Laurence Maroney

by sbredskinsnabb on Sep 2, 2010 4:18 PM EDT

I thought that I read where he was let go by New England. If so , how serious of a look does he deserve ? If priced right would he be a worthwhile addition to our running game ? I dont know why NE released him , but if it is not injury related he might be just what our running game needs? He can be a beast..

I also believe that there is going to be a good pool of talent released by teams , so there may be better rb.s becoming available?

I don't think he's done much beasting in the NFL

and it’s still just an unconfirmed rumor that he’ll be cut.

I’d take him for the veteran minimum. He’s not worth much more than that.

In the simplest words...

I dont know why NE released him

Because he is not good at playing the game of football

(and he has yet to be released)

VOID!!!

a fatal flaw for sure

Because he is not good at playing the game of football

I'd still rather get Lynch from Buffalo

That would at least give us some teeth on the goal line and short yardage. I’m not sold on LJ, and Portis isn’t going to take a constant pounding between the tackles for 16 games.

Or Kevin Smith from Detroit

I think he’d be worth a look at the very least.

If they cut Smith

who was a 1st round pick (I believe), then something more serious must be going on with that knee.

by VA_Skin on Sep 3, 2010 6:16 PM EDT up reply actions

Kevin Smith

I believe was a 2nd. Very talented and balanced runner. I liked him a lot during the Lions oh so exciting 0-16 year. Him and Calvin Johnson were the big bright spots on the offense. If he was to be released, I agree, I think there is more issues with that knee. Him and Best would make a good combo, and there would be no reason to cut him unless that’s an issue.

by BigOLinemen on Sep 3, 2010 9:14 PM EDT up reply actions

Definitely like Lynch

I think he would fit Shanahan’s 1-cut-and-go running preferences also.

by VA_Skin on Sep 3, 2010 6:13 PM EDT up reply actions

Eww

I wouldn’t touch a NE RB with a stick. If any of them was good enough, they wouldn’t be on the patriots. Only reason a NE RB gains yard is because of a nice OL and the defense is always thinking pass. I don’t want Maroney at all.

by BigOLinemen on Sep 2, 2010 11:52 PM EDT reply actions

How about TJ Houshmanzadeh?

read he is on the verge of being cut.

by BostonSkinsFan on Sep 3, 2010 2:36 PM EDT reply actions

He's definately not being cut, they are trying to trade him

And we have nothing of value to trade for him, and if you say “draft picks” then I’m personally coming up to Boston to come after you.

by Parks Smith on Sep 3, 2010 2:39 PM EDT up reply actions

take it easy, take it easy

wouldn’t give up more than a 2015 7th round pick, if I had a say in the matter….don’t think Shanny or Allen will take my calls

The News
T.J. Houshmandzadeh is increasingly unlikely to play for the Seahawks this season, according to the Seattle Times.

Our View
It sounds more and more like the Seahawks may indeed cut him if they’re unable to find a trade partner. His fantasy value certainly takes a hit, though he should latch on elsewhere before long, this assuming that he is indeed no longer in Seattle.

by BostonSkinsFan on Sep 3, 2010 2:47 PM EDT up reply actions

They will probably try and trade Jarmon

and SEA really needs another 4-3DE

by BayAreaBullet on Sep 3, 2010 5:25 PM EDT up reply actions

Not a bad trade idea

Actually...

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d81a414ff/article/seahawks-expected-to-part-ways-with-wr-houshmandzadeh?utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=twitterfeed

The Seattle Seahawks have informed wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh that he will be released if no trade options materialize, a league source said Friday. A trade is highly unlikely, considering Houshmandzadeh’s $7 million price tag for this season.

Possible landing spots for Houshmandzadeh include the Oakland Raiders, Washington Redskins and Minnesota Vikings.

Plus, I’m watching NFL Network right now and it just flashed across the screen that he was released.

by bigrm18 on Sep 3, 2010 7:05 PM EDT up reply actions

Oops

It flashed that he’s expected to be released.

by bigrm18 on Sep 3, 2010 8:11 PM EDT up reply actions

Must sign.

Housh is versatile enough to play any WR spot, strong or weak, slot, whatever. Basically allows us to plug him in at any spot to relieve the starter at that position, once he gets up on the playbook. I still like either Armstrong or Thomas for #2 starter, but if they don’t step up, TJ gives you a steady presence there as well for an every-play kind of guy. He’s not in his prime, but he’s not far past it either (Galloway).

TJ Houshmanzadeh

First I’m not knocking the guy . I dont know much about him , but isnt he only 6’2 .
For the sake of our QBs and the TEAM wouldn’t a taller target receiver be higher up on our WANT list? 6’4-6’5 ish.

by sbredskinsnabb on Sep 4, 2010 8:07 AM EDT up reply actions

Yeah, there’s about a million 6’4 receivers with the kinds of career numbers of Housh just laying around waiting for the Washington Redskins to call them.

by kseandoyle on Sep 4, 2010 3:18 PM EDT up reply actions

YES

I would cut Galloway for Housh in a NY minute.

by VA_Skin on Sep 3, 2010 6:20 PM EDT up reply actions

Wow

I do think we should pursue him. DON’T OVERPAY, but definitely give him a shot. Great possession guy, would be a very good balanced addition to Moss, a speed guy, and the rest of the skill sets we have at receiver. Aside from Malcolm Kelly, we really don’t have a big guy with great hands.
