How much did Seahawks miss Winslow in opener?

listen Listen: Could the Seahawks re-sign Kellen Winslow?

John Clayton talks about the difference Kellen Winslow could have made in the Seahawks' season-opening loss to Arizona and whether re-signing the tight end is an option now that receiver Charly Martin is injured (12:34).

By Brady Henderson

The Seahawks had seven chances to find the end zone on their final drive once they got inside Arizona's 20.

What they didn't have was the big body and sticky hands of tight end Kellen Winslow, who was released a week before Sunday's season-opening loss because of his refusal to take a pay cut.

Winslow had a workout with the Patriots but remains unsigned. When coach Pete Carroll was asked Monday whether re-signing him is a consideration now that Seattle will be without receiver Charly Martin, Carroll said "everybody is a possibility at this point, yeah."

How much of a difference would Winslow have made on Sunday? Bob Stelton and Dave Grosby discuss that question in the video below.

+ 6 cups of Top Pot running straight down the field sounds good to me at this point.

Are these guys this lame in trying to fill airtime????

September 11, 2012 6:00 am

Wow. This is silly. Instead of focusing on how flat the seahawks were in the 1st half, where if we had of played like we did with our starters in the preseason - in other words, like we did for most of the 2nd half - this game would not have been close, we would not have had to think about whether Winslow was there or not.... it's not about whether one guy was there or not. it's about how the entire team played. They were NOT what they should have been in the first half or for a good part of the 4th quarter. If they had of been - the game would have been very, very different. let's focus there instead of on this lame second guessing garbage.

No Big Tight Ends hurts

September 11, 2012 8:13 am

Winslow would have at least given Russell another option. As it was, the receivers really let us down. There should have been at least 2 TD's there at the end, Rice & Edwards both had catchable balls...oh well...without a tight end, we will not have that option... We just will not be undefeated this year....this week should be an improvement...let's hope the team comes out breathing fire.....

WE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM THIS YEAR

September 11, 2012 11:04 am

OK, from my viewpoint, and my humble opinion, one of the glaring problems we had last year was not fixed and it appears we have the same glaring problem again this year. And that problem is our offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell. When a team gets inside the red zone and has what, 10-15 shots at the end zone plus 3 pass interfearance calls and an extra time out and still can't finish it, that is COACHING AND PLAY CALLING. As long as we have Bevell calling the plays, we will be 7-9 or 8-8 at best. He couldn't do it at Minnesota and he is dragging the Seahawks down with his poor performance. Sorry, he just doesn't get it and that will cost us the season. I would love to see the Z man Jim Zorn come back. He wasn't ready to take on the head coaching job at Washington, but when he was our QB coach and assistant OC we went to the superbowl - Just saying

I said ASSISTANT OC. You need to check your facts. During his time in Seattle, Zorn worked with Seahawks Head Coach Mike Holmgren and Offensive Coordinator Gil Haskell in implementing the team’s offense while also furthering the development of the team’s quarterbacks. In this capacity, we had our one and only Superbowl game. Just the facts there bud.

Bring back Winslow

September 11, 2012 11:25 am

He would have caught that last pass at the goal line. I promise you had the situation been reversed, Larry Fitzgerald would have made that catch. Bring back Kellen Winslow.

The point is Moot. Typical sports talk making something out of nothing.

September 11, 2012 12:24 pm

They already have a big, pass-catching tight end in Zach Miller. They just don't use him. How would Winslow have made any difference?

Zach Miller

September 11, 2012 1:14 pm

Zach's biggest strength is blocking. Kellen's strength is catching the ball. Did you see us in the red zone in the 4th quarter? Winslow would have given Russell a big target over the middle. Arizona would have had to account for Winslow. He is a threat. Simple as that. If we had Winslow on our team in game 1 vs. the Cards we are 1-0.
