Re: FredEx.

Me too.

I'm pulling for him in Seattle. I want to see him get a ring.

I can't think of a more deserving player in the NFL.

Re: FredEx.

if the seahawks get a 1st and goal from the 1 with seconds to play in the superbowl, maybe this time, they'll call the running play. and that's why they want some more backs!

i agree, i hope fred has some playoff success.

FredEx delivers. Every. Damn. Time. People talk about his lack of 1,000 yard seasons, but what they don't say is how and when he got his yards. I wish I had the stats, but I would bet that a ton of it came at *critical* moments in the game, and on 3rd downs. He may not be (or ever was) an elite runner, but when you needed those yards, he got them. And this is outside the fact that he was just plain awesome as a leader and person.

Anyway, I know I'm crying over spilt milk. It will ease up when the season starts. And then I'll be rooting for him for sure when he gets his touches.

Re: FredEx.

agreed. he has that magical way of getting small or turning sideways or making a guy miss. it was never his elite speed. it was just his ability to do what it takes to get the yards.

Takeo Spikes comes to mind.

+1. I still don't get how we're better with a rook 5th rounder back there. And then there's rumors we were trying to trade Brown? I don't know what the hell these guys are thinking. Dixon is a scrub compared to both.

Ditto.

Freddie can still sprint past guys a decade younger than him and anyone who's watched Buffalo Bills football in the last 9 years knows he has the best stiff arm in the NFL, hands down.

I think he's going to do great things as Marshawn's backup.

I was browsing the Seahawks forum and they were taunting us about cutting Freddie. Thanks for the free awesome RB!

Re: FredEx.

Fred was ALWAYS treated as an embarrassment to management.

Every year they did their best to supplant him with someone brought in the standard way. They couldn't stand the fact Fred had shown all the big brains to be wrong year after year after year.

No one that works in scouting or player development likes to see a star come out of nowhere. Makes the whole profession look bad.

That's 100% true.

Whaley doesn't want a guy who ALWAYS beats the odds in there making his draft picks look bad.

Every year they say Freddie's done and every year Freddie proves everyone wrong.

It's been happening since 2010 and continues to this day.

I guess if the 5th rounder with the single ball performs this year or in '16 (or Brown), it'll be worth it.

One point, though, is that McCoy IS a 3rd-down back. When healthy, he doesn't come off the field like Lynch will.

Spikes was an amazing player.

I feel bad for him because Spikes has the distinction of playing in 219 regular season games without a playoff appearance, which is the most in NFL history
