Jerry Brewer of the Seattle Times quoted Richard Sherman in talking about the offense taking the charge




I think this team grew yesterday on levels we may not have imagined.

Red Bryant nearly gave Russell Wilson a hug after that game winning touchdown. Sherman, the guy who could be pointed to for possibly "putting it out there" with any frustrations between the O and the D is now the guy who has "trust" in the kid and I love it. I think Brewers right, this is now a complete team.

what do you guys think?

Rebuild over.

Yep, close the lid.

Not quite. Wilson needed the space afforded by bad defenses to work on his timing and chemistry, but these last two victories did happen against awful pass defenses. He might revert a bit vs SF (#6 pass defense per DVOA).

I think we'll need some time (and some more reloading on offense) to finish becoming a consistent offense that will play together for years. But we're definitely getting there. Rice, Miller, and Baldwin will be part of it.

Their run defense was stellar though. They made us pretty one dimensional. It's not like we gashed them for 5 yards per clip 5 times in a row, then Wilson hucked it deep. More like we ran the ball for 2, and then Wilson threw deep despite a whole bunch of pressure.

yup, IF we lose next week, "start flynn?" "season over" "back to last place in division" "Is the defense really that good?"
"Our WR's cant get open" "NO PASS RUSH!!!" "how long do we give carroll?"

Thursday we play the #1 ranked defense. It is SF now right? Time for the offense to shred the 49rs D and put ours back on top where it belongs! Synergy baby. It's building in Seattle. Go Hawks!

Of course the offense will "regress" a bit next week. At least we can't expect the same statistical results. They're going to look worse, even if there is continued progress. That's what playing a #1 defense will do for you. No need to panic, though. Even with a horrible offensive effort, there won't be cause for panic. We're still right on schedule, still progressing, still building.

If we pull the upset win there, though, or even come close, there will be reason for great optimism. Not every day a team plays two stellar teams - the #1 offense and then the #1 defense in the league - back to back and comes out at worst case scenario 1-1 against them.

Trust in the offense, that they're growing and able to come back, put points on the board, is huge. In spite of struggles at times this year, the offense has still been in a position to win the game at the end of every single game. Every single game we've been in it to win, right to the final seconds. And that is huge.

What is this about "putting it out there" by Sherm regarding frustrations with the offense? Am I missing something? I don't recall anything he has said that points to him being frustrated with the offense. When was this?

Neither have I. Maybe he's referring to his outspoken nature and if anyone would speak out about the offensive woes, it would be Sherm. I don't see it. Sherms always talking about "US" and he clearly is a great team mate and intelligent.

Ding ding ding ding

i believe it was during week 4 against the rams sherman made a comment post interview saying the defense only gave up 6 points and did everything they needed but the offense needed to step it up. some people said he was throwing them under the bus but he was just "puting it out there"
