Just a few notes today as today I’ve been to London for the third time this week and time has been really short.
Georgia defensive tackles are legit
You do read some rubbish if you follow draft Twitter or some of the bigger name pundits and writers.
While various players get vaulted way beyond their talent level, others get dismissed for no plausible reason.
Georgia defensive tackle Jordan Davis was an afterthought for most. Others had him graded in the middle rounds.
Nonsense.
I thought he warranted a high grade a year ago and was surprised he didn’t declare for the 2021 draft. That decision has so far been validated because if anything, he’s promoted his stock even further this year with consistent domination for the Bulldogs.
He absorbs double teams and in some cases, ploughs through them to create pressure. He handles the interior with his great size and underrated athleticism. Yet he also shows off the quickness to create the occasional pressure and disrupt the quarterback.
This is not a good looking draft class for 2022. Currently, I’ve only identified eight players I’d be willing to put even a reasonably high grade on. There are a lot of unknowns and players who are either inconsistent or underperforming.
Davis is going to be one of the best players available. He’s someone who can anchor your D-line, provide stoutness and set the tone. He’s not going to be a sack artist or a splash player every week. Yet he’s going to shock people at the combine and whoever gets him — it’ll likely be a bargain.
His teammate is also worth a mention. Devonte Wyatt is more of a three-technique but he also delivers a level of physicality. He’s quick, shoots gaps but he can play early downs too.
Both had a big impact against Kentucky today — sharing a blocked field goal by destroying the interior protection and otherwise creating chaos up front.
If you like watching the trenches — Georgia are a dream. A big, hulking, tone-setting O-line and impact players on the D-line. Massive, tough, athletic. There’s a reason why they’re undefeated despite fielding two unspectacular quarterbacks this season.
Speaking of quarterbacks, Kentucky’s Penn State transfer Will Levis showed off some talent in this game. A good, quick release. Generally accurate. A solid throwing base. He’s athletic and well sized. Levis is a junior and will likely stay in school for next year but he has a bright future if he continues to develop.
Another tight end to add to the list
As mentioned, it’s looking like a flat 2022 draft with very little in the way of clear top-20 talent. However, unusually, it’s a strong tight end class.
San Jose State’s Derrick Deese Jr might lack great athletic qualities but he just catches everything. He’ll go up and high-point the football. He boxes out defenders. He’s very difficult to cover.
Deese Jr also has the size to develop his blocking.
Against San Diego State the ball was like a magnet to him. His team almost pulled off an upset and it was mainly due to his performance.
It won’t be a surprise, with his NFL bloodlines, if he enters the league and finds a way to have an impact. This is a name to monitor.
I’m going to write up a review of the draft class later this week, in part to take our minds off what I suspect will be a chastening evening in Pittsburgh tomorrow.

Yeah, I watched those Georgia tackles. Looked pretty darn solid to me. Man they have a great defense stat-wise and other-wise. A bit of a rare phenomenon these days.
Iowa loses and will drop today. I had a soft spot for them, but their offense really got exposed today. Couldn’t do much of anything. Oklahoma should move up to #3 in the polls after this weekend with a win today.
Glad you mentioned Levis, Rob. As well as arm talent, I thought he made good decisions on the field. When to throw the ball away & when to just eat it & take the sack.
First I had watched of him. Going against a D like that – I was impressed with what I saw. Wouldn’t be easy for anyone to face a college D like that. The hand/arm/wrist/whatever strength he demonstrated on that should have been strip sack that was ruled incomplete was insane. Almost every other QB on earth would have fumbled that before any of their arm could move forward.
Rattler benched for Williams today for Oklahoma vs TCU. I’m trying to think of the last time a Heisman Trophy candidate QB got benched for a back up? It’s not really surprising with how Williams performed last game in place of Rattler, but still a big deal.
He’s definitely not a Heisman Trophy candidate anymore
Paul Cook said, “I’m trying to think of the last time a Heisman Trophy candidate QB got benched for a backup?”
Jalen hurts for Tua Tagavailoa against Clemson in the 2018 Championship game, most likely.
https://www.si.com/college/2018/01/09/nick-saban-tua-tagovailoa-alabama-national-championship
And then Tags was benched for Hurts the following year in the same Championship game the next year.
https://www.si.com/college/2019/01/08/jalen-hurts-tua-tagovailoa-benched-alabama-clemson-national-championship
I’ve seen DE George Karlaftis of Purdue a few times and have come away impressed every time. 1 sack, 1 TFL, and 3 hurries in the upset of Iowa today. I’m not sure if he is enough of an athlete for the next level or at least Seattle.
He has a burst. There’s definitely something there. I just wonder if he can speed/power and drive, be able to disengage if the initial get-off doesn’t work and whether he’s a good enough athlete to really, truly test pro-tackles. Combine will be interesting for him.
Caleb Williams might already be the best college QB in the country. He can make most every throw, he’s big and strong and great athlete, and he’s already, as a true freshman, a great leader. If it was allowable, this guy could turn pro after this year and possibly be the #1 pick in the draft. The only thing I haven’t seen the guy do in two games is throw early enough before receivers look for the ball. But that’s a pure experience thing, which he will get.
Caleb Williams the next great QB.
That Georgia team is indeed looking like a good place to shop for a restock for the trenches-on both sides of the line they have been beasting people.
With Carson’s durability further called into question, and Penny not looking like an answer, LSU RB Ty Davis- Price, and Cin. Bearcats RB, Jerome Ford were both appealing watches this weekend.
Some of what I’m seeing out there actually gets me hyped for a big roster churn.
So who is the Heisman frontrunner? I don’t see any player who is dominating CFB so far. At this point Bryce Young maybe just because best stats? Feels like the Heisman will just be the best stats award.
I was thinking Matt Corral is up there too?
Corral has a chance. I’d throw in a couple of RB Walker & Robinson along with Young for the Heisman.
I think Corral will be the first QB to hear his name called in April.
Meh. Not sure about that.
I’ll say this, if Baker Mayfield can go #1 IMO Corral can go extremely high. Not trying to convince you but Corral is tough as nails with a very good arm. I’m sold on his intangibles also.
Yeah but Baker in fairness had Oklahoma pushing for the National Championship.
Corral is not a bad player by any stretch. He’s a very accomplished college QB. But a potential franchise NFL QB???
If you are looking for a dark horse, how about Sean Tucker out of Syracuse? He is currently leading the NCAA in rushing with 948 yards on 155 carries for a 6.1 yard average. His 9 touchdowns tie him for 4th in the nation with 9 players.
No running back from Syracuse has ever led the nation in rushing. Not Jim Nance, not Joe Morris, not Larry Csonka, not Floyd Little, not Ernie Davis, not Jim Brown.
