Seahawk Breakdown: O-line Will Be A Work In Progress This Season

Riley Moore — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 04:53:59 +0000

Leroy Hill is back to his old self again. Who would have thought?

MORON OF THE GAME:

Is Aaron Curry really that dumb? Just because you still play like a rookie doesn’t mean you have to act like one. This guy was supposed to be the “safest” pick in the draft, but here we are three years later, and Curry still looks bad, especially when he’s throwing helmets across the field. I keep trying to find second and third chances for this guy, but I think I just ran out on Saturday.

SURPRISE OF THE GAME:

Welcome back Leroy Hill. He looked like his old self for the first time in two seasons. Remember how tough and effective this guy was in 2005, his rookie season. He single handedly shut down Carolina’s premiere receiver, Steve Smith, in the NCF Championship game and was just as much a part of that season as any other superstar on the team. Hill was doing the same thing this game except that now it was Adrian Peterson. I love watching Hill play football when he loves the game. He is a run stopping machine who plays with a violent streak. He runs at warp 9 and finds great angles of pursuit. When he is committed to football, he is a Pro-Bowl type player. Unfortunately when he’s not committed to football, he’s an injury with narcolepsy and a big salary. Watch out for Hill this season. I think he’s on the comeback trail. He’ll be 28 next month, and only played in a single game last year, so there’s plenty left in the tank. I really want to believe in the motive of Hill as well. Leroy Hill’s motive, experience,and health have never been better going into this season, and I hope to see him become as leader on this defense as the season progresses. *The Heater is still my favorite though. … [visit site to read more]
