Seahawk talk

Thomas is getting new looks from offenses.

Seattle's Thomas seeing new looks from opponents - Seahawks News - MyNorthwest.com

The Seattle Seahawks' free safety noticed a new way that San Francisco tried to take him out of the game last Sunday. While the 49ers were careful not to throw in Thomas' direction very often, it was San Francisco sending receivers downfield to try and block Thomas that caught him by surprise.
It was the first time Thomas could remember an opponent trying to take him out of the play in that way. But as teams are learning, limiting Thomas' impact is one of the best ways to try and have success against Seattle's defense that ranks first in the NFL in total defense heading into Sunday's game against the Giants.
"They were sending receivers to the third level for free safety crack blocks. You never see that," Thomas said. "It caught me off guard but after the game I looked at it like a sign of respect and I've got to add that to my repertoire of how offenses want to take me out of the game."


Interesting twist from OCs. Not a bad idea, when you think about it.

Sure it can, just ask the Niners how they felt after that ass kicking they got in Seattle. I'm sure that was a wake up call to them. So this loss to the Niners should be a wake up call for the Seahawks.

It was such a wake up call they went out and lost to Indy at home.

If you just want to come to our boards and be a dick, please limit your dickiness to the smack talk thread.

We give everyone a forum to let their inner rage out, as long as you dont get too stupid. (More than can be said about the Whiners forum)

Lol

Ohhh, the Hawks are so much more "overconfident" than everyone else and that will be their downfall.

Get the Fuck out of here with that bullshit.

 

[SonnyCID]

They are still going to win the division but they didn't get their win last week. Also if Seahawks players aren't worried about the Niners and view them as a glorified practice than they are morons the playoffs are a different beast.

Yeah, playing at the Clink is à différent beast too.

That's the Niners problem for not being prepared.

Yes it is, the Seahawks haven't beaten the Niners under Harbaugh away from Seattle, in fact they haven't beat the Niners in San Francisco since 2008.

Congrats and make sure you Harb's a cookie too.

It was the Seahawks problem for not being prepared last weekend. My point was that the Niners beating in Seattle led to another beating by Indy so not that much of a change, however after that they won 5 in a row, hopefully they'll win 6 in a row this time to end the regular season, that would be a good start to a Super Bowl run.

 

[jerseyhawksfan79]

Then yes, the culture has changed or else the Niners would be in a losing streak.

The Niners haven't beaten Seattle in Seattle since 2011 Carroll 2nd season it's a tough place to play simple as that.

 

[poewelch84]

but not in a week which was my point.

After an ass kicking like the Niners got or a 2pt loss the Seahawks got, the very next day the culture changes for better or worse. We know what happen to SF whether or not they took the Colts for granted or not, but that Monday after the Seattle game the culture of the locker room changed. We'll see what happens to Seattle tomorrow, but i'm sure there's a whole different light shinning in that locker room.

If they meet again this year it will be in Seattle...... so who gives a shit about playing at the Stick?

Most likely yes, but my point is your team doesn't fair any better against the Niners on the road than the Niners do in Seattle.

I never claimed otherwise. Though Seattle's final scores in SF have been competitive. SF's not so much. So they do "fair better", not enough though.

They've had a couple games in San Fran where they got thrashed since Carroll took over just not in the past two season.

That's true. Things have changed a bit since then though.

Both teams have improved a bunch, I hated watching the Erikson, Nolan and Singletary 49ers the owners finally got it right. Honestly I was hoping they would sell the team for the longest time the Yorks had been terrible owners.

Really goes to show how much football is still a coaches game.
