The media, in all its wisdom, is piling on the Al-Harris-Interception-Angle, and for good reason. It was a monstrous play for the Packers. Four years ago.
But both teams have changed, as Harris noted often in his press conference this week, and one need look no further than to the receiver Hasselbeck was throwing to on his ill-fatted third down attempt. None other than perennial Pro-Bowler… Alex Bannister. You will notice how Mr. Bannister is conspicuous by his absence on the Seahawks depth chart.
Now, Bannister ran a horrible route and left his quarterback out to dry. But would his cutting-off of the route mattered? Probably not. No one can say for sure. But one thing you can count on - the receivers Hasselbeck will be throwing to at Lambeau on Saturday are worlds better than Bannister.
