Black Santa and the Gift of Interior Pressure

The Seattle Seahawks had a problem, a very bad problem. Their top-ranked pass defense from a season before was no longer top-ranked. And all the boys and girls of Seattle thought for sure pressure was the problem. Without pressure on the opposing quarterback, even the legendary guard of the Legion of Boom could not gayly rip and rampage, steal and embarrass. Passes were completed. Drives, continued. And frauds were left unexposed.

Whatever could Pete Carroll do? "Maybe pass rush," he thought, "doesn't come from a store. Maybe pass rush ... perhaps ... takes more than four!" And what happened then? Well ... in Seattle they say, Black Santa's small part grew three sizes that day!

And the minute his role didn't feel quite so tight, he whizzed through blockers with nary a fight. And he brought back the sacks! And picks for the Boom! And he, HE HIMSELF! Black Santa brought Doom!

That is what bad O-Line play looks like folks - from one of the best lines in the game. If that was our line people would be up in arms about how it's the worst line in the league.

I don't mean to be mean, but that article is so poorly written I couldn't be bothered to finish.
