Well - having a first round talent step in at the poition he was groomed for may not be a bad thing. Let's see if he can step up.
However, this does limit our ability to put our best pass rushing 4 up.

I'm excited. Let's see what the kid's got.
I wonder... had he been an every-down back (on passing plays), would his stats increase three-fold?

Earlier Bruce tweeted this:
"If Clem is out I think he has [done] enough these past 20 weeks of getting me ready for situations like this. I will b fine people!"
Hope Clem is a good mentor!

I don't worry about Irvin's ability to pass rush. I worry about his ability to stay disciplined and play the rush attack that Atlanta can dish out. Bring it Bruce! BRING IT!

Bruce needs to have a very good game for us on Sunday if we want to win in Atlanta.

Bruce is not built to be an every down DE. The Falcons may find they indeed DO have a running game - when every play comes right at Irvin.

One thing's for sure; I'll be extremely curious to see how well he does.

Chris Clemons loss is huge. The loss of Clemons is having a ripple effect on the defense ...... in fact, we saw a preview of what will be after Clemons went down in the Redskins game. Scruggs and Wright became more active pass rushers. Quote: “Bruce Irvin will step up and take a bunch of those snaps,” said Carroll, adding that rookie Greg Scruggs also will be involved in the rotation and possibly strongside linebackers K.J. Wright and Mike Morgan.

I'm oddly excited. This is almost like when Trufant went down.... Next man up was Sherman.
Have some faith in our FO guys, they picked up this guy cause he was damn special. I hate to have expectations for unknown products like this (first start), but I think he's gonna do well. Just a thought.

http://www.seahawks.com/news/articles/a ... 2cfc3c622aI like to hear it. Not Clemmons injury of course, but some creativity in pressure packages. I am intrigued to say the least with the idea of Scruggs at LDE.

Wont it just be a nice time for him to prove him self to those pundits and the national audience with a couple sacks. I am excited for sure.
Bet we will see some chipping from Gonzalez.

By my lying eyes he looks much skinnier than Clemons or anyone else out there. I would have guessed he was about 20 lbs lighter than Clemons just from looking at him.
