Not a ton to say about a game that had so few starters involved, but here are my takeaways: – Duckett and Forsett have swapped roster spotsThis is dramatic turnaround from the first two games. Forsett choked. Duckett stepped it up. I still don’t believe Duckett adds much, but he...
So here we are. The final dress rehearsal before the 2008 season officially begins. The most important thing in the final game has absolutely nothing to do with performance or roster spots. It’s all about staying healthy. Luckily, our offensive and defensive MVPs will not be manning their positions, so...
As I’ve detailed in the past, rushing defense is perhaps the most telling indicator of a Seahawks victory. Until getting gashed for 130 yards by the Chargers running game, there were signs of a step forward. The Hawks currently rank 4th in the NFL in rush defense (77.7 YPG) and...
There was enough correlation between pre-season rushing stats and regular season rushing stats in 2007 that I wanted to look a little further. I will try to find some time to follow up with run defense and pass defense in subsequent posts. Passing is quite a bit different than rushing...
Is there anymore annoying reason to struggle punting and kicking than a bad long snapper? Not in my book. Well, the Hawks released some bad news today about the guy they drafted to solve the snapping problems. I don’t think Tim Lindsey has been very good, but we did see...
The man, the myth is back in the blogosphere. Mike Sando is adding his unbeatable analysis about the NFC West on his ESPN blog. Mike is the guy that got me into this stuff, and was the first person to post a comment on my blog. He’s a good guy,...
The Hawks are 3-0 in my book. Maybe we should thank that ref for making a crap pass interference call on Hobbs and a crap TD call one play later because it takes the pressure off our win streak. Joking… For the third straight game, the Hawks played with regular...
This is an open thread for gameday. I’ll be here throughout the game tonight for anyone that wants to chat. 2PM UPDATE:Holy moly. Guess where the Seahawks rank so far in the pre-season in yards rushing. Go on, guess. Wrong. They rank #1 in the NFL (201.5 yds/game). Now guess...
It’s been a week or so since the story broke that there will be no Metro shuttle bus service to and from the Hawks games this season due to a horrible new law that requires teams to open their transportation needs to private companies. If a private company makes a...
I wouldn’t write a Seahawks blog if I wasn’t a little obsessive, right? After declaring the kicking battle to be the most crucial, I couldn’t help but Google Mare and Coutu to see if either were well known for onsides kicking. I don’t know about you, but I’ve always been...
