Jerrell !!! Dude did well! Hope he gets more reps than Stone & Bradford.
The more control or influence MM has over the team the more confident I am going to be in the Seahawks. I believe in this coach!
Obviously we need more 10am east coast starts
Offense was balanced & efficienct. Defense gave up some yards on the ground in the first half but the Falcons have some talented rushers and we finally got a bunch of takeaways! Jerrell and Jobe both played well, nice to see the next man stepping up again!
Geno and the offense were rolling. Incredible game and poise by Geno
Beautiful D
I love coaches humor π€£. He doesnβt let anything get to him and if there is a joke he roles with it
Ask Salk should u trade dk now bet he ate a lot of crow
Steve Raible is the greatest announcer ever !!
Mike McDonald is the best ππ₯π₯ππΎπ―
Thanks for the show. It's very helpful, and I learned a lot. It also helps me stay focused after a win or loss.
Mike Mac is a beautiful defensive mind.
Falcons are a good team so I mean this huge win for Seattle so excited for them moving forward. Go Hawks!!
I love Mike Mac!!!!
Murphy is a difference maker it turns out
Huge win coach MacDonald! Beating a division leader by 20 in their house is nothing to scoff at. We can beat a lot of teams playing like that.
So Impressed with the Subs and New guys! Great Team Win! Maybe Penix will see more time, lol
Beautiful!! ππ π»
I thought Bradford had his best game playing next to Jerrell. Probably helps if your line mate next to you actually performs at a decent level.
Jerrell played really well in my opinion and should start at least over Forsythe and maybe even over Fant. He was very solid in run blocking. In fact, I think he's a big reason all of the runs were going to his side.
Pass blocking yeah he allowed one sack and several pressures but still way better than Forsythe. I was impressed that except for the sack when he did get beat he recovered and was able to push the defender past Geno and out of his way.
The Hawks are really looking goodβ¦. I honestly believe the worst is over. A lot of this was due to scheduling.
Hope he can get the team to have a tougher mindset overall especially the defense be aggressive and tone setting. And somehow find a way to get turnovers more those are so important
Great not having geno throw 50+ times this week he isnt that type of qb. Last szn with UW grubb by 2nd half of the year took the run/pass ratio close to 50/50% and was alot more balanced. Id like to see him find that balance, i guess if the O line can be successful run blocking. And obviously if we dont go down by 14+ early and cant build run then. I thought the best thing Grubb was gonna bring is how he uses motion. After seeing how andy reid uses motion and other oc's i think once grubb fully adjusts to nfl he can use motion really well
