How do we play Seattle on D?

Seriously, can we buy a period up in here?

Perhaps a "shift" key might help too.

the D needs to take their game to them. DICTATE. Hauks can win at home but as long as the D keeps the pressure on baldy, I believe the Skins can win and go into Dallas next week.

Unleash the hounds on Hasselbeck! EVERY QB is prone to making mistakes every now and then, and given our track record the last four games, the man-to-man coverage on the ends and steady, strong pressure up the middle have been winning us ballgames. When you introduce the likelihood of a soaking rain, which will be much worse of a slopfest than it was at FedEx against Dal, you'd have to believe the Hawks will be forced to keep it on the ground more than they're comfortable with. Negate quick dumpoffs by Matt H and avoid zone breakdowns in the secondary, and we should have as much fun as we want blitzing and bruising our counterparts.

I think if we're smart, we'll pick up on the wet forecast and chase 'em like bloodhounds.

It is important to always make an offense one dimensional. It won't be so hard to make the seahawks do this. We need to come out early and stuff the run. If we establish that they can't run on us we will then be able to defend the pass. An early lead on offense would be really important to causing this. They are a good passing team. its not like we can stop them from passing. However if they concentrate on the pass, so can we. We can stop them if we know they are passing.

Later in the game it'll be important to tease them and make them want to run. Maybe keep 5 guys in there but leave everyone else in coverage. Dare them to run but it will be important for us to stuff it. Our D-line is up for a really important performance. If they stuff the run like the past few weeks, this game is ours.

I think you said it best, BSB. Our last four games we've made the opponent one dimensional, and I have to believe that's the plan against Alexander and Seattle. The trick will be to make them abandon going to Alexander early and exploit other options.

Folks, Matt Hasselbdck is still a very good NFL quarterback. This guy is very much a rythm oriented passer. If he finds his groove early, he can present some problems for us. On the other side of the ball, the first time Todd Collins get's sacked, Quest will be going nuts!

This will be a tests of tests for our guys. Either way, I damn proud of 'em. Damn proud to say I'm a Redskin fan.

All we gotta do is play with a lot of intensity and heart. The skins have gotta be pumped up for this game. We haven't made any serious noise in the playoffs since I was born for chrissake. It's a golden opportunity here when we have a team we can definitely beat in round one (Seahawks) and a bunch of pansies coming round two. Sorry, but as long as all the fans wear those Jessica Simpson masks Dallas won't have a chance! haha...

But seriously, I think we have a great chance this year, we've just got to do what we've been doing and believe in ourselves! Our D has been phenomenal and I dont think that well have a big problem against the Seahawks. Lets just play ball and roll right through em'.

I'm concerned about how we beat them on O. They have a good core of linebackers, two of which are going to the Pro-Bowl. It's going to be tough to defend that pass rush too. The O-Line, Samuels in particular, will have to step up.

To beat the Hawks we'll have to a) run up the middle, b) run some draw plays, c) run some shovel passes. Once we get the running game going it's going to be easier to throw the ball against their solid secondary.

Julian Peterson is a big time player and is fast, Kerney a solid vet having a pro-bowl season and Tatupu is a run stuffer, Daryl Tapp, etc. We'll have our hands full, the OL needs to to be physical and let us run the ball.
