When the Seahawks have the ball

In two games since returning from his first injury-related absence NFL career, Russell Wilson did not look all the same as himself. He completed just 34 of 66 passes (51.5%) for 368 yards (5.6 per attempt), failed to touch the ball, two interceptions and a fearsome passing index of 55.6. He also took seven sacks and rummaged through them twice, though the Seahawks managed to find them both fumbling times.

Luckily for Seattle, the team’s next opponent was a panacea for nearly every passing game for the team. The football team entered Week 12 ranked 31st in the opponent’s passer rating, 29th in EPA allowed per drop, 30th in Football Outsiders DVOA pass defense. The strength of the unit is that the forward quartet can put pressure on the back four with some degree of regularity – but with Chase Young and Montez Sweat both, that would be made much more difficult.

That puts a lot of pressure on the aftermath of Washington, which hasn’t been up to the task this season. The Soccer team ranked last in DVOA for deep passes, according to Football Outsiders, and that’s Wilson’s bread and butter. DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett would be able to find himself running freely down the field, and Wilson would be able to hit them if he had enough time.

The only thing stopping the Seahawks from making that happen is the ability Jonathan Allen and Daron Payne stab the bag up the middle. Due to his size, Wilson is more vulnerable to internal pressure than when it comes from the edges. He couldn’t always see the striker hurling across the midfield as the bag was pushed back into his lap. Instead, he had to run away, buy time, and try to make a harder throw. He’s good at those pitches – usually. But he doesn’t have full strength at the moment.

Knowing Pete Carroll, he’ll want to come up with a playable game plan, even against arguably the NFL’s worst pass defense. But Seattle doesn’t have the offensive talent to dominate the game that way, and Alex Collins neither DeeJay Dallas was the kind of runner who could take over a game the way Carroll envisioned it. Dallas is a threat in the passing game, and so should be used more here.

When the soccer team has the ball

In their consecutive victory over the NFC Men’s foe, the Soccer Team went back to a game plan that focused on Antonio Gibson in the center of the action. Gibson saw his catch drop sharply before the team’s farewell as he faced a stress crack in his shin, but he appears to be back to full strength. strong. He has won 43 tons of stone in the last two competitions and Washington seemed comfortable letting him grind out onto the field and then allowing Taylor Heinicke To work, the play-action moves down to the field of the running game.

However, this game is not set up particularly well for that kind of game plan. The Seahawks place a very respectable 9th in DVOA defensive haste this season, while they’re 25th over pass. They don’t have much pressure on opposing midfielders, and they have a few glaring weaknesses in terms of coverage.

If Washington can do it, isolate Jamal Adams in space at any of the narrow ends strong enough to fit (Logan Thomas may return!) should be a consistent data source. Terry McLaurin can beat any defender you put in front of him and he can do it at any stage of the route. There are no corners Washington should dodge in this game, so the Team should look for McLaurin early and often. Attacking the outer ring loosens things up for Gibson on the inside.

Seattle’s zonal defense is more vulnerable to short passes than deep passes this year, so could be a good week to get Gibson and/or JD McKissic also participate in the game of passing the ball. McKissic has had just five goals since the team’s return from a bye, but he has scored 33 catches from 332 yards from Week 2 to Week 8, acting as a steady release valve. Probably out of the backyard for Heinicke.
