I'm a Seahawks fan cuz they're the closest. I've been to several of their games. The clink is amazing on game day!
I'm guessing that he thought a "limited mobility" RGIII was a better chance to win than a pocket-passing rookie QB making his 2nd start against the Legion of Boom. But after he came up limping in the first, I wondered why he was still in (up 14-0 a play later). Seems like Cousins could hand off to Morris just fine.
I think he kept RG3 in there as a learning experience. How to lead and win (if possible) when injured. Perhaps this continues to cement him as the undisputed leader of the team.
I'm pretty much an all things Seattle hater, and still F*** the Seahawks... but count me in as a fan of Russell Wilson. In an era/generation of "look at me" people, an era where there seems to be a celebratory dance for just gaining a positive yard... Wilson just gets up and runs back to the huddle after busting 30 yard runs. Is down on a knee when his counterpart on the other team goes down hurt, etc etc. class CLASS character from that man.
oh and him sprinting down the field to block on the Lynch TD. Seems to embody everything there is about a team first player/person
I think the MVP of the Seahawks is Haloti Ngata. If he wouldn't have wracked RGIII's knee in the Ravens/'Skins game, it would have been a much tougher game for Seattle. Perhaps Ngata was thinking as a Duck in making Russell Wilson feel better about U of O's Rose Bowl victory?
I think Ngata was just getting back at Norv Turner the ex-skins coach for being a horrible quarterback at Oregon in the mid-70's.
GO SEAHAWKS!!! Crappy 1st Qtr... but the rest of the game they played great! Redskins organization should be embarrased for that piece of shit field. There are local high school fields better than that!
totally agree. That twisted knee on the 2nd drive changed things. But it made me cringe every time someone said that if he would've come out they would've won. I'm sorry, but Kirk Cousins wasn't scoring a ton of points on that D. He's even more limited in mobility than a hobbled RG3. Maybe he would've been more accurate, but I don't think Shanahan Jr. would've been tossing the ball around any more than he did with RG3.
