Seahawks scouting report
So I tried to watch last week's game between Seattle and Chicago on NFL rewind, but I must admit that I got bored and fell asleep in the middle. I did still make a few observations that may be germane to this week's game.
- Seneca Wallace tends to overthrow his long passes. I predict at least 1 interception because of this.
- Wallace played well early in the more scripted portion of the game, but had more trouble as the game went on. (7/9 for 94 yards and a TD early, also 2 early FG drives, but followed by 19/35 for 149 yards and an INT.
- Seneca Wallace makes poor decisions under pressure and is VERY quick to look for the checkdown pass when under pressure.
- Seattle had a lot of trouble finishing drives and generally seemed content settling for field goals. If Peyton keeps leading TD drives this one could get lopsided quickly.
- Seattle's right tackle had a lot of trouble with pass protection. (Somewhere Robert Mathis makes a mental note to pick up his superman cape from the dry cleaners.)
- Also, in Seattle's attempted come from behind drive in the last two minutes, the Bears were able to get a lot of pressure on Wallace with mostly just a 4 man rush, resulting in numerous ineffectual checkdown passes.
- Felix Jones is really good at making the first guy miss and at breaking arm tackles. The Colts will need to have good technique and team tackling to control their running game.
- The Seattle defense plays with a lot of intensity and pride, though their pass defense is definitely suspect. I would not be at all surprised to see Peyton extend his 300 yard passing streak by another game.
So those were my observations. I'd love to hear from anyone else that has watched this one.
In a random side note, watch for Melvin Bullitt to seek out Red Bryant (Seattle DT) before or after the game (though the cameras probably won't focus on this). They played together on defense at Texas A&M in college.

I was already feeling good about Sunday's game,
After reading your post I’m feeling even better. I hope Seattle won’t be wearing those lime green uniforms, they hurt my head watching them.

Nothing to do with football,
when I was a teenager everyone called me The Foz (because of my last name), Now whenever I see your screen name I chuckle.

seahawks injuries
has anybody seen the seahawks injury report. Their secondary is banged up, but who are they likely to have playing.
An expert is someone who knows more and more about less and less until they know everything about nothing...
