1/2 TIME
This Sports and B's Seahawks preseason halftime tidbit report is fake sponsored by your local Pepsi-Cola bottler.
Some notes here on the Seahawks' first half of their first preseason game, currently showing on ESPN...
-- The mere voice of Pat Summerall has kind of a calming effect. Through no fault of his, he didn't seem used to having two other guys in the booth schmoozing every once in a while. It's preseason for the broadcasters, too. Also, Pat's just warming the seat for whenever Mike Patrick comes back.
-- The second possessions for both Matt Hasselbeck and Seneca Wallace were very solid. Most elements in the offense made decent contributions, though I don't remember hearing Koren Robinson's name called. However, Darrell Jackson, Bobby Engram (a third-down catch), Mo Morris, and even Jerramy Stevens and Heath Evans got in on the act. Shaun Alexander...he runs laterally a lot. He got stuffed a few times.
-- The defense still needs work. The one play that sticks out the most in my mind was a play where the entire front seven cheated to their left, and Ahman Green ran the other way and had a big gain. I think Ken Lucas tackled him on the play.
-- It's plays like the last one and plays where no one's within five yards of the receivers that the Seahawks have to massively cut down on this year. Those and drops.
-- Marcus Tubbs had a nice play where he forced his blocker into Brett Favre.
-- Back to the offense, I forgot who caught the ball on the play I'm thinking of, but Matt Hasselbeck had all day to throw. That's a good sign for an offensive line without Steve Hutchinson and Walter Jones.
-- Seneca Wallace had a decent amount of good throws. A couple of his attempted passes were sort of suspect, and the one interception was called back.
-- Regardless of Seneca Wallace's first-half mistakes, I think Brock Huard is sooooooo going to get cut.
-- Big kudos to Floyd "Pork Chop" Womack for not letting anyone blow past him and knocking out Hasselbeck for half the season. For anyone who doesn't know, co-blogger Jeremy was working at the preseason game a couple years ago when Trent Dilfer was knocked out. Not a good day for Seattle sports.
-- The numbers on the back of Kerry Carter's jersey are sewn pretty far apart. I notice these kinds of things. I need help.
-- I really want to see a connection of Seneca Wallace to Taco Wallace. I still don't think he's revealed to the media why it's Taco.
Allrighty, I guess it's time to gear up for the second half. It's also time to eat.
