Danny's .02:

1. Defensive lapes
Are they getting tired keeping us in games? Certainly it shows when we get gouged by over achievers for unexpected yardage. The key to the D might be time of possesion on O this week.

2. 0-no-Line
No Unger is bad, they were already bad, but now it's really bad again. I'm wondering if we'll see more Bailey at LT this game to keep Paul from looking like a statue on the edge.

3. Kearsed
Just a hunch, but with Harvin looming and Rice out. Kearse might be a great deep target over the top for some jump balls or find a seam on a return.

4. Girly named running backs who haven't gotten a chance.
I think we need tons of runs to help Russ from being tenderized further. I'd still like to see Michael get some burn.


Predictions-
Atlanta 17 Seattle 21

[Danny Darko]

sorry for my absence last week. I had gigs at wineries and I was off grid. Thanks for throwin one up.

I'm scared about this one. No Unger? On the road without 3/5 of our starting line? Russell's been taking a beating, and while he hasn't been listed on the official injury report I think it's safe to say he's a little beat up. They've got to keep him safe. One loss doesn't doom a season, but one injury can.

[Sweezo]

Nice opening drive. They moved the ball around and kept Russell safe. I'll take the 3 points.

[Danny Darko]

keep that ground pound going, please. It will pay off down the road and like I said- possession time might be the key to how spry our D looks.

[Danny Darko]

uh oh.... good time for a turnover

[Danny Darko]

Kearsed!

[Sweezo]

I love plays where they get the ball in Tate's hands and get him into open space. Those WR screens are such a good fit for him, and it certainly doesn't hurt to put that in the defense's head when you want to take shots downfield.

[Sweezo]

Kearsed!

The pass protection's looked good, which means we've had our first chance to really see the offense work without Sidney Rice. And it looks so much better. Kearse may not have Rice's size but he's able to get downfield and make plays deep. Rice doesn't seem like he's able to do that anymore.

I'm so excited to get Harvin back. Our WR corps seems oddly interchangeable. They all have some different things to bring to the table but Harvin/Tate/Kearse/Baldwin are not dissimilar. Tate runs like a RB, Harvin's the most athletic, Baldwin's probably got the best hands and feet, and Kearse plays well on the deep ball. But they're all sort of built the same, and I could see running the same types of plays for all four guys.

[Sweezo]

What an awesome catch by Tate on the fade in the back of the end zone. You can't make a better play on that ball/

[Danny Darko]

lets see Christine Michael!!

[Sweezo]

lets see Christine Michael!!

There he is! And he looks infinitely better than Turbin.
