This is Walker's first *start* and I expect to see him rip off some long runs vs Arizona.. I actually would not want to be Arizona's DC preparing for this game. The Seahawk's passing offense is the main threat that you would have to plan for, but KW3 is going to cause some worry as well.
As it will be all season though it comes down to the Seahawk's D: can it keep the scoring down enough to allow the Offense to win the game? With a Hopkins-less Arizona team, I believe they can.
I'm having a pessimistic season, though not really because I've written the year off. I don't see the Hawks pushing the Cards because our defense is so atrocious. If it were just offense versus offense, I'd favor our guys. Geno's not Mahomes but the Cards' defense isn't San Francisco. It doesn't help that Penny's out. Walker's gonna be great but probably not as a rookie. I agree with Doug that he's got a good chance to rip off some impressive runs that reveal his potential but I suspect he'll run into a lot of walls along the way.
I'm expecting a high scoring game but I see us losing by at least 7; maybe 10 or 14.

In the multiverse, there is a reality where the Hawks and Cardinals have completely and identically flip-flopped player and coaching personnel. I prefer the universe in which we live now.
My cartoon image of the Seahawks v. the Cards would be a baffled hen sitting on a heap of eggs. Beastquake II notwithstanding, the ‘Hawks have bombed so often against this team that it’s become impossible to ignore.
I really see Seattle winning this game. It should be high scoring. Our offense is better and our defense is better...and by that I mean theirs is worse.
Very interesting statistics regarding the Cardinals.
My concern is Connors, he is a very strong runner who breaks tackles. If the Seahawks can keep him between the tackles maybe we can slow him down as well.
Naturally Zach Ertz will see the ball a lot, and no doubt they will have him in places where Cody Barton needs to cover him. This is where we miss Jamal Adams. True Adams couldn't catch a cold or a crosstown bus but that is his only weakness. Every safety in the NFL is going to have a higher rate of completions than a good corner. This is mostly because they have other duties and must asses where the biggest threat is coming from. Ertz would catch passes against Adams but his tackles would keep them to a 5 yard average. Somehow Brooks and Barton must come up big.
Question is Woolen playing full time on the right side ? It would be great if he could travel with Brown, but very understandable if that is not part of his repertoire yet.
As far as our offense goes keep doing the same things. I can see DJ Dallas getting about the same number of carries as KW3. If he can average 4 yards a carry that won't be a bad thing. I would like to see KW3 getting 5 or 6 touches in the passing game. It's obvious if you give him some space he can make things happen.
PS if you get the chance watch Richard Sherman's Podcast with Marshawn Lynch it is very entertaining an enlightening
Arizona could be kyptonite for our defensive weaknesses. A force-fed TE and a lot of short passes versus the 89th and 92nd rank on-ball linebacker is scary. Kyler Murray is hard to corral even with a talented and effective pass rush; we have neither. My advice, bet the over.

Tariq Woolen has more interceptions than 10 other teams. He also has more than the rest of the Seahawks.

Take a jigsaw puzzle in a box and throw it in the air. What you see is the Hawks.
