If we knew he'd be back in X number of days, it would be one thing. We don't. This shit just drags on and on and on. He may be back in a week. He may be back in a month. Who knows? Plus, he's not even practicing yet. It's not like he's just going to jog onto the field and be in game shape.

Thomas could be the last piece of a championship team. This needs to happen.

I think it's him pushing back, he did them a solid some years ago and in turn they are ****ing him over. I think he doesn't want to get hurt obviously, no one does but I think it's mainly him intentionally pushing buttons.

If you could pair him with Thomas he wouldn't have to come back as an elite player to be impactful, standing next to Thomas makes his job a lot easier.

I thought Chris Jones would take a big step forward and that hasn't happened yet. Justin Houston is still the best player on the defense but he hasn't dominated. Dee Ford was probably playing the 2nd best and he's now hurt. Parker and Murray have been below average. Can't blame it all on the CB's, though.
Earl Thomas is a safety

This situation will end much like the Breeland situation.

Veach wanted Watkins and Hitchens in August last season. What we know of him so far is that if there is a guy he really wants, he’s going to get him.

He’s trying to get Earl Thomas.

I’m telling ya man I think this is more likely to happen than not. I just think it could take another month bc Seattle is being ridiculous about its asking price.

Hitchens is struggling because 1) Ragland is terrible against both the run and the pass and 2) the guys behind him (I'm looking at you Eric Murray) can't be trusted to even be in the right zone let alone make a play. Hitchens will improve when the guys around him improve.

I totally agree with you on the corners - Scandrick has been a pleasant surprise and the only thing disappointing about Fuller is that most of expected him to play better than he has so far.

To me, Ragland and the safety spot are the two biggest holes on the defense. Earl Thomas cures a lot of ills on this defense.

Veach has a lot more to prove than Dorsey who was extremely well respected across the whole league from his time in Green Bay. Dorsey already had a great rep league wide before being a GM.

EB and Thomas being inserted into this line up automatically makes this defense Top 16 instead of Top 30.
