And Tedric seeing so few passes come his way is, at least in part, an artifact of a gimpy and Tom Cable-coached Raiders O-line being unable to protect long enough to set up any deep routes.

The Rams were averaging 35+ a game before us, so it's no slight to Thompson and McDougald.

It isn't an endorsement, either. Giving up 33 points at home is not conducive to a...
Oh wait, never mind, we weren't expecting a playoff run, so it's ok for these guys to play the Brandon Browner deceptively-bad game. Cool.
Jury's still out on Tedric for me. I was sold on McDougald last year.

THAT'S what I like about how these guys are playing, stats aside.

I've actually seen some chatter about this on other boards. There's this grudging admiration that while it seems like every other team is afraid to play defense now, Seattle just continues to hit like it's the old days. I mean even when they hit the QB, they weren't exactly micromanaging their body weight.

It looks to me like our "system" creates stars not the other way around! It's too bad some of our stars didnt see it that way.
