Props to Avril

He was on fire yet again. Insane performance.

I agree, and thanks for starting this thread. I don't think he gets near the props he deserves sometimes. I think he's on pace to have his best year yet with us?

Incredible game by him.

His one handed throw down of Palmer while not even looking was hilarious yet awesome

BWagz had the flashy plays, but I had Avril penciled in as the MVP of this game.

He's on pace for 19 sacks this year. 6.5 sacks in 6 games.

Avril is on fire this season. And I think it was against the Jets where Bennett got pissed about that blindside hit to his head and was about to kill the guy who hit him, but Avril grabbed onto him and wouldn't let go to prevent him from drawing a personal foul penalty. Loved that.

Without Avril, we lose that game last night. The bslap to Palmer was awesome.

2.5 sacks by him last night! He has been straight ballin' all year.

I chalk it up to me wearing my Cliff Avril jerseys yesterday while sitting on my couch watching the game. That HAD to have an effect.

He was on fire. Then we dropped him into coverage on the biggest 3rd and long in the 4th quarter. Pissed me off.

He has been incredible all year.

Avril has always been consistently good and well worth his contract. Great complement to Bennett in that they both help each other by not allowing O-lines to key on one of them. This year he is on fire!

Great thing is he is signed through the 2018 season. He will be 32 then and it will be interesting how much he will have left in the tank.

Avril has been consistently good to great. Avril and Bennett - by far the best free agent signings of the PC/JS era.

Absolutely agreed. With so much talent on that side of the ball a "B+" player like Avril gets totally lost in the reputational shuffle, and gets basically ignored when praise is being dolled out.

My summary of announcer Seahawks D Praise:

1) Sherman & ET (The best, the absolute best, and showered with praise!)
2) Bennett (And don't forget about Bennett for the more discerning fans!)
3) Kam (We're going to ignore him a lot of the time so that we can then talk about how you can't ignore him!)
4) Wagner (High praise and superlatives on splash plays, but praise disappears for long stretches just like he disappears in games sometimes)
5) KJ Wright (He's our Seahawks deep cut! That we're talking about how great he is means we really know what we're talking about!)
6) Avril (Oh, yeah, he exists too or something, and is pretty good I guess)

The fact that we got both of them in the same offseason just adds to how amazing it was to get them.
