Seahawks Update!!

by Afraidofedhochuli

From http://afraidofedhochuli.blogspot.com/   Tubbs is out for the season, and to sound like a jerk...what's new. Well...I will tell you what's new!   Michael Boulware is out. Jason Babin is in. [1] [2] [3] [4]                   ESPN: "The Texans filled a need for a safety by acquiring Michael Boulware on Saturday from the Seahawks in exchange for former first-round pick Jason Babin . Texans coach Gary Kubiak needed help at the position because of the season-ending loss of veteran Glenn Earl . Boulware, a former second-round choice, lost his starting job and was destined to be moved. The Seahawks brought in Brian Russell and Deon Grant to start at safety. In fact, the Seahawks were five deep at safety and had the depth to be able to make a deal. "I heard that I'm going to Seattle," Babin said. "We knew it was a possibility. It's the way football goes, just do what you can while you're here." Babin, the 27th pick in the 2004 draft, appeared in 15 games last season with three starts and had 26 tackles and five sacks. ' He said the Seahawks told him they liked his pass-rushing ability. ' "Seattle, they said, 'We're going to give you some chances to do some damage,'" he said. "So hey, time to go up there and rush the passer." Boulware started eight games last season for the Seahawks and had 39 tackles and two interceptions. He had 73 tackles and four interceptions in 2005 and 63 tackles and five interceptions as a rookie." ' This is AWESOME! Why? [5] Enter C.J. Wallace.

Before the trade the Seahawks were stacked at Safety, so much so that they would have to make some tough decisions on a few young guys. They had at FS: Deon Grant Jordan Babineaux And at SS: Brian Russell Mike Green Michael Boulware C.J. Wallace Now that they have traded Boulware and C.J. Wallace has shown us that he knows how to play. In the preseason he had: 11 Tackles (10 Solo). 1 fumble recovery and 2 INTs. [6] KEEP THIS GUY. He played the entire final preseason game. He is a ball-hawker. He is around the play. You are reading this saying: "Why are you so high on this guy?" My answer? He is a good guy. He was an undrafted free agent from the University of Washington. He was on the radio saying: "I have a degree. I am out here to play not to make money, I can make money with my degree." [7] He showed to me, and hopefully to the coaching staff, that that he can play football. We already know that "Big Play" Babineaux is used as a corner in quarter packages, use C.J. for that as well. Use him on special teams. JUST USE HIM. If they cut him hoping to put him on the practice squad, he will be picked up by another team. He is that good.

i won't try to dispute whether he's good or not, but i might caution you about getting too enthusiastic about preseason performances.
