Knight is finally healthy

wow, I knew about his knee, but a heart issue? Him getting healthy is huge for the hawks.

'Resilience' pays off for Seattle Seahawks LB Tyrice Knight

After a trying past few months, linebacker Tyrice Knight stayed the course and delivered two of the biggest plays in the Seattle Seahawks' rout of Arizona.

He looked good last game.

He looked really good. The defense as a whole did even missing key players.

The Kid had a hell of a game. Getting one strip sack for a TD is rare, but two in one game is unheard of, I don't believe I have ever seen that..

I was following the game on ESPN's game cast, and when the 2nd one happened, I was wondering if they made an error in posting the same play twice. I found it hard to believe that the same type of play involving the same 2 players happened twice in one game.

It's been good to see him bounce back this year after a rough start.

I find it hilarious that (according to Mac's discussion with Brock and Salk) Knight actually played these "incorrectly". The defense is taught NOT to go for the hand when you're going straight at the QB like that - it's too likely that the defender's hand will come down on the QB's head and draw a penalty, so they teach them to lower the hands and just wrap up the QB. They're taught to go for the ball when they're coming at the QB from the side or back.

So technically....Knight screwed up. Mac wasn't complaining in the interview, clearly, but I'm curious if there were "you got lucky, don't do that" kind of discussions. Or, "keep getting lucky just like that".

Evidently Knight knows how to do it w/o getting the penalty...I'd give him the freedom to continue until he gives a reason not to.

Great insight. Thanks.

I totally agree. Some guys just have a knack. Let him keep doing it until he proves it was just luck the two times.

Knight and Jones were a pretty good pair of LBs over the 2nd half of last season.

With Knight being fully healthy, and Thomas up and coming, and the steadiness of Ernest, Do we now have 3 starting ILB's?...
