PENALTIES

Have we EVER had so many penalties (since the Todd Steussie days)???  The Defense were doing the best they could, and I actually commend their performance considering all the injuries, etc., going on.  But the Offense, particularly Icky and Taylor Moton penalties were atrocious. 

Granted, the Seahawk's stadium is one of the hardest stadiums to hear in all the NFL, but for heaven's sake, peak over and look at the ball, use your peripheral vision, consult your spirit guides, use a life-line, do SOMETHING, but PLEASE stop jumping before the ball is snapped.

Penalties are drive killers and game destroyers.

Ickey got flagged for moving on the plane.

Seriously, he is looking for every edge possible in his pass pro. He is slow with no so good feet that he has to find an edge. Run game is a different story but this is the nfl and he has to get better.

Everything you said here is correct... Well, I don't know about the plane thing...

I have been saying this since last year.  Ekwonu has "lazy feet". He tries to lean into OPFOR movement instead of moving his feet and sliding/jumping sideways when necessary. Run blocking is easy for him. He has the power and push. Pass blocking is a problem.
