Couple updates/notes...


S Lawyer Milloy was signed to a 1 year deal and seems likely to make the team as the backup FS.

OT Joe Toledo was signed, looks to be the backup at OT by default.

CB Chris Richards was signed, I dont think DeAngelo Willingham is with the team anymore. That 5th CB spot looks to be up in the air between a bunch of UDFA's

Red Bryant has been playing a lot of LDE in camp and apparently has been impressive. Looks like he'll be the backup there.

David Hawthorne has been playing OLB in LeRoy Hill's absence from camp (The team told him to stay away) and looks like he will be the starter while Hill is suspended.

Mike Williams has been earning praise in camp. I would put money on him making the roster over Obomanu or Morey...or even Branch.

Lets go Josh Pinkard for that 5th CB spot.

I'd add Hill to the "probable cuts" list.

The Hawks should be able to get out of the bulk of his contract, maybe even get some money back, and then be done with his punk ass. Heater is the real deal and I also think Pawelek will make it as a backup


and since this team is rebuilding, is it worth paying an old sucky WR like Branch $5mil? I wouldn't want this bum taking snaps from any young WR's...he won't be on the team when they've rebuilt anyways.

I don't know about Hill... I guess they likely will end up getting rid of him based on the fact that they've told him to stay away but we'll see...

About Branch, everything I've heard is that Carroll loves him.

what about Leon Washington?

Here's my try at the projected depth chart.

QB: Matt Hasselbeck, Charlie Whitehurst, J.P. Losman
RB: Justin Forsett, Lendale White, Leon Washington
FB: Owen Schmitt, Jameson Konz
WR: T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Mike Williams, Ben Obomanu
WR: Golden Tate, Deon Butler,
TE: John Carlson, Chris Baker, Anthony McCoy
LT: Russell Okung, Joe Toledo
LG: Ben Hamilton, Mansfield Wrotto
C: Chris Spencer, Steve Vallos
RG: Max Unger, Ray Willis
RT: Sean Locklear, Joe Toledo

DE: Lawrence Jackson, Red Bryant, E.J. Wilson
DT: Brandon Mebane, Kevin Vickerson
DT: Colin Cole, Red Bryant, DeMarcus Granger
DE: Chris Clemons, Nick Reed,
OLB: Aaron Curry, Will Herring
MLB: Lofa Tatupu, David Hawthorne
OLB: David Hawthorne, LeRoy Hill, Anthony Heygood
CB: Marcus Trufant, Kelly Jennings, Chris Richards
FS: Earl Thomas, Lawyer Milloy,
SS: Jordan Babineaux, Kam Chancellor
CB: Josh Wilson, Walter Thurmond, Josh Pinkard

K: Olindo Mare
P: Jon Ryan
LS: Matt Overton



A few things you'll notice.

Deion Branch is not on the list. He's been out of practice after having minor knee surgery. I think he'll be constantly out of TC with minor dings and will get cut in favor of fomer USC WR Mike Williams.

Golden Tate starts next to TJ Houshmandzadeh.

Anthony Heygood makes the team as the backup to David Hawthorne at OL while LeRoy Hill is suspended....also theres a chance Hill will go to jail and to me it's looking like he could be cut ouright.

Jameson Konz makes the team as backup FB.

Craig Terrill finally gets cut.

DE: Kentwan Balmer, E.J. Wilson
NT: Brandon Mebane, Colin Cole
DE: Red Bryant, Kevin Vickerson
OLB: Aaron Curry, LeRoy Hill
ILB: Lofa Tatupu, Will Herring
ILB: David Hawthorne
OLB: DEXTER DAVIS, Chris Clemons
