Another Ho-HUm Exhibition Beat The Seahags Game Day Thread

[Formula 21]

Ho-Hum.

Is anyone out there?

Does anyone care?

Pre-season Game Day, Baby!

Ready to go...just finished putting together my clothes hanger tin foil antenna

[Formula 21]

I'm hoping to see better line play today, both O and D. Fluker needs to step up. Carrethers needs to step up. We need to play on their side of the line.

[Formula 21]

All right, we will see a test for the o line.

5. How does the defensive line rotation shake out with the starters in the game longer?
Defensive line depth potentially could be one of Seattle’s biggest strengths this season, and with the line mostly healthy and starters expected to play deep into the game, this will be the best look so far at how the Seahawks might rotate is linemen. Frank Clark was huge in the first game, but how will he look going more against starters, and just how will he be used? What about Cassius Marsh, Jordan Hill, two more non-starters who figure to be big factors in the rotation, how exactly do they fit in? And in addition to the starters—Michael Bennett, Cliff Avril, Brandon Mebane and Ahtyba Rubin—and the names mentioned above, as well as linebacker Bruce Irvin, who is a pass-rusher in the nickel defense, can any other linemen crack the rotation with the first unit? The depth on the line isn’t in question, but how exactly it is deployed will be interesting to watch.

I need to test out my hd antenna. This DTV/CBS shit is so lame.

Gonna be a scorcher today. Probably 100 degrees plus on the field at kickoff.

Speedy, athletic WR Tyrell Williams looks the part

Eric D. Williams
SAN DIEGO – In a stacked receiver group, an undrafted rookie free agent managed to stand out by consistently making plays during training camp.

Tyrell Williams is a name to remember next week during the San Diego Chargers' final roster cuts.

At 6-foot-4 and 205 pounds, Williams played at NCAA Division II Western Oregon University. He ran a 4.42-second, 40-yard dash time at his pro day at Oregon State University and posted a 39.5 inch vertical leap.

Williams finished with 162 receptions for 2,792 yards and 21 touchdowns for the Wolves.

“I feel like my speed is probably one of my main things,” Williams said. “I feel like I can get by anybody and stretch the field. And far as red zone and jump balls, I feel like I can go up and out jump anybody. So those are probably my strengths.”

Williams said he weighed about 170 pounds playing for Cascade High in Salem, Oregon, so he didn’t get many looks from major colleges. He received interest from Western Oregon University because his older brother RJ played cornerback there, and ultimately committed to the Wolves.

“I was just real skinny and came out of a wing-T offense,” Williams said about his high school playing days. “I wasn’t crisp in routes or anything. I was really, really raw.”

Williams transformed from a lanky receiver in a running offense to a speedy, polished route runner who San Diego’s cornerbacks can’t keep in front of them.

Williams’ play-making ability earned him a nickname from Philip Rivers – little Malcom – an homage to veteran receiver Malcom Floyd.

Like Floyd, Williams is a soft spoken, undrafted rookie who lets his play do the talking.

“If they want to compare me to him, that’s awesome,” Williams said. “I’ll take that for sure.”

Williams said he travelled to Chargers Park for a pre-draft visit in April, establishing a good rapport with receivers coach Fred Graves. The Chargers were one of six teams to show interest in Williams after the draft was over, but Williams liked the idea of staying on the West Coast.

Built similar to San Diego big receivers such as Floyd and Keenan Allen, Williams fits right in San Diego’s offensive scheme.

And people around Chargers Park are paying attention.

“When you start doing better and other people take notice, it’s definitely a good thing,” Williams said. “It’s trying to keep the consistency going, that’s really my main focus right now.”

I believe the SEC looks for tall and fast guys to train, even if they're skinny. You just can't teach tall and fast.
