Seahawks O-Line

[sillycon]

I still believe that once we start playing with a lead we will see a different pass rush with teams shifting to a run/pass ratio that favors us better. Much like last year when teams had to play catch up.

That's the key. We need to be able to score points and play with a lead. Otherwise, Seattle will just try to gash us with their rushing attack.

I expected much if the same against the Giants, with our pass rush at full strength and New York's offensive line coming off of an embarrassing performance against Philadelphia. Instead, the Ginats did a much better job than expected, especially in the run game.

I hope for better production this week, but I'm not as confident in it as I was a week ago.

This happens, I feel, most of the time with Dallas.

When we're supposed to dominate on defense, they keep us at bay. Then we have these games were we explode against Brady and get 5 sacks in the first half.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Sacks mean jack if we don't force TOs because they are going to destroy us in the run game.

I disagree. While turnovers is great you can win with no turnovers but you can't turn the ball over as well. If sacks are keeping an offense from moving I gladly take 3 and outs over turnovers.

To state sacks don't mean jack without turnovers is false

Hopefully we get both along with constant pressure. I don't see us playing clean football on offense, very few teams do against the Seahawks D.

I agree. As long as you could finish even on the turnover differential, the better team should win. We've looked like the better team in most games but were behind in the turnover margin. Our problem has been the offense turning it over and the defense not forcing turnovers. That's the worst mix you could ask for. Makes it worse when you have a sloppy QB like Cassell.

Eventually there has to be a game where we actually win the turnover battle, and we desperately need that to happen in at least one of the next three games... Lets hope Byron Jones blows up like MIKE JONES!

I do and he's playing well.

you are full of crap

he got benched. the guy that replaced him(Patrick Lewis) got injured, so he is back in the starting lineup one week after being demoted for poor performance.

You do realize that Max Unger was traded, right? They have Drew Nowak as starting center, who was a practice squad guy last year.

don't expect any honesty from that one. he probably didn't know, but now he will pretend Nowak is a pro bowler

Dlaw, Hardy ,Crawford, Gregory.. this needs to be the line to face them. Gregory has got the speed and I just think Hardy in the middle would be disruptive, it worked against the giants. We need turnovers!!

That is going to be tough because Wilson does not do that a lot, especially through the air. Now forcing fumbles on him is a different story. He's fumbled 30 times in four seasons but has only lost ten.

He was incredibly lucky last year losing none out of eleven. He's got three fumbles this year, losing two.

Not sure if playing contain as we did against them is the right way to go. Detroit bum rushed him mercilessly and it kept their offense off balance. I do not think we are good enough in coverage to just try and contain him. I almost would just rather go after him.

 

[burmafrd]

I think containment is a consideration because he has shown he really does not do that well in the pocket. That is where his lack of height really hurts. Pushing our DTs to rush with their hands up would also bother him as well.

 

[LocimusPrime]

I want a hardy to hit wilson so hard, he fumbles the ball and fails the concussion protocols procedures. But while hes getting sacked Wilson rolls into the back of the centers leg while hes engaged w crawford or hayden. ( and i hope that both wilson and his center recover fully and quickly after the cowboys game)

 

[dfense]

If you don't have a sure tackler spying Wilson on 3rd down, you will probably lose.

 

[spook930]

They have been terrible this year but watch they look good against us lol.

 

[Kevinicus]

Their run blocking hasn't sucked, inconsistent maybe, but it doesn't suck. Rawls had two big games for them in Lynch's absence.

If we play the run like we did against the Giants, who doesn't have anywhere near the type of RBs the Seahawks do, look for them to have a rushing game they had against the Bengals.

Inconsistent would be accurate. It was okay against Stl (but not on 4th and 1). Below average against GB, Det, and Carolina, and good against Chicago, Cincy, and SF.

 

[jaybird]

Oh, I agree. He is right up there with Romo and Rodgers when it comes to improvising. We did a great job containing him last year, and we seem to have more talent on defense this year. I think we'll do well with keeping him in check.

My fear is still Lynch.

We need Crawford to be Crawford and help contain the beast

 

[punchnjudy]

Seattle's offense is similar to Carolina's in that they use their inside running to set up their pass/run plays on the edges. If the tackles and McLain can hold their own inside, then everything gets a lot easier. I'm not too concerned about 3rd and long situations against Seattle--just a matter of getting there.

 

[btcutter]

I want at least 5 sacks on Wilson. Even better, 10 sacks.

With Wilson it's not always about the sack.. It's keeping him in the pocket the whole time.

Seahawks defense isn't what it has been but they are still good. I agree with everything else you said. We need pressure and sacks plus turn overs

Yes great points there. And to think we were still in the game. Maybe I'm blind but for some odd reason I felt had Beasley not fumbled the punt our offense would have drove down the field to force overtime
