We should offer Cable as a two-fer special. Sweeten the deal. Make it happen.

And on the other side of the coin, I see lots of plays and drives that are carefully orchestrated within the makeup of the Bevell-designed offense.johnnyfever":2x4wqwb6 said:Siouxhawk":2x4wqwb6 said:Thanks for thinking of me Mr. WKRP, but I really just want to see the continued success of the Seahawks and I think Bevell is the best guy for the job.

The issue is you are looking at our record and making the incorrect analysis that it is because of bevell.
Look at the explosive plays in our comebacks, our scoring drives. These happen off of a broken play where russ is scrambling. Why do you think all of our offense comes in the 4th qtr? Have you ever really watched why that is?
It is because that is when the team takes it on it's shoulders. The plays are just as broken as the 1st 3 qtrs, but the sense of urgency forces russ and the boys to scramble, make amazing catches etc.
That is why we are so frustrated. These 4th qr "backyard football" situations show we have immense talent on this team. The 1st 3 qtrs when they are running the plays exactly how Bevell lays them out do not work. He does not take advantage of the talent he has. He instead magnifies our OL deficiencies by calling runs up the middle and long developing plays.
You are looking at only the record. The devil is always in the details. Those of us who don't like Bevell have come to this conclusion from watching the details, breaking down why we can't seem to start well, what is working and what isn't. For lack of a better term, we pay more attention to the gameplan and as such can see the glaring mistakes being made.
As I have said before, our success is in spite of him, not because of him. You are misplacing the reason for our offensive successes and failures.

And of course he's a part of compiling the wins. I never said he should get credit entirely, but it's flat out poor reasoning to not attribute a complementary portion of the success of the Hawks the last 5 years to the Bevell-designed offense.
And the old sign-song about it just being the players is poppycock. The offensive coaching staff led by Bevell takes great measures to work with the players in the classroom and on the field in installing the game plan. They give them their assignments and the players execute. That's what they're paid to do.
And being a team that finishes strong actually supports my belief in Bevell as he's the one making halftime and in-game adjustments to give us the final thrust we need in those tight ballgames.And as I've said all along, he's making Russ a more cerebral quarterback in setting pass protections and switching to audibles when he notices a tendency in the defense that we can exploit. Those are byproducts of all those learning sessions he's had with Bevell or Karl Smith.

Who give's a rat's butt about those teams. Four of them didn't make the playoffs. What part of this don't you get?WindCityHawk":aos8tzzh said:Siouxhawk":aos8tzzh said:You don't need to glorify.

Teams that posted higher points per game than Seattle with weaker offensive rosters:
Dolphins
Titans
Redskins
Chargers
Raiders
Colts
Those are 6 of the 17 teams that more ppg than we did, because we were 18th in the league.
Truth.
*Fun fact: the only team with lower ppg than us to make the playoffs is Detroit. Otherwise, we are the weakest scoring team in the post season this year.

You seem like you've been around long enough to figure out the formula that this team evolves around. Obviously you don't understand it.

If Sioux could work his magic with Elway there would be 2 crisp $100 bills headed his way from my wallet. Of course he'd have to have picture proof like him, DB, and Elway shaking hands on the deal. :2thumbs:randomation":2on62ks8 said:We should send Sioux to extol his virtues to Elway not only will he hire him he will make him the highest paid coach in the league but it would be such a shame to lose him :twisted:
Well John did get an up-close-and-personal look at our offense shredding his defense 3 years ago on a pretty big stage. I'm sure that still resonates.Sports Hernia":3rcqsok4 said:If Sioux could work his magic with Elway there would be 2 crisp $100 bills headed his way from my wallet.

Yes, we outgained the No. 1 offense in the league BY 40 YARDS. That's offensive production. It's real. Fantastic catches by Doug and Jermaine. We dominated! Offense and defense work together on this team. They feed off of one another. Have for the last 5 years.WindCityHawk":1lf6hcix said:Siouxhawk":1lf6hcix said:Well John did get an up-close-and-personal look at our offense shredding his defense 3 years ago on a pretty big stage.

We had 3 offensive TDs in that game, and 1 was in garbage time. We had the same 3rd down conversation rate as Denver, and outgained them by a whopping 35 yards (341/306).
Not that I'm complaining about the result, of course, but don't revise history. Denver committed 4 turnovers. Our Defense/Special Teams dominated that game. Again, you're giving Bevell credit for things he had nothing to do with.
