I think the Oline did better today...

[Hawkpower]

Wilson was getting rid of the ball quicker than normal today, which helped the line.

This. He wasn't scrambling nearly as often as he has this season. Better looking route concepts and splitting graham out wide frequently was also a factor.

Exactly.

The o-line is bad. But good QB play can help negate that.

Wilson had been making the problem worse.

Today he got the ball out quick. FINALLY.

They seemed a little better this game, but Wilson was better too.
At least Sweezy didn't appear to have grass stains all over the BACK of his uniform like last game...lol

That'll happen when you're wearing navy blue and playing on artificial turf.

Did you guys watch a different game? Russ was hit or hurried on 50% of his dropbacks not to mention the greg hardy to the QB play. It was utter trash as usually just Russ got the ball out just in time for the most part.

to be fair, it went from horeendous to really bad today. That makes it SEEM better than it was.

It was lousy

No drop off without Okung. Hmmm.... Yeah our eyes weren't lying. He's not as Rick solid as some believe. Why does Russell miss all those throws he used to make. He must need to run a little to get his mojo goin.

Yeah, I knew that....lol

Let me rephrase : At least Sweezy didn't spend as much time on his back as he did last game...!!

He is the master of jumping on a pile after the play. Makes it look like he is hustling. His guy is usually making the tackle though.

I don't know if that is play calling or coaching emphasis or what. It needed to happen starting in week one. Russell, the OL and Bevell aren't good enough to try to run plays will RW standing in the pocket surveying the field all day. Russ is responsible for A LOT of his sacks. Granted this OL isn't a good pass blocking line but RW is too talented to just stand there and wait for the collapse. His timing is really off this season with his passing. He is missing too many open receivers. I want to be happy about the progress in the "protection" but I think we have a long way to get to an average passing attack and without it the offense can only get 3 points in the last 2 quarters which won't be enough to be a competitive team. We face tougher defenses starting with our next game.

I honestly don't think Arizona's defense is that much better than Dallas. And we get that one at HOME.

I saw a lot of progression from the offense today. I know that seems silly when they only put up 13 points and lacked big play punch, but they are starting to introduce some scheme changes that are helping. And the line IS getting better.

 

[seahawkfreak]

Did better ... and will improve even more with the return of Okung.

We will? Out of the 31 sacks this season he's allowed 5

 

[idahohawk]

I chalk this one up to just being a weird day. Fluke INT, blocked FG, one of the two RZ trips being in an ultra conservative game situation. Both teams ran well which shortened the game. Some drops. Weird game. Just glad Seattle snuck out with a win.

Still hate the 3rd and manageable deep passes, but I agree with you. Tough road win against a talented, desperate opponent. Take the W and run.

Huh. And no Okung. That's weird.

How long is he out? Just 1?

And there was this player specific note .........
