Salute to Metcalf and Lockett

[toffee]

Both were game time decisions, both played hurt, both sacrifice their bodies for the team, both contributed, both set great examples for rookies.

Salute!

I'm happy for Lockett that he got that TD toward the end. He was feeling kinda low before that.

I figured after Lockett had the strip fumble and the dropped pass that Geno would go right back to him and he did, spectacularly...

Even Justin Tucker misses a PAT once in a blue moon. No way he’s dropping two in a whole season, much less game.

Both could've taken a game off, but both stood up for the team. Greatest motivator for other players to step their game up too.

The ball bouncing off his facemask was unfortunate. Lockett has more than enough equity with us fans to even attempt to question him. Not only a great player but an awesome human being as well.

There were some issues early but both guys definitely stepped up and delivered down the latter half.

I add my salute.

That throw was great, it's the I trust you throw.

It wasn't that he dropped it, it was how he dropped it. Lockett is a consummate professional, and that's almost an automatic catch. It just so happened that the one time he gets the ball ripped from his hands by an excellent defensive play, he follows that up with a play in which he knocks the ball out of his hands with his face mask. It was right there. And IIRC the game was still tied at that point.

So yeah, I'm sure he's not going to drop another one like that any time soon, but I'm still glad he got that TD later.

That’s what I mean when I compared him to the best kicker in league history vis a vis the gimme of an extra point. Even the best of the best fail at a 99.9% successful play. Lockett is among the best and most professional as you say and like a pro he shook it off. Not a single person on that sideline thought it would happen again.

100% I agree with OP!!!

Mad respect for both players. They are both unqualified studs and we are lucky to have them both.

Hope they both are able to get completely healthy, and stay healthy.

So glad they are Seahawks.

These two, put their future earnings on the line for the team, that alone deserves total respect in my book.
