2008 Season Retrospective: Patrick Kerney  Overview: Patrick
Kerney played in seven games before a torn labrum in his left
shoulder ended his season. It was the second labrum tear in his
left shoulder in less than a year. He's also had surgery on his
wrist and surgery to remove bone chips from his elbow. He had
five sacks in his seven games.  What went right: Seattle's
defensive line declined, especially at rushing the passer, and
despite a less capable Rocky Bernard and playing across the line
from the ineffectual Lawrence Jackson, Kerney set a pace for
double digit sacks. He showed pretty good speed around the edge
and kept himself in plays by moving his feet and working his
hands. His essential pass rush repertoire was intact: The first
step, the push to separate, the equally capable inside and
outside burst, and the inside rip.  What went wrong: He still
wasn't as good as he was in 2007. He had more sacks through
seven, but he was less disruptive. He was severely injured and
lost most of his age 31 season
