Ken Walker III Out With a Hernia

[Hawktawk]

Don’t go there with the GD finger . Pete proved his respect for Russel by taking him at his word he was ready which shoots down the Pete sat on Russ and held him down . Pete showed Russ the benefit of the doubt due to the body of work . But of course it was a complete sham , a made for social media chronicle of the incredible healing powers of Russ . It was on Russ . He knew better . And Pete said REPEATEDLY “ Geno was ready , he played great “ “ Russel said he was ready “ when explaining another turd performance from his royal highness .
Don’t start with the finger . As Geno tweeted post Green Bay “ I’d like to vent but it’s not safe “
Trust me Geno the fans vented for you buddy. It was a circus .

"You're full of cow pucky. Pete first listens to the doctors. Then he watches the player play. Then he decides if he is ready to go. He doesn't "take the player's word." You're so full of it your breath stinks.

Pete made the call to play Russ based on what he saw in practice and the info from the doctors. For you admitting that means you gotta criticize Pete for that decision and you have to admit that Pete thinks Russ even with a bad finger is way better than Geno, you would never admit that even though it's the truth. If we could magically make Pete tell the truth, he would laugh and tell you straight up, "Russell is many times better than Geno or Lock and we got rid of him not for lack of ability, but for other reasons."[/quote]


Baloney. Russ said I can go and after 10 years Pete respected it and once he let him out there he could not jerk him out , Your smarter than you sound honestly. Just a bunch of people who like to argue things that are obvious. I watched 5 minutes of green bay and it was obvious he had no business out there. Handing off left handed, in the pistol all night, several games actually. Unable to grip or throw the ball.

Pete wasn't gonna bench Russ. Russes personal doctor said over a week before Green Bay " his finger may be even better than new." His healing powers are amazing!!!!" Like everything else he did to manipuklate pete and this organization Russ put it in the media. Let the fans know I'm ready and see if Pete dares sit me.

Pete made a mistake and he'd admit it if it would make a difference. But the mistake was trusting a self serving phony shopping for a new team and wanting a little extra media coverage.

COME ON SEPT 12!!! I want to see some snot bubbles. Im so glad hes out of here. Punish him.

I keep forgetting Russ has magic mind control powers that somehow didn't work when Pete and John traded him. I guess they hired some kind of wizard to combat Russ's mind control powers. Pete couldn't make his own decisions when Russ was here because he was overpowered by Russ's magic powers.

We better be better at defending the run by September 12, no matter how you try to spin it Denver can run the ball. They can run it very, very well and relentlessly. If they are running all over us, Russ won't even be back there to sack or punish. We'll just be getting run over down after down after down and getting put on our back feet every single sequence.

"Russell Wilson was a terrible, washed up QB who for purely selfish reasons visited pediatric hospital wards"
How so for selfish reasons?

You can have hernias in many different places in the body. Another possibility is an umbilical hernia.

Ask hawktawk. I'm just being sarcastic.

Can we walk and chew gum at the same time regarding Russ ? Yeah we know about his off field charities everyone thinks are genuine and awesome. He’s sure not Deshawn Watson although he donated several game checks to hurricane relief . He’s not Chris long either who donated his entire 7 million salary to causes benefiting African Americans . But we can all agree Russ was a good guy as a human . As the qb of the Seattle Seahawks he was the best and in the end the very worst . A turncoat casting shade on men who made him , fans who adored him and he didn’t stop running his mouth even then . Russ is a complex person who in the case of Seattle became a cancer as an athlete and supposed leader . This whole thing was his idea . But in hindsight I think Schneider won the transaction which I think will become painfully obvious on the 12th . And if it doesn’t I see you speculating I’ll hide from the forum a while . I’ve been in this group 22 years . If I was leaving it would have been when I was a low class scumbag person with half the character of Wilson . You say stuff like that oh and you talk about my breath stinking . If I’m right everyone will either say they saw it all along or just deny it even though it’s obvious . Like Geno I’ve took abuse 9 months . If the forum sucks bad enough with the aD hominem attacks and you are the worst and you don’t see me it will be permanent . Optimism is a cause for being attacked here or speaking truth about former dude .

It's not a lack of optimism, it's simply having a clear view of the reality of our situation.

We've seen this team devolve into one of the least talented groups in the NFL the last 7 years from a height of being one of the best.
We don't have a #1 QB.
We don't have an identity.
We have had a series of OC's that have been forced to play Pete's way and limit the star players to doing things other than what makes them special.
We have a Defense that was at one point one of the best ever in NFL history.
We have a Defense that at one point was heading to be the NFL worst Defense and is still hasn't shown to be capable of stopping other teams.
We have a team where others used to wait for us to make the final cuts to get great talent. Now we wait for others to do the same.
We've had 1 good draft in the last 7 or 8 years. Maybe. We will have to see how this class unfolds.

