He definitely showed the best throwing ability of all the people we had running trick plays. Forsett threw an absolutely beautiful 35 – 40yd bomb to Burleson during training camp on 7 vs. 7 drills.

In Alexander's better years, we were actually running more than passing, but Sean's style was anything but a power style: most of his success came from juking and cut-backs. Not exactly lower-your-head and smash-some-mouths. And on the D side, we were always vulnerable to the run in Holmgren years, even in 2005. Hence the label of being a soft team.

So far I haven't seen any mention of it in any articles or on any boards. Here it is: <i>By the way, as long as we're talking about Forsett, didn't you love that little pump fake he threw during that one run vs. Jacksonville last Sunday? What a move. It made me laugh. He sucked those guys who were closing on him in pursuit right out of their drawers. I wonder if he can even throw a decent pass. </i> I’m going to repost something that I may have posted on a dead thread here because I really want to hear what people thought of Forsett’s pump fake on Sunday.

Right now the team only has 7 healthy (or in Williams case healthy enough) linemen. they usually carry 9 OL on the 53 man roster. So if/when the above 4 all come back then Williams just might be odd man out again. If all our unspoken fears come true and there is one particular name on that list of 4 that is really done for the year (or forever) then Williams would likely stick around.

I think he is a rookie. Turned in a 5.38 40. Does that mean that Williams will stay on the 53 active list? McIntosh and Lewis are bigger guys. Does this mean Seattle wants to get away from the zone blocking smaller guys? The Seahawks just signed a guard, Mark Lewis, 6’4″ 314 to their practice squad. I think he is a rookie.
