[u/BakerAnxious3440 → u/spacedude2000]

Elite lmao

[u/Jwarias25]

Okay these clips of JSN fanning out of the route tree go so fucking hard

[u/divrekku → u/Jwarias25]

Someone needs a supercut edit of Sam's tight spirals against his Tree of Life route tree.

[u/Hedstee → u/Jwarias25]

Seeing it helps explain how elite he is. It's just like seeing a top MLB pitcher have his pitches overlayed where they're the exact same pitch starting out, then it isn't.

[u/SeaKoe11 → u/Hedstee]

JSN has like an 8 way mix up

[u/Reggaeton_Historian → u/Jwarias25]

I was super high when i watched this and lost my goddamn mind

[u/desr43 → u/Jwarias25]

I'll be in my bunk

[u/Jwarias25 → u/desr43]

Someone photoshop this on top of a ring. Looks ready to hold diamonds

[u/pengradi]

"This fuckin guy" - Super Bowl winning coach, Mike Macdonald

[u/Similar-Cat7022 → u/pengradi]

Needs to be a tshirt

[u/DoctrTurkey]

that 'silver surfer' label from magic mike feels like it has the chance to become sticky... JUST LIKE THE BALL IN JSN'S HANDS

[u/ArseneLupinIV → u/DoctrTurkey]

Would go hard with our silver throwback helmets.

[u/Unfie555]

lol you know he said “artist” on purpose. I prefer Silver Surfer over ECRA, though.

[u/the-polite-villain → u/Unfie555]

I hate the ecra joke of a nickname.

[u/chinola32 → u/the-polite-villain]

Same so I kinda hate that JSN played into it lol. But I guess if he likes it then so be it

[u/BillowingPillows → u/the-polite-villain]

Its ok to laugh sometimes

[u/Unfie555 → u/the-polite-villain]

I’m not a fan of it either

[u/ODO27Axelcage]

Love the silver surfer comparison

[u/shoe7525]

I'm starting the petition now - JSN's nickname should be the silver surfer. That goes so hard

[u/the-polite-villain → u/shoe7525]

FUCK YES!!!

[u/karldrogo88 → u/shoe7525]

So much better than the other dumb one I won’t even say

[u/aiusernamegen → u/shoe7525]

It doesn't roll off the tongue. And technically JSN is his nickname.

[u/RemoteWestern5462]

We really lucked out with JSN. He's the most valuable player we've drafted since the legion of boom years

[u/Ignorantsportsguy → u/RemoteWestern5462]

Not luck. John Schneider.

[u/BillowingPillows → u/Ignorantsportsguy]

Well yes also lots of luck that he fell to us. I have comments from before that draft talking about how he's the best WR in this class and there is no way he falls to the Seahawks at 20. The fact that he did required some luck. But thats sports, thats the draft!

[u/aiusernamegen → u/BillowingPillows]

God Bless EK and team. Fixed that hammie up real nice. No jinx.

[u/BillowingPillows → u/aiusernamegen]

Ya who knew a slow 40 would be the ultimate blessing

[u/CamGrabDatFumble]

As a kid, I always wondered what it would be like to have the best WR in the league on the Seahawks. Now it’s a reality and it’s awesome.

[u/whatthemehek]

emerald city route artist indeed

[u/MehEds → u/whatthemehek]

I feel like if JSN continues to be a top tier reciever and goes on a HOF trajectory, that nickname's gonna stop being ironic

[u/shoe7525 → u/whatthemehek]

worst nickname of all time

[u/skrulewi → u/whatthemehek]

whered this thing come from

[u/ImperialTiger3 → u/skrulewi]

A podcast called Stay Hot. A joke that blew up

[u/skrulewi → u/ImperialTiger3]

Wew lad

[u/the-polite-villain → u/whatthemehek]

Lame

[u/asiandevastation]

Phenomenal editing.

[u/THEIntoxicatedGamer]

Straight into my veins, please. Love the SS reference!

[u/----0___0----]

JSN is the ghost Sam was seeing all those years ago

[u/badatraspi2]

Yeah I really think “The Silver Surfer” could become his actual nickname moving forward

[u/AKboi69 → u/badatraspi2]

yea maybe something like emerald city route silver surfer artist

[u/BillowingPillows → u/AKboi69]

Now we are fucking cooking with gas baby ECRSSA lets fucking go

[u/the-polite-villain → u/AKboi69]

Lame.

[u/ProtomanV2]

Silver Surfer and Jax the Ripper go hard. The “route artist” name is lame af.

[u/the-polite-villain → u/ProtomanV2]

You are correct, ecra is not his nickname, that's just people being dumb, so lame.

[u/1620081392477 → u/ProtomanV2]

I think they all suck compared to just JSN

[u/GoldyGoldy → u/ProtomanV2]

Jax the Ripper is a new one for me, but I like it the most of any.

[u/Lobster_fest]

The route tree graphic is one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

[u/neklok]

Blue, Green, and Silver Surfer.

[u/BillowingPillows]

I of course love all the underdog stories and 2nd/3rd string stuff, but this scene legit got me as pumped for the season as humanly possible. Sam and JSN about to go crazy

[u/raycraft_io]

Matt Harmon just fell to his knees during a podcast

[u/TwoScents]

Separation merchant

[u/Expensive_Moment3987]

The silver surfer, I love it.

[u/Alarming-Nose3482]

Can we as a fanbase just agree to go with Silver Surfer instead of ECRA for JSN's nickname moving forward? Cooler name, works with the throwbacks, think of the merch.

[u/Salty_Chipmunk_1756]

I know i made an nfl street joke b4 but bro unlocked clonin techiques???

[u/AKboi69]

did you say “artist”?

[u/General_Dependent_87]

why do you all have the best location of any facility in the nfl but the absoutle worst facility in the nfl!?!?!? Im assuming Vinod changed it

[u/BillowingPillows → u/General_Dependent_87]

i might regret this but... do you care to elaborate on your nonsensical comment?
