Gary Shelton of the Tampa Bay Times writes that with the arrival of the intense Greg Schiano as the head coach at Tampa Bay, Kellen Winslow was no longer a good fit for the Bucs. Shelton: In the end, Winslow simply didn’t fit anymore. Not here and not now, not as a player and not as a proclamation. The new coach, Greg Schiano, is urgent, demanding, and his immediate goal is to...

The Seahawks announced Monday night they've acquired tight end Kellen Winslow from Tampa Bay, giving up an undisclosed conditional pick in the 2013 draft. Wow.

Winslow has led the Bucs in receptions in three successive seasons in fact. His role...

We've been talking about the 4-3 Under/Over and propensities for the 3-4 , the Defensive Front Seven ( PART I , PART II ), and just in general, player types and schemes to watch for on the Seahawks defense in 2012 a lot recently, so I thought I'd share a few more notes on the subject. Seahawks defensive coordinator Gus Bradley was on the Clayton show last Saturday and I thought...

In PART I of my look at some of the 'spread' offense type looks the Seahawks ran in 2011 - specifically their 4WR "01" and "10" personnel groupings - I outlined a couple of quick hitting plays on 3rd down in which Darrell Bevell drew up targets for Mike Williams on the outside. (Also check out PART I , PART II & PART III of my look at the "22" personnel grouping from 2011). In those...

Just call Russell Wilson the incredible shrinking man. At the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis the Wisconsin product measured in at 5-foot-10 and 5/8 inches. So you think you would round up, right? But most folks are referring to Wilson as 5-10 instead of 5-11. So by the end of this season Wilson will be 5-9 and headed toward Spud Webb territory. I took a look back at some of the...

Thankfully, he's not competing for the QB spot this year. In my personal opinion, the word "competition" is seemingly overrated. It's a label that seemingly everybody, from coaches to fans and even the media misuse. Competition is utilized to bring out the best effort and passionate emotions from players and have the best man win the job right? How often does that happen in this league? In...
