Seahawk Addicts
I think Duckett could lead the team in touchdowns because it seems he will be in at running when we are in the redzone so he will score alot of those touchdowns in the goaline. It could be similar to what happened in tampa bay a couple of years ago when Warrik Dunn got all the rushing yards and when the team got to the redzone, Mike Aslott would score all the touchdowns.
I'm not sure if Duckett will lead the team in TDs, but he will surely takes away scores from JJ and MoMo in goal line situations. In TJ's days with Mora in Atl he was putting up some healthy TD totals, I think he had 10 one year, 7 or 8 in the other two. We should also have a viable red zone threat in Carlson. It think 10 will lead the team, with a at least three others in the 5-8 range. Tough to predict because it should be a pretty balanced attack, but I'll stick with Nate.
Go Hawks!!!!
Ok Shaun led the team in td's because he was Shaun, and Holmgren changed his offense to meet his style, right?
So what did he do in Green Bay?
Will most of the td's come from an rb out the back field on a swing pass, or screen? Some one hit the fast forward button.
Looking at that bare stat in isolation it's hard to say SA wasn't a pretty amzing player for the Seahawks considering the fall from grace.
I voted for Nate, I hope our new running game proves me wrong. I'm not as confident about it as others are.
A lot of the RB getting the scores has to do with the fact that we have not had a true #1 reciever for Holmy to dial up plays for. For year the WR kept dropping passes and SA was a beast inside the red zone. So now we still have no #1 reviever and we just need to see how the RB situation plays out.
YEAR..........PLAYER........... POS.............TD'S
1998.....Antiono Freeman.....WR...............14
1997.....Levens/Freeman...RB/WR............10
1996......Keith Jackson..........TE...............10
1995.Chamura/Bennett/Levens.................7
1994.....Sterling Sharpe........WR.............18
1993.....Sterling Sharpe........WR.............11
1992.....Sterling Sharpe........WR.............13
These are the Green Bay years, make of them what you will. Nice to see some tight ends in there though. Clearly we have been missing a very valuable piece to this offense for quite sometime.
It would appear the 08 Seahawks are most likely to resemble the 1995 team or the 1997 if were luckly. 95 Pack went 11-5, 97 team won the NFC
You know with what we have going on these days I wouldn't be surprised by anything...
Sterling Sharpe was an AMAZING TE, I could only hope Carlson could live up to his abilities.
The running game is always a great one to go with when it comes to TD's because we don't have a T.O. (hate the guy, but live his skill), or a Randy Moss (Same as TO), so we are limited to Bobby, as the slot guy in the red zone (which will probably change this year because of the current Hawks reciever issues. Nate will probably not return as many kicks/punts so I think he is out...
TJ and JJ will split red zone I would imagine, maybe throw Mo Mo in there for his catch and run skill...
This team (in my opinion) will be much more balanced in the TD race. Which is perfect for us because it is still a TEAM game, contrary to what many of the pros think. TJ, JJ, Nate, Mo Mo, Carlson, and Weaver will all be fairly close in TD's through the year, but I think Duckett will end up on top, given the team's troubles on the 1-3 yard lines.
No matter what, the D of any team playing us is going to have to worry (especially if we have TJ, JJ, or Mo Mo lining up behind Matt). So many options in the Red Zone. Most teams are almost stuck with 1 to 2 threats in the red, we easily have 5-6 reliable red zone scorers for the defense to worry about. Eat that ESPN analysts!!!
Go HAWKS!!!
Sterling Sharpe was an amazing wide receiver. His brother Shannon was an amazing TE. I really think that JJ will have a good year. It would be unfair to expect SA type numbers from anybody, ever. Some franchises don't ever, and I mean in the history of the franchise, have running backs who put up numbers like Alexander did. His fall from grace was rapid, but I sure appreciate what he did while he was here. That being said, I think the backfield changes were needed.
TJ
Oh yeah, my bad I always got them mixed up. I remember Sterling's career was cut short, but when he was playing he was great
