Postmortem: Seattle v Metcalfdropsemburgh

[auroraave]

SO, we got our first dub under the Darnold Administration and it felt pretty damn good. Always fun to punch Pittsburgh in the mouth, and to see the guy we shipped out, be exactly who we thought he was. Now everyone can take a breath as we know we're not going 0-17 this year - there is hope, there is light at the end of the tunnel - let's just hope it's not a locomotive.

They may be on the right track but that 15 carries for 10 yards by Charbonnet has to be, as someone else here put it, one of the worst RB games in modern NFL history. Imagine if Walker had been out today - there would have been no run game and the Steeler D could have tee'ed off on Darnold.

Imagine if the Seahawks had hired Monte Kohler as their head coach. They could be running a wing T and doing geometry in the meeting rooms. Good governor, can you not enjoy a win without bitching about something?

So, Walker goes off for over a hundred and has the back breaking TD run in the 4th - and your concerned because Charbonnet didn't also? C'mon dude.

Am i the only one who noticed but it seemed like they only ever ran left today, never right, until one time in the late 4th quarter. I know they like Cross and Zabel, and dont like running at TJ Watt, but you gotta mix it up a bit!

Why run at the strength of the defense? That gives them the advantage, theoretically. Seems like the run game was clicking on the left side - why mess with success? While your philosophy isn't wrong, seems to me Kubiak called a good game in that they stayed away from Pitt's strength - isn't that smart play calling? Also, the left side may be seattle's strength with Zabel there. Also, we can make a joke here that there were many right side runs, but Walker just danced and bounced 'em back to the left.

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world

one of the best prop bets of the day, hope you didn't bet your house

According to Tyler Sullivan at CBS Sports, Charbonnet's prop bet for over 42.5 rushing yards against the Pittsburgh Steelers is one of this week's best bets.

"In his career, Charbonnet has exceeded this current rushing yards prop in nine of the 10 games he's logged double-digit carries, including last week against the Niners. On top of the added opportunity, the Steelers are coming off a Week 1 performance where they allowed 134 rushing yards to backs, which was the third-highest in the league."

if you change the dynamics of the game, that is make K9 injured who knows how that affects the rest of the game, I can't see how you can assume everything else stays the same. Charbonnet is a solid back, for some reason he didn't produce but take K9 out of the game and then maybe he does, who knows.

seems to me you might do it but first you would get them leaning in the wrong direction by the plays that you have already been running. I don't know a thing about play calling, but i was curious before about the K9 run, if they had set that up. I like the all 22 stuff when they explain that sort of thing sometimes. You could attack the right side of the line if they thought the play was designed to go the left because that was what you had been doing all afternoon, there would be a progression to it

The rare double Pancake!!!

wow, Outzs, I had questioned that pick...playing the seahawks, this is gonna hurt

and the steelers are supposed to be a good defense, both by general reputation and the fact its the most expensive.

Byron Murphy watch

.

It’s here everyone, we finally made it! Byron Murphy has arrived and is finally making a mark in the pass rush. No more nose tackle snaps, right? He’ll probably still contribute on that level, but to see him hunting QB’s is a beautify thing. Murph was Seattle’s third leading tackler (5) on the day, put in 1.5 sacks, a TFL and provided at least one other pressure just for the heck of it

Yes definitely a break out game for him. A little late for a 1st rounder but better late than never as they say.

they changed his role, he was okay before, he just didn't have the same opportunities

Murphy made ESPNs all rookie team last season

"Many lists would have Fiske over Murphy for general impact, as Fiske is a splashy player who had seven TFLs and six sacks. But I saw teams go after Fiske in the running game with plenty of success. Murphy battled hamstring and back injuries this season, but when he was healthy, he was tearing up opposing offensive lines. Compare their respective win rates, too. Fiske posted a 9.5% in pass rush and 35.2% against the run; 8.1% pass and 32.4% run for Murphy. The difference between them isn't nearly what the box score stats would imply," .

Not to mention when you move left of center you always run into a bunch of weaklings. lol
