The stats and the game I watched just didn't show me a whole lot from that guy other than the opening drive. I've always thought he was overrated and today didn't change my mind in any respect.

On the Seahawks drive that ended with a field goal that made it 20-10, Hasselbeck noticed an all-out blitz, and brilliantly audibled for a sweep to Mack Strong for a 32-yard gain. That sealed the deal.
Hasselbeck is no superstar. But he's in the right system with one hell of an offensive line. Sometimes, that's all you need.
You're right about the pressure. Williams rarely blitzed today, I think that was due mainly to a strong running game even without Shaun Alexander. The Skins D was kept off-balance for the most part.
