Read em. Gus Bradley, Dion Jordan and Building the Jacksonville Jaguars’ Defensive Line | Pre Snap ReadsOnce it became clear that the Kansas City Chiefs would take an offensive tackle with the first overall pick of the 2012 NFL draft, most mock drafters and fans expected the Jacksonville Jaguars to take Dion Jordan. Because of Gus Bradley’s past success with the Seattle Seahawks and the importance of the Leo position in his defensive scheme, the defensive end from Oregon seemed like a perfect fit.

On Saturday, the Indians send Zach McAllister, coming off three strong outings, to face the Mariners' Joe Saunders. Saunders, historically a strong pitcher on the road, carries a 12.54 ERA in away games and a 0.94 ERA in home games this season.

It was a pitch Lucas Luetge wanted back as soon as it left his hand, but Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis wasn't in the mood for second chances Friday as he ripped a three-run walk-off homer in the bottom of the 10th to beat the Mariners, 6-3.

Matt Flynn can’t seem to a catch a break. After leaving Seattle for what seemed to be greener pastures in Oakland, the perennial backup quarterback may be destined to ride the pine once again this year -– backing up a rookie quarterback named Wilson. That’s Tyler Wilson, not Russell. Last offseason, Flynn landed in Seattle with big money and expectations to match, before being usurped by rookie third-round draft pick Russell Wilson. Flynn, of course, spent the season as the richest clipboard holder in the NFL -– only taking snaps in blowout games when the Seahawks didn’t want to risk injury to his rookie counterpart. Well, call it déjà vu [...]

Your first round pick is typically a special player. In the era of Pete and John, the names Okung, Earl, Carpenter, and Irvin live in a different pantheon of Seahawks over the last three seasons. They aren't all necessary the most important players on the team, but they do represent a foundation for what this front office has been trying to build. It's an honor to be a first round pick, it sets you apart from other players -- if only for a day. Bruce Irvin wasn't necessarily the name we expected, or perhaps even wanted, to hear called out for Seattle during the first round of the 2012 draft. Likely this was unfair, and based mostly off of pre-draft speculation on the "value" of Bruce, but there wasn't immediate excitement surrounding the pick. As the days and weeks went on however, it seemed apparent that he could be a very special pass-rusher. Raw, talented, explosive, "the best pure pass rusher in the draft"; if only these were the things we had heard before the draft. We would have been doing cartwheels. Well, you would have been doing cartwheels. I'm 6'6 and 260 pounds (give or take, though you're most likely not "taking" weight away) so I might get a somersault out. But I would've been a lot more stoked for Irvin at the time he was drafted, and eventually we were all excited to see what Bruce could do. We found out that he could do some very good things, albeit a little inconsistently on a part-time basis. Irvin played in roughly 43% of the defensive snaps during the season. His 496 snaps were 315 fewer than Chris Clemons, but he did manage 8.0 sacks during the regular season and added one against the Redskins. On the downside, he was also held without a sack in 11 of 18 games. Though it's not entirely fair to compare the two, I will anyway. By comparison, Aldon Smith had 14 sacks as a rookie and was held without a sack just seven times in 18 games. He could have conceivably had a more encouraging season, but given the track record of highly-talented defensive end prospects (key being "prospect" there) it was really nice to see that Irvin can get it. He certainly doesn't suck. Which is why it does suck to see him suspended for the first four games of next season for violating the drug policy. People were upset to hear the news that yet another player violated the rules and got caught. That's the key right there, that you got caught. Frankly, how can I get mad about shit I don't know about? I didn't know about this incident yesterday and Bruce and I were cool. We were going to grab some Jimmy John's after the rec dodgeball game. Now I know about it. I mean, we're still cool, but indeed I am frustrated. Do I have a right to be? Of course Irvin feels bad about what happened. Of course he's been depressed about it for however long he's known that he got caught and he kept going over in his head what it would be like in the press and on Twitter and Facebook for fans to express their feelings on the matter. If I had a choice about the news, it would have been "Bruce Irvin reveals rare disorder that allows him to be better at life than you, also he's donating all his money to the charity known as "Kenneth's Wallet"" but that's not what the news was. It was "Bruce Irvin cheated a little bit, got suspended for four games." And he knows it. And he's pissed about it. And he wishes this had never happened. So do we. Irvin took back to Twitter to reveal to the "haters" that he knows he screwed up and his "true fans" got his back. While it's good to hear that Irvin has a positive mindset on his return from suspension and how he will rise back from the ashes like the Phoenix that he is, I also can't help but wonder if I'm not a "real fan" because I acknowledge that he screwed up and I'm pissed that he went against the rules and got caught. If we're allowed to support a player when he's doing good, what are we allowed to do when he's messing up? Many Seahawks fans have been chugging along for d
