and the Seahawk analysis has become thoroughly worthless. Awful. Nothing but complaining, and it smacks of overcompensating displays of objectivity for the hometown team. I don’t know why I never stopped reading Audibles after Michael David Smith left, there is very rarely any enlightening observations made, just the same snarky drivel I could find anywhere else in any given sports bar. But the lack of enlightened observations is fine; it’s the complaining that has basically become too patronizing to continue reading. I skim through Quick Reads, I wait for the stats to be updated, and browse Extra Points, but that’s it for Football Outsiders, now.

So I actually had commented about the Spencer line. I think Babineaux has come on, this year, but it didn’t start off the bat. No, the runs aren’t his fault, but the additional yardage is. That’s fair to pin it on him. I also know it’s hard to tackle Gore open field.

It’s not like Babs hasn’t been bad at times but to single him out like that seems odd.

And I don’t buy that there are 32 centers better than Spencer. Spencer is still shrugging off being thrown under the bus by Holmgren for Alexander’s decline (when oh when will he learn to make line calls) and now he’s getting blame for Hasselbeck’s decline.
