The Seahawks trimmed their roster to 75 today, with the one notable 'cut' being long-snapper Tyler Schmitt. That's a disappointment. Schmitt was supposed to make us forget the Seahawks had a long snapper. Now we start the year with a guy we signed just to fill in until Schmitt got healthy.
Behind only the playoff loss to the Packers and the defeat-snatched-from-the-jaws-of-victory loss to Arizona, the loss to New Orleans was difficult to watch. The Saints definitely came ready to play, the momentum for the entire first half was set when Boone Stutz botched a snap to Plackemeier and the Saints got an easy touchdown. I know players are supposed to persevere, not let stuff like that get them down, but momentum is a palpable source of energy in the NFL, and that bad snap completely let the air out of the Hawks, never mind all of Qwest Field.
Maybe it was just me, but it seemed like the Chargers were getting awfully close to the punter last night. That could just be bad blocking (they did give up two blocked punts against Chicago). I sure hope it's not the snapper.
