Seahawks vs Bears recap....

Mike Holmgren is no longer worried about the return game because he has bigger fish to Frye. Seahawks played the Bears at Qwest Field on Saturday August 16th. Both teams had an overall dismal performance. This game was a defensive game for sure, well for the Hawks anyway. The Seattle defense looked great against the Bears. The front seven blitzed Grossman on almost every play. It was obvious the Seahawks had no respect for the offensive line of the Bears. Grossman was sacked once and even made an intentional grounding penalty rather than taking the sack. All in all he had a bad day; ending with a 9-15 with only 74 whopping yards.
Kyle Orton, didn't do too much better. Kyle did lead them into overtime whereas, Rex would have crumbled under the rolling pin that is the Seahawk's Defensive Front Seven.

The Seahawk's offense didn't really show a lot of promise behind the arm of Charlie Frye. Three interceptions and 209 yards; big stink fest by Frye. We had a couple close calls on some really big plays down field but the receivers (I. E. Kent, Taylor) couldn't hall them in. John Carlson made some rookie mistakes (false starts); Holmgren hates false starts enough that players remember the snap count just to avoid his rampage afterward. I guess Johnny didn't get that memo from the other players. Charlie Frye did hook up with Jordan Kent for a couple of catches totaling 50 yards with a long of 23.Logan Payne finally showed me something worth mentioning. Frye hit him four times for 38 yards with a long of 14. Neither receivers had a TD catch. Lastly, Brandon Coutu was the shining star in this OT win. Brandon Coutu hit 5 out of 5 with his longest of 48. Coutu counted for 17 points.

Honorable mentions: LeRoy Hill, who is consistently getting better, had a big night with a sack, a couple of hurries an interception. We need to sing him RIGHT NOW. Josh Wilson with a couple of great coverage plays. Trufant, for showing he is not afraid to take out a big TE. Duckett??? with a TD and 27 HARD yards. He had 12 carries and only 27 yrds people...Cut Him. Last but not least, My boy from Wa St. Michael Bumpus. The guy had two nice catches for 29 yards. Little side note. Forsett is one of this weak's rushing leaders. Look Out, this season should be exciting. End.

Forcast is: Forsett for 53!!!!!

Inside of Madam Jezebel's crystal ball shines the future of Justin Forsett and the Seattle Seahawks. I believe this kid has no shot of being cut from this roster. After what I saw in his second debut showing Holmgren can't let this guy slip to another team with needs in the return game or at running back. Forsett has vision, toughness, speed, acceleration, and hands. I have not seen a back on this team with so much talent since "Curt Warner, who led the AFC in rushing as a rookie in 1983 with 1,449 yards". Now, I am not saying Forsett is going to be setting records or anything in his rookie year, but I am saying this kid has that kind of talent. In Saturday's game he had 136 yards on 16 rushing attempts with one TD. He could be a backup RB or a returner at this point. If he applies his talents to the return game, he could be as good if not better than Devon Hester. At running back he is reminiscent of Maurice Jones Drew; only better. Forsett is strong too; he can bench something like 320+ pounds. For a guy that's 5'8" and 194 that is a lot of weight to be lifting. He has tremendous upper body strength to go along with his speed. I think some jersey's need to be made! I predict a sellout in the first day. I can't wait to see more of this kid. You know what? I just might get my wish. End...
