Ray Willis Is Another Free Agent Target

Dirtbag59 · 02-26-2009, 07:33 PM

Keep in mind most of this seems to be based on his outlook going into training camp last year as a backup.

Also on a side note the Seahawks two leading rushers combined for 1,272 yards with a 4.3 average.

Burgundy = Good
Dark Blue = Bad

Grade: 54 | Key
Alert: None
Comment:Willis is a massive tackle who has been a backup for the Seahawks the past three years. He has excellent size and strength for the position, but is somewhat-limited in his lateral range and agility in space. He has strong hands and is able to shock opponents as he engages. He can create movement at the point of attack and create run lanes, but does not do a great job of bringing his feet with him, which causes him to fall off blocks more than you'd like. He will show above-average initial quickness and can kickstep for the short set, but lacks the lateral range to get out with some of the better speed rushers. He will struggle in space when he has to react and right himself versus counter moves. He has some tools to work with, but badly needs more experience and more technique work with his footwork and hand use

GTripp mentioned him a few days ago. I like the idea. He knows our offense, he's young, huge, and inexpensive. Buges can get a lot out of him I'm sure. I'm all for this and Dockery.

Gosh if this happens and we address the d-line in FA... what will we do in the draft.

Depending on how things shake out over these next few days, I would not be surprised at all if we start hearing Malcolm Jenkins or Vontae Davis mentioned

I think the whole negotiating process has been painful. Skins are dealing with an agent they're not too familiar with and they're kind of out of their comfort zone with him it seems. And I think certain events the past couple of days have made him a bit less of a priority

But my gut says he's staying

For what it is worth, here is what Adam Schefter said about Willis today: Ray Willis, Seahawks (T) — Pay attention to his name; the contract he lands is going to be eye opening.
