    Have the Seahawks drawn a single opposing holding penalty?

    They are both free plays if there isn't another reason to blow it dead: making an offensive player move, or unabated to the QB. I think he's referring to the fact that a couple of them should have been blown dead due to an OL moving. Still a defensive penalty, but no play should be allowed.

    It's a great playaction look all around. Does Bevell not understand that it's the LBs who are going to be out of position on PA more often than a deep safety is?

    It's the NFL. A receiver doesn't need to be looking at the time of release, and it's often necessary that he isn't.

    No offense, but nothing you're saying about this play is right. There are times when Bevell has routes too close together, but this isn't one of them. Graham's route goes to an area cleared out by Lockett and this is as open as a receiver gets in the NFL other than by blown coverage; he is...

    A stat that Pete talked about on Brock & Salk

    The turnover margin hasn't directly hurt us. What it tells you is that not all turnovers are the same and sometimes you sacrifice too much other stuff in overvaluing turnovers.

    A stat that Pete talked about on Brock & Salk

    Different discussion, but at least be willing to take a delay versus wasting a TO when you're about to punt anyway.

    Why isn't Lane back yet?

    I have to add to the calls of BS on that timetable. I had a fixator on for 10 weeks and it was at least that much again before I had anything resembling normal range-of-motion. Strength is another issue on top of that.

    I'd add in, and put it near #1, that they understand how much easier it is to ice a game offensively than it is to hold it with your defense. In other words, the best way to hold a lead is to keep buliding it. Also, their gameplans and in-game adjustments are flexible and take all personnel into...

    Haha... Clay Matthews

    How anybody can watch that hit and see it as anything other than intentionally dirty spearing is baffling to me.

    All 22 - Red Zone Only (keep it civil please)

    Play 1: Good call, good execution except Russ holds onto the ball when Doug should have it between the hashes 2: Poorly thrown fade, nothing else matters 3: Terrible, terrible choice on where to go with the ball. Fairly easy TD throw available. 4: Read-option that should have been kept. A...

    Russ holding the ball too long

    I have to disagree with that "undisputed" part. There's still quite a few who would go with Rodgers. Also, it absolutely is largely due to getting the ball out quickly, and while their protection has improved it's not elite and he's not chilling back there with loads of time to survey the field...

    Fieldgulls: Bad O-Lines a league-wide problem

    Between this and the shortage of competent QBs, that's a couple major illustrations of why the league needs to expand rosters and by more than a couple. Players at these positions need development time and continuity, which are lost even more by the contact limitations on practices. Thursday...

    Hypothetical Question . . . Margin of victory

    Why are we only worried about compounding them with "overly" aggressive play? If you really pay attention, overly conservative play does at least as much to compound mistakes and cost games. It also reduces the margin of error and when you're the significantly better team, that just makes it...

    Heath Evans says the Seattle Seahawks will finish 9-7

    What exactly do you mean by "safe bet?"

    Some observations off the cuff

    Great overall observation, with a couple quibbles. The lack of deep threat thought is crazy, especially considering Lockett as not up to that use. Who have been the Hawks best deep ball threats recently? Tate, Kearse, and Baldwin have been effective when deep shots have been called at the right...

    McGill, Obum, Lambert and Staten claimed

    Add me to the group baffled by leaving McGill available. I thought he looked pretty good, and all those other positives mentioned, especially with the potential of Mebane being a short-timer from here out. I'd throw in Dobbs with King as choices for the guy to swap out. The other guys feel like...

    Some SEA cap analysis via FG

    It still basically comes down to the simple concepts of being right in your player scouting as much as possible and allocate the money/cap accordingly. Their methods have been techniques to mitigate potential mistakes in that regard are also illustrations of where the convention has put too much...

    Darnell Dockett

    I think a better way to look at it is that results mean nothing. It is very common to confuse performance and results with each other. And in the preseason, even performance should be viewed with strong consideration to context (for all the reasons listed above).

    Christine Michael

    Some of this thread is a little ridiculous. I finally got around to watching the game and the fumble was the only negative. Not many guys would take that early touch and turn -2 into +5 so well and even his pass pro was good. Rawls was in when the O in general actually sustained something, but...
