On a running play on first-and-10 from the Minnesota 33 late in the second quarter Friday, Will Dissly locked on to Viking defensive end Brian Robison and pushed and pushed and pushed again until the two finally disengaged at about the 27.
The block alternately cleared the way for an eight-yard gain for Mike Davis and made even clearer that Dissly is on his way to fulfilling the role the Seahawks envisioned when taking him in the fourth round of the draft last April.
“That’s exactly what we hoped for,’’ Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said this week of Dissly’s run blocking in the Minnesota game.
