A Tampa Bay beat writer who covered Kellen Winslow during his time with the Buccaneers describes the Seahawks' new tight end as a hard worker, competitive, accountable and someone who cares about winning and his legacy.

"He's got -- for whatever reason and I'm not sure why -- he's got this image out in the public of being a trouble maker or not being a conformist or anything like that," Roy Cummings of the Tampa Tribune told "Bob and Groz" on Tuesday.

With potential concerns about Winslow's attitude eased, Bob Stelton and Dave Grosby say in the video below that there isn't much to dislike about the trade that sends him to the Seahawks.

The Mariners scored 20 runs and allowed just seven during their three-game sweep of the Colorado Rockies over the weekend.

In the video below, Bob Stelton and Dave Grosby agree that the Mariners' efforts shouldn't be discounted because they came against a last-place team.

The NFL's new collective bargaining agreement included a significant reduction in offseason programs, a change that was designed to curb injuries by reducing wear and tear on players' bodies.

Seahawks fullback Michael Robinson sees another long-term benefit: players will be better prepared for life after football.

"I think it's awesome. I think it gives guys time to focus on something other than football," Robinson told "Bob and Groz" this week. "You look at things that have happened with retired players and things like that. We talk about it all the time, you just can't make football your life.

"At some point everybody's going to get cut. At some point everybody's going to have to give this game up. And you don't want -- when football [ends] -- you don't want to feel like your life has been ended. You want to have something that you're still passionate about."

Bob Stelton and Dave Grosby share their thoughts on that topic in the video below.

Manager Eric Wedge has made it abundantly clear that Ichiro isn't producing enough runs while hitting third in the Mariners' lineup.

"We have got to have more out of the three hole hitter, especially a veteran guy with all these young kids surrounding him. That's the bottom line. If not, we are going to have to make a change," Wedge said Thursday morning, a day after Ichiro went 0-for-3 with runners in scoring position.

Ichiro then went 0-for-6 in Thursday's 6-5 loss, coming up hitless all for times he had runners in scoring position.

In the video below, Bob Stelton and Dave Grosby say they've seen enough of Ichiro in the three hole.

The Mariners planned to work Jesus Montero in steadily behind the plate, but Miguel Olivo's groin injury has forced the 22-year-old rookie into a starting role.

That's provided more opportunity to dissect Montero's defense, which was dismissed as inadequate by numerous analysts following the trade that sent him to Seattle.

In the video below, Bob Stelton and Dave Grosby agree that while Montero's defense hasn't been as bad as advertised, he still would be better off playing another position.

Russell Wilson worked his way into the Seahawks' quarterback competition after -- in the words of Clare Farnsworth -- he "blew their socks off" during the team's rookie minicamp over the weekend.

Wilson, a third-round pick, will now vie with Matt Flynn and Tarvaris Jackson for the starting job.

Bob Stelton and Dave Grosby both think a three-way competition at quarterback will make it difficult to determine the best option.
