Young and Hungry or Old and Paid?

Kevin Calabro wants to see more youth on the field - not just to cultivate the future of the team. He's just not impressed with the effort that Deion Branch has put out on the field and would rather see guys like Deon Butler and Ben Obomanu get a chance on the field.

Kevin isn't wrong about Branch either - Seahawks Insider, Clare Farnsworth, joined him in studio and put it simply: "Deion is there, just gliding through life."

Mike Sando joined Kevin and Clare and weighed in on the Branch discussion, and isn't surprised by the impression Deion has left with them. "I just want to get the sense...that he just wants to be out there so bad. I just want to see more," says Sando.

Sando also weighed in on Jim Mora and his controversial comments regarding Olindo Mare after the loss to the Bears this weekend. "I thought he kind of failed a little test there."

As to whether or not Seneca Wallace is a pro-level quarterback, who can truly step in for Matt Hasselbeck, Kevin and Clare agree that they're two completely different athletes. Mike Sando's not sure what to think about Seneca, as he does something different each time he steps on the field.

Should Jim Mora have tempered his emotions better after the game? Do you want young talent on the field in place of Deion Branch? And what are your impressions of Seneca Wallace? Leave your comments below!

  Yes Mora should have, but it happened and we are moving on and maybe everyone is better for it... Yes I also would like to see more younger/cheaper options than some of the guys we currently have not just Branch, but yes Branch has burned all his bridges there time to let him go... And I believe Seneca should run more! The guy has the wheels supposedly so let him tear it up if nothing is open or instead of trying to fit a bad ball in a tight spot. I thought he did well when scrambling and will only get better with more time with these receivers. Honestly I think we pull away with a win in Indy, and I think Wallace is the main reason why.

  Old Pros in Hawks camp.

  Yeah, My sincere request to Tim Ruskell and Hawks front office. Please release these so called MVPs from past TJ Housh, Deion Branch and try to add some fresh and young talent in the RB, QB, O-line and WR positions into the team and vision for the 3-4 yrs down the road building a SB calibre team, rather than running around and signing this big pay discarded players by their old franchises. This might hurt them for now, but it will payoff coming down the road.

  Roster

  I think Ruskell doesn't want to admit he made a mistake trading a first round pick for branch. I have no idea how much money we would save cutting him, but at least we would open a roster spot for a younger guy. Some of these guys who are hurt all the time need to go also. I can't see any of that happening now. The best we can hope for is to get them healthy and hope we can win some games.

  young, restless & bold

  I AGREE 100% WITH KEVIN C- THE YOUNG ONES SHOULD GET LOOSE NOW TO FIND OUT IF THEY BELONG! THEY SHOULD & BE WILLING TO SHOW NOW WHAT THEY ARE GETTING PAID FOR- INSTEAD OF TRYING TO FORCE VETERANS TO REVIVE THEIR TALENTS, IT'S GETTING OLD-LITERALLY! ALSO,LET MIKE TEEL TAKE THE QB SPOT NOW- HE CAN DO IT!!!
