New Guy's observation on the game.

Hi, guys. New to the site!

Just wanted to give my take on the game. BTW - I was actually at the dome sitting about 5 rows up in the plaza level.

I tend not to overreact to one preseason game. Our starters played only one quarter. The starting defense did okay. It was our offense (Deuce Fumble) that set up the Seahawks TD.

Our starting defense forced 4 punts on 5 possessions. It was the 2nd and 3rd stringers that skewed things and made us look bad.

To my surprise, there was no pass rush from our DEs. Then again, they were playing a basic defense and the QB (Hasselbeck) was getting rid of the ball rather quickly.

On offense Brooks looked fine. Joe dropped a perfectly throw pass and a perfectly thrown 20-yd. strike to Donte Stallworth was called back because of a penalty on Jammal Brown.

BTW -- There were a couple of times when our offensive line allowed someone to come free into our backfield. Brooks did not run into the blitz or anything of that nature. The defender was in Brooks face before he had time to react. I think Brooks did a good job of avoiding the sack.
