Whur CHad At? Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 No one on this forum is talking about this guy. He is:Steve Hutchinson of the Seattle Seahawks.The guy is the most underrated guards in the league, and IMO, he is the best. He is 28 years old, and is a FA at the end of the year. He went to Michigan, so It would make sense for him to play close to home. Anybody think we should look at him??? A lot of people say he could be the biggest FA available at the end of the season and some people have him goin to us. If we were to get him, we would have the best OL in the league hands down. I could see Marvin pursuing him.I do not think that Seattle can franchise him because they aren't allowed after using it on Walter Jones the past couple of years.

Kirkendall Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Why do we need a new guard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShulaSteakhouse Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Because both of their current guards' contracts end after 2006 along with their center, and both of their tackles.If they can get an upgrade to Williams or Braham now, and sign him long term, I'd do it in a heartbeat - be it in the 1st or 2nd round of the draft, or in FA.They just invested Fort Knox in Palmer - surely Mike Brown is still having nightmares about Palmer's knee being crushed like a wishbone not two weeks after they signed him.I've also never seen a team re-sign or extend it's entire 0-line in one year or offseason. Surely someone will throw some dough at Steinbach and Williams also, and Braham will be gone regardless after this season, if not sooner depending.

Whur CHad At? Posted January 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Carson wouldnt have to worry anymore with Levi, Hutchinson,Braham, Stienbach, and Big Willie Protecting him. I love it, we need to make the move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schroomytunes Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 No way it makes no sense, we can resign bobbie williams at a much friendlier cap hit and still be able to address defensive needs. Hutchinson is good but bobbie williams aint a slouch either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alleycat Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 It wasn't Bobbie Williams that got beat on the Palmer injury. It was Steinbach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimo Von Asshat was down on the ground and the ball was away before the hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turningpoint Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 We should go after him IMO, Gaurds never take in a lot of money, at most 2-3 million a year, and with hutchinson in his prime, he'd be a great aquisition.Not to mention our cap room is pretty solid.we could go after hutchinson, and let Stienbach go, for less then probably $200k a year difference.Hutchinson will be probably demanding the same kind of contract stieny will in 365days.As great as stienbach is hutchinson is better, hard to believe we could upgrade the LG position but it is very possible.

KMH14 Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 If we acquire Hutchinson, which I am not adverse to, I would like to try and keep Steibach. He is pretty darn good and valuable in the sense that he can also play tackle (and center for that matter.) With Hutch at right guard and the rest of our line in tact, pretty darn good.

Whur CHad At? Posted January 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 People need to get out of their heads that we have like the worst cap situation right now. It is getting annoying. You gotta spend some doh to get to it in this league. Can't win on old, cheap players.Why have all that cap room and not go out and spend some of it?? Just waste of money... Besides Hutchinson won't cost $95 mill dollars folks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, asshat.... did you miss the fact that we need to spend a large portion of our cap room on resigning guys who become free agents in 2006? We aren't winning on old cheap players, we are preparing to keep our young, athletic studs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 I agree Cincy, but I am saying that we should def. take a long look at both of them because both of them are excellent.I wouldn't mind having either...

derekshank Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 An O-Lineman is about as expensive as you get in FA. If Marvin doesn't want to pay for a CB through FA, i can bet he isn't going ot look to upgrade the Guard position through FA... especially when we have Ben Wilkerson who will likely play the position just fine.

turningpoint Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 well tackles are expensive, but damian woody got a 3 year 9.5 million dollar deal, and that was the most any1 has ever paid for an interior lineman.We could get hutchinson for less.

TJJackson Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 What I don't understand is why you are giving up on Bobbie Williams?He had a pretty good year, first off, was healthy throughout, is not expensive, probably has another 4 more good years in him. He's also a high spirited positive oriented fellow.That, and most analysts thought our offensive line played very well, even excellently, as a unit through the year. Much of an offensive line's strength comes from cohesiveness....knowing what to expect from the guys around you. This will be what...their third year together as a unit? Do you really want to take the chance of subtracting from the overall effectiveness of the unit by adding a player to replace a player who is already pretty good? and burn more cap money doing it?I dunno. Count me as solidly in the "don't fix what ain't broke" crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
