What does that say for Aaron Curry?

That said, it’s a make-or-break year for Tyson Jackson too. Most defensive ends need a couple of years to get used to the pace and the system, but if T. Jack can’t hack it this year, look to see him cut soon.

However, I’m also not one to forget coach coming out and saying last year that he didn’t know exactly how to utilize Curry’s talents on our team. We shall see what the season has to say about him being a bust or not. If the coaching staff was telling it true last season and in the off season then we should see some better utilization and hopefully better play.

Curry was not great as a pass rusher in college…I think you’re mistaking him for someone else. You would think he would excel at it, given his amazing athleticism, but he’s really no good. TE’s bully him around all day long.

How often does he blitz? I think if we have him blitz, we would see his performance improve.

The Jets have had a pretty loaded roster the last two years and many times have seemingly won in spite of the play of Sanchez rather than because of. Now with the Burress hype train in full effect it’s time for the Jets to take the training wheels off Sanchez and find out if they have a real NFL quarterback. Dallas is going to blitz the ever living @#$% out of Sanchez in the opener…book it.

I haven’t heard the name ‘Aaron Curry’ in forever… I’d like to ask all the Seahawk fans how he has looked over the last couple years.

Imagine T-Joke playing on defense.

seriously.

No cover skills, bites on every fake, dumb penalties.

However when your team flat out cuts you, or forces you to take a pay cut only 2 years into your contract then it is clear that player has been a disappointment. What is strange is that it was an exceptional draft for WRs yet the top 2 WRs drafted wouldn’t be first rounders if every team had it to do over again.

5. Mark Sanchez – Jets
8. Eugene Monroe – Jaguars
9. BJ Raji – packers

say what you want about each of these three players BUT they are paying dividends for their teams. From what I have seen, each of these players has had their share of growing pains BUT they are still playing solid for first round picks after two years.

PS – suck it, Kipper.

As it stands, he’s got little margin for error under the new regieme.

Curry has been a non-factor in most games. He doesn’t have any football smarts and might possibly regress this year without Tatupu at the center linebacker spot. Hawthorne is great as a middle backer but Tatupu made certain that everyone around him was in place and knew their assignment.

If you needed more proof that Ruskell was a complete disaster, this is it. A franchise simply cannot waste a top five draft pick.

Boy was I wrong. Saying only that “he hasn’t lived up to potential” is letting him off easy. He’s a diva who is apparently allergic to hard work. Heyward-Bey is worse…but at least he tries.

Seattle did the right thing, based on his lofty status and what were their options at #4.

Just goes to show you that the draft is a crapshoot. You never know how college players are going to adapt to the pro game. And not just teams are wrong. The so-called experts like Kiper and his bretheren are just as bad.

This is so so true!

It’s such a relief to know that GM John Schneider is running the show now.

GO HAWKS!!

If the 2009 draft was re-done Mike Wallace would be a top-10 pick.
—————-
If he’s a top 10 pick then that makes Hakeem Nicks a top 3 pick in that draft.

The most complete receiver in the 09 draft and soon to be perennial pro bowler, #88.

Luckily, the birds team I follow didn’t do too badly. Jeremy Maclin’s biggest problem was getting sick this year but he’s been a productive receiver for us.
