Seahawks Going Into Game Three

We all know that the Seahawks had poor offense in the first two games of the season scoring a total of fifteen points. The team is not going win to many games that way. Actually they were lucky to win the first game 12-10 over the Miami Dolphins scoring a touchdown with thirty seconds to go. We thought that they may win the game in LA against the Rams in the same fashion however Christine Michael fumbled the ball when he ran after catching a pass. Previous play Tyler Lockett caught a fifty yard pass that could have gone for a touchdown if the ball had been thrown in front of him and if he was not caught on his feet by the defender.  Although the defense has played very well in the two games the Mariners won’t be able to win to often when not scoring touchdowns very often.

The Seahawks have to know that until Russell Wilson gets over his high ankle sprain that the offense line has to do a better job of opening holes for either Christine Michael or Thomas Rawls who should be back in this Sunday against the 49ers after leaving early in the game against the Rams. Both Lockett who missed some action in the game before coming back in against the Rams and Doug Baldwin are expected back as well.

The ankle injury to Wilson limits him in his running away from defenders and getting some positive yardage he is unable to go downfield a lot as well. He will have to spend some time in the pocket and throw short passes when the running backs are not running the ball.

Although the defense has done a good job so far in both games they need to make some turnovers to either score or set the offense to score. It is the only part of the defense that has been lacking so far with little turnovers. I would not be surprised if the defense works more on the turnovers this week in practice. Another thing is watch the penalties that have hurt the team as well.

I expect that the game against the 49ers will be low scoring again as well. It would be nice if the offense could get in a couple touchdowns. The 49ers like the Dolphins and Rams are not very good offensive teams along with the Seahawks defense doing a good job. I expect that Wilson will be looking for Jimmy Graham more in this game along with the other receivers. The Seahawks can’t afford to have the offense continue having slow starts during the early part of the season. The offensive line needs to come of age instead of waiting until half season. All we expect as fans is to see progress by the offensive line along with the rest of the offense. It is important for them to win especially going against another division rival. Go Seahawks!!
