What bag of tricks does Mularkey pull out of his hat this week?

Watching him when he was with the Steelers years ago, he had alot of “gimmick” plays. If has any plans at all, I think this is the week he’ll pull em out. Of course the meat of his gameplan of course is to pound the rock and setting up the playaction to win the t.o.p. battle and keep the panties offense off the field. But I wouldn’t mind seeing a new wrinkle in the offense this week b/c of the importance of this game.

Why isn’t Grady dead?

Seriously. He defies science and nature. On top of morbid obesity. He plays a very demanding sport. And moreso, He was taking diuretics on top of that.

The guy is an animal.

question about teams stacking the box against us to stop the run

when teams do this, wouldnt a natural counter to this be have Norwood go in motiion and have a 5 WR set, or leave Turner in the backfield and goto a 4 WR set?
that would leave every WR in a man to man, and if Ryan sees the DB’s and safeties drop back, he can audible a run

I keep hearing all this talk about teams stacking the box, but I havent seen us adjust yet?
is this a crazy idea??

Seahawks’ Kerney done for the season

RENTON — It was almost a year ago that Patrick Kerney unleashed a relentless rampage that didn’t end until he had a NFC-leading 14½ sacks and had finished second in the voting for NFL defensive player of the year.

There will be no such surge for the Pro Bowl defensive tackle this season.

Kerney was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, when it was decided it’s better to get him fully healed for next season rather than trying to rush him back into the lineup in this 2-8 season.

Kerney said another MRI exam Tuesday revealed the shoulder is not healing properly.

“You can get angry about it, you can get sad about it, but it’s not going to heal your shoulder any faster,” Kerney said. “You take it for what it’s worth. Now my job is to get better and get stronger for next season.”

Kerney had a “clean-out” procedure on his surgically repaired left shoulder two weeks ago and missed the past three games.

But he still leads the Seahawks with five sacks.

The new question: Who supplies the pass rush now?

Darryl Tapp and rookie Lawrence Jackson remain the starters at defensive end for Sunday’s game against the Washington Redskins at Qwest Field, but they have combined for four sacks in 10 games.

Defensive tackle Brandon Mebane and pass-rushing linebacker Julian Peterson have four sacks each this season, but the team has generated only five in the past three games.

Rookie defensive end Brandon Miller was claimed off waivers Wednesday to fill Kerney’s roster spot. But he spent the first 10 weeks of the season on the Atlanta Falcons practice squad and then did not play Sunday after being signed to the Falcons’ 53-man roster last week.

The inability to pressure opposing quarterbacks has tormented the Seahawks, who rank 31st in pass defense. It also has forced them to blitz more, which has left the defensive backs vulnerable to big pass plays.

Told that the Seahawks are tied for ninth in the league with 24 sacks, coach Mike Holmgren was surprised — especially since seven of the teams that have more sacks also have a winning record.

“To be in the top third in sacks, that’s great,” he said. “Maybe we should be No. 1 in sacks. If you studied the film … then maybe there were 10 or 12 sacks that we should’ve had that would’ve put us up there. And maybe they’ve cost us four games.

“You know what I mean?”

Translation: The Seahawks are not completing the task with the four-man rush or when they blitz.

It’s a situation with no end in sight now that Kerney’s season has ended.

Last year, he collected three sacks in a Week 11 win over the Chicago Bears at Qwest Field. In the next six games, he added seven more sacks.

Kerney re-injured his shoulder — the same one that needed surgery in January to repair a torn labrum — at the end of the Week 8 game this season in San Francisco when he reached out to grab 49ers quarterback Shaun Hill. He also had a 50-yard fumble return in that game.

Kerney offered an analogy involving the Whack-a-Mole arcade game that sums up not only his season, but that of the entire team.

“Every time you pop your head up, you get it beat back down,” he said.

Falcons made a Foolish mistake cutting Brandon Miller! Unbelievable!

Falcons really screwd up big time. As bad as we need some one with so much potential at DE. Brandon Miller is going to be a dominating DE for Mora in Seattle and the sad part is coach smith and TD know it but they didnt think anyone was watching the freak Brandon Miller. Well we have JA98. OMG

Miller, a former University of Georgia player, took former Falcon Patrick Kerney’s spot on the roster. Kerney was placed on injured reserve with a shoulder injury.
