Comments on: Weaver Gone, Too? http://12thmanrising.com/2009/02/18/weaver-gone-too/ A Seattle Seahawks Blog Thu, 11 Mar 2010 20:35:05 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: HawkNasty30 http://12thmanrising.com/2009/02/18/weaver-gone-too/comment-page-1/#comment-134 HawkNasty30 Mon, 02 Mar 2009 07:34:01 +0000 http://12thmanrising.com/?p=333#comment-134 We should use Leonard Weaver as our tailback with Schmitt as fullback and Julius Jones as a spell back! Weaver is a big back (6'1", 243 lbs.) with GREAT feet, deceptive speed with the power to break through tacklers and the agility to make guys miss in the open field. while i respect him a lot, I think Holmgren made a mistake and should have used him as a tailback instead of a fullback. after watching him catch those passes and race down field for TDs this year, he is definately worth holding on to. give the guy a chance to run the ball behind Owen Schmitts blocking!
