Accurate, but doesn’t excuse either the teams or the players.

I like how the 49ers have been rebuilding for 10-15 years then they pull off one decent season and in their fans minds they own the nfc west… wait til your team gets more than 1 winning season under its belt before you flip on the arrogant switch. #premadonna

All this whiny, name calling, and bitching about Pete. WHO CARES? If this were my team, I would want them hitting every practice and going 100%! Get ready for the season and start smacking people. Good for the Hawks. Bad they got caught — Again, so what? Penalized for being too agressive? Please. Isn’t this the NFL? Let them hit each other and earn their $$. Looks like one team is taking an agressive route to start their season.

“Shaun Alexander is out; Marshawn Lynch is in.”

I don’t know if you know Alexander’s numbers, but I’d take him in his prime over Lynch any day. He also took you guys to a Super Bowl.
__________________________________
The way I took it, he wasn’t making a raw #s argument for Lynch over Alexander. He was commenting on the two RBs levels of physicality. Alexander was as soft as a baby’s butt. Lynch is a tough runner. I know what I’d rather have at RB (Lynch).

Here’s the thing that puzzles me. All teams have player reps. Why aren’t the player reps warning the coaches before it gets to this? Seems like that would be a win-win.

hey there squared80…at least we cut our losses after a few seasons with tjack….unlike the niners who are on year 8 and are still ever hopeful that alex smith will become worthy of the 50 mill you have paid him so far…yeah youre right pete is the fool.

Carpenter is an offensive lineman Sf and tore his ACL in his rookie year. Are you a Niners fan? If so don’t let others get started on how your Niners were anointing Crabtree the next Rice. Look how that’s panned out.

Sf= stephen ford not san fransisco. remember you guys raving about carpenter last year. Its the same way you are trying to lead everyone on about irvin. Just admit it was a horrible pick. “he will.have ten sacks in a limited roll”.thats just dumb. Also you will have a top ten d for maybe 3 weeks then playing 45 minutes a game becuasee the offense cant hang is going to take its toll.

I swear half of you idiots on here need to move on with your life. It’s been over 3 years since Pete left USC. Move on.. It’s Spring time and get out of the basement and go for a walk. I’m sure mom and dad would appreciate it.

Let the haters hate!! Go Hawks!!!

This is the same guy who thought TJoke was the answer at QB, even though Minny gave him every chance to lead the franchise and simply failed at it. Repeatedly.

He already screwed over USC and bolted, why not the Seahawks?

seahulk9 — Wed, 06 Jun 2012 12:41:23 +0000

ahhh the niner fans taking shots at the hawks….enjoy it while you can during the offseason because once it starts you really wont have much to be boasting about…our d will be top 5 our qb situation is far better than yours and our runningback isnt past his prime like gore is. Bruce irvin is a speed demon and will most likely put up 10 or more sacks even in a limited role therefore i dont really care where you would draft him.
enjoy all the 125yrd passing games by alex smith with that so called improved rec corps….im sure it wont pose a problem for our no.1 secondary in the nfl. like Ive keep telling you homers one good season(lucky with the offense you put on the field)in 10 years is not really enough to be this over confident, however it is that same confidence that will make it even sweeter when your team falls apart this season…keep posting to your crap qb on ibelieveinalexsmith message board and keep crowning yourselves champs of the world….its gonna be fun to watch arrogant harbaugh drones shut the hell up

Guess Coach Carroll couldn’t jump to the Arena league fast enough before the penalty came down.

Cheaty Petey strikes again. I say let them have there contact drills they need all the help they can get. Maybe with those two days off someone can show him how a real team drafts. Carpenter, irvin nobody wanted in the 3rd round much less the first. This guy has 2 more years tops.

On a side note I love how the one shinning moment for the seahawks was one run by lynch in the opening round of the playoffs. The seachickens been throwing that one in peoples face for three years now.

I’m sure this will lead to a lot of thumbs down, but this team is starting to sound a lot like the Singletary era 49ers.

Seahawk fan grinning at this news. If they’re “too intense” for the NFL’s liking right now…I cannot wait for opening day.

Holmgren had a good team, but it never seemed to be a particularly physical team. Whether or not this team can attain the same level of success is open to debate, but one thing is for certain: This is a physical football team. Shaun Alexander is out; Marshawn Lynch is in.

Oh, and while they aren’t allowed to go to the team facility or interact with coaches, I know if I were a player, I’d be sure to spend some of my off time hanging with my teammates, running through drills. The NFL wants this to be a punishment, but this team should wear it like a badge of honor.

Go Seahawks!

Petey is becoming another Drew Brees, he “wants an explanation” of the rules. In Petey’s case, they could spell the rules out to him, like the NCAA does and Petey would still break ‘em, like he did at USC. “Just a play here and there……….” sure Pete sure, LMAO

“It’s Carroll’s job, however, to make sure that his guys don’t make those mistakes: He oversees the OTAs and is supposed to ensure that the rules about contact at practices aren’t violated.”

Who cares?? When the season starts for real this Defense will be in the top 5. GO HAWKS!!!!

I’m going to love it when not one Saints suspension is overturned; not one game is given back.

The Saints deserved everything they got. I don’t feel bad at all and your complaining makes it that much sweeter for me.

Oh and yeah, the league did the right thing by simply warning Pete. It’s weird, he got a warning and now he is stopping it. How many did the Saints get privately without stopping…3-4?

Yes, he needs to be fined. Taking $100,000 out of his salary would send a clear message that the rules set out by the CBA are the rules. And head coaches are responsible for upholding those rules.

When the response to doing something against the rules is to laugh about it, as opposed to disagreeing by having a good reason, it needs to be taken care of.

sea3369 — Wed, 06 Jun 2012 00:05:17 +0000

The NFL has become a joke the CBA sucks small farm animals. It’s football not figure skating let em play let em hit…. The sport is becoming a joke…. Now they get paid millions to run around and slap each others a s s. tired of the CBA already
