Sando's Observations


"... Linebacker Patrick Willis welcoming Seahawks rookie left guard James Carpenter to the NFL with a sledgehammer hit. Carpenter had pulled across the formation and was turning upfield to his left when Willis greeted him. Willis got lower than Carpenter and launched into him so hard that he separated Carpenter from his helmet. Slow-motion replays showed Carpenter's helmet staying in place while his head moved backward quickly enough to leave behind the helmet. Teammate Ray McDonald tackled Marshawn Lynch in the backfield..."

Man, we desperately need to get this guy and the rest of our SuperStars a post season game or two, and hopefully, in the not too distant future, three!

So grateful that the NFL still recognizes Willis as one of the best LBs or the very best LB in the game today.... being in SF with minor primetime viewing, he could've easily been lost.

I feel a nasty hit on Felix Jones by Mr Willis in the near future.

So true!! IMO, we have a future HOF'er in Patrick Willis!

Defensive tackle Will Tukuafu taking his time before going after the Tarvaris Jackson fumble he caught and returned in Seattle territory. Tukuafu said he didn't want to alert the man blocking him, Russell Okung, that the ball was in play. Okung's back was to the ball, but if Tukuafu had disengaged from the block and made it clear he was going after the ball, Okung could have stopped him. As things played out, Okung had no idea what happened until Tukuafu was running downfield.

Very sneaky. I like it.

Really smart on Tukuafu's part... It maybe a bit early to say but it is a good thing the Niners decided to keep him instead of cutting him and hoping he could be signed on the PS

A 2nd yr guy no? But wow, what a smart heads up move. I would've gone hard seeing that in the air and ignore all caution.... Good sh*t on him playing it cool in a pivotal moment.
