More Banjo: @ Seahawks NFC Championship ***k Up

[Striker]

From MMQB -

Reserve linebacker Brad Jones was recklessly aggressive coming off the edge on film. He consistently darted hard to the inside in an effort to get the block, and often went to unnecessary lengths to do so. Against Dallas in their divisional game, he lined up on the left side three times and on the right once, and on one attempt he tried to leap over a blocker only to get stonewalled.

So with five minutes left in the third quarter and Seattle still trailing 16-0, Carroll gave Ryan the go-ahead to execute a fake specifically designed for this game. Ryan had two options:
1. Take the snap and roll out to Jones’ side with either Garry Gilliam (left side) or Luke Willson (right) as a receiving option. If the linebacker covers the receiver, Ryan should run. If not, throw it.

2. If Jones isn’t on the field, take a delay of game penalty and then kick the field goal.

Of course they scheme against Jones.

Needed more Starks.

This. Really sad not to see him used a bit more...even a little bit more...a teensy bit more.

Brutal. Huge return possible.

FUCK!

We had 'em. Damnit!

I would like to know why Clay was out when Richard Sherman is out there, clearly hurt, and the safety was ballin' with a separated shoulder. He came back - so it wasn't too bad of an injury.

[George Cumby]

It's the lack of killer instinct that gets me. 55 minute of utter domination and then they quit. The defense had this game won. The offense, again, the offense failed to live up to their billing.

I hope the taste of defeat is bitter and stays in their mouths for the next year.

Eddie Lacy is soft. He needs to watch this game over and over again and see how Lynch shouldered his team and willed them to victory.

I agree. Looks to me like HHCD was in a good position to seal any would-be tacklers to the inside, and he would have had Peppers running interference to the outside.

It appears that the left side of the field was wide open for a solid return and he had good blocking out front.

Morgan Burnett did what he felt was best...just slide to the ground doing his best Aaron Rodgers (100% healthy) impression.

it was certainly a surprize ... different.

Peppers wasn't going to block, he was waving him down. By the time he saw Burnett not slowing down, he would have gone by.

I meant if Peppers hadn't waved him down but had immediately headed downfield to block.

Warren fucking Sapp would have been looking to kill someone. Fuck Peppers and cut his ass as well.

It doesn't appear Peppers made himself available to the press. I'm guessing he knew what the questions would be. Too bad. He raised his game in the playoffs. I hope he's back if they can work out the money situation.

[call_me_ishmael]

Julius will be back. He has made more money than he knows what to do with. He wants a super bowl. Expect him back at a team friendly two year deal. Same with Tramon Williams. While he hasn't made Peppers money, TWill made himself plenty of money. He'll be back too.

TWill looks pretty good to me. He isn't elite anymore but he is still a good starter and a solid leader. I have no problems with him hanging around for a few more years. He's only, what, 32 anyway?

(I could be wrong - but I perceive the guys that leave around 31+ have typically never been paid or aren't wanted back.)

Brad Jones was the key on Seattle's Fake Field Goal

"Jones showed up on the left side, which meant undrafted rookie tackle Garry Gilliam would get the throw if necessary. Gilliam, a converted tight end out of Penn State, hadn’t caught a touchdown since high school. "I broke the huddle like, Please be on my side, please be on my side," Gilliam says. "And then [Jones] was."

Brad Jones is the shitty gift that keeps on giving. You seriously have to question the ability of any team GM that thinks Jones should be on the roster. The Packers deserved to lose, just for having a worthless asshole like Jones on the team.
