its a 12 man league

Rb- peterson

Vereen

Wr-hilton

Decker

Landry

Bryant

No other wr or rb is worth mentioning haha

I'd probably consider the trade, but I have misgivings about both players. Martin's inconsistent and Landry has a QB who can't throw That being said, the Dolphins are going to be playing from behind a lot which means more targets. You're probably strong enough at WR after the deal and there's better options on the waiver wire than at RB, but that trade's still a win for the other guy.

Good on the NFL for fining players that have the audacity to honor their loved ones. This is definitely the most pressing issue in footbaIl

I didn't look into this specific case admittedly but most of these stories are stupid with the media milking clicks by exploiting common sense verse set rules. Many rules are based on contracts with companies which help pay most players contracts and even with normal life you can't always just do whatever you want. Say you go to a school that requires uniforms and you defy that and say it is a tribute are you really in the right? Are you so entitled that they have to bend over for you?

With that said it isn't just an NFL thing this happens in every sport but is highlighted in the NFL the most because it is the most mainstreamed sport. Ovechkin for example had numerous issues with the league over his jersey and equipment early in his career.

Reality is that guy handled it like a child. He broke a set rule then cried about it on twitter when he was fined. If he had any self respect he would have went to the league first and gotten it pre approved or found another way to tribute. But no he just said hey im gonna break the rules then complain about it after they do their job xD

Interesting article. Their was a report earlier that said Murray was likely struggling because he is no longer running out of the I and couldn't see the field as well in the new formations. This kind of expands on that looking at his choices and tentativeness instead of hitting holes hard. I don't agree with every scenario they give but some seem legit and would explain why Mathews has been running much better than Murray.

Some pictures from the article.

Seahawks are self destructing?

http://www.seattlepi.com/news/crime/article/Seahawks-Coleman-arrested-in-hit-and-run-6572456.php

BELLEVUE, Wash. (AP) — The Seattle Seahawks suspended Derrick Coleman on Thursday after police arrested him in a hit-and-run investigation, but his lawyer insisted that if the fullback left the scene at all it was only because he was dazed.

Coleman was booked into King County Jail in Seattle early Thursday and denied bail until his first court appearance, which was expected Friday afternoon. Bellevue officers said they arrested him because he left the scene of the two-car accident Wednesday evening.

Bellevue Police Chief Steve Mylett said finding out why Coleman left will be a focus of their investigation.

"Regardless of the reason why, he has a duty to remain at the scene and provide certain information and render aid if he's able to," Mylett said.

Coleman's agents said in a statement "it seems Derrick may have fallen asleep while driving home from a Seahawks' facility."

Witnesses told responding officers that Coleman's truck was speeding through a 35 mph zone when it rear-ended a Honda Civic, Mylett said. After Coleman was helped from his vehicle, witnesses said, he left. Some told officers he ran; others said he walked.

Officers found Coleman two blocks from the crash within 10 minutes based on the descriptions from witnesses. Coleman reported no injuries, while the driver of the other vehicle was taken to a local hospital with serious, non-life-threatening injuries, Mylett said.

Steve Hayne, one of Coleman's lawyers, stressed how close his client was to the crash when he was arrested.

"He didn't really leave the scene. He was in shock after the accident," Hayne said. "He didn't go very far, and he didn't flee in any sense."

Hayne also said he talked extensively with Coleman at the Bellevue Police Department a couple hours after the crash and recorded a video of him to demonstrate his state of mind.

"It's very clear he was not under the influence of anything," Hayne said.

Mylett described Coleman as cooperative. He was given field sobriety tests and officers obtained a search warrant to draw blood to screen for drugs and alcohol. Mylett said they were obtaining a warrant to search Coleman's vehicle.

The King County prosecutor's office said Coleman was expected to make an initial court appearance Friday afternoon. He is being investigated for vehicular assault and felony hit-and-run.

Bellevue police described the accident on Twitter shortly after it happened as a "heavy rescue." A police photo of the scene showed the Civic on its roof on a steep, grassy embankment and the truck across a hedge, on its side on the roadway below.

Coleman is in his fourth season with the Seahawks. He was on the practice squad in 2012 before making the 53-man roster in 2013. Coleman missed 11 games and the playoffs last season because of a broken foot.

Coleman is legally deaf and his football success has made him an inspirational figure. He has been featured in TV commercials and written a book that was released this year.

With Coleman suspended, the Seahawks signed wide receiver B.J. Daniels to take his spot on the active roster.

I could drive my truck through that hole. The patriots got the right idea, just scout the undrafted, unsigned rookies at RB. They have such a short shelf life the days of a franchise RB are long gone. QB > Receiving Threat > O-line > WR/TE > RB.
