A year ago at this time, the Seahawks defensive tackle could only stand and watch, sidelined by the first serious injury of his career.
RENTON — It was a play, Brandon Mebane said with a laugh, that simply showed off his newly sculpted midsection.
“But you probably can’t see that like you can on the (defensive) ends,’’ Mebane said.
Coach Pete Carroll, though, thought it spoke more loudly to a lot of other things about the surging Seahawks.
Mebane and fellow defensive tackle Ahtyba Rubin chased down Cleveland Browns running back Duke Johnson 22 yards downfield following a screen pass in the second quarter of Sunday’s 30-13 victory at CenturyLink Field.
