Seahawks Offense Comes Alive




 After scoring one touchdown in their first two games the Seattle Seahawks offense came alive against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday to win 37-18. The game was not even that close since the 49ers scored two touchdowns after the Seahawks were ahead 37-3.

Trevone Boykin came in the third quarter when Russell hurt his left knee. Russell did come back after one play to finish off the drive but then the Seahawks left him on the bench for the rest of the game. The Seahawks had such a big lead at the time there was no point to leave Wilson in the game even if he had not hurt his knee. Both Wilson and the Seahawks believe he will be ready to play against the Jets. Personally I believe they should give Boykin all the reps this week in practice and then have him start the game against the Jets. If he has trouble running the offense then I would have Wilson come in. The Seahawks have a bye the following week so why not rest Wilson to get more health than have the possibility where he could get hurt further. Having Wilson healthy for the stretch run would be better than the possibility of getting further injured.

Thomas Rawls is expected to be back for the Jets game however Christine Michael who had a good game against the 49ers will start the game against the Jets. Rawls will get in for some play as well. How much he will play will depend how Michael is performing and how he is doing at the same time. Also running back C.J. Prosise is expected back and rookie first round pick Germain Ifedi make his first start at guard. The Seahawks will be close to full strength.

Jimmy Graham had his best game since becoming a Seahawk receiving over hundred yards in the game. He showed that he is close to full strength himself and can be a good target for the Seahawks. He can catch a ball wherever he is at and who maybe covering him. He showed the Seahawks the faith they have in him and how much they are paying him.  

The future of this season looks bright long as the Seahawks are careful with Wilson especially. According to Pete Carroll they will watch how Wilson goes this week and he hopes to keep him out this week to. The Seahawks are at the top of the division and have a game lead over the Arizona Cardinals. Go Seahawks!
