    was it just me or did it seem when they subbed along the dline they subbed all 3 positions at the same time rather often yesterday. there wasnt any rotation of kris jenkins it seemed to be more of rotation of the entire dline.

    and they hurt us badly when the backups were in there. i just dont understand that theory, the backups on the dline here are NOWHERE NEAR as good as the first team talent, if you are going to throw pouha out there at least leave the big des in the game.

    what is sad is that 4 of the 5 offensive lineman of seattle were backups in the beginning of the year, I remember seeing the total games started by all 5, the most was 45 by one of the guards, another had 0, and the other 3 had between 1 and 10. There were times that Jenkins had a 1 on 1 and got man handled, we had no pass rush whatsoever, no sacks, one hit on Wallace.

    absolutely, it is a shame. and i completely agree.

    i just dont understand why you would wholesale sub the dline, i also wanted to make sure i was right and it wasnt just a matter of i noticed it the couple times we did it. i just cant get my head around that kind of substitution pattern.
