Well I don't listen to commentators. I watch film. The Seahawks played 4-3 base or there nickle package almost all year last year. My point is the same it's been for awhile now. They simply don't have the personnel upfront to disrupt with 4 anymore. They lack explosive twitch up front.
Were going to smoke these fools.
You had me at "explosive twitch". I am not sure if it's the 72 oz Red Bull I just shotgunned or your post but I just got jolted with a burst of energy! Hell, you could even call it a...wait for it...explosive twitch! Taking all homerism out of it I agree with your post and have been saying as much for a while now. This IS NOT the same team we watched disassemble the Broncs a halfa year ago. Don't get me wrong they still have plenty of talent on that side of the ball but I don't think they have enough to contain us for 60 minutes. If our line (O) plays the way they are capable of the Hawks are going to have their hands full containing Lacy and Rodgers. They are a D that thrives off advantageous down and distance i.e. 2nd and 9, 3rd and 8 etc. etc. If we keep ourselves in respectable D and D situations they will be on their toes which will keep them from being uber aggressive. Also, I have been saying all off season that the new officiating will disrupt the Hawks more than any other defense. If the refs would have called games straight up last year every city Seattle played in would have seen their crime rate go up in a matter of 3 hours. They straight mugged people and I admired them for doing so. The refs weren't calling any of it and if the zebras aren't going to flag you you may as well accost the receivers and TE's. It seems this IS the key point of emphasis this year for officials and I can't see how this does not negatively affect them in a major way. Bottom line is I like our roster better and most importantly we have the best player on the field at the helm. Damn I am ready already! GPG!!
