keggerz Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I'm not following the logic here...are you saying if Leftwich winds up in Seattle, that Wallace is closer to starting? Hasselbeck? I am tired today, perhaps I'm a bit slow... i think sea is toying with moving Seneca to WR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaP'N GRuNGe Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Is Leftwich really that bad? I mean if I'm the Vikings, wouldn't I prefer him over the likes of Bollinger or Holcomb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cory_n_az Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 (edited) Good thing for all parties. Horrible timing. I'd fire Del Rio just alone for the timing. Leftwich is a far better QB than Garrard. Del Rio tired of Lefty's injury plagued ways. Lefty will land on his feet with a great shot of being the starter somewhere in 2008.

Bill Swerski Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 i think sea is toying with moving Seneca to WR Given that they already have Engram and Burleson as slot options, I kind of doubt that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomfin2000 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Be careful what you wish for Seahawks fans. The timing is just ridiculous, but I'm not certainly not sorry to see Leftwich go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cory_n_az Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Well if you were considering drafting a Jag WR (sorry), definitely don't now. Any downgrade you gave the Jag running game with Leftwich at the helm(far superior passer), can safely be stored away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Since he won't be traded with a $5 million salary this year, he may not be released until SAT. Once released, it could be a mini-bidding war between several teams needing a veteran backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhino Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Agreed, but with THAT good of a defense and four cake-walk games a year against HOU and TEN, there's no excuse for their 0-1 playoff record over that time. HOU a cakewalk?! HOU has JAX's number. Of course, HOU benefitted from Leftwich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Swerski Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 HOU a cakewalk?! HOU has JAX's number. Of course, HOU benefitted from Leftwich. Houston SHOULD'VE been a cakewalk for them, like they have been for the rest of the NFL. Losing to bad/below average teams has been part of JAX's problem.

FordFairlane Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I didn't get it either. I'm guessing he might be talking about how much the Seahawks have been itching to make Wallace a WR. He was playing the Slash role for a while, but since he's the only QB option they've got, they can't risk hiim in that role anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keggerz Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 (edited) Given that they already have Engram and Burleson as slot options, I kind of doubt that. ummm ok you doubt it there have been brunell to sea rumors floating around, if that happened that would mean that Holmgren COULD probably make a move and sleep at night. now whenever you are ready to admit you are wrong go right ahead and we will forgive you(maybe ) Seneca Wallace Tempting PR/WRPosted by Aaron Fentress August 23, 2007 20:10PM Categories: Seahawks Update Backup QB Seneca Wallace is considered by many to be the best all-around athlete on the team. A lot of good that does the Seahawks when he's on the bench. Wallace signed a contract extension this week and is committed to being a quarterback. But he has taken punts in practice and he certainly can play some wide receiver. But don't count on it. "If there was a way that I could sleep at night and put him on the field I would do it," Seattle coach Mike Holmgren said. "I can't do it right now but if I could figure out a way to do it, I'd do it." Probably best not to considering his value should starter Matt Hasselbeck go down. But it has to be tempting. Adding to the fear is the injury to third-team QB David Greene, who threw three interceptions last week against Green Bay and is now out with an injury. That places Derek Devine (Canby H.S.), an undrafted rookie free agent at No. 3. Devine's only meaningful action since high school came in junior college. So, risking Wallace with the distinct prospects of falling back on Devine should something go wrong is not very appealing. No offense to Devine, but he is a project.

It seems to me that it would move him to third-string QB. At least this quote suggests so... But he has taken punts in practice and he certainly can play some wide receiver. But don't count on it. The few games that I've seen Wallace at QB suggests that he's a halfway decent backup. And since decent NFL QBs who can competently execute a complex WCO don't exactly grow on trees, I don't see why they'd want to move him to WR when they already have a lot of depth there. Or did you mean that SEA is "toying with using Wallace as a practice squad WR/third-string QB"? Given that many (if not most) teams deactivate their fifth-string WRs on game day, making Wallace a full-time WR would be counter-productive. He'd have to retain his status as a backup QB for the move to make any sense. Edited September 1, 2007 by Bill Swerski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubfoothead Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Maybe leftwich sucks but until he plays on a team with some WR talent I guess we'll never know. Would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when Leftwich lost his $hit with Del Rio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am tired today, perhaps I'm a bit slow... I think he is intimating that Wallace may supplant both Hackett and Burleson at WR2 if Lefty comes to town. He is one hell of an athlete.

Bricktop Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I just want to thank you "Huddle" guys. Last week in one of my 12 man leagues (2 starting QB's), I remember reading a thread on here about how the Jags were not very happy with Leftwich, so I drafted Garrard in the 19th round. Nice to pick up a starter that late in the draft. BOOOOOOOOOOYAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outshined Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Hmmm The Jags snuck up before the Vikings to grab Leftwich, the Vikings ended up with all-pro Kevin Williams. I wonder if Tice has something to do with this. Maybe he is vindicating himself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
