Seahawks WR Nate Burleson Close To 100%

[Coachnorm]

The Associated Press reports Seattle Seahawks WR Nate Burleson (knee) is running pass patterns again without any problem. Burleson, eight months removed from reconstructive knee surgery, is catching everything thrown his way, too. He has also been working as a cornerback on the scout-team. He was wearing a black brace over his knee and said he is not 100 percent yet.

They could be looking really stout on offense with newly acquired T.J., a healthy Nate and a healthy Branch to go with Carlson at TE.

If Hass and company emerge unscathed from training camp and the preseason, I look at him again at the tail end of the QB1's.

What is Burlesons role going to be this year?

Branch, Housh and him on the field together consistently? If so how will the spread look?

Any chance of Butler making an appearance this year?

 

[WesDawg]

I would defer to the Seattle faithful on that one, but if everyone's 100%, they'd be well served to go single RB, 3 Wides, and Carlson as their base set. That would really open up the box for JJ and Duckett. They have the personnel to run a traditional quick passing West Coast scheme.
Alot will depend on how the O-line jells, however.

Id expect to see Butler. One of these two wont stay healthy.

They'd be wise to use him as the primary return guy to keep Burleson fresher, and bring him in as a 4th WR when the need arises.

Nate Burleson is the greatest sleeper WR to never wake up.

 

[Runnik's Hambones]

Simply, the greatest sleeping receiver.

Same as previous years....flash in the pan.
