time in the 2018 NFL
season
Authentic
Ethan Pocic Jersey , and the last time until November 4th. Their opponents
are the undefeated Los Angeles Rams (4-0), who boast an elite offense and a
dangerous defense.We know what happened the last time the Seahawks played the
Rams in Seattle. A 42-7 thumping rendered the Seahawks out of the playoff
picture and unable to get themselves back in it. Seattle¡¯s offense was awful and
the defense was banged up and both not good and constantly having to defend
short fields. Well this year¡¯s Seahawks offense has been near the bottom of the
league, while the defense has been surprisingly strong, although they¡¯ll come
into this showdown with Earl Thomas out for the season, Mychal Kendricks
suspended, and K.J. Wright still out with injury. Seattle is a touchdown
underdog at home for the first time under Russell Wilson, but perhaps they can
spring a surprise against Sean McVay¡¯s Super Bowl caliber team. Here are all the

Reactions: Notes on the Seahawks¡¯ snap counts from Sunday¡¯s loss to the Broncos
More so than usual, the Seattle Seahawks¡¯ snap counts on Sunday were of
interest. A couple of contributing factors¡ªmainly the health of certain players
and altitude¡ªled to curious usage for a few players.Every week, we¡¯re going to
go over any player¡¯s snap counts that are worth noting or otherwise worth
discussion. First, here are the full snap counts from offense, defense and
special teams from Sunday¡¯s loss to the Denver Broncos:Chris Carson and Rashaad
Penny¡¯s equal workloadsIn Seattle¡¯s first game with both Carson and Penny, the
two backs finished with the same number of snaps: 25 each (44%).This is a
curious decision by the coaching staff. On
Thursday
http://www.seahawksauthorizedshops.com/authentic-shaquem-gri ffin-jersey ,
Brian Schottenheimer was asked how the running back group would split the
workload. He stressed they didn¡¯t have a specific split in mind, saying:Out of
the gate, it was clear Carson¡¯s form he came into training camp with had carried
into the regular season. His first two carries went for 34 yards (essentially
book-ending the first quarter) only for Penny to get two consecutive drives,
where he struggled.Meanwhile, as former Field Gulls writer Sam Gold so aptly put
it, Carson literally jumped a dude:Between Carson¡¯s tremendous form and Penny¡¯s
uninspiring play, the rotation between the two left something to be desired.Earl
Thomas¡¯s usageDespite only being added to the active roster on Saturday, Thomas
starting the game came to the surprise of no one. However, playing his first
game since January¡¯s Pro Bowl, he was eased back in, sitting out an entire drive
after picking off Case Keenum. After the game, Carroll admitted they were
resting Thomas ¡°As much as they could.¡± Carroll later said they wished they had
played Thomas even less.In total, Thomas played 86% of the defense¡¯s snaps.
Perhaps Bradley McDougald¡¯s injury forced the Seahawks to play Thomas more than
they would have liked. The more interesting part of Thomas¡¯s workload was how it
was handled. Would Seattle have been better off featuring Thomas on every drive,
while spelling him on early downs? Denver¡¯s first touchdown drive, which came on
an all-too-easy six plays, was with Thomas on the sideline. Dion Jordan and
Frank Clark aren¡¯t 100%One of the most discouraging parts of the Seahawks¡¯
opening day loss was how poorly Seattle played along the defensive line. A
contributing factor towards this was Jordan and Clark¡¯s workload. Jordan played
just 20% of snaps ¡ª no surprise ¡ª while Clark played 58%. The ends were led by
Rasheem Green (62%) and and Quinton Jefferson (65%).
This
Duane
Brown Jersey , more than likely, was temporary. Jordan is working back
from a stress fracture in his leg, while Clark began training camp limited as he
recovered from hand surgery. However, while the duo remains slowed, Jefferson
and Green will be forced into roles larger than the ones planned for them. As
the season goes on, expect Green and Jefferson¡¯s snaps to fall into the 45-55%
range. With a lower workload, the entire unit¡¯s effectiveness should increase.
Doug Baldwin slowed, even before leavingI don¡¯t have much to add here, but it¡¯s
still worth noting. Before leaving the game for good ahead of the second half,
Baldwin played just 11 of 26 first half snaps. Of course, he missed some after
initially leaving, but still perhaps a sign of what was/is to come with Baldwin
playing with pain in 2018. They¡¯ll be managing his work and likely even more so
now. With a long week¡ªthe Seahawks don¡¯t play until Monday night¡ªthe rotations
should begin to settle in Week 2. Thomas will be back to full speed, while Clark
and Jordan will be another week closer. In the coming days, we¡¯ll get a better
idea of Baldwin¡¯s health moving forward. Sunday¡¯s loss was just the beginning
and all reactions should be tempered.
