Game Thread: Wk 14: Seahawks @ Texans

Why the hell are we starting Curhan over Forsythe who played very well against BOSA? Curhan is HORRIBLE at right tackle.

Looks like they're gonna spread the carries around to each RB today.

Ugh... Thought we were going to push it into the EZ...

Who??

So, Eskridge was supposed to take on the DE while Brown was supposed to lead? One reason Houston was able to stretch that play out.

I don't mind spreading the majority between 2 but to give 3 guys equal amount of snaps? I don't like that... It doesn't allow a guy to get into a groove...

Who??

our rookie RT

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Who??

We're starting this dork: Jake Curhan | Seattle Seahawks T | NFL and PFF stats | PFF - an undrafted rookie this year.

Over the guy who is 6'9" who pass blocked VERY well against Nick Bosa (49ers) who we drafted in the 6th with one of our THREE picks this year. Yes it was a small amount of snaps, but he did well. Let's see MORE of him in likely a lost season to see if there's a potential future there and even if Carroll is still 'playing for the playoffs', Curhan appears to be a lost cause this season. Maybe he'll improve in the offseason but for now get someone else in there.

Can Penny be slower? Running in marshmallows.

Well, they keep calling plays like the last one - no one's gonna get into a groove.

Houston strategy: "Throw towards #56."

 

[blstoker]

Woods supposed to cover the slot receiver from the interior DL? WTF!!!!

 

[boogiewithstu2007]

Nice play 23 !

It's a Waldron style play... the problem is you have to have mobile blockers to work that kind of play... Seattle never acquired mobile blockers, Waldron can't really run the system he wants with the offense he has to work with.

I think it's why Wilson will want out. Basically the strat from the coaches right now is: "Hey Wilson, go make something happen please." And if he's healthy he can/does. It's the reason Jody Allen is not happy with the current regime right now... (she's publicly said that).

Wow their punter made it stop inside the 10 I wonder if they spent a 5th round pick on him?

 

[Anointed One]

Good job by the defense... What a helk of a punt, though...

 

[Podunkparte]

Anyone catch Al Woods dropping into coverage again on that last drive?

How can an NFL D coordinator be so dumb that that happens more than 1 time?

C'mon now. Dickson is probably 1 of 5 players actually elite at his position... the worst he ranked with inside 20 punts? 6th.... Then he was 3rd, 2nd, and granted we've had a lot of punts this year, now 1st.... guy is the best punter in the league. Someone would've paid him.

Carroll: "We're going to drop the DT in coverage?"
Norton: "YAH! They'll never expect it and wouldn't it be cool if a DT got an interception!?"
Carroll: *stops chewing gum* "Dial it in."

Lockett having a huge game... He is suck an amazing route runner...
