Next up: Seattle

A sad sad showing this past weekend by our offense was nullified by a spectacular showing by our defense. Washington won the game, and we move on to play Seattle this Saturday. A few thoughts on the game and our prospects.....

1 - Gregg Williams is worth every penny of that $8 million contract. He called a spectacular game for our defense, and the defense delivered. The line got penetration, the coverage in the secondary was great, and we minimized penalities.

2 - The offense could not get anything going. The Bucs had a spectacular defensive gameplan to shut us down, and they did just that. Brunell needs to get out of the pocket more, Portis needs to get healthy so we can run the ball more, and Santana needs to get open downfield. We have to stay out of third down and long situations against Seattle.

3 - Sean Taylor is a hard hitting, competitive, and great football player. But gimme a break. His actions (if true) are inexcusable, and I think he should have gotten fined more than he did. Thank god for us he can play this Saturday.

4 - Watch out for our offense to get innovative with the screen pass and the inside run with Betts this Saturday. Look for the big play at the start of the game from both teams.

5 - The key matchup will be Seattle's offense against our defense. Their offense is fantastic, so is our defense. Whichever triumphs will lead the team to the next round.