Kevin Harlan calling the Jags v. Phins game from London this morning. What a treat.
Another announcing bonus today, the single FOX game is Browns v. Cards and it’s not the Aikman game.
Not expecting the Cards to win that since some of the coaching staff is on the covid list. Should be interesting to see how they do.
Man, as a closet Dolphins fan, it’s difficult to watch what’s happening to that team.
How did they mess up this latest rebuild? Is it as simple as drafting the wrong QB?
It just shows, that having a million 1st round picks isn’t enough… you have to have the right people making those picks, and then coaching them.
Wasted their picks
Eastern Washington University (ranked 2nd in FCS) QB Eric Barriere threw for 600 yards and 7 touchdowns against the University of Idaho yesterday.
Same school that produced Cooper Kupp, Kendrick Bourne, and a number of other active NFL starters. Mid-round pick to groom for the future?
I watched a good portion of that game yesterday (my nieces graduated from EWU and it’s near where I grew up in Spokane so I’m always interested). His accuracy looks good and arm strength seemed good as well. Not all the throws were to wide open guys either. Had good legs too. He’s listed at 6’1″ so likely closer to 6′. My very untrained eye says he’s got a chance to be drafted.
Davis Mills looking good.
Would be more excited to see him or Kellen Mond tonight than Geno…
Boy the Ravens are scary strong this year.
Against the Chargers, that’s pretty good.
I have yet to see the Cardinals in action, I feel like I’m missing out on scouting the competition.
Seahawks on monday night football. Wow! Probably an evenly matched contest.
Trevor Lawrence looked like a rookie QB who is starting to make some definite progress today vs. Miami. Pretty good decision making and of course the arm is excellent. He played well against a Miami D which isn’t what it was last year but I’m guessing is still better than Seattle’s. That game could easily be a loss for the Hawks imo.
Lawrence has played well for a while.
I’ve been stunned how many Seahawks fans/media have been calling that game a win.
We shouldn’t assume the Seahawks minus Wilson will win ANY game.
That 54 yard FG the kicker curved just into the corner was a beauty. Like a draw put on a long drive down the fairway.
Harlan: “Nope. aaahahahahahahahaaand…” 😂
https://mobile.twitter.com/OldTakesExposed/status/1449777370135769096
That goes into the Harlan HOF!
The D of the Jaguars looked pretty weak though. And Miami had several opportunities that they didn’t use. This is why I think we have a shot against the Jags.
Jonathan Taylor pre-draft: “Please draft me Seahawks, please”
Seahawks: “Get another linebacker”
We have Carson and Penny, why get a healthy RB…
I bet anything this neck injury is tied to the nonsense workouts Carson was doing during the off-season
Rob,
With our RB health problems, have you seen any RB draft prospects that look promising? Not like Dallas and Homer, I mean Really promising and who could be available in round 2.
Yes.
Big draft article coming this week will have the details
Great! Thank you.
Rob if you always stay ready you don’t have to get ready….ergo if you train like you’re trying to put yourself on IR you’re ready for when it eventually happens
“I bet anything this neck injury is tied to the nonsense workouts Carson was doing during the off-season.”
Very likely. Two books that I have used a lot when training are 1)Conditioning for Football The Syracuse Way by Mike Woicik and 2)Applied Anatomy of Aerial Arts by Emily Sherb, DPT. They are consistent when discussing injury prevention.
I have also taken my Mom to the Andrews Institute here in Pensacola for Physical Therapy. It was weird having so many pro athletes around me in the same training room with a 70-year-old woman, many of them NFL players.
Russell Wilson: “please draft Taylor “.
Can’t have too many below average LBs you know.
Why draft a durable game breaking RB when you can have both Carson and Penny? They’re ironmen, especially Carson. NEVER misses any games. He’s so durable, they signed him to an extension. That’s durability!
Who does Ed Orgeron take over for next season, Pete or Ken Norton Jr.?
Jimmy Lake.
Neither. He’s on Pete’s USC staff.
Or head coach at USC and he takes all his recruits with him to cash in big on NIL in the biggest T.V. market in the world.
Don’t know if he will be declaring for the draft but this kid has some pretty darn good stats, however, I really haven’t watched any tape yet. Heaven knows, getting a few decent DB’s added by any means is imperative.
CB/DB: Ja’Quan McMillian, East Carolina, 5-10/183-lb. — has some pretty good stats & should warrant some further study even if he’s a smaller DB that isn’t in the “normal” mold, perhaps, IF he has good combine testing numbers he could potentially be an asset as a nickel/dime back or a safety?, Ball hawk?
2021: 6-games so far, 4-INT (1 for TD), 37-tkls, 25-solo, 4-TFL, and 12-PBU’s. (currently #1 in PD’s in FBS.)
In his 27 game, 3-yr. history, he has a total of 11-INT, 24-PBU’s.
PER: http://www.cfbstats.com/2021/leader/national/player/split01/category23/sort01.html
Just random thoughts running through my brain as I’m sitting on the couch watching the early games.
Russell Wilson for the past ten years has been spectacular at 3 things.
1) deep ball
2) play action deep ball
3) scramble/run in circles/stolen play deep ball
Other than that, IMO he’s league average (if not more on the bottom half of every other type of pass attempt that other starting/top tier QBs make).
Are my eyes out of wack?
Just some food for though as we go into our a span of games without him playing for the 1st time in 10 years
You know wilson was the 8th ranked short pass, 1st ranked medium pass, and a mere 11th ranked deep passer in 2020? In terms of accuracy….where people come up withthis “all he throws are bombs,” stuff is beyond me.
Oh seriously Peter. Why let facts get in the way?
Stats don’t lie….best dressed safety in the game
Current stats for Jamal Adams so far this season!!!!!!!!!!!! – This is what we get for a million bucks a game?
Absolutely NOT enough. If I were a season ticket holder, I’d be howling for accountability on how the front office spends my $’s invested as a supportive fan. See: https://www.nfl.com/players/jamal-adams/stats/
Rams lighting the Giants up. Must be cuz Colt McCoy isn’t at QB for NY.
https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/seahawks-russell-wilson-could-return-just-before-thanksgiving-after-undergoing-major-hand-surgery/
More grist for the mill.
But didn’t I hear here that he’s shutting it down for the rest of the season cuz he’s so unhappy? Well regardless, Geno gonna outplay him and relegate RW to 2nd string anyway.
It’s not complicated, either Pete leaves or Russ leaves. It’ll be one or the other. The good news is they’ll sell clicks writing about it for the next several months.
