Halftime Cap:
You know what, it doesn't matter. Because when you face a bad team, you take them down. You grind them into powder, and that's what the Seahawks are doing.
The Seahawks defense, right now, looks like the best squad in the NFL. Even players who have been weaknesses or have disappeared for stretches are showing up. Brian Russell is sealing off the deep pass. Darryl Tapp is getting excellent and steady edge rush. The run D is intimidating, turning simple off tackle rushes into the equivalent of a sack. Kelly Jennings has elevated his game to the point that in just his second season, the Hawks may already have the best pair of cover corners in the NFL.
Am I gushing? Because I'm not done.
Shaun Alexander has had a very nice half. No play, no play all season, has so inspired confidence, out of the ether, magic, rebirth, confidence like his screen reception. Any rusher given enough touches is going to find an empty spot on the field, but Alexander exploded after the catch and showcased a second gear like I've seen maybe a dozen times from him all season. I can't explain how happy it makes me to see him not just produce, but play well. Beck's two picks are, eh, basically near worst case scenario for some questionable decisions. I wouldn't sweat it. The guy looks like a West Coast Savant out there. He's reading the D, he's audibling right. Dude's on fire.
And if you were wondering, it was Boone Klutz. He was that bad. Plack is back and his field position contributions are taking a top defense and making them razorblades.
This is fun. Straight, no nonsense, take the bastards behind the woodshed and leave only a pulpy remains, fun. Merry Good-GodDamn Christmas, everyone and God bless Seahawks football.
