Skins hawks game day thread

[CultBrennan59]

- Seahawks special teams maybe the best ST's we've faced all year; Leon's going to the Pro Bowl.

- Seahawks secondary is the best in the league
> I expect a lot of fights/flags today with our fiesty and physical WR's against their huge physical CBs
> The negative to having a huge secondary which loves to press is the slot WRs get free easily (Welker, Bess, Titus Young all had HUGE days receiving when they beat the Seahawks). I expect Moss to have a big game.

- Seattle has a rookie MLB named Bobby Wagner you should keep an eye on. He is in the discussion for DROY, and coming out of Utah St he was compared to none other than London Fletcher.

-Chris Clemons (remember him?!) is a very good pass rusher. Bruce Irvin is a speed rusher with 4.5 speed. I expect them to be used to contain Robert in the pocket.
>Their weakness however is that the can be ran over easily (just do some Morris off tackle runs)

-Seattle has a pro bowl Center and a pro bowl LT. The LT Okung, gets injured often. I expect a lot of blitzes up the middle again, along with blitzes up the right side of the line, and rush containment with Kerrigan and Rob Jackson. I expect to see our fastest MLB (Riley) to spy Wilson.

-Pete Carroll runs a 4-3 defense; but really its a hybrid 4-3, meaning lots of 3-4 alignments. Chris Clemons is really a DE/OLB. I expect Red Bryant to have a good game on the rookie LeRibeus.

- Michael Robinson is a pro bowl caliber FB for Seattle, a converted college QB, so he can run, get open, and may do a surprise throw.
>I expect a trick play today from Pete Carroll seeing that he will do fake punts no matter what the score is (see Buffalo game).

-The key to beating Marshawn Lynch is tackling, but more specifically from our secondary. DHall and Wilson need to get physical and wrap up (none of that Gronkowski tackling DHall).

-Teams have had lots of success running on Seattle with jumbo formations(3 TE sets), since their defense is on the small side in the front 7.

-Josh Morgan, an Ex-49er has only played against Browner and Sherman once getting 2 catches for 28 yards on them. The last time Garcon played Seattle, they only had 1 starter that will be playing todays game on their defense (Brandon Mebane DT). Last time Moss played Sherman and Browner he had 4 catches for 29 yards, but Anthony Armstrong our speedster had a 50 yard TD catch. So in summary, Seattle hasn't played our WR core yet.

-Doug Baldwin is Seattles Aldrick Robinson. You hear about him occasionally, and when you do you hear about him making big time catches. He's more dangerous than Rice and Tate IMO.

- I would use a lot of Niles Paul today whether its lining him out wide or putting him on the line, he's fast and physical much like Seattles Secondary.

-Kam Chancellor does the old LaRon Landry, bite on the pump fake pretty hard. I'd do an out and up or hitch and go on him. RG3 needs to look off Earl Thomas because he can cover and close fast than most FS's in the NFL.

-Anthony McCoy their TE has come on of late. Put Cedric on him.
