That turned out quite well. The defensive line was quite active forcing poor throws as well as getting several sacks. The new secondary didn't give up but one significant deep play, and led to at least one coverage sack.
Shaun Alexander was strong, agile and actually a decent receiver today, a new wrinkle which can help his longevity. The other positive impression was Nate Burleson as a he performed well on both special teams and as a wide reciever. Having him with a successful season will mean the loss of Jackson is insignificant.

A few weeks ago I launched my own blog about Seattle Sounders FC and Life in Puget Sound. I won't be by these parts often as my focus has changed. Sorry about the unannounced retirement.
