Welcome back to Seahawks Sidelines! This is your go-to source for all things Seahawks. As we embark on the journey to the 2039 season, we'll keep you updated with game recaps, player spotlights, and the latest news on our Seahawks.
Seahawks Roster TransactionsSince the start of the post-season, we have been active in strengthening our roster:
Resigned: Oscar Crouch (C), Timothy Mason (QB), Jerome Hicks (LB).Signed: Gerald Collier (FB, converted OL), Charles Villarreal (TE, converted OL).Released: Thomas Phelps (FB), Billy Mock (CB), Ervin Gray (DT).Draft Positioning: Currently holding the 9th overall pick.Player SpotlightFor this edition, we’d like to shine the spotlight on former Seahawks CB, Anthony Goad. Drafted in 2028 (Round 2, Pick 4 - 36th Overall), Goad quickly became a fan favorite for his reliable performances and dedication on the field.
Throughout his career, Goad amassed impressive statistics with 818 tackles, 53 interceptions, 220 knockdowns, and a career completions allowed percentage of 47.1%. He managed to snag at least one interception in every season of his career, showcasing his remarkable consistency and ball-hawking skills. Even though his speed was sometimes a limitation, Goad made up for it with his keen instincts, excellent positioning, and tenacity in coverage.
In 2038, Goad's season was cut short by an injury that kept him out until week 6, impacting his overall stats. Despite this setback, his legacy remained strong. With his contract in its final year and the team aiming to get younger, the Seahawks decided to part ways. However, they offered Goad the choice to either finish his contract and become a free agent or retire as a Seahawk. Goad chose to retire, leaving an unforgettable mark on the team and its fans.
Fan BagLet's hear from our amazing fans! Here are a couple of questions to get us started:
Q: What do you think about our head coach situation? A: Our head coach Curtis Green is entering the final year of his contract. With a record of 20-43-1, he's had a tough tenure but has also faced many challenges, including multiple owner/GM changes. This season is crucial for him to prove his capabilities and potentially secure his position for the future.
Q: How will Gerald Collier and Charles Villarreal impact our offense? A: Gerald Collier, now playing fullback, brings strong blocking skills that can open up more opportunities for our offense. Charles Villarreal, now a tight end, has been seen as a great blocking prospect that could improve. He can help support our offensive line in crucial situations.
