    Time for Pete to let go...

    Pete Carroll is a defensive coach, we know, he knows, everyone knows. His defense is built on 2 principles: 1- stop the run 2-dont get beat deep He then filters his ideal offense thru his vision of defense: If defense must stop the run, He wants to run it. If defense must protect against the...

    The PC philosophy

    Lots has been said, often, about the Pete Carroll philosophy . . . run the ball, play stifling defense, and shorten the game. And it has worked, mostly, for the Seahawks. But ... I feel the team does not have the personnel on offense to carry out half of that plan, and the trap I feel Pete is...

    Gameplanning nightmare

    Every week you hear the pundits talking . . if team A can account for player B, then they can exploit the defense and score some points. Against Seattle, they have to account for B, C, D E, and then F! Just up the middle, you have: Bennet (sometimes, other times on edge) Wagner Kam Earl That...

    Shotgun early snap . .

    Saw again in this Monday night game . . Rivers moving up to make a line call, and the center snaps the ball. Rivers was lucky and caught it, then got a PI gift, but here is my issue: If the QB is moving forward when the ball is snapped, is that not illegal procedure? I was under the impression...

    It will be really hard for Seattle to repeat . . .

    I see that posited all the time, and my only thought in reply to that statement is: Hmmm, I am pretty sure Seattle is the ONLY team in the NGL with any chance at ALL of repeating! Eat a bowl of _____ media guys, of course it will be difficult, but there is only one team that gets to try.

    Thank goodness I work nights

    4:15 am, I am at work, and glad of it . . no way in hell I would be able to sleep right now, as geeked up as I am for the game today. I usually try to get a nap before the afternoon game, when the Hawks don't play in the morning, but I can feel already there will be no skleep for me today...

    MY own hopelessly ameteur impressions Hawks vs Saints

    This may be reduntant, but I'm going to post it anyhow, just to get it off my mind. I'll start by saying I avoid these boards during gameday, any more, as it just distracts me from paying attention to the game, and I also enjoy forming my own impression of the day before I come here and see...

    two kinds of teams

    bored on the bye, and came up with another stoopid theory . . . you lucky guys get to hear it! So I decided there are 2 kinds of teams in the NFL: 1--- teams that get pumped up to play the good teams 2--- The teams other teams get pumped up to play for years and years, the Seahawks have been a...

    Whine, no cheese

    I feel like a whiner here, but I am lazy, so here goes. Whoever the .Net code guru is, do you think it is possible to code in an option button that would automatically let me delete any instance of the words "superb owl" and replace them with, well, pretty much anything? I am sure I am a...

    Russell continues to progress

    forgive me if there is a mention of this farther back. Today I was super impressed with how Russ is putting it all together. Last week we saw him make a concerted effort to stand firm and deliver the ball in the face of the rush. This week, he mixed it up masterfully. I saw occasions where he...

    All the bad things

    I am seeing a trend in some poster's thinking, where they cry to the heavens about any mistake the 'Hawks make, while brushing away any mistake the other team makes. What if Fitz doesn't gift Earl a pick? What if the other guy didn't totally blow it? what if what if what if? Then they go on...

    Red Zone int

    So, 4 games in, and in each game we have a red zone int. This is a trend I am loving, and I look forward to seeing it comtinue. I must admit though, I was a little miffed when the int happened so early in the game. I was hoping it would season up a little, and then burst at a time when it...

    Question about a couple calls in the JAX game

    Two (non) calls stood out to me yesterday, please tell me if I am mistaken. First, Jax WR has foot out of bounds, then catches ball . . refs call it incomplete. Isn't that supposed to be an illegal touch or something? I am sure there is a rule where a guy cannot go out of bounds then be first...

    JS v Ruskell, or Team building 101

    I read the article Beer Hawk linked, and it spurred a thought I want to share. It is no secret that this Seahawks team has an attitude, one we are all loving. It is also no accident. Start with Ruskell. His trademark was safety ... good character guys with minimal downside. He hit on a few...

    A fun tin foil hat thought

    So, was thinkin yesterday about Wilson, Flynn, the draft, and JS. And I recall reading something once about Pete or John being interviewed at the combine, with Russle RIGHT THERE behind, and how they prolly had to work hard to not look too interested in him. What if . .. . Signing Matt Flynn...

    Synergy, and our 'Hawks

    Here are some more thoughts that have been rattling around in my head, kind of in order as they tumble: 1.The season started, imo,with a lot of optimism, but reasonably modest expectations. We returned a fantastic defense from last year, as well as an established run game and an O line that was...

    My theory on "who gets to win"

    I have had this thought tumbling around in my head for a while, and decided I need to let it roll on out. The NFL appears to play favorites . . who gets the calls that let them advance? The golden boys . . Eli and the Gints, Peyton, Brees somewhat, tho he is tarnished now. The Steelers, The...

    New this week

    It has seemed lately that Pete and Russ roll out a new erinkle each week, addfing more and mot\re to the offenses arsenal. My guess for this week is we will see more audible work at the line from Russell. He has already been calling protections and such ,And I think this game is a perfect time...
