According to Pro Football Talk, Jon Gruden has been fired. 

Man that sucks, 3 weeks goes by, all the good jobs are taken, then you get your walking papers.

The GM is also gone, so they are looking for a totally new direction, though I never thought they were in that much trouble. If I remember right Derrick Brooks got hurt, then they fell of at the end of the season.

So where do you think he lands?

KC? St Louis? Hawks QB coach? 

I love mock drafts, just love to browse them all over the internet and see what they are thinking. This year though, as I went through the different drafts (here's a good list http://dcprosportsreport.com/MockDraft.htm ) they all seem to think the same thing--Crabtree WR, and it seems like a fundimental mis-understanding of the needs of the Seahawks.

I was reading a bit about the last pre-season game and saw a few comments on how Jarred Allen was winning some battles on Walter Jones. Accompanied with John's comments about how we were insane not to draft a replacement/understudy for Walter this year and I'm guessing that this issue will be at the top of next years todo list.

Now it seems weird to bring this up, but as we all are watching a lot of college games this year (I do anyway) I was hoping to keep my eye's out for any possible future Seahawk left tackles out there.

Based on early rankings of some of the LT out there and thier projected draft status, here are the guys to keep an eye on.

1. Michael Oher, Ole Miss
2. Andre Smith*, Alabama
3. Eugene Monroe, Virginia
4. Ciron Black*, LSU
5. Alex Boone, Ohio State

They get shuffled around a bit, but those seem to be the major players. Some other links to check out

These are the guys I'll be watching pretty closely to see what their made of. Based on the reports, I'm hoping everyone but Michael Oher on the Ole Miss line falls apart, and their quaterback goes blind so that he falls to us.

(Note, I realize these ranks mean nothing, but its all I got.)

Blitz is in competition for the most fierce mascot in the NFL, but we are currently losing.

Its just not right for us to lose to philly.

Strangely we are loosing by the same amount that we beat the St. Louis rams by, and they didn't even have a mascot. Is blitz that uncool?

So common guys, lets win this one for John. Or Scruffy.

I love Kelly Jennings

Babs with that stop of Romo on the way to the endzone, that was awesome.

Tatupu with that toss in the endzone to try to get a touchtown, that was balls.

Who would of thought it would be Jerremy Stevens with 2 touchdowns to account for all our TD's?

We've lost Hackett and Jackson though, were losing doods quick, all the more reason to just start playing a 40 yard passing game. Who's with me?

Espn is reporting that we traded a 1st round pick for Deion Branch.

I'm curious who gets cut to open up space for him?

This is great news, though a 1st rounder is pretty heavy. If the offensive line can give Hasselbeck some time to throw, then we should be pretty fearsome.

According to this (somewhat bad) calculation of players salaries based on thier production the Mariners are grossly overpaid.

Some quick notes

Most underpaid:
Jose Lopez

Most overpaid:
