For those loyal two people that have read this blog from the beginning, you know I have a man crush on Mike Holmgren. The guy almost single-handedly willed my favorite football team out of a decade long sewer swim all the way to Super Bowl. It’s not only that, though,...
That folks, is why a pre-season football win is like eating chinese food for dinner; you feel happy and full when it’s finished, but start feeling empty not long after. The Seahawks had a number of things that looked good, but the things that matter most were concerning. SUMMARYYou can’t...
I did my best to give away my pre-season tickets to the game tonight against the Broncos, but fell a little short of my 50 Twitter follower goal (9 is close to 50, right?). Instead, I’m going to try and take my oldest boy to the game for the first...
The Broncos roll into town tonight for our pre-season home opener. I used to hate the Broncos. HATE THEM! After they handed us their first round pick for next year’s draft, I’ve grown a little fond. This team is in shambles. They were forced to trade away their talented QB...

Another player who was noticed on Saturday, but not discussed much was Michael Bennett. Here’s a guy who had 3 tackles and a sack and is getting almost no coverage as there is apparently only room to talk about the guy who has 2 tackles and 1 sack (Nick Reed)....
The only people less lucky than my buddies and I that went to the one rainy training camp day were the people who came the next day and found out practice had been moved inside due to the strains and slips from the wet grass. Between rain showers, however, a...
SUMMARYThat was fun. Way more fun than I expected a pre-season game to be. The top overall reaction was “solid.” The team played a sound game all the way around. The offense was predictably off-kilter, but was not dreadful, especially considering the offensive line shuffling that’s gone on. The defense...
