Seattle 20 - San Francisco 6
2-12-SF 43 (2:00)
Seattle breaks 2 WR, TE, split backs. San Francisco in a 3-4, corners walked close, outside linebackers showing blitz.
Niners run a Man Cover-1, blitzing both outside linebackers. Sean Locklear picks up Parys Haralson. Manny Lawson surges into the backfield. Julius Jones engages. Leonard Weaver begins an oh-so-beautiful angle route.Patrick Willis fakes an inside blitz and cuts out to attempt man cover on Weaver.
Jones is run over by Lawson in an uncharacteristic blown block. Wallace, sensing pressure, finds his outlet receiver: Leonard Weaver. Weaver plants, explodes out of his cut and leaves Willis chasing air. Weaver rips past Michael Lewis and Takeo Spikes, and behind the excellent block of Koren Robinson for the score. All to the tune of the wonderfully canned, sublimely inappropriate play-by-play of Ron Pitts: "Second and twelve Seattle. Throw inside. Weaver with the green shoes. And look at those green shoes go! Is it Halloween? No. It's touchdown Seattle."

Question
Didn’t we come up with the nickname Church Van?

You may gain some yards on the ground, but eventually Lofa will end up biting you in the ass.

Amazing that such a standard WCO play ends up in a long TD from the fullback.
That shit didn’t even happen in Madden ’93 on my Sega Genesis.
Nifty
Wallace does the right thing and hit the open outlet receiver. Even if there’s pretty good coverage there, Weaver gets seven or eight yards for a net positive play.
Instead, Weaver makes a man miss and gets a couple good downfield blocks. Outstanding.
And I love the graphic of Julius Jones getting run over on the block, there.
Should we expect another big game from Weaver this week?
Wallace will most likely be looking to his dump off routes quite a bit against Philly’s constant blitzing.
Awesome play, totally lame call by Pitts
Just another example of announcers who try way too hard to be witty or topical.
Every day I hear about Seattle sports' failures. Every night I fall asleep to the sound of my own tears.
Geno?
It’s tough to say, he’s getting some pressure but that’s about it. I think he’s playing his way into the 2010 draft.
I wasn't aware that Garret Atkins played both baseball and football.
