Phenomenal Catch by Ricardo Lockette

That one where Russell threw it a little too far out in front of him, that was a great catch!. Not sure why they didn't go to him more often because he seemed to have the hot hand.

Yes. He played well. And no stupid penalties or chirping.

Yes! I was so pleased with him after he caught the ball for the first down and didn't throw it into anyone's face.

Was a great catch at a crucial time. I hope we use him against NE - everyone will be looking for Kearse, Baldwin, and Willson; could quietly unnoticed.

Yeah i remember that catch too and I was in awe just because it wasn't the most fair thrown ball but he extended our drive instead of a 3 and out.

I've been surprised we haven't used Lockette more all year. Remember he was used a few times in the first couple games and made plays. Then he stopped getting targets.

He's always seemed to be a good receiver when Russ throws him the ball. Wish he would get more looks.

He has elite speed and I don't see why we can't use him a bit more.

Seriously elite.

I wonder if it has anything to do with him being overwhelmingly voted "Most likely to get yelled at by a coach" by his teammates (source: http://seattletimes.com/html/seahawks/2025408583_seahawkssurvey09xml.html).

I wish they'd use him more, too. He's got explosive speed and good hands. Although they did give him a fly sweep yesterday, didn't they?

Yes they did. The only problem with that is that he isn't quick when changing direction. Hit him on a crossing pattern and let him build up some speed.

Russell is too nice, goes for redemption over performance.

lockette should be able to dog browner especially, and the other ne corner too. browner might be on willson though. could be a 3rd corner out there for ne. whatever the matchups, lockette is going to dog the ne dbs. nobody can cover lockette.

If it wasn't for the fact that we had some many epic plays in crunchtime I'd have put that catch up for most important play, third down catch at a time where we REALLY needed momentum and he pulls that out?

Everybody stood up when their name was called yesterday.

Lockette occasionally does some stupid things but I loved seeing him more involved like on the reverse they ran to him. He has elite speed and he is big and doesn't shy away from a hit. Hopefully he used more now that Richardson is gone and Norwood was apparently a no show!

Didn't he get a hand off yesterday and turn a 3 yard loss into a 3 yard gain? I love him he's a clutch player and he's awesome on special teams. Very under rated.

And he would have gotten some serious yards if Moeaki would have held up on his block. However, IIRC he was trying to block Clay Matthews, and that's a tough job for anybody.

We all know Browner can be beat deep and R.L. is the perfect guy to do it with.

Revis will shut Lockette down. Lockette doesn't run good enough routes, and isn't explosive enough out of his breaks to give Revis problems. He'll give Browner issues as Browner will over play some things to account for the disparity in speed.

I thought Lockette improved a ton this year. In years past, he didn't run the right routes and dropped a few balls, but he's seemed to improved a lot in both areas. With his size and speed combination, I honestly don't know why he's not featured more for us.
