Seahawk Related Tidbits from Week 1

[SeaHawksHuddle]

The Eagles' Pro Bowl fullback Leonard Weaver left the game against Green Bay with a bad knee injury that could keep him out for a while. Fullbacks are hard to find. Teams such as the Cardinals and Bengals had been looking for a fullback the entire offseason without success. … There were several interesting decisions among the inactives. The Eagles deactivated defensive end Darryl Tapp, who received a three-year, $11.7 million contract after coming from Seattle in a trade. Pete Carroll of the Seahawks decided receiver Deon Butler, a draft choice from last year, was more important than 2010 second-round choice Golden Tate, a receiver who was inactive.

Hard to figure why tate was out. Maybe he is in Carroll's dog house coming from Notre Dame and all? I dunno, he did draft him. Of course coming from Notre Dame during the Charlie Weis ear immediately makes you slower, less smart and softer all around. It's a product of playing for the Bob's Big Boy.

He's out because they wanted to have 5 RBs (Forsett, Jones, Ganther, Washington and Robinson) and because Obomanu is more valuable on Special Teams.

Yes, but he is a play maker over the middle. We need him to develop. Hopefully he can prove his worth on the practice field and get back out there. I think he can make things happen for us in the future, and this team seems to have a brite one at the moment! :emoticon-0102-bigsm
