That's a sentiment I can support. :thumbsup:

I'm just guessing.

And @Mortreport says the Vikings are asking a second-round pick for Jared Allen but would consider a conditional third-round pick.

Dallas is a Cover-2 4/3 base under Kiffin. This is why Ware has been a non factor (when healthy).
Pull yr 84 jerseys out.

I don't think anything gets done. Allen and Gerhart seem like the only real candidates and I don't think there's much interest in the latter. Maybe if Allen is really being as vocal as some report about how bad this defense is then I can see them shipping him off but right now I'd be very surprised if anything happens.

It looks like Seattle might be making a bid for Jared Allen.

Yeah. I just heard on NFL Network that the interest from the Seahawks is being overblown (probably due to them being Vikings stealers). They don't even have the cap room. I think they have $2 million to work with.

Glazer reported that Seattle are NOT in the runnings, but Allen has said he could restructure for the right situation.

Good. I wish Allen the best, but man, I don't want him to go there. Just as some of you guys, I'm about sick of the Seahawks. They better try to win it NOW though, because they are doomed in the next few years when all of their guys want big contracts. A lot of their best players aren't making much, but they are paying Harvin bank and he's doing nothing. 8) Heehee.

Except they have a 7-1 record without him. Oh, and he's going to absolutely destroy us in week 11. Josh Robinson on Percy Harvin? God help us all.

One more thing while we're on Seattle, it's amazing how inept Bevell looked here with Jackson and how much better he looks in Seattle with Russel Wilson (so much that I've seen his name pop up as a possible head coaching candidate). It leads me to a thought: how fundamentally bad is Musgrave when given a football-thrower (or quarterbacks) that can't execute? Musgrave is really hamstrung (or one could say it's what happens when bad meets worse) and it's an interesting thought/exercise to speculate how a player like Matt Ryan or Tom Brady could do under similar play calling.

Edit: Bevell sure didn't do much to help his team on Monday night, calling a ridiculous amount of passing plays compared to rush when they're supposedly a rush-first team going up against a team 30th in the NFL in rush defense. I found that a bit odd/stupid.
