I know it has been awhile since our last post but May has proven to be a busy month and a somewhat irrelevant month for major blog postings.
But on to the business at hand which is that the Seattle Seahawks have decided to release RB Lendale White after acquiring him for almost free in the draft.
He was debated to be the leading starter on the roster and he came into camp weighing about 220lbs. He looked to be in shape.
However, he wasn’t what the Seahawks were looking for, with or without Pete Carroll as their coach.
THE FACTS:
In college at USC and in his prime at Tennessee, White weighed about 260. He dropped his weight down to about 225-230 and he became a non-factor for the Titans.
This season, he came to camp weighing 219 and now the Seahawks are cutting him.
He is a “bruiser” style runner but without weight “bruisers” get pushed to the side. He has never been a quick step guy, or an agility guy. He just runs hard and between the tackles. Therefore, if his weight is 260 he is going to do some damage. If his weight is 220 he will get thrown around.
Looks like Justin Forsett is still the primary candidate to lead this team with Leon Washington and Julius Jones.
