He kind of fired me up.”Colbert was originally drafted by the 49ers in the seventh round (229th overall) in the 2017 NFL Draft. We just picked him up a long time ago. His impact should be felt on all three levels of the defense: His pass rush ability (he had 6.5 sacks in 2019) will buoy the defensive line, he should free up Wagner in the middle of the field given the attention he’ll command and Quandre Diggs should be the benefactor of a few tipped passes as a result of Adam’s play in front of him.How Adams is used and what the degree of his impact will ultimately be is sure to be one of Seattle’s top storylines when the regular season rolls around.There will be a contingent of fans who roll their eyes at the mere sight of this headline. “It’s really a cheat code.”A cheat code, huh? “I was able to be in the (virtual) meeting rooms with him. While Jackson definitely deserved to win MVP in 2019, is he really better than Super Bowl Champion Russell Wilson? He had 21 tackles and San Francisco’s secondary was considered one of the worst in the NFL, finishing with only two interceptions as a team. I haven’t been around him that much. One would think that even Collier at 70-80%, given his draft stock, could have provided even a small boost.And yet, it was apparent that Collier wasn’t part of each week’s gameplan when he was seen getting extra work in after practice with the practice squad players.“They couldn’t afford a redshirt year on the defensive line and pass rush, certainly not from their first-round pick,” Bell said.Antonio Brown has been suspended for eight games by the NFL for violation of the NFL's peronal conduct policy, Robert Klemko of the Washington Post reported.Antonio Brown (free agent) is being suspended for 8 games for violation fo the NFL personal conduct policy, beginning whenever he signs, per league source.Brown played for the Patriots for one game in 2019 before being released. He loves to run and hit, now. You just turn on the film, I do a bit more than just stay in the box. But given his history and antics both on and off the field, it seems like the risk would be too extreme for most clubs.One of the biggest advantages Seattle knows the 49ers have over them is at the tight end position. The third-year safety dealt with a nagging hamstring injury throughout August and was waived/injured by the 49ers during roster cuts.After going unclaimed, Colbert reverted back to the 49ers and was placed on Injured Reserve. He’s really fast, running 4.3s (in the 40-yard dash). He kind of fired me up.”Colbert is a solid backup free safety in the league who, with a schematic refresher, could be a functioning replacement. We’ve known each other for a very long time. He’s just one of those guys to me that demonstrates the kind of energy that we really like when we play. This is where I need to be.”Adams and Diggs can officially put their talks of playing together to bed as it's now reality. “Me and Quandre have been close ever since, even when he was in Detroit, we talked literally every day,” Adams said. There’s a common understanding, though, that he’ll want a new contract next offseason rather than play out 2021 on his fifth-year option.The reigning All-Pro initially sidestepped a question about his future before unequivocally stating that he wants to remain in Seattle long term.“Absolutely, man. “It’s how I was always raised as far as, on and off the field, if you want something in life you have to go get it. Adam Schefter reported that the Seahawks had waived the fourth-round pick, but Seattle then rescinded the waiver claim. Brown would be able to participate in training camp.The suspension stems from a number of off-field instances and could be made longer depending on whether or not new evidence is found in an open civil case in Florida. He also ran 75 times for 342 yards and three touchdowns. The promotion was Cautious to undercut routes or make a big hit from a deep 1/3, in zone or man pass defense, instead opting to be in position to make the tackle rather than risking a miss. The Seahawks signed Colbert, in … “He’s a hell of a leader.”Adams wasn’t bashful about taking things a step further.“Bobby is a hell of a guy. They’ve been to the big dance. This caution happens when joining piles from deep, with Colbert taking a “contain” position.“I particularly like him on the back end playing free safety because he’s got really exceptional range and all of that.’ “We really think he’s got great potential. The Seahawks made a move to add safety Adrian Colbert from the practice squad. To make room for him, though, Seattle let go of Gary Jennings. Here’s a quick scouting report on the latest candidate to fill the massive void left by Earl Thomas.Colbert played college football at Texas and Miami (Florida) where he shone on specials but played little actual defense—and when he did he struggled. “This is my calling. Colbert was initially signed to Seattle’s practice squad on Sept. 18. That faction has already written off the Seahawks 2019 first-round pick.While I’ve maintained all offseason that you can’t label anyone a “bust” after just one year, it’s not like Collier offered any reasons for optimism as a rookie. Nothing is handed out. Wilson averages 240.8 yards passing on 62.26% completion, 1.53 touchdowns and 0.73 interceptions per postseason game. For now, as evidenced by Adams’ obvious energy and excitement on the Zoom call, both sides are ready to enjoy the honeymoon phase.There are two narratives that are likely exhausting to most Seahawks fans: Seattle’s meager pass rush and the team’s inability to hit on first-round picks.In regard to the latter, Jordyn Brooks is next in line to try and buck that trend.
