So are Rams vs. Niners. Hopefully the West is all 1-1 after next week.
Seattle was soft against the run last year, and they didnt exactly impress against a weak running Tampa team. Cadillac Williams averaged 5 yards a carry against Seattle.
Seattle has much better pass rush threats than SF -- J Peterson and P Kerney
Williams had 11 carries for 40 yards, and 1 run for 20 yards
his average was actually about 3.6 ypc with the long run skewing those stats
not to mention that the Hawks knocked him out for the game
"You know, if you take away all of his runs over 5 yards he only average 1.2 yds a carry."Why do people constantly do this? Its stupid beyond belief. Cadillac averaged 5 yards per carry against Seattle anyway you like to try and justify otherwise. If you took out every RB's long runs they wouldnt average crap. Please for the love of god people just stop it already.

that's true - TB got the ball back with 50 seconds left - they had 80 yards to go to the endzone and seattle was playing the pass and looking to make sure there wasn't any 1 on 1 coverage deep where they could make a long completion (like the one earlier in the game to galloway)
they ran the ball 3 times with caddy - a 9 yarder, a 2 yarder and a 20 yarder - that's 3 runs for 31 yards
you take away those unconvential runs that had no chance of really damaging the hawks he was left with 9 rushes for 29 yards (3.2 ypc) - not that large of a sampling, but not great results by any means - or results that i'm too worried about
so yes, caddy had 5 ypc - but really, what good was it?!
- i liked the discipline out there, I liked seeing a little more creativity with the playcalling and sets and I liked seeing some of the young guys step up to their first challenge
