Seahawks and their 2nd ranked Rushing Defense...Smoke and Mirrors?

[kerouac9]

Uhmm we ran 26 times and had 26 passing attempts in the Oakland game. I believe that makes 50% runs in at least one game.

And on the season we've called 176 passes and 97 rushes. I believe that makes 64.4% of the time passing.

The Green Bay Packers, who don't even have a running back, have passed the ball 217 times and run 132 times. That's 62.1% of the time. We're passing more than the Green Bay Packers. The Green Bay Packers!

That's why you got to run the ball and get the crowd out of it. You can put the 12th man in the deep freeze. We've seen Thomas Jones rush for like 200 yards in Seattle and that stadium can get as quiet as it gets loud.

It really doesn't though

The only person who put them in the deep freeze was fat Ken Behring ...... i was there for that game in 2002 and that stadium never got loud - completely different building now and it's back to the pre-fat ken form of the kingdome where the NFL had to put in special rules in an effort to silence the crowd

the past 2 years have been terrible - the fans have been great though

As Osprey said, not really. Levi can handle bull rushers most of the time. It's the speed guys who can set the edge that he really has a hard time with. Fortunately, Seattle doesn't have ANY of those kinds of players.

What we will have to be careful of on offense, though, is the stunts and delayed blitzes that have given us fits in the past. That's one thing that San Francisco killed us with last season, and this offensive line has had a hard time adjusting to. When a DE comes around the defensive tackle, it's sometimes like the OL has no idea what to do. Their linebackers also have a lot of speed; don't be surprised to see the Seahawks bring a lot of five- and six-man blitzes and challenge Max Hall to find the open guy.

Bryant isn't a pass rusher he is their to defend the run and when you have that big of guy playing DE he can eat up a lot of space. all i have to say is i really really hope you guys try to run on us all day
