Hey Fellow 12's.
This is obviously a HUGE game coming up Monday Night and since we know the Hawks themselves will be ready to go ... I just wanted to re-visit something that might prove useful in making the 12th Man's effectiveness in this game all that much greater.
For those who never saw this the first time around (and for those who did and might need a reminder), Matt Hasselbeck produced this little How To/When To video for the Colts fans regarding crowd noise. He gives specific instructions on exactly WHEN to get loud ... and just how much that can truly affect the effectiveness of a given play. If you've not seen it, go ahead and click the link below ...

So, just prior to the snap is a naturally a good time to get loud, as that can help induce false starts. BUT, there are even BETTER times to be at max volume. They are ...
1) When the play is being called in from the sideline. You see that QB having his hands up over the earholes of his helmet, THAT's one time to scream your freaking lungs out because the play is getting called in from the coaching staff.
2) IN THE HUDDLE. If the QB is trying to communicate the play to the rest of the team ... and one of 2 members (say WR's) hear a DIFFERENT play and run the wrong route, the play can easily be busted, which can lead to sacks, turnovers, etc.
I just wanted to remind those who are going to the game about this ... as perhaps you can help instruct your section and the people around you of the importance of getting loud at key times.
I know with Guinness being at the game, I don't think there's going to be much more motivation needed for Monday Night. I was just trying to think of ways to give the Seahawks and the 12th Man every advantage possible in this game.
