Had to take care of a few things (like getting married and a honeymoon), but SSB is back in full effect. A few things since the last entry:
Congrads to Jean Theoret and team for the Seafair victory. I can't believe 80 year old Bill Wurster jumped into Lake Washingon!
The M's? Well, Hernandez looks like a great prospect for now. The rest of the team? I think it's officially time to call Beltre the largest bust in team history...more than Jeffrey Lenord, Mitchell, or anyone else...he's hitting .250 w/ 17 homers. Pressley put up better numbers than that!
Hawks? There are 2 things that this team needs to do immediately in order to not be a 7-9/8-8 team: Get rid of Ray Rhodes and his conservative defenses. He does NOT know how or when to call blitzes, bottom line. He's got the talent this year, but his inability to call a good defensive game will shine through. The other aspect? Holgrem needs to call a few trick plays and open the offense up to the Shotgun. Of course in the 80's when he was w/ the niners, the shotgun wasn't needed because teams didn't blitz as much. Now, on a 3rd and 10+ yards, teams will blitz the hell out of this team since it will take at least a 5 step drop for Hassleback's receivers to get down field. Also, can anyone out there name the last time Seattle ran a trick play? A fake FG? A fake punt? A reverse? The reason New England is so good is that they mix a few of these into the course of the game at the RIGHT time. Mike H. has no idea what time it is anyways.....
Glad to be back and as always....post your thoughts!
