I actually think kearse is underrated, hes mostly a deep guy who doesnt run routes well, but hes never recognized as such and never respected on the field UNTIL he catches a bomb or two
otherwise that core is really underwhelming, but it gets the job done for them

38 catches in a season is underrated:dahellwhat::yeah ok:
Not even 550 receiving yards is underrated :dahellwhat::yeah ok:
1 touchdown catch all year for a player who is "mostly a deep guy"...:dahellwhat::yeah ok:
Cole Beasely had more touchdown catches in the 1st half against the bears than Kearse had touchdown catches this entire season
Only on the Coli could dude have 1 good game out of his previous 17 and then all of a sudden he "underrated"
Was he "underrated" when you played the Cardinals and he had that 1 catch for 8 yards

When we played the cardinals kearse wasn't on the field since he doesn't play for us (Niners).
Only on coli people don't actually watch players play but go off stats. Kearse is underrated because he doesn't have the stats, and people assume he's a bum. Whereas he plays a very specific part in hags offense.
Maybe you should learn what the term underrated means, while you're at it.
Now I know Russell isn't working with world beaters out there but the recent success of Golden Tate shows us that, he just might have more than we're giving credit for.
They barley beat a team with no recievers
Leonard Washington
Superstar
It is all Russ. The dude makes the team go. Plus he has a OC that calls a balanced run game and Wilson has a power back who is one of the best players in the league.
I have always said Wilson is like a young McNabb except Wilson has a great defense (Eagles defense was good not great), a dominant power running game (Eagles always had issues with goal line and short yardage running) and a OC that calls a balanced running game (Eagles running game was never balanced after 2003).
Obviously im nitpicking here but Id consider those defenses great. When Dawkins and Hugh were in their primes the defense was pretty damn good. They fell off when their DC died. The times they didnt play up to their potential was when Ray Rhodes was fukkin up all the time by playing prevent defense and shyt
I hear you but I believe they were never great...good but not great. This Seattle defense is ranked up their with the Bears defense in the mid 80s, Giants defense in the 80s, 2000 Ravens, steeler curtain of the 70s and purple people eaters.
Also that Eagles defense with McNabb and Reid always struggled against the run. Now that Eagles defense of the early 90s with Reggie white, Seth Joyner, Eric Allen, Andre waters, Jerome brown and Clyde Simmons was great. Better than any defense that Reid and McNabb had during the 2000s.
Kearse is a guy you know can do more, guy that still hasn't had his career year yet
Willson was running wild tho, I didn't know he could boogie like that. Zach Miller aint housin shyt like that, upgrade

Well those defenses were all time GOAT contenders. That Eagles defense wasnt on that level.
But from 2000-2004 they finished top 10 in pts allowed each year..top 5 every year but 2003 and finished 2nd three of those years. Reid's offensive playcalling didnt help their numbers...but they had playmakers and came up with big stops. Jim Johnson brought crucial and well-timed blitzes..and when he died the creativity left with him. Again, Im splitting hairs but Id consider them to be a great year to year defense in that era..just not an all time great defense. They were never as good as the defenses you named or the Bucs defense u left out etc. Dawkins/Taylor/Vincent as DB's with Trotter and Douglas manning the LB and DL was top notch.
I wanted the Hawks to cut Miller a while ago. His salary is wildly inflated and he hasnt been healthy nor very good when healthy. Willson has come out of no-where...didnt know he had the speed he has tbh.
Kearse is a good receiver. just like @yseJ was saying. he plays his role...hes pretty fast, has reliable hands and is great at jump balls. no WR in our offensive scheme is going to ever have mind-blowing numbers...and the system is set up to open up big plays down the field once the defense gets lulled to sleep in the run and short-intermediate pass game. That when u see guys like Kearse and Willson breaking long TD's out of no where. Kearse is the one that saved our season last year..a play that still doesnt get talked about by anyone other than seahawk or niner fans.
I agree and hear you man. My issue with them was that they were weak against the run at times. That was one of the issues as well as the offenses in those first 3 NFC Championship teams. All you are right coach Johnson was the truth he was great at calling blitzes with Taylor and Troy playing man on the outside. Dawkins was a great ball hawk and great against the run. Plus like you said Douglas was good as a end and trotter was great in the middle.
Sadly the Eagles middle line backers could never cover whether it was Kirkland for that one year or the years trotter was there. The Eagles always had avg tackles so they needed big middle LBs to help with the run. But the problem when blitzing those middle LBs had to cover WRs and TEs and would get burnt. That NFC championship game vs Tampa bay was a perfect example of that.
