Midnight Cowboy!

Given the current hour in the Eastern Time Zone, I arrived at the title of this week's Moonlight Graham Award, which should make it no surprise that it is going to Jerheme Urban this week.

He was he the leading receiver for most of the game, but he really won the award on his first catch, a beautiful rainbow pass from Matt that he made a great adjustment to and caught before stepping out of bounds.

Granted, it was a run oreinted game, and Matt finished with less than 150 yards total passing, and our Urban Cowboy finished with only two catches for 37 yards, but the way this guy kept focused, and battled back onto the team, is enough to bestow this award on him every week.

He's also a GREAT downfield blocker, and given the way our RBs were burning up the yardage, I won't be surprised to see him throwing key blocks on a lot of those running plays.

Honorable mention goes to Leonard Weaver who threw a MONSTER straight-arm on a late 4th quarter run, and to Jordan Babineaux, who finished second in tackles and seem to be involved in every play of the game on defense.

The entire Seahawks Team was also considered for the award this week, because the way that the ESPN announcers were fawning over our greatness by the end of the game, it seems that we may have finally stepped out of obscurity as a franchise this evening!

But no, this week's award belongs solely to Jeheme Urban, who danced his way back into the hearts of the Seattle faithful, and hopefully solidified his position on this team.
