Obomanu Continues to Impress

In a Seahawks Team Report on SportingNews.com, Clare Farnsworth joined many other recent observers of Seahawks Passing Camp in praising Ben Obomanu: "Obomanu not only caught the ball well, but he also showed some run-after-the-catch ability, lowering his head and shoulders and driving for extra yards...Obomanu has a chance to not just stick but get some playing time if he continues his development and shows some consistency at training camp."

Obomanu has been making the most of his opportunities so far, while Skyler Fulton has yet to get on the field. Going into training camp, Obomanu has a huge lead as the sixth WR. Now, he is likely competing with a few DBs and possibly a sixth running back for the final two roster spots. My hope is that Leonard Weaver and David Kirtman both make the team, while Josh Scobey does not (meaning 5 RBs); and we keep Obomanu and either Jimmy Williams or Shaunard Harts in the secondary. If I had my dream scenario, we would trade a 6th round draft choice for Tim Rattay, and then we would drop David Greene off the roster. Seneca Wallace would then be free to play some other positions and get on the field more, but would remain as one of our 3 QBs. If we had a QB injury, Lulay could be brought up from the practice squad as our emergency QB.
