Re: 49ers @ Seahawks

Well, looks like the Hawks are addressing their WR needs. K-Rob is back in town and taking a physical today. If he passes he's a Hawk. Good low risk, high reward signing if it goes through. Nice to bring in someone who knows the playbook and can return kicks.

Word. They also finalized things with Koren Robinson according to Mike Sando's blog at ESPN.

This makes the current WR Corps: Taylor, McMullen, Bumpus, Robinson and Colbert, with Engram and Branch expected to be back after the bye (week 4). They should start to look better offensively, especially in the passing game, but the defense was very disappointing last week, despite recording 8 sacks - just too many big plays given up by the secondary. Both corners are playing with injuries - Trufant has a cracked bone in his hand and Jennings has a cracked rib, but this is no time to be making excuses for them. Some of the bigger plays against them were against the new guy, second-year player and former 2nd round pick Josh Wilson. The schedule is tough but Seattle still has a chance to turn things around...I hope.

Re: 49ers @ Seahawks

For you Seahawk fans who would be the better pickup, Koren Robinson, Billy McMullen or Keary Colbert?

As long as his knee holds up and he stays out of trouble, Robinson, by far. He's the only one who has experience in Holmgren's system before, and he's the only one who has ever been a starting receiver in his career - Colbert was drafted with that intent but never lived up to expectations, and McMullen has never been more than a 4th stringer to my knowledge. Robinson also made the pro-bowl as a kick returner for the Vikings, so he should help there too. The big thing is that he stays out of trouble and we'll have to see if he's the same player he was 2-3 years ago (apparently his knee injury may have slowed him down somewhat, though he still averaged 11.5 yards per catch last year in Green Bay). If he shows he still has what it takes to be a good player in the NFL, the trio of him Branch and Engram plus the rookie tight end John Carlson should make Seattle's passing game respectable again. Its the defense that has me concerned actually, although the WR situation has been just ridiculous. Given the Rams' run defense (or lack there-of) and offensive woes, the Seahawks should be able to get a win this week at home, though the Rams always seem to play Seattle tough. I'm not even going to think about what happens if Seattle starts out 0-3, 0-2 in divisional play and 0-2 at home.