It could be PC leaves and RW leaves as well. IMO Paul Allen was one of the central tethers binding RW to the franchise and the city, and his death probably made RW’s leaving the franchise a real possibility.
Beyond seeing himself as one of the great QB’s of his generation, RW also envisions himself as a corporate entity/brand, aspires to become a business mogul/enterprise along the likes of certain other great black athletes and entertainers of his time, like Magic Johnson, LeBron James, Michael Jordan, Jay Z, Dr Dre, and the like. RW’s ambitions go far beyond football.
I think in Paul Allen he found a future mentor in this way concerning such ambitions. He already bought into Paul Allen’s Seattle Sounders as a part owner. He talked about owning an NFL franchise some day. He thought about and became partially involved in bringing the Sonics back to Seattle as part of a group. He thought about bringing another professional sports team to Portland, the city where Paul Allen’s Blazers reside.
Now with PC/JS’s poor personnel/team building moves of late, PC’s meddling and stubbornness when it comes to how he wants his team to play, and Paul Allen’s death which not only left PC in charge, but also ended his personal and business relationships with a man he immensely respected…I don’t believe that RW is tethered much at all to this franchise, city, and region as he once quite clearly was.
It’s just not working out for him any longer, and he can hear the clock ticking on the career ambitions he still has for himself in the sport, and the springboard this will provide for his future ambitions beyond football.
Would not be surprised one bit if you ended up being correct.
Malik McDowell sighting lmao
LOL, Tyreek glancing back at the end:
https://mobile.twitter.com/AlbertBreer/status/1449825063251890180
Bravo!

In reality, what was happening is someone was trying to build a ‘beer snake’. In England, at sporting events where drinking is allowed in your seat (eg cricket) — people generally get bored and a bit drunk and start stacking plastic cups to create a ‘snake’. Then you collect others and chant ‘feed the snake’ to encourage others to drink up and pass on your cup.
Unfortunately, the idiots in London today started launching their cups at a guy building a snake near the front row. Apparently some people got hurt. This is not how it’s supposed to be.
Usually it’s quite fun. I remember helping build a massive beer snake at a cricket match in Leeds. It was a great distraction from the bloody awful cricket England were playing. And we all sang, ‘we love you snakey, we do’.
Woof… Jones absolutely drilled. By the look on his face jogging off, he’ll be feeling that one in the morning.
https://mobile.twitter.com/BloggingTheBoys/status/1449848842107691013
I just realized that today we’ll witness Sydney Jones trying to cover Chase Claypool… yikes
Imagine Flowers
JJ Watt out there blowing up plays on his own, forcing turnovers, dominating.
Cap hit this year — $4.9m
Cap hit in 2022 — £15.9m
Draft picks wasted — zero
Didn’t Watt state that one of the biggest reasons he went to AZ was “the culture”?
Most free agents lie about that stuff. They generally go to who pays them the most.
Seahawks would rather waste draft picks and pay those bums the big bucks. Couldn’t just sign a good FA OL. Had to dump a 5th rounder to get the mighty Gabe Jackson. We all know about Jamal. So painful how they “build” this thing many times.
I don’t know why all the pundits are so surprised at how good the Cardinals are. All they did the last four years was the exact opposite of what the Seahawks did.
Watching the Cardinals continue to run their offense into the 4th quarter is such a breath of fresh air. “Ball control” and “bleeding the clock” are the dumbest things that PC likes to do.
Rob mase mention of this many moons back but I too have grown weary of not just continuing to press. I don’t get this idea of pride in winning a close game on tge occasions the hawks have been winning. Just close the game out and maje the other yeam reelon their back foot.
The Seahawks have rarely displayed a killer instinct in closing games out.
It is the Card’s year. Man, I like DeAndre Hopkins.
So did I…
https://seahawksdraftblog.com/deandre-hopkins-is-a-top-20-talent
L J collier is not able to make it on active list. So much about 1st round draft picks
Some Seahawks fans are open to trading Russell Wilson, despite probably watching this god awful Broncos team which has plenty of good pieces but is desperate for a QB
You can even say that about Cleveland to a point. Baker is better than Teddy but he’s still turning it over way too often.
Can say it about more than half the league
And people want to join that list
Kicker warmups
Meyers perfect up to 55 yards, both ends.
Tried a 60 yarder to the south end, and it bounced off the crossbar just short.
Boswell hitting from 53 both ends hasn’t tried any longer.
Wind is calm at the moment.
You at the game?
Yup
Enjoy
(if you can)
Phil Haynes on the practice squad (he’s not listed on their website)?
The Dallas/ New England game has been weird and wild. Dallas just pulled ahead with an interception run back into the end zone.
One play later and New England throws a 75 yard pass for touchdown.
I love CeeDee Lamb. I wanted the Hawks to trade up and get him a few years ago. I saw him play at Oklahoma and he was such a gamer and playmaker.
How bad is tonight going to be?
Pretty bad
I got it stealers 27, Hawks 13
I suspect we win this one
No AL Michaels?
He took the week off
Can’t blame him
https://twitter.com/bcondotta/status/1449892951908290560
Russ, just go and sit the F down
Lol…he’s going to be annoying during this stretch, isnt he?
Yes
With all due respect who cares what he’s doing, but I do know we’re not going to win with Gerald Everett running the ball lol
We need some sackage on Big Ben tonight.
Easy now…this is a family friendly website.
It’s all going to come down to neutralizing their pass rush
The whole double punt thing…
A player kicked a football twice. On one play.
I feel like the media has gone a little OT on this
They need something to fill the time Rob, have to scrap the bottom of the barrel to make tonight seem exciting.
I think we pull this out today. But part of me wants to watch the world burn.
JA doesn’t disappoint on the TV player introductions of the Hawks D.
Jamal seems happy atleast. I guess knowing your retirement is set would.make me happy too.
“I’m the best in the nation”.
Bwa ha ha ha
My entire household is laughing about that one lmfao
It’s a Trabis Ward reference. A former college RB player that was shot in 2020. His video went viral saying that quote.
Lol Jamal just doing peacock things, gotta hate it
It’s so him.
i’m telling you – – you act like a star enough, and some will believe you are one…
So gross. I think he’s referring to LSU? Even if…just say LSU like a normal person. I really do not like this guy.
Thank god Taylor isn’t a bust at least, need something to look forward to this season
Taylor looking like he might be our best Dline draft pick since Frank Clark. LOVE HIS PRESSURE!
Taylor going off is my silver lining this year. I hope Alton, green, and some other young guys take that next step. But taylor looks like a future cornerstone.
pretty good open field tackle there by Minkah Fitzpatrick, your 84th ranked out of 85, safety this year.
