Comments on: Thursday practice: How to contain Cutler http://blog.thenewstribune.com/seahawks/2009/09/24/thursday-practice-how-to-contain-cutler/ Where there is no off season Sun, 12 Feb 2012 21:14:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.1 By: KB http://blog.thenewstribune.com/seahawks/2009/09/24/thursday-practice-how-to-contain-cutler/#comment-3824 KB Fri, 25 Sep 2009 19:17:44 +0000 http://blog.thenewstribune.com/seahawks/?p=639#comment-3824 Nick Reed is playing special teams. He got some playing time in the second half of the Rams game at defensive end when the game was decided. I imagine he'll be in that same role all season barring injuries.

I read in the off season about how the zone blocking scheme is easier to execute than what they had previously run. It just doesn't add up. I'd really like to have that statement expanded upon. What are some of the things the line needs to improve on? Is it personel limitations? When do they feel they should start being consistant?

One can point ot other things, but to me, those are the key issues. Stevo – I couldn’t agree more with that list. One can point ot other things, but to me, those are the key issues.

Mebane returns to play DT. Cole, Bryant, and Hawthorne stick to their assigned gaps in the middle. 2. Offensive line cops an attitude and gets ready for a war in the trenches against a badass D line. 3. Seneca doesn't get happy feet and try to win the game all by himself. He keeps his feet planted and uses his 2nd and 3rd option receivers. 4. 12th Man causes a few false starts and gets in Cutler's head. some keys against Chicago:

I don't know that he has figured it out yet with all the possible combos of the guys they have to work with.

Maybe use Forsett as the every 1st & 2nd down back and Jones for 3rd down rushing and blocking for 3rd down pass plays and Moore for screens whenever called.

Forte's slow start not withstanding, he's a strong, straight ahead runner that must be stopped before he gets to the second level. And without Lofa and Hill, the interior d line will carry the burden. And you're right on, the 12th Man needs to be loud and proud. With Lofa out it’s imperative Mebane play, and at a high level.

With many of the rock-stars on the sideline, the garage-band players will need to be playing near perfect ball. Thank good for the 12th man! That dude can never be injured. Bring it on!
