Containing Russell Wilson

If any team can limit Seattle, it's Rivera's defensive concepts. They showed last year that if they maintain their gap responsibilities and stay on their feet against the zone blocking, one cut running game they can hold the Seahawk's to under 20 points. With what should be a much better pass rush up the middle, the DEs need to make sure that they contain Wilson inside the pocket and make him throw rather than run. The LBs will be key to stopping critical 3rd downs, whether runs or passes. While the secondary will probably play mostly zone, they must limit the YAC and not give up the big play.

I believe that if they can play within themselves, we can contain Seattle. Last week against Pittsburgh, they came out too aggressive and were burned by misdirection, reverses and screens on the first series.

Play Smart...Hit Hard......WIN 20-17.

The key to breaking Russel Wilson is to break his confidence. Throw him some curve balls. See how he reacts.

 

 

I'd say it's more important to stop the running game than surprise Wilson (a very elusive guy) with blitzes 

 

edit: and by stop the running game, I mean limit Lynch- near impossible to stop him

Control the running game. Been mentioned

Contain and pressure Wilson. Been mentioned

Play ball control and keep the ball out of his hands. Been mentioned

Pretty much it has been covered.

That receiving corp is not a scary bunch. Limit Lynch and you limit the O.

If we play good to great D, this game is ours.

Well said.  Philly got us that way too.  However, the biggest thing we did in this area was to bring in Quinten Mikell at SS.  He is an in-the-box SS (like Mitchell) and he has a lot of experience.

 

Forget hurting Mitchell's feelings, Rivera.  Start QM.

The biggest thing will be endurance. Can the d-line go full steam constantly all game? Can we get decent pressure with different groups on the d-line? CANT TAKE PLAYS OFF! Goes for every game.

 

Much of that comes under point #3, keeping the Seahawks offense off the field.

      I am high, but that’s besides the point! The blue line is not good right now. I’ve said it all year. I don’t think this group meshes well. Slaven has been just OK Niki up and down Miller up and down ghost and Walker have been your most consistent guys. Maybe it comes together more towards the playoffs

      I was expecting to see more cap room moves by now, which may be to suggest that we are not going to be that aggressive.  I have mixed emotions about that (because I think we have 3 needs on D and 3 needs on O--starters).  If you look to the draft for 3 starters, that is ambitious.  We need 6

      Yeah we shouldn’t be competing with teams, bidding wise, to sign a WR. There will be one for us and our budget.  I keep saying, how many balls will there be to go around anyway? One thing good I will say for this offense is the ball has been spread around at times. Seems like I remember seeing a large number of guys have caught passes in a game. Or been targeted at least. 3 RBs 4 or 5 WRs 2-3 TEs type of stat lines. 10-11 guys.  Not every week but that happens.    As far as WR in general, we need the smaller agile and quicker component to compliment what is there. After that it should be about depth, having good backups for the starters so we can run things consistently still, if a guy is out for a week or two. That is especially important in game where you have to finish the game with who you made active.