PFF has some flaws…
Maybe Minkah’s having a shit year too?
Let’s trade jamal.for him then.
maybe…but is he really the 2nd worst in the entire league?
Maybe he’s played that way, yes.
I can’t believe they are putting Geno out there in an empty backfield. This is madness.
OH yes, I take back everything I ever said bad about HOmer with his 27 yard reception and run.
I interviewed Geno Smith once.
I just remembered that
Was it a good interview? Worth posting?
I remember him being very personable and friendly. Not sure I still have it saved anywhere. It was after one of the London games
The announcers just said the Seahawks are playing tonight without their top two RB’s, and I’m thinking “top two…two?…what are they talking about…oh…yeah…Penny…I forgot”
The three stooges strikes again. LOL
Just incredible
That just looked comically bad. Costing us 18 yards with that nonsense.
Our season in a nutshell.
wish we were the type of team to go for it on 4th and 5 from the 38….
yes, even w Geno.
Rush 2, Drop 9, give up 8 yards.
The Seahawks way
An example of Norton’s “creativity “?
Has rushing 2 guys ever worked in the history of football?
It works great for prevent defense and hail mary’s
Has 3?
how does rushing 3 + jamal make any sense? It puts him against a legit NFL LT…he’s not beating that guy any day.
I’ve seen him do it a few times. Notably against BUF he beat a pretty good LT straight up for a sack, which was pretty impressive.
Big Ben is sooooooooooo bad
Geno looks worlds better than him right now.
They both look like they should be sat on the sofa next to me
At least the game is going by quickly
Let’s play two quarters and call it a day
it’s not exactly Browns/Chargers so far…
I’m not sure what the over/under was on this game…but I should have bet the under.
Can we just Bench Adams for Neal please? I’d like to see a SS on the field once this game.
Hes the best in the nation haven’t you heard
Hey now, he made a tackle on a RB (one tackle). Of course he wasn’t blocked but hey it’s a stat.
And Seattle lined up to all-out stop the run and he just chased the RB, who was running into a brick wall…
At least we can put to bed the idea that it’s Wilson preventing the Seahawks from running a productive screen pass
Geno’s at 50%. I don’t have the numbers, but something tells Russ’ success rate is… less than that.
that was UGLY….
It seems like the pass rush didnt allow for good timing on that one.
What we are watching is the talent deficit that comes from 5+ years of horrible drafting, player acquisition, and roster construction finally catching up with them, and not having our MVP-calibre QB to cover it up. We are paying the piper now, eventually the bill always comes due. It’s not complicated, we just don’t have as many good players as other teams.
Seattle Sports Media: “where has this great defense been?”
Uh…like last season, this defense performs better against inept Offenses. Are they really this confused?
This is a terrible game of football
Facts man. Offense showing consistency in their ability to do next to nothing for long stretches at a time.
😲
What the hell was that clip of Wilson pretending to play
My word
“The separations in the preparation.”
The weirdness is in the weirdness
It’s like Ichiro showing up to the ballpark in uniform, after he retired.
Felt like I walked in on something private.
You’d be cringing less if it were your parents, Matthew
Can’t he do that behind closed doors? Soooooooo weird.
Norton calling the D for the stealers? I ask because they had a LB covering DK.
It’s zone coverage man. LBs covering shallow zones will be the nearest guy to a WR very often in that scheme.
Getting beat by an 80yr old Roethlisberger is super depressing.
Best in the nation there, blocked by a rookie TE in space
Then fluffs an interception
Jamal couldn’t catch herpes at a brothel.
The peacock just got blocked into the 2nd row
the ball-hawking skills to boot LMFAO
Remember that awesome 2015 game in Seattle between these two sides? How far the mighty have fallen…
Jamal Adams not intercepting that pass was actually an ELITE play. Read on to find out why!
We see why Darrell Taylor doesn’t play WR, which is fine.
lol..
Now, Mayowa in MAN coverage against Harris is a mismatch.
Brilliant call!
😞
I mean….wtf are they doing?
that’s a ridiculous scheme to be running anywhere, let alone on the 5 yd line. What did we think was going to happen? Benson Mayowa was going to stay locked on coverage w a running back?
no excuse man…
Love that INT….Oooppss…by Adams…
Looks like Pittsburg has found their offense. This could be a long day.
Guesses on adams accesory for the post game presser.
Best guess gets to smack their head against their nearest wall.
I’m hoping for a scepter and a king’s robe
He’ll probably choose not to speak to the media again
What a leader
Should just start his coffee mug
A shirt with a map of the USA on it and the word “BEST” superimposed over it?
I can painfully see it
Hey Norton…the ball is probably going to Har…nvm send Jamal again.
This defense is an absolute joke. How do you have Mayowa playing 1v1 on the RB.
it’s crazy, and stupid, and so easily exploitable.
KNJ does not deserve to have a job. All those Raiders fans were dead right about what they said when we brought him in.
You keep doing that…and it keeps not working.
I don’t know if any one play could better encapsulate what’s wrong with this franchise. Blitz the $70 million safety off the edge and put the journey man defensive end in coverage. Just fucking brilliant
Matty Brown midnight thread:
“Actually Jamal getting washed out by that TE was assignment sound.”
“Actually Jamal not catching that INT tip…”
LOL
It’s going to be fun listening to Pete making excuse after excuse for him all season.
Why can’t people just admit they’re wrong? We’re all wrong plenty. It doesn’t make you less of a man.
The more people invest in their original position, the less likely they will admit they were wrong.
That’s we we see so much doubling and tripling down.
Domt have to look far to see it, unfortunately.
I for sure dragged my feet on the Jamal verdict…gave him lots of outs for last year….b/c I thought it was legit, and thought I saw flashes. This year….has been a f-ing disaster.
He certainly flashed last year, when they set the table for his 8-10 blitzes a game
Benson Mayowa is the the furthest thing from a standup linebacker I’ve ever seen… yet he’s been out there doing it all game… I really don’t understand the Seattle defensive theory at all any more.
He’s their starting SAM LB apparently.
Terrible blocking. Lewis should’ve cheated outside so Fuller could help if Hayward went inside.
Another fantastic drive.
We definitely don’t need Wilson any more.
It’s not really on geno either. He’s been solid. But he’s not elite qb to hide all our other issues.
Absolutely. Geno Smith being totally out of his depth isn’t his fault. Not sure he’d be in the league if it wasn’t for us giving him a job.
Think the whole “Do they keep Pete or keep Russell” question has officially been put to bed.
We absolutely cannot pass block in passing situations
100%…been a weakness for years now.
