# Michael Hanich: After Seattle's Week 5 loss to San Francisco, Hanich argued running back George Holani has become too much of a liability to keep on the 53-man roster, while Emanuel Wilson will likely remain the team's lead back until Jadarian Price or Zach Charbonnet return. **Claimed:** Oct 13, 2026 **Pundit:** Michael Hanich — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/michael-hanich **Outlet:** Sports Illustrated — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/sports-illustrated **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.si.com/nfl/seahawks/onsi/3-risers-and-fallers-after-seahawks-week-5-loss-vs-49ers 2 checkable claims — 1 depth chart call and 1 roster spot call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 3 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 1 of 2 have settled so far, averaging 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess at the same calls. Of the 1 unsettled call enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room. > It has now reached a point where Holani might be too much of a liability to keep on the 53-man roster and needs to be replaced. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **George Holani to make the roster** - Kind: Roster Spot Calls · About: George Holani, Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: scored 100 out of 100, against 100 for a naive guess - **Emanuel Wilson to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Emanuel Wilson, Seattle Seahawks - Verdict: not settled yet ## Who this take is about - George Holani — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/george-holani - Seattle Seahawks — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/seahawks - Emanuel Wilson — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/emanuel-wilson ## What others said about the same people - Nate Tice on Seattle Seahawks: Tice picked the Seahawks to beat the 49ers in Seattle in Week 5, citing Seattle's discipline, and said Seattle's defense is at worst the second-best in the league. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/8dd9735c-f718-4d9a-9693-d5fe6fa2547b (scored 0) - Bobby Kownack on Seattle Seahawks: Kownack picked all Week 5 games with scores, including the Browns winning at the Jets to reach 4-1, the Broncos handling the Chargers, and the Giants upsetting Washington. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/57789de7-9bc6-4cce-aacc-c088bd5aa6fe (scored 45.24) - Gennaro Filice on Seattle Seahawks: Filice picked every Week 5 game with scores, backing Cincinnati in a closer-than-expected game at Miami, the Patriots in a low-scoring home win, Houston to finally get off the schneid in Tennessee, and upsets by the Saints, Jets, Packers and Bills. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/7cc33db3-88e5-4811-8121-94bed7928d3a (scored 38.1) - Jeremy Pargo on Seattle Seahawks: Bergman picked winners and exact scores for every Week 5 game, siding with Jacksonville in London, the Saints over the unbeaten Vikings, the Jets over Cleveland and the Rams over Buffalo. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/eb5cd6ae-f2ad-49c8-909d-3ad73d196e72 (scored 47.62) - Dan Parr on Seattle Seahawks: Parr picked every Week 5 game with scores, leaning on Chicago's ground game at Lambeau, Seattle's defense against the unbeaten 49ers, and the Rams handling Buffalo on Monday night. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/0c10b52a-0a51-43ee-a55a-78a478f3c2b3 (scored 47.62) - Eric Moody on Seattle Seahawks: Moody gave final score picks for every Week 5 game, siding with the Bears at Green Bay, the Patriots over the Raiders, the Vikings staying unbeaten in New Orleans and the Falcons edging the Ravens. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/8b18af22-128d-4a43-9c55-860e5adc0bad (scored 50) ## More depth chart calls The same kind of call, about other players and teams. - Jordan Dajani on Drew Kendall: Dajani expects Cam Jurgens to move back to center as the Ravens' starter after the trade, and projects a rebuilt Eagles offensive line for Week 5 with Jordan Mailata, Willie Lampkin, Drew Kendall, Tyler Steen and Markel Bell starting from left tackle to right tackle. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/cad37b83-7924-4f90-9898-82a22fa12331 (scored 0) - Donnie Druin on Jacoby Brissett: Druin writes that despite the 1-3 start and a three-interception game, Jacoby Brissett will stay Arizona's starting quarterback heading into the Week 5 game against Detroit, with Gardner Minshew and rookie Carson Beck remaining behind him. — https://missedtakes.co/opinions/680ba698-8a2c-4d83-9b6b-9b90e7643a8c (scored 100) - Mike Moraitis on Tyson Bagent: Previewing the Bears-Packers Week 5 matchup, he states Tyson Bagent will again start at quarterback for Chicago, while framing Green Bay's receivers, pass defense and return game as threats.
