stoned seahawk captures Seattle Culture way better and is drawn from local native artists (i'm unsure if they asked permission tho)


The old logo was designed by Marvin Oliver, an native American artist who did that gigantic whale art instillation in the Seattle Children's Hospital too. It's a big part of why I like the old logo so much, it shows that the Seahawks did the absolute bare minimum when appropriating Native stuff, something basically no other team has done.

The way I understand it, the throw back classic yellow and gold's are being brought back this year for their five final home games (I assume the same for 2019). A new uniform will be introduced in 2020.

therams.com posted:

The Los Angeles Rams today announced in front of their Season Ticket Members at an exclusive Training Camp practice that they will introduce a new uniform look entering the 2020 season to coincide with the opening of LA Stadium at Hollywood Park.

Over the next two years leading up to 2020, the Rams will continue to honor their history in Los Angeles through their uniforms.

During 2018 home games at the Coliseum, the Rams will wear their throwback uniforms five times and their white uniforms four times. The team will wear their white uniforms for the first four home games, including two preseason and two regular season games. The Rams will then introduce their throwbacks on Thursday, September 27, when L.A. kicks off FOX’s inaugural Thursday Night Football package vs. the Minnesota Vikings and will wear them for subsequent games at the Coliseum.

I'm not saying Adrian Colbert (FS) is anywhere near as good as Thomas, but the fact that he's Quise's cousin and just about as fast as him is probably relevant.

Sherman is an outstanding cornerback, but he's never had top-line speed. That was usually covered up by Earl's presence, but if Sherm loses a step after surgery I could see him getting a good deal worse fairly quickly.

Still really early in the preseason though, he may just be getting into shape.

Yeah he got burned hard but obviously defense doesn't work one on one like that and it's just one meaningless drill. Against someone like Goodwin Sherm would really have to press well and his initial contact would have to be successful, otherwise he's too slow to keep up and there would have to be safety help. They definitely need to use him in the right way because I feel like he'll have the most success in underneath zone using his experience to jump and defend quick routes. Man coverage down the field will be tough against quicker guys

The 49ers mainly play cover 3 though, right? So he will be asked to do that with only one safety deep who may not end up on his side of the field. We'll how they do it I'm pretty excited to see if this whole Richard Sherman thing works out well

It’s Seattle’s scheme with some small tweaks, the 49ers DC used to coach under Carroll.

Goodwin is maybe the second or third fastest player in the NFL :classiclol:

Definitely never said anything about being shocked. I already know Sherman is slow, he came into the league a bit slow and he's slower now being older and coming off of an injury. Regardless of the video which doesn't mean anything I'm interested in how they're planning to use him and if there will be any adjustments to take that into consideration. He's so good at recognition and jumping routes that it'd be cool to have him in a coverage that allows him to use those skills as much as possible.

Also if he didn't miss the press he would've been right with him even with Goodwin's speed. You don't get a hand on him in that kind of coverage you can say goodbye

I don't know why people still concern-troll over undersized WRs going "over the middle," as if it's this harrowing death march and not just a dummy coach scheming guys in the wrong spots (or a crappy QB tossing them hospital balls). Just because Wes Welker did it for a decade doesn't mean everyone else has to.