Let’s add that to the list of things we can’t do
(Orders more paper for the list)
I have the solution. Resign Brown and sign some someone this offseason like Riley Reiff or Cam Robinson and move them to Center. Problem solved.
What a brilliant play call on that 3rd down
The line is outmatched against a superior pass rush, but what is Shane Waldron bringing to this offense? It wouldn’t shock me if we had the same result so far WITH Russ, it would just look slightly different.
I think we’ve seen enough this year to conclude he isnt going to magically change our offense.
Whether that’s because of his deficiencies or Pete’s…it doesn’t really matter.
I’m not sure Waldron us allowed to do too much. This offense added a little presnap motion but it’s basically schottenheimers offense.
THE LEGION OF BOO!!!!!!
bahahahahaha!!!!
(It hurts that it’s true in all honesty)
Could’ve gone Legion of Poo
Honestly, and I really, sincerely mean this, 90% of the time I don’t know or understand what the hell we are doing on defense.
About 90% of the time, neither do the Seahawks…
I figured out Jamal’s “best in the nation” bit…
(Small print) “at aggressive hand clapping.”
…at being overrated
at self-promotion
Meanwhile, we haven’t sacked the most immobile QB in the league.
We’re going to lose to the Jags, aren’t we…
Pretty good chance
Oh my God. That is the floor.
Welcome to the blog Chris collinsworth.
feels like we are going to lose to this slightly-less-shitty than we are team….
Defense started going down hill
No joy watching this team, not sure why I keep doing it…
This is just the lastest example of how this team needs to build in the trenches on both sides and needs new coaching and talent evaluation.
100
I want to be the bully again. Pete and John clearly don’t know how to do that. They only built fake mouthy tough with this team. They are a mouthy boxer with a glass chin.
We could legit not pay anyone on defense and get a similar result. And invest it all in OL, and it’d help the nobody’s on defense.
Jamal actually hammers Najee. Hope it’s a turning point
He’s 100% lucky he wasn’t called for the helmet to helmet. He lead with the top of his %#$*( head, and is playing like an idiot.
best in the nation at leading with his head
🤣🤣🤣🤣I’m dying on this.
Should have been a penalty for helmet to helmet contact.
and it was such a big hit that Najee barely felt it.
Best play he’s made all season
I just want to get through this season with no major injuries, so Carrol can resign or “resign”, and maybe there will be a single day of hope again…
A barren wasteland of football so far. Personally, there’s not much reason to watch this team without Russ playing. Not even a chance of excitement.
I have no emotion watching this team play. Poor tackling, dumb penalties, no creativity, no toughness.
I quit caring before the last game
Obliterate them, scorched earth style. Only way pete will leave. Knowing it’s 100% him.
This touchdown has been brought to you by Woodinville Whiskey. Woodinville Whiskey. Whether it’s straight, bourbon or rye you’ll feel like you’re about to die.
Find it at a liquor store near you.
got that right.
Let’s play a game where we drink every time they cut away to Russell on the sideline….
LOL
last time we got whooped by pittsburgh, JS said that wasn’t gonna happen again
I’ve been a fan since 1977. I’ve seen it all. This football is, by far, worse than anything in the 1990s, which is generally referred to as the lost decade. It’s time for PC/JS to move on. It’s over.
Put RW on those 90s teams and I bet they are playoff possible.
Geno Smith is way better than Rick Mirrer.
Can some reporter do their job and actually try to figure what our ownership situation is? Is there someone at the wheel? Are we even looking? We deserve to know. We’re a ship lost at sea without a captain right now.
i got $10 on a gofundme to send rob to do an investigation
Seattle’s entire coaching staff has no clue….
But we didn’t need to replace Norton with Bradley or Quinn….
And such a great move firing Kris Richard. What an upgrade Norton is….
Good move letting Robert Daley go…we don’t need him, we’ve got Ken Norton and his “creativity”…
lack of offense again. no surprise there, don’t need Wilson, not sure he would’ve made a difference. Why doesn’t Pete get it? 3rd and 8+, throw the ball behind the line of scrimmage. I will chalk this as a wasted year of Lockette, DK and Wilson. what a shame
Saleh not Daley…..sigh…
I wish that Jamal Adams made the plays on the field that he acts like he made on the sidelines
Who is Duane Brown mad at? You got beat dude. Unless Collins was supposed to block that LB?
Geno has had more passes knocked down this game than Russ has all season.
This sack has been brought to you by Rolling Rock Pale Ale.
Giving Yinzers bedspins since 1939.
So when the Steelers get a sack, knock a schooner back!
Latrobe Brewing Company, Latrobe Pennsylvania.
Dickson’s punting has been awful so far this game
You know we’re in trouble when our punter is not even having a good game.
Rob and Robbie should just do their livestream during the 2nd half so that Rob can get some sleep and we’ll have something worth watching
Co-sign
I would prefer to listen to that then Collinsworth
This is the kind of clarity needed, and why Wilson’s injury can be a positive. Hopefully it’s informing the right people, whoever that may be.
Does Jets’ management watch Seahawks games?
You know they’re laughing at Pete John about now
And you know plenty of other executives around the league are as well
I hope the “we don’t need Russell Wilson” clowns are taking a good hard look at what the post Wilson team will look like.
Agreed. We absolutely need Wilson with a team like this. I’ll be shocked if we get 3 points tonight
Don’t hold your breath ST
I am not trade russ, but I don’t think he would’ve made a difference to be honest
He wouldn’t have been able to generate more than 65 yd of offense? Whatever
not much difference to be honest. It isn’t a shot at Russ, but at everything else. How many years do we as fans have to watch a lack of pass rush, lack of offense execution, and paly calling etc.
Woodrow Wilson = “He kept us out of war.”
Russell Wilson = “He kept us in the playoffs.”
this is embarrassing. fire Pete now
Well I wanted to see geno to see actual proof it’s not on RW. And I got my answer. Sweet.
Stealers are a notoriously good defense. Not sure why Geno isn’t letting it rip like last game. He actually looks scared to be himself right now. PC must be stopping him from letting it fly
stealers #12 defense coming in
But yeah, it’s Pete. You couldn’t be wrong.
Glad you’re never a sarcastic person Big Mike, it shows how intelligent you are
With respect letting it rip is a short third round qb destroying kc in a preseason game erases matt flynn’s prospects of ever playing for seattle.
10/17 122 yds and a 1td/1int is not that
I’m honestly not understanding what you’re saying. Geno is 6’3″
I’m saying geno didn’t let it rip. He just played okay for a half. Whereas wilson has actually taken teams apart by himself
On the note of the “team russ vs. Team geno,” nonsense….i for one have no desire to see geno fail.
