PrintThanks to Caffe Felice in Renton. Great staff, good coffee and incredibly convenient for me.
- Russell Okung pulls left pops Craig Terrill into the pile, and then pivots left to block the cutback lane. Loved this play. This is how Okung pull-blocks. He isn't amazingly swift, but the quickness gets him there and the power tears a hole in the universe.
- Okung gets under, steers and neutralizes Chris Clemons ten yards away from the action.
- Nick Reed did the Nick Reed thing turning a quick first step and excellent awareness into a tipped away pass. Okung never got a good block on him.
- Okung thrashes Terrill.
- Turns Terrill right on a run left and pushes him away from the action.
- Pulls left and tosses Clemons on a designed quarterback run right.
- Earl Thomas engages hyperdrive and flies from the third level towards and around Okung for an untouched shot at the quarterback. Think it forced a pick.
- Okung locks down Clemons twice in quick succession.
- We end with the workmanlike good, and vital change of Okung replacing Ray Willis: Okung engaging and standing ground against Red Bryant. You're on notice Chris Long, Calais Campbell, Darnell Dockett and Justin Smith.

Was the Earl Thomas hyperdrive moment
a missed assignment or just a miss? In other words, should a back have been there to pick up that blitz or should it have been Okung?
Just a miss
Okung tried to block him but Thomas was at full speed by then. Truly hard to fault Okung.
Its supposed to be harder than this,
especially after sitting around for a week waiting to practice. Do the Seahawks have a DE capable of teaching some NFL-style lessons to this young man?

Anyone else have a problem with this play call?
“Pulls left and tosses Clemons on a designed quarterback run right.”
Well, they did say they would be running a lot of bootlegs.
Misdirection ftw.
inside of a dog it's too dark to read.
What's the worst that could happen?
It’s not like Hasselbeck has a recent injury history. He can run all he wants. Oh, wait…
Jim Bates loves him some bootleg plays.
Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?
I think Holmgren called that play in from Cleveland...
Bring Your Game, Leave Your Name.
PS: Screen name isn't what you think it means.
Needs more fullback.

Red Bryant and Rusty Okung met in a power struggle?
That’s the entirety of Euclidean perception. Okung is Supergalactic, Red is Subatomic, they are both Supermassive.
This is a comic book battle
begging to be drawn up. Throw in Nick Reed and we have ourselves an EPIC BATTLE ROYALE!!

Okung Can Block 'Em Both
One with each hand.
This recalls to me
the glee I felt when Okung fell to us at 6. I think I’ll go back to that open thread and relive the ecstasy, now enhanced by these practice reports.

Glad to see somebody has the wuicks to make him work a little.
Might just have to make Bryant go to work on him every day so Red can be a real DE.
