I hope he doesn't try to play before he's ready. I like Harvin, I don't want him to aggravate things trying to rush back. If he's healthy and good to go, great! Just don't rush it and screw things up, Harvin! You've had enough injury trouble in your career already!
The recievers won't be expected to get much done until the Hawks O-line gets healthy. I don't see Russell Okung the all pro left tackle playing for another three weeks..or more. I'm having a hard time finding an expected return date. Okung recieved a big toe placial planter ligiment injury week two. Now I just did a Google on the injury and the player can return three weeks after the injury. So the Seahawks O-line should be up to nearly full strength within a couple of weeks at worst.
It isn't just Harvin the Seahawks are looking forward to "returning" to actve status. Our highest paid reciever is Sidney Rice has caught only ten catches so far this season.
The team has been operating on smoke and mirrors for the last three weeks on offense. Ya we have a great stable of RBs to keep up appearances and the magical Russell Wilson that can turn shit into shinola when things break down but the League hasn't seen anywhere near what the Hawks are capable of on offense in thier 4-1 start.
I am counting my lucky stars that the Hawks don't have SFs problems on Offense. At least we have a strong contingent of recievers once Wilson has time to get them the ball. What's the deal with the 9ers passing game? You guys gained over 400 yards against GB THEN somebody pulled the plug...or the rug out from under your recieving corps. Currently SF is 31st in the league in passing. We are like 16th. What does SF have to do to bring up thier Passing?
SF needs better play from their receivers. They need better play from Kaepernick, too, but I think if he had someone he trusted to throw to other than Boldin it might let him play better.
For whatever reason, Kaep and Vernon Davis don't seem to have the best chemistry. Davis doesn't get the ball nearly as much as I think he should be. I don't know, maybe the offense needs to be gone over, new routes and formations worked on, whatever. But at the moment Boldin is the only threat teams concern themselves with most of the time.
Baldwin has looked decent since they got him in the KC trade, maybe he can finally live up to a little of his potential. Certainly if Manningham and Crabtree are able to come back and play this year it will help. But between Kaepernick having sophomore slump issues, lack of quality at the receiver position, and some issues with getting a good mix of playcalling between run and pass, the Niners have just been off on offense so far.
Luckily the team IS built around defense and the run game. It may be as simple as a desire to use Kaepernick's abilities too much. They may have focused on him more than they should have.
Seattle has had some of the same issues, but they have been more consistent with the running game. And Seattle's injury issues have been in different areas offensively.
thats why cal ripken was so good for so long,he worked harder than everybody else on the team always being the first at the stadium and the last to leave just liek wilson.i remember that cause of his last tour here at royals stadium reading an article on it.
