Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

Game Thread: Seahawks @ Dolphins

Seattle Seahawks at Miami Dolphins, Nov 9, 2008 10:00 AM PST


At some point today, Darryl Tapp will come free towards the quarterback after a perfect inside move on Vernon Carey.

At some point today, John Carlson will run a route carved by Michelangelo.

At some point today, Brandon Mebane will obliterate a single block and force Ronnie Brown wide.

And not even losing can take that away.

At some point in the next week

I’ll get over this goddamn cold.

Inactives

QB Matt Hasselbeck
K Brandon Coutu
LB David Hawthorne
OG Mansfield Wrotto
DT Red Bryant
TE Will Heller
DE Patrick Kerney

I wonder if when Floyd Womack is eventually injured the team will give Wrotto some looks.

Tapp

If you were to weigh Tapp getting his starting job back, what would it be between Tapp’s actual play or Jackson’s play declining.

I like it personally

Your offense is on the field when the crowd is still coming back from halftime, so it’s quieter. Plus I like knowing that we have the ball coming out of the half.

Of course, you have to have your D not suck it up in the first half…

So is there a reason our defenders HATE wrapping up?

Deon Grant’s attempt to tackle Brown with his head a second ago was retarded.

Brian Russell is a fucking joke...

Not only did he not cover, but his attempt at the ball separated Trufant from being effective too. I HATE Brian Russell.

Which is why they are outplaying their "talent level"

If they weren’t pl;aying us I would say they were fun to watch.

by GarethLewin on Nov 9, 2008 10:32 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

I no longer think this team is underplaying it’s talent level due to injuries, coaching, etc. They just suck.

Then what do you think of 2007's team?

It’s pretty much the same team plus a few improvements.

I thought last year's team played way above it's head

mostly because of brilliant play from Hasselbeck. The talent level around Hass was/is decent-to-pretty good, but take him out of the equation and, well, yeah. I do think there is a high talent level on defense, that the unit is playing horribly and that Marshall should have been replaced some time ago.

by lemonverbena on Nov 9, 2008 10:44 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

But you said "I no longer think this team is underplaying it's talent level due to injuries, coaching etc."

You just conceded that losing Hass hurt the team. So what is it? Do they all suck or do injuries play in?

by BrianL on Nov 9, 2008 10:46 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Injuries have reduced them from at least a decent team to a bad one.

And if you look unit to unit, of course there’s talent there. But on a whole, I think our talent level has been overrated. The O-line is bad, the D is undersized, Jones is not the long-term answer as a starter, etc etc.

I’ll concede that it’s too sweeping a statement to say “they suck” but I’m just really frustrated. It’s sad to watch my beloved Hawks unravel, beginning with the Hutch fuckup.

Jake Long against Brian Russell

Yes this is a matchup that is sure to be in our favor.

I love how Russell thought it was a good idea to go after Jake Long

rather than actually try to find the ball carrier

Plus cheerleaders fake smiles make them less attractive, and they need to stop being coached to do that.

No, optimism is just always rewarded by god shitting on you.

As a Seattle fan, I know to never say “We’re gonna win” because every time I do it, a friend does it, or a random fan in the crowd does it, we either lose in horribly embarrassing fashion or the other team almost overcomes a huge defecit. The sports gods hate cockiness. Ask the Patriots and their fans.
