Well, my Seahawks are on a bye week and I'm bored........
In this video, focus on the car moving along the road. The optical illusion will then appear slowly as your vision adjust's.
There are only white circles at the intersections
Rotating Wheels
The circles appear to rotate when you move your head closer and further away from the screen while looking at the dot in the center. Our peripheral vision interprets the relative increase or decrease of the image in the retina as rotational motion of the slanted lines.
Afterimage
An afterimage is a visual impression that remains in the retina after the initial stimulus is removed. The afterimage always has colors that are complementary to those of the original image. Look steadily at the cross in the center of the picture to see an afterimage.
Can you read this?
I'm not sure how this last one works? But supposedly if you stare at this long enough, you should see ocean waves. Let me know if you see them.
With that said, the Seahawk receiving core is now the youngest and most inexperienced in the NFL......for now. Decimated by injuries, the Seahawks are hurting all over the offensive side of the team. As of right now, Matt Hasselbeck and Walter Jones are the only active starters from last season. And both of them are battling injuries as well.
Maurice Morris RB- Out at least two weeks
Sean Locklear Tkle- Probable for the 49ers game
Deion Branch WR- Out at least one more week
Bobby Engram WR- Out at least three more weeks
Ben Obomanu WR- Out for the season
Nate Burleson WR- Out for the season
Now I know with this many injuries, it's going to be hard for the Seahawks put solid games together. I'm sure most NFL fan's and experts are writing us off. But I'm an optimist(of course) and I think this team still has what it takes to put together another playoff run.
If the Seahawks can over come their dismall special teams performance, play a little more smash mouth and stay positive, the NFC West is still our's!
The Seahawks are not a team to just lay down and call it a season after one poor game. 49er fan's seem to think there's some kind of "Gold Rush" going to happen this year. The Seahawks will be wearing that 49er Gold this season if there is any gold that they might find.
a member of a band of irregular soldiers that uses guerrilla warfare, harassing the enemy by surprise raids, sabotaging communication and supply lines, etc.
Now you can say the Seahawks 12th Man is a band of irregular soldiers. The Seahawks 12th Man is notorious for harrassing visiting teams to Qwest Field. Creating such problems as disrupting communication between the visiting teams offensive players.
bandwagoner
In sports, someone who shamelessly cheers for a particular team not because he likes them or follows them faithfully, but only because that particular team is the "popular" choice or has been or is the top team in their specific sport recently. When that team which bandwagoners follow falls from grace, they gleefully jump on the next teams bandwagon and cheer for that team.
Many of us Seahawk fan's here are labeled as "Bandwagoner's" despite the constant barrage of Super Bowl history lessons or lack there of. And then the discrediting of our Division Titles as nothing to be proud of by the same history professors. We Seahawk fan's are reminded of our unpopularity by the national media and other fan bases. Thus making the Seahawks, NOT a popular bandwagon choice by definition. Therefore, being a Seahawks fan contradicts the definition of "bandwagoner".
Guerrilla warfare resembles rebellion, yet it is a different concept. In the Seahawks and their 12th Man's case, a rebellion against the tyranny of the national media and other teams history. Guerrilla organization ranges from small, local rebel groups of a few thousand guerrillas, to millions of fighters, deploying from cells to regiments. The Seahawks fan base is relatively small, but none the less, very much noticed.
Being a fan of the Seahawks is humbling and gratifying at the same time. We Seahawk fans understand defeat and raise our 12th Man flag no matter what. Gratifying is the feeling we have knowing we follow a team faithfully that is not the popular choice, but a team that strives to be a Champion.
After a dismall rushing season in 2007 for the Seahawks, the 12th Man and the Seahawks own defense was left wondering what is going to be done in the offseason to remedy this? Something had to be done to curb our lack luster 3rd down conversion rating and help keep our defense on the bench to rest.
Enter Tim Ruskell's answers for 2008.
First was the signing of 2-time Pro-Bowler LG Mike Wahle. Mike was acquired from Carolina quickly after he was released by the Panthers for cap space. Wahle was just the beginning of our puzzle.
Now we needed that guy who would pound the ball that one yard we needed soooooo many times. Hello, TJ Duckett! TJ has always been used in conditional situations. He has been sidelined watching Dunn and Vick compete for the team rushing title. Atlanta dubbed these three D.V.D., but it turned out to be more of a V.D., if you know what I mean? The Redskins used TJ for a cheerleader as Portis came up short many of times. And well Detroit was just a road bump on his way here to Seattle where he is expected to get the ball on 3rd and 1.
Now the draft. Tight End has been a very elusive position for the Seahawks. John Carlson demonstrated great rush blocking and pass protection at Notre Dame. While doing so, he proved great offensive skills running his pass routes and actually catching the ball. He also played basketball his freshman year at Notre Dame helping his versitility. But the key thing about him is his blocking abilitity.
With the loss of Mack Strong, everyone hoped Leonard Weaver would step in and pick up where Mack left off. It's kind of like a Mariners fan comparing Jose Vidro to Edgar Martinez at DH. You just can't make it happen. Mack is HARD to replace, but with our 5th round pick we grabbed the pyscho FB Owen Schmitt. This guy takes pride in leading the way for his RB's so much that he takes opponents face masks for trophys. Owen owns face masks of 11 players that have dared to step in front of him.
These were just four of the pieces I wanted to talk briefly about in Tim Ruskell's skeme of things. There is no question in my opinion Ruskell is doing what he can to get us that Vince Lombardi Trophy. Tim has made many interesting moves this offseason and has given the coaching staff many new options.
Maybe Weaver and Carlson in a Double TE roll. Bring the FB David Kirtman into the game plan for those times we might do a Double TE. Kirtman was only the FB at USC that led the way for Bush and White. Then Schmitt could back-up Kirtman for the time being.
So many choices, I know J. Jones is foaming at the mouth from what he is seeing. Jones may have just set himself up for a Priest Holmes type situation, when Holmes came out from under Jamal Lewis' shadow in Baltimore to sunny days in KC. Yes I know Holmes was injured and was never the same there. But Priest had a couple good years in KC.
Anyways, this might be one of the most physical Seahawks teams assembled in my memory, on both sides of the ball? I like what I see and I don't give predictions. So I am not calling for the trophy yet. Just a little excited to see how this all pan's out.
