Slog - Comments on The Seahawk Squawk Box http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/05/the_seahawk_squawk_box September is a long ways off, but the Seahawks are going to have to start moving quick to figure out who the hell is going to be in our receiving corps this year. The Hawks have a lot of x-factors on the offense next season. The brittle Deion Branch is on medical leave for at least the first month of the season, if not longer, and Bobby Engram, the Seahawks ONLY reliable receiver is holding out for more money. And then there's this breakdown of our receivers from the PI: Courtney Taylor did not practice, so the show of available...

Are you kidding me? If he were such a great receiver, we'd have stopped pretending he's a quarterback a long time ago.

Deion Branch is due for another great season and Nate Burleson is incredible. With reliable running backs keeping the Defense honest, we'll be ready for a great air game.

I think they like Wallace, they recognize he's a great athlete, but he's too much of an every-position guy and not good enough at any one position.

Besides, he's too short to be a QB.

If there was any team in the league thatw as going to sign him it was the Hawks. The only two good games Jones played in his career were against the Hawks and the Seattle fans are already used to rooting for a soft RB who hits the hole and falls down.

Have fun rooting for him this season, suckers...

three receivers drafted from 06-07.

As long as we're not going to be forced to rely on the passing game exclusively, I say give the kids a chance.

Good for him. With Jackson gone, Engram had a career year last year. Now with Hackett gone, the Hawks really need Engram to step up again.

it's not a sunk cost. i'm saying there's no "hole" and they believe they've got a good group of young receivers. you don't need to draft at every position every year.

ruskell could be wrong, but we'll have to see.
