[CBFF] Game Comments: Seattle Seahawks 11/18/07

[Jason Cetina]

I don't think the line problems are so hard to fix. The Browns and 
Vikings are a good example of what you can do in a short time. And by 
the way, yesterdays Vikings game proves that AP's successes are largely 
related to his line. Chester Taylor for 164 yards? Please.
