Is it just me, or did the pass rush and overall relentlessness of our D-line improve in the 4th quarter? I noted at one point that we were suddenly getting pressure, causing grief and making the Texans O-line look like THEY were getting gassed.

Anyone else feel this way?

Jeez, I LOVe our D-line rotation!

The whole team played better as the clock ticked closer to 1:00pm.....

I definitely noticed a marked increase in pressure as the game went OK n, specifically after halftime. It seems on every set of downs we were getting pressure with just four lineman about 1 or 2 downs. Huge difference because once schaub had to move his feet he became super inaccurate.

I think part of that has to do with what Sherman said about bennett talking to them and what not lighting a fire under their rears

Things improved after Cushing went out with a concussion. I think the team was also rallying around Bennett going down.

I am definitely NOT trying to say it was the early start or anything like that. Just that we got stronger and they got weaker as the game wore on. I'm thinking it has something to do with having so many good D-line players and being able to rotate them in/out and keeping them fresh for later in the game.

Even though you aren't saying it, it's still true. The science is incontrovertible on this fact.

Every time the clock hits noon on a road game our opponents hear that undertaker bell.
The real seahawks have arrived.
