at free safety The Seattle Seahawks have an ongoing war with Earl Thomas http://www.authenticsseattleseahawks.com/cheap-sebastian-janikowski-jersey , but Tedric Thompson is doing his best to win the battle.With Thomas continuing to holdout for a new contract or a trade, and Maurice Alexander missing most of training camp due to injuries, Thompson has done enough to earn first-team snaps at free safety over teammate Delano Hill, who would be slotted as a strong safety with Bradley McDougald moving over to free. While Pete Carroll has seemed a little more blunt than usual in his criticisms of players like Germain Ifedi and Alex McGough, he was unrestrained in his compliments for Thompson during an appearance on 710 ESPN on Tuesday morning:Carroll did not call Thompson, “a standout” but “the standout” at a time when Chris Carson is just lighting it up. If Carroll is to be believed — and I’m sure conspiracy theorists would argue he’s just building a stronger case against the need for Earl to return — then perhaps the Seahawks actually have found their free safety of the future. And maybe they don’t feel a need for Thomas to return soon.That being said http://www.authenticsseattleseahawks.com/cheap-j.r.-sweezy-jersey , I still do expect Earl Thomas to be Seattle’s starting free safety in 2018.No apparent bad blood between the two, Thompson has been saying that Earl is still giving him guidance and advice while away from the team. He may be grooming him now to not replace him somewhere down the line, but immediately. And while nobody could reasonably argue that the Seahawks will be better off with Thompson and McDougald than they were with Thomas and Kam Chancellor, it seems that they’re at least starting to get comfortable with the idea. That wasn’t something a lot of people were saying even a week ago. Now Thompson just needs to ride it out for another month.Update: Earl Thomas suffers a fractured lower left leg, will be placed on IR Update: The worst was feared when Earl Thomas got carted off against the Cardinals, and it was confirmed during Pete Carroll’s post game press conference. Thomas has suffered a fractured lower left leg Seahawks Germain Ifedi Jersey , the same leg he injured in December of 2016. Thomas will be placed on injured reserve, almost certainly ending his season and perhaps time with the Seahawks. Original post: In a cruel twist of fate, Earl Thomas suffered a leg injury against the Arizona Cardinals and was carted off. Breaking on Josh Rosen’s touchdown pass in the fourth quarter, Thomas’s leg appeared to go limp as he fell over Chad Williams.As Thomas was getting attention from the medical staff, Seahawks players from both offense and defense gathered around Thomas and took a knee. Cardinals players came over from the sideline, as well. Thomas was eventually loaded onto a cart with an air cast on his leg. Unlike Dissly http://www.authenticsseattleseahawks.com/cheap-bobby-wagner-jersey , Thomas wasn’t ruled out immediately. At the time of publishing, he’s listed as doubtful to return. Of course, it doesn’t look good for Thomas. An update should be provided after the game.
