Danny's .02: brought to you this week by tons of Pro Football Focus
1. RB plan- start the starters
After losing Chris Carson to injury the Seahawks will be forced to start the guys they intended to start in the offseason instead of a 6th round pick. Lacey actually came alive a little last game, but focus will be on weather Rawls is the guy we fell in love with if he's the guy we've seen the last season and a quarter.
2. No Pressure
And that is a problem because the lack of pass rush outside of Frank Clark and the occasional Bennet sighting is letting QBs scan too much of the field and make decisions. There better be pressure against Goff, who has been enjoy their revamped WR talent.
3. Wilson is the best QB at the "Big Throw" and 2nd to last at holding the ball before the throw.
Obviously this means Wilson wants to keep scanning the play for the home runs. He seems to do this more in our slow starts to seasons and then start either running more or passing quicker, but right now it's compounding the bad line and quite frankly, I think it's injuring our defense physically by not accepting small gains that lead to 1st downs. This needs to be the game where he runs more AND makes decisions faster.
4. The Damn Rams
They have had our number year after with Fisher no matter how bad they have been. Now that they had a strong start with a new coach does this mean we can win again? At any rate here's a visual showing where Russel's bruises will be coming from.
5. Walsh
I predict he will miss a FG he should hit and we will be biting our nails that he hits the game winner late.
Predictions-
Seattle 27 Rams 24
