Seahawks LB Uchenna Nwosu Named NFC Defensive Player Of The Week

Schneider and Carroll have done it again with this acquisition!

 

[FattyKnuckle]

I wasn’t able to follow pre-season all that closely so I was watching Monday night thinking who the hell is 10?! Dude was all over the place. Looks like an exciting player with a fantastic motor.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Not bad for his first ever game in Seattle. Kid was all over the place. Love that energy. I also remember Chargers fans being pretty bummed when he left.

 

[Lagartixa]

Zorn was my first sports hero, so I mean it as a major compliment when I say I'm fine with Nwosu using "Zorn's" uniform number.

He looks like Jamal covering ground like that. I'm excited to watch him this year!

Uchenna Nwosu is the NFC defensive player of the week

Linebacker Uchenna Nwosu played his first game for the Seahawks, but his debut for a new team wasn't the big headline heading into Monday night's game.

Another pickup that some claimed was tier B... just another guy. The dude is a gamer and that play in particular was critical.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Did people say he was just another guy? I need to go find the old thread. I remember listening on 710 when they had some Chargers media types saying that it was a huge loss to that team. And that he's a hell of a player. He looked like Dunlap running around out there. Crazy fast, disruptive, and just consistently causing problems.
But you're probably right, pretty much anything the team does gets met with "this guy sucks, they should have grabbed x player"
And yes, I have been guilty of saying Geno is average at best, so I do get how it sounds coming from me
Also, I believe he's only 26 years old.

Our friend from Kansas did.

I wasn’t paying attention to the pick up…damn sure am now.

What a great addition and first game!!

One Denver fan behind us: "Who the hell is #10? Is someone going to block him at some point?"

 

[seatownlowdown]

regardless of sack totals, i sense nwosu is gonna be a high pressure rate guy for us.

now if we can get d. taylor to help, that would be great.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Yeah, Taylor will be fine. He got some pressure at times, but overall not his best game. Not worried about him at all. We could have a hell of a one two punch with those 2 guys.

he looked gassed for some reason. no explosion off the line in the 2nd half. could be that he's not in top shape yet, combined with not getting much rotational support with alton robinson being out. i'm not too worried. by all reports he had a great camp

I have to wonder if there was in part some elements of the game plan that rendered Taylor less impactful. Pete mentioned that the plan was to force Russ out and to the left; I would imagine part of that involved Taylor, predominantly lined up against the RT, having to remain disciplined, maintain contain, and slow play some things to ensure Russ didn't escape right. Taylor couldn't really scream off the edge hair on fire if that was the plan.

 

[Ozzy]

He looked incredible. Him and Woolen flashing could completely change the defense alone.

Chenna was one of my faves when he was playing for USC. He's fun to watch.

 

[Polk738]

My co-worker is a Chargers fan and said the Seahawks got a great player and he was super bummed when he left, he was definitely my favorite pick up of the season-I just had a feeling he was gonna be great.
