Ouch! This is a brutal reminder of how, well, brutal, life in the NFL and media can be!
Hawks make amends for 2000 draft
MIKE SANDO; The News Tribune Charlton and Grant have combined to start more than 100 NFL games, counting playoffs. That would be fine by Seattle, except that Charlton started only two of them. He’s been out of the league for three years. The Seahawks paid a heavy price to make amends, signing Grant to a lucrative free-agent contract last week. They expect him to improve consistency, on-field communication and leadership in the secondary.
After the fact, 2006 Darrell Jackson lost several games to injury as well, though flourished when healthy. Isaiah Kacyvenski was claimed off waivers when he was deactivated, even though Seattle wanted to resign him to the practice squad as soon as he cleared waivers. In an upsetting move, the Rams claimed him just prior to the Seahawks/Rams game in St. Louis. Depsite his insider information as to our game plan, the Seahawks beat the Rams.
After the fact, 2005 Darrell Jackson had an injury plagued year in which he required knee surgery. He missed a lot of playing during which the back-ups filled in sufficiently enough to get us well on our way to the playoffs and to put some doubt into our minds as to whether or not Darrell Jackson would have a starting position when he regained his health. He did, he stood up to the challenge, and it was a win/win all the way around! Kaz seems to spend an awful lot of time "on the bubble" in the pre-season, but yet again he made it through to this season on the wings of Special Teams. He continues to be a real go-getter, fearing none, and bringing enthusiasm to the corps. Always a fan favorite, we love Kaz! James Williams was the punt return man towards the end of the 2005 season, however after muffing some plays in the play-offs he was benched in favor of Warrick. I felt bad for Jimmy because he really only had one bad game, although it was a really bad game. It didn't seem to phase him all that much, as he came out the next week for the Championship game against the Panthers with a hard hitting special teams play! GOOD FOR Jimmy! | ||||||||||||||||
