Mon-KEYS to the Game

Apparently, Monkey is either on an extended banana-break, or he's at the mall taking in the new King Kong movie (I hear he's really into Monsters!) so I'm "aping" his regular weekly post for the good of the blog.

KEY #1 Don't Eat the Cheese! - this is as big of a trap game as it gets, so the Seahawks cannot afford to overlook the lowly 49ers. I'm sure Coach Holmgren has been reminding them all week that they were within a 2-point conversion of getting tied in SF, so I'm hoping the message comes through.

KEY #2 Remember Richard Pryor - as a tribute to the recently departed comedic genius, the Seahawks need to set Shaun Alexander on fire and let him RUN!!! The only defense that has successfully taken Shaun out of a game is his own, and he's got a lot of ground to cover after only getting 49 yards Monday night. They need to run him early and often, and get him back into a comfortable lead for the league's leading rusher, as well as back on the hunt for 2,000 yards.

KEY #3 Mark the Herd - with our secondary depleted, Dorsey will be sure to test our new cornerbacks, so the Seahawks defense needs to heat up their pokers and when Lloyd comes through the middle, they need to put their BRAND-ON him! On Monday night, the Seahawks unleashed a swarming, hungry and killer defense, and they need to take the same approach with the 49ers.

So that concludes my impression of everyone's favorite primate. Now I have a strange urge to perform unnatural acts with the Bride of Frankenstien!
