It seemed like Krabbs and company bought an easy button from Staples and all took turns smashing it pre game. The Seahawks dismantled the Falcons in the home opener at CenturyLink Field 38-10.
"Seattle has welcomed me into their city with open arms," HC Eugene Krabbs said post game. "When you make a play to get them off their feet, there's no feeling in the world better."
It did not take too long to get the 12th man on their feet when rookie cornerback Alexander Vaughn picked off McCoy. It would not be McCoy's last interception of this game.
"The Seattle crowd is something like I've never experienced before," Alex Vaughn told reporters post game. "To have not only one, but two picks in the home opener, moments i'll never forget for the rest of my life. Would have been a touchdown, but that second move cost me that chance."
McCoy struggled to move the ball down field finishing with four interceptions and throwing for less than 100 yards. It seemed like the defense fed off the 12th man's screams and cheers.
"We have the best fans in football," defensive captain Khamari Nance told reporters post game. "The young bucks took control today. Shaq (Kinney) and Avon (Alex Vaughn) were game changers today."
"I just do what I'm told," Kinney says post game. "Gene took a shot on me a few years ago and now it looks like we're starting to put the pieces together. I want to be someone who is here for the conclusion of that."
While the defense made easy work on McCoy, Clapp picked apart the Falcons defense with ease. Throwing for over 300 yards along with five touchdowns through the air and a few interceptions. The most impressive throw came in the second quarter to Luther III. Clapp rolled out of the pocket and hit "L3" on the edge of the end zone forcing a toe tap touchdown for six.
"I saw L3 was going to be open on that corner, but I had to place it perfectly," Clapp said. "I think he turned it into a perfect play more than I did."
"Hell of a play," Luther III told reporters."I saw BClapp rolling out to my side and knew I had my man beat. I can't believe he hit me in that spot."
Artavious "L3" Luther III may have had two touchdowns, but the other Luther brother was the star wide out of the day. Gabe Luther finished the blowout win with eight receptions for 130 yards and two scores.
"BClapp and I have worked at our chemistry," Luther said. "We run through plays constantly. On the plane, on the practice field, and no lie at each other's houses. We've became pretty close in these past two years."
"Gabe has become so reliable," Clapp said. "He has that passion for winning like myself. We've worked a lot together to make sure we don't leave Seattle without a Lombardi Trophy."
The undefeated Seahawks have their toughest challenge yet as they travel to the desert to face off against a division rival, the Arizona Cardinals. Bobby Valentine and his team are coming off their third straight Super Bowl and have three time Super Bowl MVP Dontae McGowen leading the charge. Krabbs has had this day circled for months.
"I do not know what is going to happen on Monday night," Krabbs began to tell reporters. "The only thing I will say now, is that all good things must come to an end. I don't know if it will be us, but we'll see come prime time. See y'all there."
Krabbs walked off the podium confidently. Knowing that he has a top five defense in the league on one side. On the other, a young quarterback determined to get redemption for his rookie year.
