Thanks for your support! 🍺😎👍
Just saw it too. My first reaction is EEEK! I was hoping Babin was finally settling into a spot, but I guess the coaches have given up some of that hope.
We definitely NEED a safety, but was this move worth it?

Michael Boulware is a freak....dude has great size and is a big hitter (converted linebacker out of college...I actually wanted to draft him)....but gives up tons of big plays in space. He's been a big disappointment in Seattle....frankly I kinda like the trade however. We could use the run support since I wasn't impressed at all with CC Brown as a SS. We will still have issues with safety play in space/coverage. I don't know if I'd call him a "quality safety" though....he is a physical freak (great speed for his size) however.

we need both...If you watch the Cowboy game it was CC Brown's sloppy approach that gave Terrell Owens the easy TD (Brown took a laughable angle).....I think the team knew it was in big trouble at both spots at that time.I thiught the team needed more of a FS versus SS? I have not seen many Seattle games, so I am not sure either on his play.
Remember all the talk about Earl and Brown both being SS ?I thiught the team needed more of a FS versus SS? I have not seen many Seattle games, so I am not sure either on his play.

I dunno either, because this guy is definitely on Seattles DC as the #2 "SS", not FS. So I'm confused to because the big problem was FS, or so I thought ?
I think they have both been dissapointments....I don't see this as a knock. Perhaps both guys will flourish with their second teams. Frankly they are both tweeners....neither played the position in College that they were drafted for. Hoth-Boy mentioned Roy Williams....he has a game very much like his...we need to blitz him and use him in run support and keep him out of too many one on one coverages like the Cowboys do with Williams. I wanted to draft him out of College a few years back....heck of a prospect at that time...but was a tweener just like Babin was at his position. Babin wasn't going to get much time and was situational here....Boulware will be an instant starter...I think we did OK with this one.It kind of funny, we moved up in the 04 draft to take Babin in the 1st round and Boulware went in the 2nd round of the 04 draft. Just another knock against the C & C reign.
Babin was our best pass rusher last year. Now we trade him for another Strong Safety...

We are going to miss all 4 of those sacks.Babin was our best pass rusher last year. Now we trade him for another Strong Safety...
From what I've seen this preseason, we will.We are going to miss all 4 of those sacks.
With this and the Lundy trade, my Madden line-up has to be changed.
woohoo I wanted to draft him when he came out. He was a linebacker in college that was going to be shifted to Safety because of his body type.I think with the emergence of Orr and Cocharn, plus Kalu and Weaver (when he reurns) and then Mario I think this was a move we could defiantly afford to make.
I've been a Boulware fan since he entered the draft.
Yeah...they may not be finished with their moves...at least we have a physical SS who can lay some wood in the secondary now...I'm pretty happy about that.We still could grab a free safety off the waiver wire. Heck maybe the Chiefs will cut Greg Wesley now thinking the Texans don't want him anymore. We nab him and have a totally new starting safety tandem.

Chiefs | Wesley likely to remain with team

Adam Teicher, of the Kansas City Star, reports Kansas City Chiefs FS Greg Wesley will likely begin the season with the team. The Chiefs discussed a trade involving Wesley with at least two teams, including the Denver Broncos and Houston Texans, but those talks cooled.
I liked Boulware coming into the draft, but he has been a disappoointment in the league. He has been misused. However, he has proved that he is not a FS, but more along the lines of a SS. My question is will he be expected to play a more glorified role of CC Brown trying to impersonate a FS, or is he going to play SS like he should?
I'm wondering if he starts Sunday or get's a little playing time?

Hey, at least it wasn't a Green Bay or Denver trade.
I've been trying my best to get a Seahawks fan's take on this trade, but it's as if the sidewalks are still rolled up in Seattle.
