Lendale White!

[626CABRONCFAN]

On the verge of being released by the titans nfl.com has posted.....what you think?

[ebsoria]

I say- welcome to the boards!!!!!

[TD30*]

seahawks you mean

if carroll doesnt want him...i dont want him. Carroll's the one guy that would know if white's worth a roster spot (and also give him the most leeway to give him a chance)...especially with julius jones being their starter.

[-Rod-]

Maybe if he can play FB. How fat is he?

[owninit]

a player that seems to be on a free fall being brought back to his home town, would go either epicly well, or epicly bad.....

Actually apparently his weight is no longer the issue

The Seattle Seahawks have formally announced the release of running back LenDale White.

And this time they won't be taking it back.

"It became apparent at this time that LenDale was not ready to be a member of the Seattle Seahawks," Seahawks G.M. John Schneider said in the team's statement. "It just did not appear to be the right fit at this point in our program. We wish LenDale all the best with his future."

The Seahawks acquired White in a trade with the Tennessee Titans during the NFL draft, and it's not clear why the team decided to get rid of him a month later. Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, who also coached White at USC, had indicated that he was excited about being reunited with his old running back, and reports out of Seattle indicated that White was no longer struggling with his weight.

But whatever the reasons, White is now an unrestricted free agent, available to any team that wants him. We know the Titans and Seahawks don't.

Lendale white?

Just saw, on espn nfl, that he has been released so assuming westbrook signs elsewhere, what do y'all think about "Smash & Flash" lol in denver in 2010 (moreno is flash)

He probably wants to be the starter. And Seattle has a crowded backfield. He might be in shape but he does not bring the kind of mentality McDaniels wants. White did not want to be CJ's backup anymore, so I guess he does not want to be anyone's backup. The problem is that I don't see a team signing him as a starter. Maybe the Lions will be interested in him since K. Smith is still injured and he can split carries with J. Best.

White, a four-year NFL veteran, has been a divisive force in the past. He often clashed with coaches in Tennessee and was questioned for his attitude, work ethic and willingness to take instruction. He also has struggled with weight issues, but he entered Seahawks workouts at 219 pounds and said this week that he planned to play at 228.

I think Lendale White is a bit of a head-case...

[KennyCS]

Maybe they could teach him to lead-block.

Lions traded back into the first round to get best. he's gonna be the starter. i think some team with a bad run game will sign him. Texans are possible. white might be interested in coming to the broncos. he did grow up in denver.

#27 is flash?? How will that work? Besides I think that Lendale is faster than #27.

Either way this would be a stupid pick up. The few things that Lendale does well are the things that #27 does well. Neither are break away guys, neither are great blitz pick up guys, neither are good in the open field.... So really all lendale would do is take carries away from #27 in the red zone. Which isn't a bad thing cause it would limit the punishment that #27 has to take.....But still just not worth the headache

[sadom422]

Your right....something is wrong, but look at it this way, our biggest problem was short yardage, I can think of 3 losses vividly(eagles, oakland, and washington) now lendale will help with that, he obviously has some work ethic, he lost 30 pounds just to compete with chris johnson, but look I think gameplan wise he help with a big PROVEN back(aimed at undrafted rookie tony baker) think of the future of tebow wit our new huge, but athletic line, on the goalline can you say wrecking ball? Lol

[Hoserman117]

This guy is an idiot. I'm sure they let him go for attitude reasons. That's an instant no-no for us.

#27 is flash??

Yea I mean he did win the rookie touchdown celebration competition last year so, yea he could be flash, its more about him being in denver than the nickname man, sence of humor amyone???
