Postgame: Seahawks 13 - Vikings 24

Mike Williams: he’s picking up yards in chunks, larger than I would expect. The way the corps is playing I see 900 yards for him, but more realistic I would still guess 650. But a sweet 650.

Also, BMW getting 1000 seems unlikely with how many WRs have looked p good. Expect us to spread the ball around?

Good stuff from our stadium brothers

But Mebane has to be a winner as well. Chasing Peterson down like that was great and the 4th down stuff was even better.

Babineaux was shockingly bad. I don’t know what’s up with him.

Butler is under “undetermined” and Golden Tate is a winner knowing we have a deep threat option.

      Not very impressed with the 1st team offence or do I just mean the QB’s in general. No 3rd down conversions that I remember and the red zone play looked very panicky. Looked like Hasselbeck was staring down one receiver and if that receiver was covered he didn’t know what to do. Really uncomfortable to watch, when the DB’s figured this out his completion % was done. By the second half on 3rd down you just knew he wasn’t going to get it. No offensive TD’s, No offensive TD’s.
    Mansfield Wrotto did a good job at left tackle, the running game was non existent but no sacks from Jarred Allen is a plus. Of coarse last year he didn’t get any sacks but he literally beat the crap out of Hasselbeck all night long. I don’t think we had any 1st downs last year until the middle of the second qrt, so this is a big improvement.
    The D gave up some big plays but overall not a bad performance. The run defense was stellar except the one long Pederson TD. Trufant has been playing great and the D was busting up and hitting people. Earl Thomas looked better, a pick six doesn’t hurt

Bates game plan had the TEs blocking and not receiving. I’m sure Bates will change that once Okung is healthy. Morrah and Carlson both had quiet nights, but I’m not sure that it was their fault.

Big kudos to both Red Bryant and Chris Clemons tonight. Not that either was truly outstanding, but they are both improving two areas of the defense that might possibly be huge weaknesses if they both do not improve. They both took steps tonight. Bryant is starting to look almost comfortable playing at end.

Defense stepped up today. Offense moved the ball just enough for scores, abeit more touchdowns is needed. Turnovers have been key to our preseason success this year, and one should hope that this continues on in the regular season.

Off-topic: Has anyone seen an Earl Thomas away jersey of any sort for sale? I can’t find one!

He was hitting like a true safety.

Matt can’t throw off his back foot, its just a duck up there. CW can gun off his back foot, but who knows where it is going. Both guys seemed to be confused at where there progressions were and neither on of them stepped up into the pocket. They both kept trying to slide laterally out of the pocket, which didn’t work well.

I am not convinced JJ has anything left. He was given the ball in space multiple times and he couldn’t do a thing with it.

Pass Pro was decent from the first team, but run was poor, good D though.

I’d like to rewatch CWs int especially, but it seemed like Martin was running terrible routes out there. Not crisp and many of them were on CWs “wild” throws. He was wild, but a couple of those were timing type throws and martin wasn’t hitting the route well.

Most of the other negatives have been brought up. Overall just not that happy with the O except for some of the early line play.

here’s my take on the game…

Should have never left Cal after his Junior season. He had one good year on a mediocre team. He should have stayed one more year and developed more.

But I do want to see him with the 1st team offense again. The first preseason game he really seemed to have a comfort level with BMW.

but the flag throw was a thing of beauty.

I don’t think anything was going to keep him from throwing away or checking down.
