Holmgren to Brown: keep your helmet on

I thought this was worth posting:

Seattle Seahawks kicker Josh Brown did almost everything right when he nailed the game-winning, 50-yard field goal in a 13-10 victory over Dallas on Sunday. The one mistake he made came immediately afterward, when Brown removed his helmet and threw it across the field in celebration.
That's the part that led coach Mike Holmgren to give him some light-hearted advice on Monday.

...

"I took it off for a reason. Apparently, it's a crazy thing for a kicker to take his helmet off after a field goal."

Brown's reason was that he once got buried under a pile of teammates after hitting a game-winning field goal at the University of Nebraska.

"I got piled on, and that is not where you want to be in that situation," he said. "So I took my helmet off (Sunday) in hopes that (teammates) would just kind of ease up a little bit. It's fine, let's celebrate the moment, but I didn't want to come out without any bruises or scars."

So did it help Sunday?

"Not really," Brown said. "I still got smacked around quite a bit. I should probably keep it on next time."

kickers... <_<

I assume his Husker game-winning FG he's referring to would be 2000 vs CU.

There's also a video interview on the Seahawks website:

No doubt many by now have heard about Ahman Green's season ending injury. As for Green's free agency status next season, according to KFFL: "It is believed they would have made an attempt at bidding against other teams during free agency in March."

According to the unofficial stats from Monday Night Football, Demorrio Williams led the team with 10 tackles and also had a sack. He also knocked down a fourth down pass on a blitz at the end of the game.

Vanden Bosch had a sack against Arizona, his former team, and is now 2nd in the NFL with 7.5 sacks. one article pointed out that this is 2.5 more than he had in his entire 4-year stint with the Cardinals. but according to NFL.com he had 4 sacks before this year.

Demorrio was a STUD last night. Big sack in the 4th and knocked down the Jets last play. I sure hope Ahman can come back from this injury.

Demorrio is the real deal, people are probably starting to see that...

It's sad that you have to denote the fact that a good football player was actually recruited by Solich. No one does that for the dozens of TO or Devaney players that have been good players in the NFL. Whatever dude, get your licks in now and go hide when Nebraska wins on saturday.
