Now we're 77 days from real Seahawks football.
The difference of time zone allows me to be the one who opens panel #77 on our Seahawks Advent calendar.
Seahawks uniform number 77 is one of the very few non-retired numbers not in use right now.
It's a number that's been reasonably good for the Seahawks. Recent players that have used it include Ahtyba Rubin and the underrated Ethan Pocic. QJeff had it last season in his return to the Seahawks. Carpenter had it back in 2012-2014.
Those who know my posts won't be at all surprised that I'm goin' old-school on this one and putting up a picture of Jeff Bryant, who had the number from '82 through '93. It's not just my fondness for the Seahawks teams of the '80s and late '70s, though. Bryant is almost certainly the player who did the most with that uniform number for the Seahawks.
I think of Bryant as the "other" starting DE for the Seahawks opposite one of my all-time favorite Seahawks, Jacob Green (whom I discussed at length two days ago), but by the numbers, Bryant outperformed Green in the two games in which I saw them live. Bryant had two and a half sacks in the first Seahawks game I attended live, the game in Foxborough in 1984, and two in my second in-person Seahawks game, also in Foxborough two years later.
While searching for images of Bryant, I found a spectacular pic - the starting DEs and NT from the Chuck Knox Seahawks' DL in both of the Seahawks games I attended in Foxborough - Green, Bryant, and NT Joe Nash - from when they raised the 12 flag together in week 3 of the 2019 season. I'll have reasons to show it again in five days (72 is gonna be an interesting number!), but I'll put it here as a non-gameday Sunday bonus for .NET because I'm afraid I'll forget in five days.
Yow! What a pic!
