Car V Sea 2012 Review


Jackofalltrades

Recommended Posts

I just went back and re-watched the game from last season. While there were changes made to both rosters, thus limiting what was to be gained, I feel better about Sunday.

Here's why:

1. Addition by subtraction- Lynch had several nice runs right up the gut. Why were they successful? Fua. I saw three gashing runs thru the A gap with OL leading way because a single OL just moved Fua out of the way.

2. Luke played a good game overall, but you could see he was adjusting to the move inside. Despite a sack, then a Int on a tip drill he gave up one of the longest pass plays of the game when he was late covering the TE on a seem route. We all got to watch Luke grow, he won't be making those types of mistakes.

3. Cam was off all game. Hawk fans would have you believe it was their D that caused the errant passes, but that's just not the case on the majority of his misses. He was just off. He targeted Smith 13 times for only 4 catches. Most were over throws that just nearly missed the mark, but there was a screen late where Smith would have had room to run if Cam wouldn't have fired it with way too much velocity. There was some pressure, but not to the extent that he couldn't have put some touch on the pass.

4. Amini struggled. They used multiple line stunts to confuse the rookie and it worked. Gross was left having to choose between 2 rushers on more than one occasion. He's improved- but may not even play.

5. Seattle's DL had some beef last year we had trouble moving, I think we'll be better with the loss of Piggy.

6. Browner was routinely beat by Smith, Cam just didn't throw the ball or it was off the mark. You could see Steve's quickness gave him trouble.

Wilson played pretty well, but he didn't beat the Panthers; the Panthers did. It was ugly and it was their own doing. Now Seattle has a lot of confidence and that can do wonders, but if we make minimal improvements, based on last years game, this is a very winnable game.

Love what you said and how you said it.

My no.1 concern is Cam's accuracy. If he's on we win outright.

Fortunately there is another way to slide in the W and that's if our D plays to their potential.

They have the ability to take over a game. But I still hope Cam is on and  shows progress in his game. Footwork!

I remember one play in particular where Smith had the CB completely beaten - moreso than Moose burning Tyrone Poole in the Super Bowl.

Cam never looked. My whole section was groaning in agony with Steve Smith all by himself on a 30 yard island while Cam was staring down either Murphy or LaFell on the other side.

I agree Cam simply had a rotten day that was not caused by Seattle's defense.
