On defensive effort
Remarkable how they kept believing, many extraordinary moments, despite the offense struggling.
Goal line stand, hung tough, believing in the scheme. Kelcie’s tackle. Bobby’s hit at the goal line. Was hard physically. Gave everything they had.
Offense struggled but kept trying, got it going a bit eventually.
Team felt ‘frustrated’ because we had a chance to win.
Better than a loss.
We’ll take it.
On offense
On play calls – Only 14 plays in first half, didn’t get through the list.
3rd downs, had manageable ones in the 1st half but couldn’t convert. Ran it 3 times, passed 11 times in first half. Not enough plays to ‘learn’ anything from how the defense was playing us.
Run game: We’ve gone where it’s easier for us. C Mike is hitting it, we are still committed, 3rd down stuff (refers to first half). Gave up only 1 sack, RW did not have to scramble, got the ball out very quickly. Will continue to develop our guys. There’s a difference without Thomas Rawls. RW is not running at all, that’s not available to us yet. Will come in time.
Jimmy was a big factor in blocking and catching in OT.
RW has had no setbacks but is still not in the mode to just take off. He will go when he can go, is not ready to. A lot of guys would have missed 3 or 4 games by now.
On Sowell. Don’t yet know the severity. On if they need to look outside the org: Fant has made enormous progress, busting his tail, got more comfortable as game went on. We have options with Webb too. JS is all over it but who’s going to ‘just give you a tackle’ at this time of the year?
Could almost have scored off both blocks.
Players paid a price, team took a long time to get out of the stadium, took care of the guys. Heat issue even more than hydration issue.

Calm down there, slick. You can't deny the fact that in the amount of time he he was in there last night, he looked much better than Sowell, with the exception of the move Jones (an elite edge rusher) put on him. Give him a few gamesSilver Hawk":1t9yrpzw said:Thepeelsessions":1t9yrpzw said:Call me crazy, but I think it's Fant's job now, pending the injury severity of Sowell.

That would be downright scary. He didn't play OL at all in college, right? When he did play in college, at Western Kentucky, he only played 1 year, right? Played sparingly that 1 year, at TE, right? Is a Cable project, with very few NFL snaps, right? Sounds like the ideal profile for your blind side tackle. Especially for protecting a hobbled QB.
He'll complete the job of getting Wilson in a body cast by year end.

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll told 710 ESPN Seattle that the team is unlikely to acquire an offensive tackle in light of Bradley Sowell’s knee injury.

Well, I don't really have to calm down for you. So, there is that.
What I did see is that he whiffed on a Cardinal, grabbed him and got his holding penalty. He looked lost. If you think his profile makes him ready to play and you want him protecting the franchise QB's blind side, well, there just isn't much to be debated.
Carry on, slick.

This is what I saw.I thought Fant made that line look huge and deserves another game with the practice reps prioraustinslater25":1i8dl2sx said:Fant seemed to stabilize it last night but I don't know if that was him or the AZ defense getting tired etc. Maybe he should get a shot.

That's about as believable as a GM saying a coach's job is safe....
Of course they will listen to offers, they would be dumb not to.

If Gilliam is terrible at RT, then how will moving to LT make it any better? Doesn't make any sense to me.
Sounds like from Kiro that Sowell has an MCL, out several weeks, and they are leaning toward giving Fant the shot at LT.Silver Hawk":1vye0ehx said:raisethe3":1vye0ehx said:LeftHandSmoke":1vye0ehx said:Unless they can negotiate and sign a good LT then my guess is Gill to LT and Webb to RT.
