As is the season long case, all we need to do is keep improving. Results are secondary - as Arizona will tell you from last year! Good coaching to improve players is the #1 factor in success.
So I want to see the OLine keep working. I want to see the edge set, or at least attempting to be set, properly - especially by Mafe who's been poor in that area.
This could be a good game. Cards don't have multiple threats or YAC monsters. If we can make life awkward for Murray we have a great shot.
My concern is two fold. 1) Laken & Lucas, our LG has been atrocious and I fear for Lucas longevity. 2) Defensive spacing. Post-snap recognition has been a worry, and with Murray's ability to scramble the Cards could demolish us in the mid-level as plays breakdown.
No epic rivalry, but a great chance to show lessons learned from the 49ers and that it wasn't just a bye week bump.
Wow. Playing at Home has been anything but an advantage. I can understand how our dismal starts have done this. Seems the 12s take it to Ugly earlier and harder watching another 3-and-out. The Guys need to toss the Beast a bone. Some red meat to chew on. Get some genuine love back into the stadium. I hope to see our OC script up a great first drive before the crowd can take a breath. Fast and furious. Something substantial. An actual drive. Keep the DK Deep Ball in your back pocket, Grubb. Let DK calm down, lest the boo's start again and ruin us for 3 quarters.
How about if we just run the ball down their stupid throat and make them wish the the game were over buy the third quarter? Third down? No worries. We got this!
AS you said it is contain KM! Hold the ground attack to below their average, hopefully by 25 to 30 yards. We must somehow run the ball a bit- Hopefully the backs themselves can get a 100-yard game. That will make a big difference in the O game calling and third downs. Win the turnover battle and they should have a win at home! GO HAWKS!!!
I am very excited for this game. Much respect for the Cardinals and what they have done down south.
I think this will be a great game. The key to me to the game is can the Seahawks defense play well against the run for the third straight game? If the answer is yes - I think we win. I think the offense will do well. With Olu and Lucas in there - I like their chances.
Well last week I did not give the Seahawks much of a chance, needing Geno to be Mary Poppins-like (practically perfect in every way). I think the same is true this week except that this MAY be the week the running game gets untracked. We haven’t seen K9 take over a game this season but tomorrow is an opportunity for him.
In Mafe’s rookie season one of his sacks was vs Murray where he chased him down from behind as he was trying to escape. Let’s see if he can do that again.
He seems to at the wrong times , roll inside and not keep his outside contain- Did it twice in the niners game. But it didn't really cost them bad as it sometimes does. Once a big first down for the niners, the other someone else filled it and made the play ( don't remember who.)

That works!

Go hawks! Can’t wait!
I only know one thing: this game is going to be brutal. Really brutal. Hopefully Abe comes away healthy enough.
Kyler Murray strikes me as a guy who is hard to be teammates with. When hero-ball fails him, so will his guys. Tick Tock.

Can anybody explain why the term UNTRACKED is used - To me that makes no sense ! If you want to do well let's get ON TRACK!
I don't think I've ever heard "untracked" before, outside of the postal service.
Uncorked. Unleashed. Unbelievable. Unplayable. I'll even give unmetered in this context too.
As long as it's not undone, undercooked, unraveled or unkempt.
Announcers and NFL guys use untracked all the time- Makes No Sense!
HooYah on K9! Pass the Ketchup, Grubb!
"Dre’Mont Jones has the same number of sacks, more pressures, and far fewer missed tackles than Boye Mafe"
So why are we so down on Dremont?

Salary...
Low bar
My picks: a pick-6 off Murray and 6 sacks!
I'll take 6 tackles of Murray. Hopefully at least some of them behind the line of scrimmage
