says the sides have maintained an open dialogue, but Chancellor isn’t buying whatever the Seahawks are selling. With FS Earl Thomas still rehabbing his shoulder injury, Chancellor isn’t entirely without leverage, but he’s unlikely to earn anything other than a ceremonial raise or token guarantee.
August 21, 2015 at 10:33 am #29049znModeratorSeattle Seahawks Training Camp Report
Peter King
http://mmqb.si.com/mmqb/2015/08/08/nfl-training-camp-tour-blog-week-2
Site: Renton, Wash.
What I Saw: Morning practice, Monday, Aug. 17. Sunny, 76 degrees. A postcard day on the shores of Lake Washington. If I’ve ever been to a more perfect day for an NFL training camp practice in 32 years covering the game, I certainly don’t recall it.
Three things you need to know about the Seahawks:
1. The secondary looks downright bizarre. When the first nickel defense took the field this morning, here’s who it was: rookie fifth-round pick Tye Smith at left corner, veteran free agent Cary Williams (Ravens, Eagles) at right corner, ex-Colt Marcus Burley at slot corner, undrafted 2014 free-agent Dion Bailey at free safety, undrafted 2015 rookie free-agent Ronald Martin Jr., at strong safety. The entire secondary’s a double take this summer.
Richard Sherman should be back at left corner in a day or two—his hip flexor’s sore—but who know when strong safety Kam Chancellor (holding out with three years left on his contract) comes back, and it’s likely but not certain that free safety Earl Thomas (shoulder labrum surgery) will be back for the opener. It’s a weird dynamic here in the secondary. Maybe three-quarters will be back for the opener in St. Louis in less than four weeks, but you hate to hear two guys from such a great position group entering the season a little ouchy.
[IMG]
Jimmy Graham gives Russell Wilson the power-forward target he’s never had. (Photo: John DePetro/The MMQB)2. Jimmy Graham gives Russell Wilson the power-forward target he’s never had. In practice this morning, Graham leaped high above a safety—didn’t catch his number—and finger-tipped a catch a good 10 feet off the ground. He looked like a forward snaring an alley-oop pass for a basketball dunk. Graham’s also working to disprove the worries of him as a blocker. When I watched him with the tight ends in blocking drills, he worked harder there than he did in receiving drills.
3. You could easily make the argument than Tom Cable is the most important assistant coach in the NFL this year. “I can see your point,” Pete Carroll told me this afternoon. In a little more than two weeks of training camp, the Seahawks have had five starting left guards—today it was converted tackle Justin Britt—while struggling to maintain control of the middle of the line.
Gone, too, is center Max Unger (in the Jimmy Graham trade with New Orleans), and so career backup Lemuel Jeanpierre steps in at center. “The good thing about Tom,” said Carroll, “is he’s very good at getting guys ready to play early.” This will be a vital part of the early season for the Seahawks, who open at the defensive-front-strong Rams and at powerful Green Bay.
What will determine success or failure for the Seahawks: I say whether they can build a bridge with Chancellor, and whether the offensive line can avoid being the sieve that it looks like right now.
Player I saw and really liked: B.J. Daniels, wide receiver. Strange story. Pete Carroll has always loved athletic players. And last year, when Daniels was a number three quarterback, he got practice reps elsewhere, and the Seahawks liked his versatility. He’s pretty much run his course at quarterback—the coaches didn’t think he had a shot to stick this year—and so had him try wide receiver.
This morning, he made the best catch I’ve seen any receiver make in my 17 camps thus far, a diving, one-handed snare in close coverage along the sideline, made with a violent landing, somehow holding onto the ball when he fell. One coach told me that despite a deep receiving corps (finally), Daniels will have a legitimate chance to make the team if he continues to play like that—in part because of the versatility he brings to the roster.
Five dot-dot-dot observations about the Seahawks: Amazing to see the little cubicle upstairs in the coaches’ wing of the facility, with assistant linebackers coach Loifa Tatupu in it. Yes, the former Pro Bowl linebacker for Seattle. Carroll says he’s adjusting well to the maladjusted life of being an NFL coach in his rookie coaching season …
Controversial second-round pick Frank Clark, kicked off his college team at Michigan after a domestic-violence charge, has been very impressive early in camp …
Defensive coaches like what they see in former Browns defensive tackle Ahtyba Rubin. He should be in a three- or four-man rotation among the defensive-line heavyweights. Rubin’s 325 pounds …
Coaches love rookie wideout/returner Tyler Lockett, who returned a kickoff for a 103-yard touchdown in the preseason opener. He could be the receiver/returner the Seahawks hoped they’d have when they dealt for Percy Harvin two years ago …
Speaking of Harvin, Carroll had no comment to me and USA Today’s Jarrett Bell about Harvin’s comments to Tyler Dunne of the Buffalo Newsabout Doug Baldwin and Golden Tate being jealous of Harvin when he arrived in trade in 2013. “You’re not going to hear us talk about that,” said Carroll.
The one name on the roster I’d forgotten about. Michael Barrow, linebackers coach. The rookie assistant and 13-year NFL linebacker transitions from the University of Miami to a big job here—coaching Bobby Wagner, Bruce Irvin, K.J. Wright et al. Most importantly, he used to be my neighbor, just the next street over, in Montclair, N.J., when he played for the Giants 13 years ago. I mean, let’s get the important things straight here.