If i’ve been cynical it’s the team. It has nothing for me to do with who is the QB. I’ve just tjought for some years now that Russel has been carrying this team.
Side note. If seattle loses to JAX…..does pc head on down to USC?
From legion of boom to legion of gloom, what the hell has happened to our team?
Current Seahawks with Russ: A bottom third team
Current Seahawks without Russ: A bottom five team
Bottom tier is bottom tier. The longer this drags out the more tarnished Pete’s time here will be. Stop competing to stay out there Pete. It’s time to hang it up. Thank you for Super Bowl 48.
I agree with us. We’re merely bad with Wilson we’re horrific without him
I’m so ready for a fresh start at coaching. I’ll always love Pete for what he did for this franchise, but a change is overdue at this point.
I’m undecided on keeping Schneider, it really depends on how much Pete has influenced some of the more head scratching moves(Adams trade).
There’s zero chance I trade Russ with what the upcoming QB draft looks. Give him a chance of totally running the show with an offensive minded head coach and a good pass blocking line and see what happens. If it fails, it fails. But I like those chances better than trying to find a new franchise QB.
Joe Fann just made the point that trading Russ (hypothetical) would be to recoup the losses from the Jamal Adams trade. Framing it that way just makes it seem so much worse.
Lets just get a 2nd rounder eat cap and never speak of adams again….
The other framing is gross. But accurate
I’m crying now.
For the younger generation of Seahawks fans who can’t remember the 1990s…
This first half was it. That’s your 1990s Seahawks. It was a bad decade. Lots of bums at QB and a bad overall team around them minus a few stars here and there.
We’ve seen Damien Lewis get worse this year because of coaching decisions. How does a RG in college and RG as a rookie get moved to LG? Seriously? He looked so much better this year and now he’s not good at all. Players are supposed to get better in year two. It’s natural. Except Pete moves him to where he’s never really played. Great job, Pete.
Anyone else think these coaching geniuses are going to run Mayowa out at CB to start the half? I wouldn’t put it past them. Tre Brown makes a few nice plays but they get him out of there. Gotta love the coaching that doesn’t seem to play the best players.
This is about as ugly as I feared it would be and there’s a half to go. Back to the Future of watching my 1990s Seahawks again. But instead of Tez to at least put up some fight on the LOS, we get a Peacock who makes a good hit and celebrates like it’s his team winning big.
At least we can look forward to our top 10 draft pick. Or something.
Mark glowinski would like to know the answer to you’re first question
If they win this game it will be the greatest comeback since the Jaguars beat the Dolphins in London this morning.
BTW Rob, how’s the smell?
The Alex Collins drive…
Chris Carson would have broke down by now if they gave him this many carries in a drive.
Cool the offense works if we can legitimately run it damn near every play
Rob, atleast you can fire out that game review early. I’m sure there’s no amazing comeback ensuing. Despite these runs by collins.
It’s written
That was a productive half-time
There are positives to a bad team!
Collins putting carsons carries in jeopardy if he comes back.
Where did that (impressive) drive come from? That’s some power running that would be fun to watch consistently. Shocked the crap out of me. Can they keep it up? PLEASE?!?!
I had a brief Marshawn Lynch flashback.
Unfortunately Bobby, the Defense has to take the field now.
What we’ve needed for years in the running game:
Wrinkles
If Geno Smith makes this team develop a running game – it was worth it!
One of the few bright spots of this season is most definitely Alex Collins. Hopefully a new regime can draft a guy like Jonathon Taylor to pair him with next year.
Or chubb!
Sydney Jones ability to be always injured is a shame. I hope he can find a way to stay on field.
Why is Jamal Adams wrecking our own damn players?!?
It’s such a drag when you don’t have playmakers on defense. Darrell Taylor is the closest thing we have to one now.
Best in the nation “almost” got a sack on their QB.
Can’t forget his almost INT as well! Dude is elite at almost plays!!!
👍
Adams…late on the blitz. Adams, blowing up his own team mate (again). Fuck me I’ve never disliked a seahawk player more
Exactly. I can’t stand the peacock.
Bloody hell do we have DEs dropping into coverage on half the damn snaps?
I’ve never seen someone smash his own teammates more than Jamal Adams has in six games. It’s incredibly poignant, hurting his own team with pointless flashy plays.
Ryan Neal > Puke Adams
Within the Seattle system, yes he is.
FFS
Why do they insist on using sky cam for returns?
You never know how good a return is, or where the player is
It annoys me as well!
Lockett is wide open on these sweeps.
There ya go
Time for the defense to do its thing and let Pittsburgh march right down the field for a TD. Book it!!
It’s an offensive explosion
Well, it’s offensive.
Defense needs to step the eff up and get a turnover or force a quick punt
Lol! Sadly,it is for us this year…
Play action actually works when the other team has to respect your running game.
Where was DK that drive.
Is he hurt?😬
And we get the Hawkblogger routine going now…”I’m not a Russ hater…”
Is there a more bi polar offense in the NFL? I don’t understand this team at all…
Can the D actually get inspired and get to it now?
alex collins has better vision that carson
Definitely quicker feet and quicker to the hole
Power runs and PlayStation with TEs, man I wish our starting qb had this type of offense!
Play action***
Heck yeah! Taylor with an excellent rush.
Soooooo good
So happy to have been wrong about him
Well now
DJ Reed is playing well tonight gotta love that
its nice to see the corners getting some p.b.u.
Both Reed and Brown can actually cover
Now hit them with a GOOD screen play 🙂
Darrell Taylor! Been looking for him since Clemons left….Clark was it for two years, then nothing till now…
Can Geno avoid the untimely turnover?
“Look out! Seattle Seahawks with a chance!” – Chris Collinsworth.
“So, you’re saying….there is a chance!” – Lloyd Christmas.
i thought that was Pete during a press conference lol
how many players down on the hawks do you go before you say i wouldn’t trade that guy’s future career, before you get to Taylor?
Is it Russell, DK….and maybe that’s it?
I noticed this very early this season, but Darrell Taylor has LEGITIMATE defensive end rush moves which make him formidable. Use him that way. Almost always.
Glad we bring back all the presnap motion when RW is hurt…so GD annoying.
Geno, come on man you gotta hit that was an easy throw.
Poor throw.
Collins seems quicker, but less powerful.
Not really a tackle breaker.
HOMER?!!?
Well, when your o-line is owning theirs d-line, why not? Those are big holes being opened up.
I’m just shocked that they ran on 3rd and 7 and that it worked so well. :O
All this on the 3rd and 4th RB…
AC is “3rd RB” in name only. 1B in my eyes.
Point being, we were calling for Collins to at least be the #2 since the off-season.
