Game Thread: Week 18: Seahawks @ Cardinals Thread

[blstoker]

Zero surprise. 3 targets already to McBride... Seattle under Pete historically (excluding LOB years) have never been able to cover tight ends or screens. That's exactly what Arizona came out with. And while Brooks got his hand out there and deflected it, there was a bit of last minute luck (he was beat, no head turned). If that ball is slightly higher, McBride has another big gain.

I'm really trying to show that it doesn't appear Murray really trusts any of his receivers except McBride

Why can't our OL run block? Good lord... Good thing KW can pivot on a dime

Probably not... but why would you when your opposing team's defense historically sucks at covering tight ends and screen receivers?

I don't think Walker was who Carroll wanted. I think it was a Schneider/Waldron pick... Walker is most effective bouncing to the outside, using zone blocking, etc. Carroll likes to ram guys right up the middle.

Dissly sighting...

A Dissley sighting.

Dissly sighting...

Man what happened to Dissly? Just injuries? He used to be a pretty decent lock at receiver and one of the best blocking TEs in the league. His snap counts continue to be down and less of an impact to prior years (given prior years he had more or close to what he has now and was injured).

Dissly sighting...

I know he's overpaid, but I really feel he (and the other tight ends) is woefully underutilized.

Metcalf straight up dropped that

Announcer: "Spilled the Charbonnet there folks.... k we'll stop there."

Not sure what announcer said that... but that's the most respect I've had for an announcer all year.

Decent drive given where it started, but of course they came up short again. Mostly that was not having the right play on a pressure down.

Very underutilized... Especially Noah Fant... This is why I don't like the Mocks that have us taking the TE from Georgia... We don't use our TE's very much in the passing game...

 

[blstoker]

Not sure how that isn't affecting DKs attempt at the ball, since the db played DK and not the ball.

Reason I meant that, was if we can fire Carroll or are assured he's gone by 2025 (where you still have Bowers on 4 more years). Also, basically all the TEs will be released (we're not paying Dissly that money next year) so you have basically nobody that can filled. Everyone keeps screaming to draft EDGE... I mean, we have been. Mafe, Hall, Owosu brought in, Jones supposed to help in pass rush. That's why I'm done with Carroll. We spend all this money/draft capital on D and they still can't do shit. Put Bowers on a team with McVay and he's on the HOF path.

Nice to see Myers recover from his slow start. He's also in position to have his first season without a missed PAT.

Tied at the moment for field goals made (34, with Todd Peterson - 99 and Myers himself last year). Field goals attempted you are correct he takes the lead (which is I'm assuming what you meant, but thought I'd clarify for any other posters).

 

[Anointed One]

Great... J. Love is hurt, too... He and Brooks now...
