Game 1: Seahawks vs. 49ers

Yeah, Dirty mark looks to be in an early sophomore slump, while I do think Curry was improved and will continue to start looking legit. He was a great asset in the run game and he's always riding that Docket edge of a little too nasty, which is probably good.

In other news...while Curry is what he is, I'm watching the Jets game and seeing Sanchez do absolutely nothing. Do the Ravens have a great defense? Absolutely, but the Jets still have a good [if no longer great] offensive line. And Sanchez is unable to do much of anything. Poor clock management, getting his recievers killed over the middle, checking down when the clock is ticking away...

The Seahawks do need a QB for the future, but it may be fortuitous that Ruskell decided to stay in 'win now' mode and pass Sanchez by.

I get what you're saying, Sweezo, but I had a different take on it. I saw a QB who wasn't allowed to be a QB, more than anything else. For heavens' sake, they would hardly even let him pass the ball on 1st down, most of the time not even 2nd down. Until the last moments of the game, he had only 14 pass attempts, and most of those were in situations that weren't favorable to them being completed, times when the defensive schemes were able to much more defend against the pass.

I'm not saying that Sanchez looked all that good or anything. But I am saying that he wasn't given much of a chance to look much good at all, especially against a defense the caliber of the Ravens. Hell, the Jet fans were openly booing the play-calling, as they should have.