The thing I’ll remember about Renton. The view. The incredible view. I love coming to camp here. Even thought I’m a professed lover of teams that travel to training camp, August in Seattle is one of the most beautiful months in any city in the world. Today, with just a wispy cirrus cloud floating overhead for the two-hour workout, was one of those days that makes you wonder, Exactly why is it that I don’t live here?
Gut feeling about this team as I left town. I’m worried about the protection for Russell Wilson. Quite worried. Look for lots of wheel routes, screens and quick hitches and bubble screens—and jump balls over the middle on quick throws to Jimmy Graham. I just don’t think Wilson’s going to have the time he had last year. But, and this is a big “but,” I trust Tom Cable to solve the issues and salvage a decent line out of this group. If he does, there’s no reason why Seattle’s not in the NFC Championship Game again come January.
August 21, 2015 at 10:53 am #29069znModeratorfrom Seahawks vs. Chiefs: Six things to watch
http://www.seattletimes.com/sports/seahawks/seahawks-vs-chiefs-what-to-watch/
1, The offensive line. The Seahawks gave up seven sacks against Denver, one resulting in a lost Russell Wilson fumble and another an injury to backup quarterback Tarvaris Jackson (out at least two weeks with a sprained ankle). Seattle coaches responded by making some significant changes to the line this week, moving right tackle Justin Britt to left guard, backup left tackle Garry Gilliam to starting right tackle, and starting left guard Alvin Bailey to backup left tackle. Those two joined center Drew Nowak – getting the start this week as he continues to battle Lemuel Jeanpierre for the right to replace the departed Max Unger — and sure thing starting left tackle Russell Okung and right guard J.R. Sweezy to work as the starting unit all week in practice. If all goes well — or at least better — against the Chiefs then the Seahawks could decide to make that grouping the starters heading into the season. “We need to see them play well,’’ Carroll said when asked what he’s hoping for from that unit. “See them work together. This is about them communicating really well. Talent-wise, we’re okay. We need to make sure this unit is coming together and so I’m anxious to see how they do. Things looked very good in practice.” Added offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell: “Justin inside at guard, I like what I see. He looks like he fits in there. Very natural. He has a great understanding of what we are doing and just being able to make the calls and function in there. Garry has been in there a while and deserves a look. We like what we see but there would be other moves — we don’t know yet. Just trying to get the best five up there.’’ The line will be well-tested by a good Chiefs defense that includes one of the best pass rushers in the NFL in Justin Houston.
2, The starting safeties. The Seahawks will again play without their All-Pro safety tandem Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor. While Thomas returned to practice this week, he remains limited with the team concentrating on making sure he regains the needed strength in his surgically repaired shoulder to be ready for the regular season opener Sept.13 at St. Louis. Chancellor, meanwhile, remains holding out, with Carroll saying Friday that nothing has changed with his situation and that the team is “working to keep the communication lines open.’’ The Seahawks spent much of the week with undrafted free agent Ronald Martin working as the starting free safety and second-year player Dion Bailey at strong safety, and that duo could start against the Chiefs — and regardless, will get a lot of work. DeShawn Shead also will see time at strong safety as he battles Bailey to be atop the strong safety depth chart for now — and as long as Chancellor is out, with the team suddenly needing to think more seriously about the idea that one or the other could have to start against the Rams. “I really have liked everything those guys have done in practice,’’ Carroll said Friday of Bailey and Martin. “They’ve been very sharp and very on point. Bailey tackled really well last week, I thought (Martin) had a couple nice plays as well, so we’ll just let these guys go and we’ll see what happens. We just need more turns with them.”
3,The young skill players on offense. The line issues last week made it hard for the coaches to get as much of a game evaluation as they would have liked out of a number of young players competing for roster spots, such as tailbacks Christine Michael and Thomas Rawls and the group of receivers that includes B.J. Daniels, Kevin Smith and Kasen Williams. “We weren’t able to function at as high of a level as we could have liked because of how that ended up up front,’’ said Bevell. “So if we can get that shored up, that will enlighten us a little bit more about what our run game is like, what the pass game is like, and be able to move forward.’’ Michael, for instance, had a fumble and just 15 yards on seven carries, but also had nowhere to run. Said Bevell: “Thomas Rawls did a nice job running and Rod (Smith) catching some screens, so I think we were able to see some things.” But he added that “it would definitely feel a lot better for us” if they could avoid what happened with Michael where “we handed him the ball and two guys had already broken through the line of scrimmage” resulting in a fumble. Kevin Smith and Daniels each had two receptions in helping make their case for a roster spot that much more legitimate but the constant pressure left the passing game spotty throughout. “There’s a lot of competition there and every day it seems there’s another guy that shows up,” Bevell said.

It’s year four for Fisher. Lots of high draft picks.
Everyone is healthy. They are playing at home.I am a tired, old, fed-up fan who will not be satisfied

vThats what I meant, maybe not clear enough. I was talking about a W at home, and a W in Seattle. Not a moral victory anywhere.
Had to grin a little, wondering if the post above was penned by wv or RFL. Maybe wRFLv.
I say that in jest, knowing that you are absolutely right. So is RFL. So is anyone else who has followed this team for any length of time, and is just not into the “good effort” lines Monday after Monday after Monday.
Looking back on how long it’s been, I have been following this team for 46 years. I’m not sure I’ve done anything else for 46 years. So there is a reasonable investment on my end.
I too, am becoming more than impatient. I turned the game on last week, and watched maybe the first quarter, then got absorbed in something else that had more command of my attention. I realize that the 1’s came out for only a series or 2, but this has happened more and more, during the regular season as well.
So yes. The time is now.
