I suppose it is just a bad tendency of mine to use those words when talking about the Seahawks. As a fan (and homer) it just comes naturally, I guess. I wasn’t even aware that I was using incorrect language, but I’ll try and catch myself in the future.

I agree with you about the players from Oregon. As a Husky, it kills me to say it, but they’ve got some talented players wearing green and gold down there. As long as their talent translates into NFL success, they might as well stay in the Pacific Northwest. I really like Unger’s potential, and Reed has the work ethic and passion to overcome his physical limitations.

And unfortunately, no, I’m not receiving a salary from the Seattle Seahawks.

Shaun Dolence, I am not sure who you are. Are you employed by the Seahawks? Do you receive a salary from them? I am curious because you state..”OUR performance”…I mean no disrespect. I appreciate your articles. I am simply pointing out a pet peeve of mine when it comes to fans & sports writers using the words “our & us” when referring to pro sports team…Hey, I am guilty too. LOL.

The guys from Oregon will turn out to be great assets to the Seahawks…Just like Maurice Morris was. Too bad he left..it is a business though. Unger is a technician. He can create holes, protect the quarterback and get down field. I believe you will be impressed with his overall performance during his NFL career.

Yeah, I didn’t expect anything less from him. Unger is worthy of praise, though.

I agree, it was a great pick by Seattle. I think he’ll develop into a very good offensive lineman in the NFL.

Let me say that I’m an Oregon alum and big fan of the ducks and Unger.

However, Mr. McNamara’s job is to provide glowing information about the ducks. Of course you got a positive assessment of Unger. You asked someone from the University of Oregon media services department for their opinion about a former University of Oregon player.

With all that said, Unger kills it and was a great pick!

I went to Oregon and Unger came to UO my second year as a student, so I saw him play for all four of his years here. During the initial two years the Oregon O-Line was a constant source of debate, however; never during that time or at any other during his tenure did Unger ever draw even the most modest of criticisms and it is safe to say most all knowledgeable Oregon fans would say he was the most consistent of his unit during the uncertain times for the group as a whole, and the leader of a seasoned, veteran unit that by his senior year was the decided strength and pillar of one of the nations most dynamic offensive teams. The most important thing amongst all of this could however be Unger’s cerebral nature and his chameleon-like skill set, which allowed him to not only play, but earn All Pac-10 honors at two different spots on the O-Line as a Duck. There is no doubt in my mind that 7-10 years from now Unger could be playing himself into the biggest steal of the 2009 Draft.

Yeah he sounds like a great guy
