Reviewing the tape-Seahawks narrowly pick up another L.


The Seattle Seahawks looked listless and the Miami Dolphins dominated for the first quarter and a half.
Jordan Babineux's quick six pick changed that and the game was on.
In a gritty and determined effort,the ravaged Seahawks brought the game down to one play-a two point conversion attempt to tie the game at 21.
Seneca Wallace's pass was batted down as was the Seahawks 21-19.

Shawn's Thoughts

1) The Babineaux pick was the game changer as Miami appeared to be on their way to a romp.
The interception was only the FOURTH for Seattle all season!
It was caused by Chad Pennington feeling a bit of pressure and making a poor decision.
Amazing what a rush can do!

2) Seneca Wallace spread the ball around and three recievers had five or more catches,but only one pass play went more than 20 yards....

3) Miami scored a TD on a long Ricky Williams run from the "Wildcat" formation.
The Wildcat is basically running backs taking snaps.
Or as Ryan said "It is this amazing new thing called the Single Wing".
Everything in Football is like this-Everything that was old is new again!

4) Josh Wilson continues to impress on kick returns and is developing on the corner as well.
Wilson was improved to the point that Kelly Jennings is rarely seen on non-nickel situations...

5) Matt Hasselbeck will start for Seattle against Arizona on Sunday after a hiatus.
I really want to win this one to establish to the upstart Cardinals that their success is a one year aberration.

Bonus Rounds

John Carlson drops a pass that he should have,but his play just keeps getting better and his has far exceeded my expectations for the season.

Seattle waived Keary Colbert yesterday.
Colbert was obtained during the season from Denver for a 5th round pick next season,but over his seven game,Colbert caught just seven passes and one TD.

Back later or tomorrow with some words on the passing of Herb Score....
