As this last drive shows, the Seahawks are going to have to slow down Ryan Grant, who already has something like 80 yards, if they want to win this game. He gets to the linebackers too often and Defensive Tackles need to step up and tackle him more frequently at the line.
On that last long miss by Brett Favre Julian Peterson and Patrick Kerney collapsed the pocket on their side but Favre had room to step up because there was no pressure from the DTs. I think that so much of this game is hinging on the performance of the Seahawk DTs, and they just aren't stepping up. It may be something Seahawks want to address in the offseason or perhaps the draft. Former picks like Marcus Tubbs (now on IR) haven't exactly worked out... but they have to try again because it's clear that it's a big hole in their defense.
