Wilson from Gamehendge Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4710175 Tim Ruskell was fired as the General Manager for the Seattle Seahawks. He was a scout for 20 years and the Seahawks gig was his first as GM, and he took them to the Super Bowl. His biggest mistake was letting Steve Hutchinson go in free agency...but he has drafted quite a few star players. This year was the last of his contract...so he technically went out on his own terms, resigning instead of being fired. I think it is definitly worth a look. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Ruskell In his first season in Seattle, Ruskell made a few roster changes that helped the Seahawks, bringing in free agents and drafting college players that played pivotal roles in the Seahawks run to Super Bowl XL and further solidifying his reputation as a master personnel executive.

FluffHead Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 We still have our "talent evaluators" on board unfortunately. Who knows if we will even be in the market for new ones until these clowns get shown the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson from Gamehendge Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 No. Ruskell drafted one Pro Bowler, Lofa Tatupu, in five years. I would bet you ANY amount of money that Aaron Curry will be a Pro-Bowler?! He also drafted players such as: Falcons: QB - Matt Schaub WR - Michael Jenkins CB - DeAngelo Hall LB - Demorrio Williams Seahawks: C - Chris Spencer LB - Leroy Hill CB - Kelly Jennings DE - Lawrence Jackson DT - Brandon Mebane LB - Will Herring DE - Daryl Tapp TE - John Carlson OT - Max Unger WR - Deon Butler RB - Justin Forsett FB - Owen Schmitt He has lured such free agents to Seattle: LB Julian Peterson DE Patrick Kerney FS - Deon Grant LOOK AT HIS DRAFT SUCCESS IN THIS ARTICLE: http://12thmanrising.com/2009/03/27/evaluating-tim-ruskell/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the longer Ralph waits to do that, IF that is indeed what he has planned for them, the longer he risks being second to interview anyone good, and this team can't afford not to be the first to make an offer.
