    Starting again in Seattle

    Ok, will be starting a new career again. This time I decided to pick a new franchise i haven't done before. They are one I have switched to before in a franchise after a few years, but never started with them before. I picked the Seattle Seahawks, because I wanted to do a northwest oriented team.

    HC Michael Smith
    Commander
    All philosophies Balanced

    Playbook:

    Zone-Broncos base offensive playbook, with some other plays added. I'll be the first to admit it's very unlikely I'll ever completely drop the Spread, but at least it won't be my base playbook any more.

    Defense-I kept the Seahawks base playbook, but added some cover 2, 3-3-5, 4-6, and 3-4 plays as well. It's a fairly small playbook, so lots of room to add new plays for future.

    House Rules:

    Start with performance 3, but slowly raise it after that. 3 year limit for position coaches, 4 years for coordinators. I'll avoid advanced special skills for GM as much as possible, and limit use of position based special skills for cooordinators and HC.

    Nothing special with either sliders or roster. I thought about using a custom roster, but have tabled the notion for now. It might be something I look at again in the future.

    Coaching staff-Mora will stay, maybe even made the DC. So will the GM Russell. Everything else is yet to be determined, but I wouldn't plan on anyone else being around for long.

    Roster cuts:


    WR Nate Burleson-71-7.6 million-Not too hard a cut.
    DT Rocky Berrard-76-4.3 million. You have to be a little better to earn 4.3 million.
    SS Mike Green-68-1.1 million.

    Franchise Tag:

    Bears-ROLB Lance Briggs-90-25-8.4 million
    Bengals-RE Justin Smith-89-27-8.9 million
    Cowboys-LT Flozell Adams-86-32-7.0 million
    Patriots-WR Randy Moss-96-30-8.1 million
    Raiders-CB Nnamdi Asomugha-91-26-8.3 million
    Seahawks-CB Marcus Trufant-90-25-8.3 million
    Titans- DT Albert Haynesworth-92-26-9.1 million.

    Season Goals:

    Season goals were a bit strange this time. 85+TE and 85 + kicker, but they're designed around filling positions with a less than 75 overall. Players that are 75-79 overall won't get a goal, which seems a bit odd to me.

    85 + TE
    85+ K
    85+ RE

    That's it for now, will look to stick to two updates every weekend for the time being.

    P Mitch Berger-86-35-1 year, 1.0 million-Panthers.
    P Matt Turk-85-39-1 year, 900k-Dolphins.

    New Season Goals:

    Find a Sleeper
    Don't Draft a Bust.

    Overall, the Seahawks have less holes to fill than a lot of bad teams. It's just a matter of transitioning over the veterans I have to young players in the future.

            The draft path is English, after years of Zazzali and Sweetney. I hope preseason doesn't reflect the real season, because I couldn't run the ball to save my life. Depth Chart and Salary Cap information to follow.

              2008 Salary Cap and Team Roster

              On the team roster, numbers by player names are overalls and potentials. Cap information first, then the team roster.Player personnel decisions are likely to be complicated on the English path. Players like Peterson are very good, but do you keep them on the roster when there'a a better player in the next draft?Something to watch.


              NFL Cap-116 million
              Team Cap- 73.1 million
              Cap Room-17.55 million
              Current Penalties-25.35 million
              Potential Incentives-0
              Next Year's penalties- 8.63 million

                2008 Season-Game 1-Seahawks 45, Bills 13

                I wasn't really expecting a big win early in the season, but it may be that the Bills offense wasn't really on track yet. A good start for the first season-let's hope it's the start of good things to come.

                  Re: Starting again in Seattle

                  2008 Season-Game 2-Seahawks 10, 49ers 7

                  It ended up being a very close game, and I was impressed with the 49ers defense. I was a bit surprised they didn't attempt a onside kick after they scored the touchdown, but that ended up working in my favor.

                    2008 Season-Game 3-Seahawks 32, Rams 28

                    I started to get a bit worried when we got behind 11 to start the 4th quarter, but a good 4th quarter and we were able to manage the comeback. The key play down the stretch was likely the fumble recovery by Rubin near the two minute warning. One thing I was not proud of though-giving up the two kickoff Tds by my defense.

                    Injuries started to pile up in the break before the Giants game. I even had to cut my backup LT because just too many injuries.

                    CU-HC-Lrn Dev TE 2, DC-Lrn Dev DL 4, RBC-Int Dev RB 2, WRC-Int Dev TE 2, DLC-Int Dev DL 3.

                      Not a good game for my team. The Giants were able to run and pass consistently, my team wasn't. Chalk it up to them being a Super Bowl quality team and move on.

                        Re: Starting again in Seattle

                        2008 Season-Game 5- Packers 31, Seahawks 20

                        All of a sudden, the Seahawks offense has just gone cold and we've been struggling to score any points at all. It resulted in our second straight loss, and I have to admit it's been some time since I could have had that result before. The only consolation is that no one else in our division is even at .500, so we're still leading the division. We're facing the Bucs next game, so things might not get better soon.

                          2008 Season-Game 6-Seahawks 33, Bucs 21

                          We made a move before the trade deadline-trading LE Patrick Kerney to the 49ers for their 2009 1st and a 2010 7th. Well, his overall health had slipped to 37%, all body parts were below 50% except the head at 70%, and torso fell to 2%-ouch!His health just deteriorated really rapidly once the season started, and a move had to be made.

                          We won the game, but we'll definitely need to focus on defense in the future. That and dial back the running sliders from 80.

                            Re: Starting again in Seattle

                            2008 Season-Game 7-49ers 40, Seahawks 28

                            No doubt about it, our team has defensive issues. Giving up 40 points in a game is a sign that you might need to do a complete overhaul in the offseason-even if I was already planning one. 440 passing yards and 100 rushing yards given up-just not anything good about that.

                            One player I am bringing back-CB Marcus Trufant. He resigned for a very reasonable 6 years, 37. 4 million-with a 8 million signing bonus. Optimist personality, so he's a player I want for the long term.

                              Re: Starting again in Seattle

                              2008 Season-Game 8-Eagles 20, Seahawks 17

                              Sorry about the lack of recent updates. The lack of winning is really coloring my eagerness to play the games. Add in my division playing the NFC East this year, and we'll be lucky to win the division this year.

                              I have to put the blame for this loss on my playcalling. I chose to not take the penalty when the Eagles wwere at my 35, and let them kick from there. As a result, Akers nailed a 53 yd FG to win the game for the Eagles.

                              Not only that, we've lost our starting quarterback for the rest of the season. I'll just factor all this in for the rest of the season.
