2008 Holmgren’s Last Dance

the Run for the Big Show

Not since 2005 has there been this much excitement in Seattle. The legendary Coach Mike Holmgren announced that this year would not only be his last year of coaching, but it was going to be a no punches pulled, full out give it everything possible push for the Super Bowl.

"This will be my last year. We are going to make it the best year ever. "

Mike Holmgren the “gambler”, (If I were you I’d put good money on him) is going to throw caution to the wind and line up his coaches and players alike with a single mindedness. One goal and one purpose, win the Super Bowl. The playbook for offense as well as defense will be wide open and totally jazzed up, the Seahawks will be flat out “unpredictable”. Every opponent every week will face a different and special game plan.

The new mix of players brought in by the Seattle front office added new and different options. Opposing teams will be at a loss on how to prepare for such an unpredictable team. Team chemistry is at an all time perfect mixture with the last of the malcontents long gone. There are no more Me-Jacks or Pay-Me-Now-Browns the team is united in purpose and spirit.

Seahawk fans are coming out of the woodwork around the nation and Qwest field will remain the loudest stadium in the NFL.

“Qwest Field has established itself as the loudest stadium in the NFL. Its 2.83 false starts per game is the highest average in the National Football League since 2005. One gameday the 12th MAN produces as much as 112 dB, nearly as much noise as a Boeing 747 when the opposing team is on offense, but quiets down to an amazing 87 decibls when the Seahawks' offense takes the field”

New records will be set and even the mighty Patriots will fear Qwest field. The thundering noise of 60,000 plus fans screaming at Qwest field will echo through the sky scrappers of the Emerald City.

Other NFC West division opponents are already running with fear. The Forty Niner’s tried to tamper with league rules to steal Lance Briggs away from the Bears, which in turn cost them a draft pick. The Ram’s were accused of tampering in the Josh Brown free agent deal by Herm Edwards of the Chiefs. All their efforts legal and illegal will be in vain. The Cardinals on the other hand are still partying and have not noticed the 2008 season is about to come crashing down on them.

In Seattle if you mix the legend and the genius with: hard work, great team chemistry, excellent players, outstanding coaches, and then throw in the best and loudest fans in the nation, you have "magic". Mark my words the 2008 Seattle Seahawks will be that magical team that makes history. The Emerald city’s magic is growing brighter by the day and it revolves around that special bird of prey the "Seahawk".
