How do we play Seattle on D?

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.