The optimism?
Maybe the draft picks from this year turn out to be studs.
Maybe they can get a good QB in the draft next year. Bus seeing how the boxed in Russell they may just ruin an otherwise very good talent by playing Peteball.

Not much to go on optimistically except hoping. No facts yet to indicate we are on track on either side of the ball to improve.
That's the reality.

I think there’s plenty of reason for optimism although based on a lot of what ifs . We don’t know if we have a #1 qb or not . We have excellent skill people on offense whoever is dealing to them . The line seems better then average , certainly better then was expected . There are many great players on defense although they haven’t gelled . But everyone complaining about a seive defense 2 words . Bob Sanders . Safeties who are physical and rangy back up any defense . One only look at ETs injury when we were ranked # 1 defensively and we finished like 30 or something . We don’t have Et but we have 2 intimidators back there . I think people underestimate the talent . If I’m worried about anything it’s Clint Hurrt. He talked a good game . Time to coach them up . If he’s not a good DC my hopes are likely dashed .

We really don't have a data sample from this year's starting crop of defenders yet. But what we do have a sample for is the backups. And it ain't looking good. If nothing else we would be warranted in concern about depth on defense.

The other thing that is obvious to me is that we do not have a playoff caliber QB. Both Geno and Drew have demonstrated inconsistency when they have been starters. Decision making is questionable for both. I'm expecting a sub .500 record this year.

I agree with trents. Hopefully, we'll see a little more action out of the starters tonight as we have well over 2 weeks to rest before we take on the Broncos. I know if I were Pete, I'd work them pretty hard and put some pressure on them to perform. Sitting them sends the wrong signal, that their starting jobs are safe, and there hasn't been very many assumed starters that have played well enough to have their names listed in ink.

[Hawktawk]

Not sure about Drew but I have no questions Geno can be playoff caliber if he’s who he’s been in Seattle . Can we just cut through it ? People don’t like the guy . They don’t like his face , his personality , who he was in New York . They are really clueless about his current game , even die hard fans who watched him play don’t get it . Pundits don’t get it or have prejudices.

And when presented with his compressed sample of absolute starter quality ball easily able to win a playoff game if everyone else does their job , well nah that’s Geno Smith , he sucks.

I shared an excellent article on Geno on thr QB1 thread but I doubt anyone read it . You should. The Geno who may start on Monday night is a new man , no resemblance to New York . Superstar ? No . Adequate on a decent team ? Absolutely .
Team Geno like KJ . 10-6 WC to start this forced rebuild .

I was halfway thinking you were just trolling us, but I think you really believe the garbage you are spewing.
Geno isn’t even good enough to be a starter unless a team has a real problem at QB. And we have a real problem
at QB. He may start the season here but he’s not good enough to start for any other team and the odds are high we end up with
another QB here before the year is out. He’s a 2nd stringer at best and has never been more than that.

He really believes it. Once hawktawk buys into something, he just keeps on going until he can't. I have another friend who isn't quite as a hyped as hawktawk, but is very close. Reality is about to hit the segment of the fan base that thinks rooks are all pro bowlers out of the gate and Penny is a top 5 back and every other over-hyped bunch of rubbish.

We can all start watching the regular season against the starters and see how good these guys really are. Hopefully at least a few of the rooks will be on their way to pro bowls and at least one CB will take that position as we've been weak at CB for years. I hope one of these pass rushers becomes a double digit guy. We've been waiting for a double digit pass rusher since Clark left.

Back to the OP.

It looks like Walker DID have surgery to repair a hernia. So much for Pete's mumbo jumbo and splitting hairs about surgeries vs. procedures. The good news is that it wasn't a sports hernia or core muscle injury, but it does mean that he's likely missing at least the opener, maybe longer.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III appears to be out indefinitely following hernia surgery. Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll told reporters Sunday that the rookie is "still tender" from his surgery and there's no timetable for his return.

Now, it's looking like Walker will not be on the field for the season opener.

Did anyone think it wasn't hernia surgery? Hernias don't usually derail players this young. He can make it back.

[Hawktawk]

Wow a hernia in the preseason . At least Penny made it almost 2 years before a serious injury . Walkers obviously a complete bust

If Walker can't come back from this for three years like Penny, then he will be on a one year prove it or your career is over contract like Penny. The top five back no one pays like a top five back or gave a contract like a top five back or even thinks of like a top five back except for a handful of fools who think six games make a Hall of Fame career and shouldn't come within spitting distance of managing a team or scouting talent.
