TD LOCKETT!

 

[WizardHawk]

Another sign of why they need to get Lockett more involved in the passing game. That guy is going to tear up the league if given a chance.

 

[blstoker]

Wow, didn't expect Lockett to fight 3 defenders on his back for 3 extra yards.

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Tyler FUCKING Lockett. Graded this kid an A when we took him. Went ignored. You're seeing it now folks.

We've been saying for weeks, if you aren't going to get Graham the ball ffs get it to Lockett. Either should be able to do more than Baldwin or Kearse.

 

[blstoker]

Rawls needs 9 yards to have 100 for the first half.

The line has been a bigger factor in Lynch's lack of explosion than anything related to his health or age. He's still a very smart runner that has excellent ball control and his experience will be needed if this team has any shot at post season.

He won't be a big factor though if he doesn't start picking it up ... We haven't seen anything from Lynch at all this year so far... Part of that is little nagging injuries, but part could be because his tires are getting low.. He's closing in on 30 and we know what that does to most physical backs... He's gonna be 30 in April ... This could be Lynch's last year as a Seahawk... I love Lynch and what he's done for this franchise, but so far this year you can't argue that he hasn't been the same...

Have to make my first comment about the page one comments, they gave me a good chuckle. Really!? Some of you thought the Seahawks might lose this game? I understand the cynicism about a 4-5 start, but have you not considered the "how's and who's" we've lost to in the 4th qtr., let alone the last two years and the whole Carroll, Schneider, Wilson era?

This team is set up to pull off what the Steelers did in 2005, though only with the help of the officials and win a SB from the WC spot. This is Seahawk time, the big push in the last half of the season and enter the playoffs as the most talented, most depth, playoff experience, and on a locomotive roll. And they should watch some young Husky Pups Basketball games to remember their youth and talent!

 

[blstoker]

Nice to see Gabbert isn't afraid to throw it deep. That could be good for Seattle.

Never said anything about next year. That's a whole different conversation. This may well be his last year, or should be. However, this offense this year was still built around him and we know the punishment backs take. You can't go into the stretch with just Rawls and Jackson as your only running options on a run first team.

Whether or not Rawls should get more carries if both are healthy, Lynch will be needed.

When I said I thought we'd see Rawls more, it was as in more than we saw him not more than Lynch.

 

[blstoker]

All right guys, move the ball again and get another TD before half. Keep the momentum and the rhythm going even with the lead.

 

[WizardHawk]

I'm just saying there's room for that debate. Who gets how many when is a legit debate. The 'trade him NOW' crap isn't IMO. You are always a lot more rational than some of our more... emotional fans up here.

 

[HaroldSeattle]

Yeah all this trade him, him and him and fire him and him can wait for the off season.

 

[WizardHawk]

Lynch would have bounced that play back. Rawls just lowered his head and accepted defeat.

 

[WizardHawk]

Rawls > Lynch right now when there's a legit hole to move through, but Lynch > Rawls on blown blocks/plays and YAC. When healthy of course.

 

[blstoker]

Offense playing really well, in all their splits

 

[WizardHawk]

Good use of the challenge there. They will move that ball back about 2 yards.

OH no doubt I'm not saying bench the guy, but he so far, hasn't been the Lynch we've seen in the past... Part injuries, part O-line, but part could be age and the wear on the tires... But when you watch Rawls it's like seeing 10 times the energy and explosiveness.. Lynch has just seemed slow so far this year, maybe he picks it up ... But we'll see..
