... next snap with a failed SeaCat attempt. It's part of the low-probability, high-reward attack that Greg Knapp has brought to Seattle. It's a system that is not run through the quarterback, like the simple offense Peyton Manning has thrived in, that is not run through the rush game, like the proposed Seneca Wallace offense, but that is run through Knapp himself. With second and...

... the conservative way the Seahawks offense is trying to attack Minnesota's front. Uhhh, memo to Greg Knapp: I don't think the screen passes are going to work today.Minnesota finally puts together a touchdown march in the second quarter, but only after Brandon Mebane jumped offside on a third-down incompletion and kept drive alive. That one hurt.Let us know what you think ...

... it’s the same type of challenge on the other side of the ball for offensive coordinator Greg Knapp.The Vikings are 8-1, with their only loss coming against the defending Super Bowl champion Steelers in Pittsburgh. The Seahawks are 3-6, and have not won a road game since last December – against the woeful Rams in St. Louis.The Vikings have 11 players among the Top 10 at their positions...

by Matt York - AP Greg Knapp achieved offense with surprise. View full size photo » This was an heroic effort and exciting football. Arizona is pretty good this year. Standing at 6-3, the Cardinals should surpass ten wins. Seattle tore out to an early lead, but the defense crumbled against a sustained Arizona attack. Seattle was beat because it was the inferior football team. The...

As the Seahawks hit the halfway point in their first season in Greg Knapp's new system, the offense is on pace for the worst rushing totals in franchise history.

... look at winning plays, I illustrate a play I've never seen Seattle run. It's a little radical, but Greg Knapp seems willing to mix it up. This is a screen pass to the receiver. There's no read or progression, only execution. It is a passing play with the heart of a run, and like a run can help Seattle draw in cover and open things down field. This is not a very popular play in the...

... incomplete to Owen Schmitt . The screen is a powerful weapon and I've done nothing but rave about Greg Knapp's implementation of a varied and effective screen attack. Hasselbeck did not complete 17 passes to his backs because of an effective screen game, but an ineffective Lions pass rush. The passes Hasselbeck threw to his backs were not designed but outlet passes. Most were slow...

... after Wednesday’s practice what went into selecting Jones for the honor, offensive coordinator Greg Knapp said, “It was the whole game. Julius did a great job in protection. Obviously the big catch on the screen, and getting us down the field there, was a big-time booster for us.”The screen pass Knapp mentioned turned into a 49-yard gain and setup an field goal that cut the...

... attack the line and drop into deep cover is a typical response to an early lead. So Hasselbeck and Greg Knapp attacked them where they were exposed: between the linebackers and safeties. He threw to T.J. Houshmandzadeh and Kevin Hobbs put a hat on the ball and forced a fumble. Max Unger was running towards the play and recovered. Unger was beat on his pass block and thus in excellent...

... prime just as the Lions are finishing their rebuild. Wallace, for all his flaws, is learning the Greg Knapp system, has game experience in the Knapp system, is developed or as developed as he'll be (and a good bit better than Stafford or Mark Sanchez ) and has a certain floor. Wallace has a certain expected minimum performance. Why Seneca? Because like it or lump it, Seneca...

... Seattle re-signs Damion McIntosh . Ray Willis is cheap enough to stick at depth, but does not fit Greg Knapp's system. Sean Locklear will likely stick. Max Unger is a Seahawks. The rest of Seattle's linemen better pick it up in the final eight. Some, like Mansfield Wrotto, may not make it through the season. It is possible that Tim Ruskell has been shy about drafting talent on offense...

... keeps the beat and the money lines punctuate the point. He said: Count off the beat and be ready. Greg Knapp may not know hip-hop, but he gets the good and the filler. Chris Spencer was blown back and dropped by Jay Ratliff and Ratliff virtually stood atop Spencer when he tackled Julius Jones for a loss of one. It was a worrying start for Seattle's offense compounded by miserable...