…and when they are selling out to rush the passer.
Steelers see homer in, immediately think pass. Pete had 3 yrs of planning into that one.
Both teams defenses duking it out for Worst in the League.
We just converted a 3rd and 7 by running the ball…what fucking universe is this
You know, bringing out Bill Cowher’s HOF bust and giving him the ring just might have cursed Pittsburgh in front of the Football Gods tonight.
They should give that ring to Mike Holmgren so he knows how it feels.
nice
You gotta admit, this is a where-in-the-eff-has-that-been half running the ball.
As a fan of the team, you love what you saw in the 3rd Q. Sadly though this success will only embolden PC to stick with his 1970s offense. We are wining the battle but losing the war.
Run it and go for it on fourth down you cowards god dammit
Safer to rely on the running game rather than Geno Smith completing a pass.
Gotta give rdit to their D on that. Owned that play everywhere
Everett was open but idk if I trust Geno to make that throw. Probably a good decision to eat the sack
Not sure he had tie for a 2nd read tho. Dissly was #1 and covered and then he was swarmed,
time
Agree. Pitt had that play well covered and accounted for.
Weird to say, but yeah…the 14 yard sack was the smart play.
Bad play call, Geno should have audible out of a slow developing play when it became obvious Pitt was blitzing. Wilson scores a TD there….
I’d like to think you’re correct
You HAVE to audible out of that play to a quick-hitting run or pass. Anything but let a slow-play go forward when you sense blitz. At worst its an incomplete with Wilson…with a chance on going for it on fourth down…a big mistake by Geno…
NBC blacked out here in Florida on COX Cable for about five minutes. Next thing I know we are in the red zone.
Trying desperately not to make Florida joke……………
And yet…you did!😏
Oh………so I did. 😅
Jamarco Jones is having a nice game at LG. He’s a big part of Collins’ monster 3rd qtr.
And DJ Reed. Solid game tonight.
Peacock owned
Even when JA makes a hard
tackle, he tackles the runner forward. LOL
Big Ben LOL
That’s a fumble
Watching Jamal Adams try to tackle Najee Harris is like watching Tyrion Lannister try to tackle The Mountain.
Fumble babyy….
That HAS to be a fumble!!
If it’s not a fumble this is a really stupid game
He literally goes to control it with his other hand (to reset) and drops it
Yes…this.
Me thinks we gonna get screwed here.
There are a million ways for the zebras to point shave.
I’ve got that feeling as well. Our history with the refs and Pittsburgh isnt good.
will we get screwed against the rothlisberger again?
Two words: Rooney Mara.
They are iterally desperately trying to figure out how to explain away them keeping the ball right now
VERY happy to be wrong
Roethlisberger thought bubble: “Wait, I’m supposed to get that call.”
Uhh if they punt this back and PIT drives for a score with no time left :/
Here come the flags….
Refs are pissed at pete for showing them up
Its their own fault. Love how they said “after further review, the call on the field is a fumble”…. Whaaa? That’s “call on the field of an incomplete pass is reversed” , morons!
I can’t remember the last time Seattle ran the ball this well or this easily
So of course… two passes, a loss of yards, out of FG range
And another poor punt from Dickson
OK, the refs will fix this for the stealers
How many balls is Geno going to get batted tonight? This is ridiculous
you would think after the 3rd one, they would roll him out of the pocket
TERRIBLE. Absolutely fking terrible
Why do we continue to call those plays on 3rd and long
Defeat from the jaws of victory…WTF offense was that?!
NFL referees drive
Chris Collinsworth just told us to do an illegal chop block on T.J. Watt.
Cut block, not chop block
Not the way I heard it.
Where’s the holding? Terrible phantom call and changed the drive.
Even so, Jamarco Jones is having himself a night.
The end of that drive is TOTALLY a product of a bad holding call made to help the stealers. FUCK YOU NFL!!!!
Critical play needed. Let’s go to our bread and butter screen play!
Why aren’t we throwing to DK instead? Baffling
Instead they’re throwing garbage screens. A six yard slant would’ve given us a shot at a FG. Not that I trust Myers much tbh.
On a slant
Meanwhile, the Steelers *never* hold
bad time for Dickson to have the worst game of his career
If we lose this game after this running performance in the second half, it will be terribly disheartening.
OK I expected worse, hopefully they don’t blow it now…
Gosh we are lucky the Steelers O is bad. Rushed 3 there and zero pressure when they just put in a backup LT.
They should just put Big Ben out there in a wheelchair so that they always get the “defenseless player” call.
He looks like he’d rather be sat in a chair right now
Man I really hope we throw a screen here. They’ll never expect it!
there it is
Someone’s pressing the ask madden button on offense
Who had the bright idea of having Tyler return punts?
Probably want to get the ball in his hands — because Geno is starting to look like a dear in headlights
Well, that was all too predictable
To the well a few too many times…same old Pete Carrol Offense…
too many throws behind the line of scrimmage
Was that Colby Parkinson in there split wide?
Bad thing about Russ not playing is that he’s able to observe with a clear head how bad our decision-making is.
Yes! More screens! We need to force that shit till it works!
To me it’s indicative of how little trust they have in the QB.
Playing not to lose
You would think this mentality is the mentality of losers.
Pete Carroll ball. He trusts his defense. We all know how this is going to end..
Uhh. Is this the most screens we’ve thrown in a game?
Why no quick hit passes past the line of scrimmage for Geno? Even TJack had a longer rope than Seattle giving Geno…
The NFL doesn’t even try to hide their favoritism and cheating for the stealers do they?
(yes, I’m still livid)
If Pittsburgh puts 3 points on the board, we’ll have a hard time scoring.
Can we try a deep shot at least once tonigh?
Might not get the ball back.
Do you trust Geno to stand and deliver? He’s playing scared right now
Well, I dont really trust him to do much. I just want to give our best players a chance to make a play. DK and Lockett havent been used enough tonight.
No, not Taylor please
His season should immediately end. #2021 Season 🙁 Hope he’s okay otherwise.
lovers. Taylor down. I hate you 2021 season.
No doubt. This sucks. For him. For the team. This just sucks – one of our only decent young, talented cost effective players. But most importantly, for him and his life.
Taylor hurt….no no no no!
This is the year where the 49ers had everyone hurt and out for long lengths of time and they had a terrible record. At least they got Bosa out of it so we can look forward to something like that……oh wait…
This is awful.
I really hope he’s ok
I don’t care about this game anymore, I hope they’re just being cautious and he’ll be fine.
I thought he was moving his legs.
Hopefully this is just precautionary.
Avril walked off field.
He was moving his legs. Good sign.
