First win of the season and it was a very close game. It was a
game that could of went either way. The stats don't show how
close it really was. Even though the Seahawks had a ton of yards
it was still a very close game. But it didn't really help that
Hasselbeck was throwing picks all over the place. Hasselbeck had
himself a good stat day with 312 yards on 24-46. With just 1
touchdown to go with his 3 interecptions. Lucky he has Shaun
Alexander on his team Alexander was able to rush for over 100
yards today. He carried the ball 10 times for 169 yards and 1
touchdown. He also had 4 receptions for 26 yards. It was a good
day for the receivers as well. Hasselbeck might of had a badish
day everyone else was able to play well. Not only did Alexander
have a good game Jackson had a great as well. He was able to
grab 6 passes for 112 yards. No one on the Niners d could keep
him from the ball. Robinson was also having a good game. He
tried to out do Jackson with 8 receptions for 89 yards. Out of
all the passes thrown to Robinson he only missed 2 passes. And
both of them were on the QB not him. One was picked off and the
other went over his head. Someone who really didn't show up was
Engram who only had 2 catches for 19 yards. Nothing really
special but he did get a touchdown on the day. So in a way he
did contribute to the team in some way. 4th string receiver
Bannister was able to get some playing time and he showed up a
bit. Trying to make a name for himself. He had 4 receptions for
66 yards. Not too bad for a guy who doesn't see much action. The
offense did what they could but with the stats they put up you
would image they would score more than 30 points. They will have
to go into the bye week and figure out what's going on, it was
nice to get themselves a win but if they want to keep that going
they need to figure it out and get their heads straight. On the
other side of the ball. The defense did everything they could to
not lose the game. They had to fight and hold the Niners aa much
as they could. Due to the offense turning the ball over so much.
They had to really have their A game today. They were able to
hold the Niners to only 263 yards total. Hasselbeck was able to
pass for more yards than what the Niners put up total. 197 yards
passing and 66 yards rushing. It looks like the d has their
rhythm and if the offense can hold the ball and not make many or
any mistakes they might be able to turn around the season and
have a bounce back. Simmons and Trufant we're able to lead the
pack with 5 and 4 tackles. Trufant only in his 2nd year has
shown some real promise and he might be heading to being the
Seahawks too defensive guy. He keeps this up he just might be a
shut down corner. Or at least we are hoping he turns out to be
that. Even though the defense was able to almost shut down the
Niners they weren't able to really rush the QB. This should of
been a game where the d ran all over the young kid, but they
barely we're able to rush him. He had a lot of time back their
to find his guys and get it to them. Of they can get to the QB
better they might have a chance to have a good defense this
year. But they need to rush the QB better. The rest of the
defense is doing what they need to do but that front line needs
to hurry the QB and beat up on the o-line. But they will have a
week to rest and figure out so let's not worry to much yet.
