My man Curtis Crabtree at KJR compiled some stats regarding the team's pressure situation in the Dallas game -- since that is the game that the players complained about a lack of pressure, and subsequently backed off at the urging of ... somebody.

Re-watching the game film, Curtis determined that when the Seahawks had only a four-man rush, Tony Romo was 11-for-13 for 167 yards and three touchdowns, compiling a perfect 158.3 passer rating.

When they blitzed, Romo was 11-for-21 for 158 yards and one interception, with a 57.2 passer rating.

According to Curtis, when Seattle rushed seven guys, Romo was 0-1. When they brought six, he was 3-6 for 52 yards and an interception. And when they rushed five, Romo was 8-14 for 106 yards.

Not until Dallas' 21st offensive play did Seattle bring more than four men rushing, and when they started bringing a blitz consistently they were down 21-3.

Deon Grant may have backed off his statements immediately after the game, but he wasn't wrong.

Mike Holmgren said he wanted to keep things light and the players to have fun. That mission is accomplished. It was a jovial, spirited practice that ended with a two-minute drill, the first defense against the second offense. The defense started out dominating, knocking down four straight passes, but on the fourth Holmgren called a pass interference call, much to the defense's dismay, and it allowed the offense to go down the field and score. There was not tackling, so it's not a true drill, but it was fun nonetheless.

Sounders star Freddy Ljungberg attended the practice as well, with a coterie of people in tow or fawning over him. He was wearing a sweet jacket with a fur-lined hood, which reminded me of a jacket that Kenny Anderson wore on the team bus one day -- up to the point that he took it off because Gary Payton's heckling was so relentless.

Lost in the shuffle of the back and forth between safety Deon Grant and the Seahawks coaching staff over the defensive pressure situation is the fact the Seahawks will face another big receiver in Randy Moss this week. Even without Tom Brady, Moss is putting up pretty good numbers, as is his counterpart Wes Welker.

Cornerback Marcus Trufant said the team is ready. They should be after facing big, physical receivers in Terrell Owens, Roy Williams from Dallas and Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin of Arizona.

Trufant said Seattle will try to mix it up again this week, showing several different looks against Moss. He talks about that task in this audio clip.
