Trufant did not start because he was on the Injured reserve list for the first 6 games of the season because of his back pain.
Leroy Hill was Franchised this past season by the Seahawks and Trufant and Hill was considered the best defenders on the Seahawks, Even over Lofa. And both Trufant and Hill both were put on the IR until this past week.
Kerney is on the downside of his career and has health issues but even so in this season he leads the Seahawks in Sacks in limited playing time.
Nate Burleson is the best WR on the Seahawks over T.J. Just look at the stats and Burleson has 38 catches with 487 yards 3 TD's while Fitz has 47 catches for 509 yards & 5 TD's.
Jon Ryan averages 45.6 yards a punt with 22 inside the 20.
Josh Wilson would have been the nickle back if Trufant was not hurt. The plan was Ken Lucas and Marcus Trufant starting while Josh Wilson would be the nickle back.
While I appreciate your effort but as soon as you said Trufant does not start anymore without the knowledge of him being on the Injured Reserve you lost all credibility IMO. At least for the NFC West and the Seahawks.

It looks better now. The only differences i have is i got C. Samuels as gold and L. Fletcher as silver, but that's only because Samuels has been to the most Pro Bowls on the team. Fletcher is probably playing the better ball right now.
I also have Jason C. with rocket arm or whatever it's called. He's probably got the 2nd stongest arm in the league behind Jamarcus Russel. I also use Carlos Rodgers instead of Andre Carter but it's really a toss up.
I would consider what you got right now to be just fine.

Trufant was on the Injured reserve list until this last week with back issues. Lets see what ESPN and Scout inc say about him...
2009 Scouting Report - Scouts Inc. Grade: 84 | Key
Comment: Trufant is a seven-year veteran who has been a durable and productive starter since he entered the league in 2003. He is a very good athlete who has the good solid size and enough speed to match up with an opponent's best receiver. He has very quick feet with excellent body control and route recognition. He can be physical with receivers up in press coverage or back off and show a solid understanding of zone concepts. He has very good burst and acceleration and has a solid feel for reaching in to make plays on the ball in the air. Trufant is also a willing tackler against the run and will come up quick to give perimeter support. Trufant has established himself as one of the leagues better starting CBs and teams are now starting to choose other areas of the field to attack and find a weakness.
Now if you don't know the Seahawks don't post.

Also for the record...
John Carlson is a budding star...
In his rookie season last year John Carlson had more yards and TD's than anybody else on the Seahawks team. Some of it has to do with all the injuries at WR but the fact still remains that Carlson lead the team and should be considered an option at both Bronze and Silver.

BTW you have Brian Mooreman on the Bills as a Gold Punter even though he is a fraction above Jon Ryan in average and has only 12 punts inside the 20 and you say no to Jon Ryan on the team period LOL.

that seems about right.He covers well,has very good speed but not "playmaker" ability.He has not really stood out in my OF either but I do notice that he is there.you could also give him coverage or leadersip.

You have Ray Rice as a Silver over Joe Flacco on the Ravens?
Jake Long was a Probowl alternate last year yet you have him as a Bronze on the Dolphins yet you had other O-Lineman on other teams as Golds?
Why is there such inconsistancy in your team builds? The best player are Golds no matter how the team is and if there is more Gold options than 2 spots than some get moved down to Silver but not Bronze or off the team.

Dwight Freeney with RIP???
Not trying to be a punk here but are you watching the same NFL as I am?
Dwight Freeney is known for his Speed and Spin move. He has a legendary spin move not a legendary RIP.