That doesn’t mean he will play football again – Cliff Avril, Kam Chancellor…
Yeah…😣
So those looks on field have a career ending feel. Just awful. Hawks are cursed with career ending neck injuries to great players. Taylor has that look of being great.
Sigh
damn
Please don’t end his career. I’m sick watching this.
The big bright spot of the season. Absolutely brutal. I don’t think this is a career ender, he was moving arms and legs but this can really hurt his psyche.
Both teams on field and like a 10 min delay. Scares the shit out of me.
“The big bright spot of the season”
Agree. Very deflating
Pete and his clock mgmt. Why would you not use a time out before the 2:00?
He still doesnt understand you have to use your timeouts on defense.
And calling it before tje 2 minute warning is just coaching 101.
Don’t get me started on PC clock management.
Game over. Running it down our throats…
Al Woods wagging his finger…after giving up 5 yards
I’ve seen most of the NFL worst injuries since I saw Theisman….live. I have horrible luck in that regard. I’m praying its just precautionary and Taylor is ok…
JAMAL WHAT THE FUCK
Hes clueless out there lmfao
Peacock!
Fucking Adams you piece of shit!
Is it possible to be laughing and pissed at the same time?
I have no words. WTF PEACOCK?
Jamal Adams. Game Changer
The ball was the game changer…. Adams is not.
It hit you in the fucking face Jamal, useless lump
33 Showing elite ball skills yet again…
I bet Adam Gase is rolling on the floor laughing right now
You know the Jets’ GM is.
“Best in the nation”
What an absolute freaking joke of a player
Some one please tell me what just happened, only getting play updates from ESPN.
Peacock had a sure interception doink off his hands and face
Nice catch puke.
When we lose, I hope he gets crucified at the podium about his shit ability to catch a ball.
Remember last year when everyone said he couldn’t catch because of his finger injury?
Yes. And it better come up in full force.
Multiple first rounders. 17 million per. Bought that.
You left out the 3rd rounder
You left out McDougal
🙁
Adams could have won us the game there.
Just terrible.
How bad does Peacock have to play to get benched for Neal, for Pete to send him a message? Literally asking. I doubt Pete would ever bench him.
Geno!? 3 yard gains in the middle of the field
Pete clock management vs adams ball skills
Who wins that deathmatch.
I have ZERO faith in Myers here
What the hell?!?! DK why did you not just go the out of bounds?!?
Total bonehead play by him
wow….
we fucking BETTER have 1 second refs
What the fuck is DK Metcalf doing? STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dumbass DK….
What a dumb play by DK
Are you kidding me?
Is it just me or do the Seahawks have an abundance of weird plays, big mental gaffs, or obscure rule issues?
All those come down to poor coaching
terrible awareness by Metcalf. Horrible
Does anyone need some whiskey?
weed?
Not here in Florida.
LOL Just poured an Absolut on the rocks.
Yey Myers. But I don’t trust our team to get anything from this.
You’ve got nothing else to trust right now lol. Lets go #2021 Shithawks.
Fumbled twice on that drive and somehow still alive, classic Hawks
Let me just day this..
Even as so so is Geno is, offense played better 2nd half than with Russ all season.
At the same time, Russ will make a great OC.
Can’t help wonder how it would have been with Russ on the pitch against a weak Steelers D. Can’t compare, and Geno played at most average.
don’t think much would’ve changed from the first half, but he would’ve went deep after running so well in the 2nd
Nooo we’ve definitely had halves where the offense was better. Also note we were running the ball more successfully this game than we have any game since the Colts game. That first TD drive Geno only threw a single WR screen pass and the rest were runs.
They played better cuz the offensive line played better. Best run blocking of the season.
Crazy what happens when they get more presnap motion and creative in the run game.
Is taking the ball the smart move there?
In OT I think it’s always the right move.
“We want the ball and we’re going to score!”
ouch
another one that still hurts, nt badly but a little bit anyway
Classy of Russ to be out there coaching Luton on the finer points of calling the coin toss.
I think he is the captain. Otherwise, he cannot.
Only the hawks can win a game and have me feeling like we got blown out. This team lives to destroy its fanbase. They refuse to do anything easy.
Collins out?
Run game left with him
and Damien Lewis
Steelers getting better against the run
This game deserves a tie. I hate this game.
Where’s Collins?
Gotta be dinged……….right?
At least everyone who got excited about Geno and said he’s better than Russ will have a reason to shut up.
you really think they will?
see below this post
I doubt Russ would have attempted that throw over the middle to Lockett. Also may have gotten sacked the same as Geno there
Wait, people think he’s better than russ?!
A lot of fans actually think this. Today was about as well as Geno can play and everyone would have roasted RW for the performance.
All Geno proves is that any half way decent quarterback can work this offense.
BTW geno has not been good today. Barely serviceable imo
They scored 20 points…against a bad team.
Quite the take away.
Hmm that last play with Geno getting tackled on the drop looked just like a Wilson play.
Shell vs watt one on one?
Yes!! Great tackler Brown!!!
Awesome play!
Hey Jamal, THAT’S a tackle!
Tre Brown!
JA and Tre Brown with two great tackles.
Geno with a garbage play to lose the game.
Hes just gonna turn it over at some point.
He always has.
Lose this effing game on a dumb fumble play.
OOPSEY, well that didn’t end well. Who could have guessed that ending? Other than everybody?
If I’m Pittsburgh I kick it straight away.
sigh
Geno. The anti russ. Clutch with the loss.
Two games in a row losing it on a turnover. This one was 100% on him.
TJ Watt won that game by himself in overtime while Jamal dropped the interception. That was really the difference, both QBs were trash as expected, but their blue-chipper actually earned his salary.
adams needs to take tackling lessons from the rookie smh
How come our highest paid defensive player doesn’t make those game winning plays. We need to draft that tj watt guy. And not trade for that Jamal adams guy. Someone should tell the seahawks that.
Seahawks just dont know how to properly use Jamal.
Did you see his hyper celebration with Brown after the tackle?
He’s the super elite cheerleader: PC needs to put him on the sidelong and give him some pompoms.
post of the day
TJ Watt = Winner
Jamal Adams = Loser
Both had chances to do what they’re paid handsomely to do and only one was man enough to get it done.
Overshadowed by TJ Watt was the unbelievable performance by Tre Brown on that 3rd down play to give Geno a chance (to lose). That was a man’s man play (like Watt continually did late).
I’m going to go ride my ATV now…
agree 100%
I cannot get over that missed interception by Adams. If he didn’t have a helmet on it would have broken his nose. Best in the nation?! CATCH THE F’ING FOOTBALL!!!
