Wilson On Seattle, Seattle On Wilson

AP Image Wilson on Seattle: Although his off-season signing with Washington brought him home, Redskins cornerback Josh Wilson returns to his ‘home away from home’ in Seattle this weekend. Wilson, a second round draft pick to the Seahawks in 2007, sat down with “The John Thompson Show” on ESPN 980 to discuss his time in Seattle.  The first thing he discussed was the absurd volume of the fabled 12th man at Qwest Field/CenturyLink Field: “It definitely gets you going,” Wilson said.  ”As a defensive player, that’s when we got the bulk of [the noise].  It was almost just as tough as a defensive player to be able to communicate as it was for the offense.  But there’s nothing like making a big play as a defensive player there, because you’re gonna hear a stadium roar.” The same can be said for special occasions on offense.  Last year in the playoffs, when the Seahawks (7-9) hosted the Saints (11-5) at Qwest Field, the Seahawks managed one of the greatest upsets in NFL playoffs history.

Four years later, Redskins safety Sean Taylor remembered

Via Riggo's Rag  |  November 27, 2011
Sean was one of the few that didn't let up, even at the Pro Bowl. Ask Brian Moorman.Last year I wrote a piece on Sean Taylor, his life, his career and interviewed several people for their opinions and where they were when they heard he had lost his life.

Carroll’s frustration with his team’s penalty woes was at a season-high after Sunday’s 23-17 loss to the Redskins.
