 Youth Will Dissly Jersey , a former second round pick of the Seahawks who had 703 yards for Seattle in 2017 and left in free agency to join Washington, is headed to injured reserve according to several reports on Monday. Richardson will have surgery on his AC joint. Washington also lost it’s two starting guards.Richardson was slow to get going during his rookie season in 2014, but started to show progress at year’s end only to tear his ACL in a playoff game against Carolina. That injury forced Richardson to miss the first eight games of 2015 and just one game into his return he suffered a hamstring issue that caused him to sit out for the rest of the year. Richardson returned in 2016 but was mostly an afterthought at receiver up until he started showing up and making big plays in Seattle’s quest for a fifth straight playoff appearance; he made one of the most unbelievable touchdown catches in NFL history against the Detroit Lions and had 83 yards in the Seahawks divisional round loss to the Atlanta Falcons.The trade of Jermaine Kearse in 2017 opened the door for Richardson to start and he contributed 44 catches for 703 yards and six touchdowns. The numbers were decent for Seattle’s offense, but Richardson’s highlights only tease at a ceiling that has never really materialized. The team opted to let him leave in free agency without a fight and Washington inked him to a five-year deal worth up to $40 million. Richardson had $12.5 million guaranteed at signing, including a $10 million signing bonus, a $1.5 million base salary for 2018, and $1 million guaranteed for 2019. In reality, Washington’s going to have little financial gain to release Richardson any sooner than 2021, putting him squarely in the team’s plans for 2019 regardless. It may seem too early to even bring up what Washington’s options are for parting ways with Richardson, but given the historical context in regards to injuries and his lackluster contributions to Jay Gruden’s offense so far (20 catches for 262 yards and two touchdowns over eight games) Seahawks Jarran Reed Jersey , this deal is off to a rough start.Of course, this is disappointing news for everyone, and I hope Richardson returns healthy at the start of 2019 to prove he can still put all the pieces together.Kicker Consideration: Battle for Seahawks punting duties gets underway Football is back and that means so is Kicker Consideration, your one stop shop for stats, analysis, and news for the Seahawks special teamers, and starting year 2 of the series we have ourselves a battle at punter. Here at Fieldgulls we had speculated the team would move to find a replacement for Jon Ryan as his cap hit rapidly increases this season from $1 million to $2.6 million, but moving up in the fifth round and drafting a punter came as a surprise to many. John Schneider had, before the 2018 draft, never selected a kicker or punter with a draft pick Youth Earl Thomas III Jersey , but for the majority of his tenure with Steven Hauschka and Ryan he never needed to. It was probably never the case, even given the need at both positions, that Seattle was going to use a draft pick on both. So why punter? In 2016, fivethirtyeight published an article on the value and accuracy of kickers league wide. At the end of the article a startling point sticks out, by added value four of the five most valuable kickers are punters. Perhaps this lends some insight into the mind of the general manager. Then again, it could just be the availability of a punter nominated three times in a row as the best punter in NCAA football among other awards and accolades. Four of the top five kickers by value added are puntersBenjamin MorrisMichael Dickson’s selection heralded a new era in drafting strategy and punter hype in the Seattle fan base, well as much hype as a punter can reasonably be expected to generate. Once he arrived at camp, the highly awarded college prospect immediately began to impress with his strong leg and incredible placement.So how did the anticipated rookie hold up to Ryan? For the most part the distance, hang time numbers are virtually the same. One thing that stuck out to me is the context behind both kickers’ sub 40 yard punts. When Dickson punted for 34 yards, it was to pin the Colts back behind their own 20 yard line. This is exactly what he accomplished http://www.authenticsseattleseahawks.com/cheap-sebastian-janikowski-jersey , though he could still do a bit better than landing it at the 14. However, Ryan’s 37 yard punt attempt landed at the 36 yard line which is simply not deep enough given the short range of the attempt. All in all Dickson’s punts landed Indianapolis 14 yards farther away on average per punt from the end zone than those of Ryan.For the remainder of the preseason Kicker Consideration is going to focus on the battle between these two punters. Given there was only one field goal attempt we will have to save comparing Sebastian Janikowski and Jason Myers for another day, but it should be noted that Myers’ first kickoff attempt was a bit of a duck. The samples are so small for the moment, and we can’t extrapolate too much from anything we saw last night against Indianapolis. But at this point given the large difference in cap space, $2.6 million for one year of Ryan or $2.75 million for four years of Dickson, it seems as though the job is the rookie’s to lose.
