We're going all over the map on this one...

Drives: This season, the opposing team has conducted 116 total drives (possessions). Of those drives, 41% ended with a score -- 26% end in touchdown.

Drives II: Of Kyle Larson's 37 punts (I'm off by one somewhere), the opposing team has scored a touchdown 11 times (30%), kicked a field goal six times, punted back nine times, thrown a pick to our defense six times, fumbled three times, returned the punt for TD and Hasselbeck was sacked for a safety.

Speaking of Kyle: Larson's only kick went 29 yards against the Cardinals. Larson is on pace for just under 60 punts this season -- which would, ironically, come close to his career low 60 in 2005. Instead of finishing drives with touchdowns and field goals, we end in interceptions, fumbles and turnover on downs. Hey, at least we're not always punting the ball.

Speaking of Kyle II: Larson's 42.6 yard-per-punt average is close to his rookie season's average (42.2) -- his career worst. Larson's 34.1 net-average is, by far, the worst of his career.

Carson vs. Opposing QBs: We wrote Monday that Palmer is throwing the ball 40-or-more times per game in more games the past two seasons compared to the two seasons that preceded that. However, if you take his yearly average, 2004-06 has hovered around the same numbers. It's 2007 alone that's showing the aberration to it all. Which coincides with the chart below that breaking down the percent of plays ran and passed.

Just because comparisons interest me, here's the rush attempts per game throughout each season during Palmer's seasons, compared to the team's (not just Palmer) pass attempts. It's really an unconnected thought -- though some might make note that Bob Bratkowski has consistently run the ball in the 44-45% range from '04-06 but falling in 2007. And no, this doesn't take into consideration "garbage time" -- the period of the game where you run out the clock or go pass happy, down by a couple of scores, mounting a come back. They're just raw.

Moving on...

"Henry showing signs of maturity."

If I choose to be a tad bit more patient before applying the "maturity" tag to Henry, forgive me, Big C.

Did you know that referees are also commentators about a player's performance?

With all the blown calls we've seen in the past two years, in college and the NFL, do you think the refs really have any room to call someone else's performance "lousy"? Kettle, black are popping into mind.

Also in the bag.

• DeDe Dorsey's blocked punt for touchdown Sunday was the first since 1989.
• Bring back the shovel: Willie Anderson spoke out about the team's work ethic saying, "We need to get back to old school where you dig a hole with a shovel. That's hard work. That's grimy hard work but the job still gets done. We've got to get back to that mode. The talent is still there, but we're a little too 'Hollywood' right now."
• The Bengals/Steelers game on NBC's Sunday Night football is on as scheduled.
