Do this. But with pads on.

Browse more photos »

I spent much of the week on projects and never got a chance to share last week's second half. Let me tell you, It. Was. AWESOME. The second half of the preseason, when the kids are beatin' each other to death for a shot at their dream, is some of my favorite football all year. It's the speed and looseness of college football, but with better talent. It's the intensity and schemes of the NFL, but less serious. It's the last time each season a football fan can watch football without suspense. Just watch football.

That's on the shelf tonight. The third preseason game of the year is the prologue to the regular season. To do it justice, I am going to dedicate as much time as I need to break down the first three quarters. That's when the starters should play, and that's when, if Seattle has so-far disguised elements of their defense, we should get a first look at the new playbook. The outcome doesn't count, but this is serious football. Seattle needs to show up. Statement game is a cliche, but tonight is almost nothing but.

Here's the top ten things to watch:

Star-divide

10. Sean Locklear: Locklear had trouble with personal matchups and performing his role within Seattle's system. He needs to show up and hold his ground. Not get beat up and beat around and camped behind Matt Hasselbeck's back. Look for him to control his zone and look for him to hold ground. He's never excelled at the latter, but as a left tackle he must be able to.

9. Red Bryant: Bryant isn't going to start over Colin Cole anytime soon, but Seattle might need him more as a second-stringer. The better Bryant can mask Craig Terrill's deficiencies, the better, because Terrill-time has been bust-a-rush-time for opposing offenses. Watch Bryant hold point. Watch him demand, demand, triple teams. And see if he can step up his pass rush.

8. Courtney Taylor and Ben Obomanu: Taylor and Obo are the favorites to fill out Seattle's receiving corps. Numbers are pitting the former Auburn teammates against each other. See who gets looks with the first team. See who shows up as a receiver. And see who shows up as a blocker. Seattle has been creative with Taylor, motioning him underneath and having him contain the backside.

7. Return game: Seattle needs to figure out its return game and now. Hopefully Justin Forsett can show something.

6. Julius Jones: Seattle's running game might be functional and station-to-station rather than exceptional and immolation between the hashmarks, but that drab rushing game could be the foundation of this offense or its downfall. Jones needs to show he can be productive in Seattle's new scheme, both as a rusher and receiver.

5. Matt Hasselbeck: Hasselbeck showed some of the old preseason fireworks last Saturday, but is he synchronized with this offense or still seeing Bobby Engram's ghost. Look for him to target receivers other than T.J. Houshmandzadeh and John Carlson. Hasselbeck needs trust to thrive.

4. Max Unger: The faster Max Unger can replace Steve Vallos at center, the better. As soon as he is substituted in at center, hope he excels. A middle O-line of Rob Sims, Max Unger and Mansfield Wrotto is loads stronger and more athletic than Sims, Vallos and Unger/Wrotto.

3. Brandon Mebane: Seattle has faced two very good offensive lines. Tonight, Mebane feasts on an interior that's Brian Waters and two journeymen. The journeymen comprise the right. Mebane has shown excellent power and penetration against the run, but Seattle is absolutely starved for the interior pass rush he is capable of producing.

2. The secondary: Zones work if everyone is aware of their responsiblities and able to react and attack. Zones fail when the line can't pressure and coverage schemes are confused. Seattle doesn't need excellence from its secondary, but with Marcus Trufant out, it needs excellent execution. See how Josh Wilson is adjusting to starting. See if Seattle can stay disciplined even under pressure. Look to see how early Jordan Babineaux subs in. And see if the Seahawks can stop the underneath assault.

1. Aaron Curry: Show us something, Justice.

John do you think Terril even makes the team?

We have way to many defensive linemen.

I totally agree that's a real question

Michael Bennett can swing between tackle and end. Terrill can’t.

Ruskell doesn't seem like a guy

That would dump him.

Every once in awhile though Terrill breaks through and does something great. Then he resorts to his normal self.

He fills about everything you need Terrill for. But I think Terrill is with the team unless he gets injured.

We'll see if Vallos can improve

Judging a man on 5 games at the end of a lost season having never played center isn’t a particularly wise in my opinion. Way too soon to judge our young O-lineman.

0-0 draw with Toronto FC (whom I supported before Seattle got in)

Toronto missed an open goal a few times.

Lots of chippiness and injuries.

Referee was terrible.

Seattle should’ve won the game in the last few minutes but somehow managed to scuff and mess up every shot. They had one last chance to win the game but our GK made a miracle save.

Sounders played poorly in the 1st half but outplayed Toronto in the 2nd.

Well...

The ref was great the first half. But then things got out of hand, and I still don’t understand why Ljungberg got that card. Hurtado I could have understood, but Ljungberg made no sense.

It will be more important to see someting from Jones,

but if Edge does anything at all, bust a 20 yarders, catch a 2o yarder, blow up a blitzer on a block, I’ll be jumping off my couch. Edge IS playing right?

On my drive into work I switch between sports radio and NPR. The guys on 95.5 don’t know what the hell they’re talking about and say “bro” every other word, and don’t seem to understand that the Seahawks exist. Colin Cowherd is on 1080 and only talks about teams based in LA or the northeast.

I’m definitely going to keep an eye on him.

Reed starts?

Rushing the passer in the fourth quarter doesn’t equal stopping the run in the first quarter. However, I’m glad to see him get the chance. Would be cool if he can make plays at or near the line of scrimmage. My obvious fear is he gets run over. We shall see.

by Hooper31 on Aug 29, 2009 4:39 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

I hope so....

But for now he’s just potential. I could lose my voice listing all the guys that represented potential and never fulfilled anything close to their draft status.

Yeah. I know it's a small thing

But Larry Johnson is a big strong dude and Curry took him down like he was an average small back. Didn’t even have to go for the legs, just wrapped him up and pulled him down.

Or are they going to go back to the straight vanilla for the first stringers?

I just want to see some of the schemes that will be used during the regular season.

That way I can start getting an idea on how effective our D might be.

Blitz?

Would be nice to see a LB attack the QB at least once. Just once, to know that they might consider it during the regular season. Is that asking too much?

by Hooper31 on Aug 29, 2009 4:53 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Rather, it would be nice to see one get to the QB,

and not get bottled up in the wash.

by Dukeshire on Aug 29, 2009 4:54 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

LBs been attacking

They just haven’t been successful.

Did you see Josh Wilson blitz? I knew they’d use him. He is the best CB blitzer on the team. And he is fast. Used sparingly and he can disrupt the QB.

by ASeahawkfan on Aug 29, 2009 7:46 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Another thought....

Are they purposefully holding back because they see the AFC West during the regular season?

by Hooper31 on Aug 29, 2009 4:54 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I think they were holding back

for talent evaluation purposes. See how the players would do without stunts/etc. helping them confuse the opposing offense. At least, that’s been my hope.

or, to put it another way, the starters aren’t starting. Hmmm…

Warren Moon's insight is amazing

He says it’s a good playaction pass where Hasselbeck kinda fakes the handoff to Julius Jones.

I have a feeling he’ll need to lose the job, instead of Unger being able to earn it.
