O’Neil: Seahawks should shoot the moon and acquire Yannick Ngakoue – 710 ESPN Seattle

The film analogy is going to be a little silly, but Im dead major about the offer. If it will be enough, I dont understand. After all, the Seahawks have actually currently sent their first-round choice and their third-rounder to the Jets for Jamal Adams, and Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network stated the Jaguars are seeking more than a 2nd for Ngakoue. But Seattle has actually currently invested enough into the outcome of this season that I wouldnt be reluctant to punt the rest of next years draft to add Ngakoue to the pass rush.

A pre-emptive warning: I am going to ultimately use an excruciating analogy from a black-and-white motion picture that is more than 25 years of ages to explain why the Seahawks ought to want to offer whatever draft selects they still have next year in exchange for Jacksonville protective end Yannick Ngakoue.

Parsing Pete: What Carroll actually indicates about Taylor, Wright, Collier.

Hicks was not even supposed to be there on this particular day, a reality he duplicates with annoying frequency. Of particular concern to Hicks is a street hockey game he had formerly scheduled, and when no one shows up to eliminate him so he can play in stated video game, he improvises a solution: Summon the other gamers to the store. He locks up and the game is played on the roof.

– Dante: Hey, I have an obligation here. I cant have everyone getting free drinks.

Now is not the time to get shy about long-lasting dangers. To obtain a poker term, the Seahawks are pot devoted, indicating theyve currently staked so much on the outcome of this season that they must be more happy to make additions that will increase their opportunities of winning, not less prepared. What are you conserving draft choices for if youve already quit your two most important chips over the next two years to obtain Adams?

Later, among the players asks Dante if he can take a Gatorade from the store. Dante states no, explaining that if he lets one fellow take a Gatorade, every other gamer will want one. Due to the fact that there are a lot of naughty words in what is a relatively unrefined film, I provide now a redacted transcription of the scene.

Which brings us to “Clerks,” a film from Kevin Smith that was launched back in 1993. The film narrates what ends up being an uniquely miserable 8 hours in the life of one Dante Hicks, who is summoned to operate at the convenience shop where he is employed on what should be his day off.

– Sanford: Responsibility? What obligation? Youre closing the (flipping) shop to play hockey!

– Randal “The Bezerker”: Hes blunt, however hes got a point.

– Dante: Will you let me maintain some semblance of supervisory control here?

– Sanford: No, all Im sayin is that if youre gon na be insubordinate, you may as well go the full 9, not (chicken) out when it pertains to complimentary (Gatorade) to consume.

Ngakoue is the Gatorade. The Seahawks have already packaged off 2 of their first 3 picks in next years draft for a safety that they believe will push them over the top. While you can debate the price that Seattle paid, theres no concern about the motivation: Seattle saw an opportunity to include a player it believes can get it over that bulge of losing on the road in the divisional round of the playoffs as it has in 3 of the previous five seasons.

To borrow a poker term, the Seahawks are pot devoted, indicating theyve already staked so much on the result of this season that they need to be more prepared to make additions that will increase their opportunities of winning, not less ready. Ngakoue is the Gatorade. The Seahawks have already packaged off 2 of their very first 3 choices in next years draft for a safety that they believe will press them over the top.

Some individuals will worry that Seattle has already quit excessive draft capital to win now, but actually, thats specifically the factor the Seahawks shouldnt hesitate to provide up a little bit more if it will enhance their possibilities of making that gamble pay off in the biggest way possible.

The Seahawks have currently sent their first-round choice and their third-rounder to the Jets for Jamal Adams, and Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network said the Jaguars are seeking more than a second for Ngakoue. Seattle has actually already invested enough into the outcome of this season that I would not hesitate to punt the rest of next years draft to add Ngakoue to the pass rush.

Whats a couple of more draft chooses to land a pass rusher like Ngakoue? Sure, the Seahawks included Benson Mayowa and Bruce Irvin in complimentary firm, but Jadeveon Clowneys asking price was too expensive and now Darrell Taylor– Seattles second-round choice– has yet to be cleared to practice and may not be prepared for the start of the routine season.
