In case you didn't notice, with his time on the field almost doubling in the last month or so heading into Seattle's divisional playoff game against the Bears, a strong case could be made for Raheem Brock suddenly becoming the league's most potent pass rusher. Brock, who had a combined 3½ sacks in the huge wins over the Rams in the regular-season finale and the Saints in the wild-card round of the playoffs, has made a huge difference since teaming up on the same line with DE Chris Clemons.

"He wants to stay here."
