Thinking Outside the Bun!

True to his word, Mike Holmgren is working Seneca (not Taco) Wallace into the team in different ways other than quarterback, having him returning punts yesterday in practice.

From the Seattle Times...Holmgren had said he wanted to find more ways to get the athletic Wallace, who enters his third pro season without ever having played in a regular-season game, on the field.

"It's something I would like to do," Wallace said. "I would love to get in the game and mess around. The key to being successful is catching the ball first. It's a chance to run on the field and let your talents take over."


I think this could be great for our special teams and our offense.

Maybe we can return to the "exciting" style of football of the late 1970-s Seahawks, with flea flickers, and WR option passes and stuff.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The following story has nothing to do with Taco Wallace, but instead, it is regarding backup QB Seneca Wallace. All contributors to 12 Seahawks Street are requested not to make posts while they are exhausted, inebriated, and/or taking temporary leave of their senses. The staff at 12 Seahawks Street would like to apologize to the entire Wallace family, including his father Burrito, his mother Enchilada, and his sister who is recuperating from a nasty yeast infection, Nachos with Cheese.

  1. I dunno about the WR option...but it might work if we were to use Seneca as a WR...kind of a 'which way am i going' type of thing...he can throw...and maybe catch...speed...he would be perfect!

    as for the flea flickers...HELL YEAH...with our oline...fake right, hand off to the left...

    and for Taco...I was curious what was going on with him and DJ Hackett...we need some KRs...I dont care if they are the 54th best player on our roster...and can only KR...we still need one...

  2. Awwww, man, I hate to burst your pun bubble, alba, but I think you're getting QB Seneca Wallace mixed up with WR Taco Wallace.

    But the QB HAS been returning punts.

  4. yeh, to add to that...I just read every new article from the 3 major papers...and none mentioned Taco...

    I just assumed they were using both him and Seneca when you brought it up...

  6. Nachos with Cheese? That's definitely outside the bun.
