With a 10-day break after a three-game losing streak, the Seattle Seahawks are searching for any way to get back in the win column versus the Atlanta Falcons.
After three straight losses and a much-needed 10-day break, the Seattle Seahawks need a confidence booster — badly.
Jerrell, however, has yet to see the field at all in his rookie season. At 6-5, 294 pounds, Jerrell is a prototype athlete at the tackle spot but spent his entire college career at the Division II level. He did log 63 snaps in the preseason. Regardless, both rookies will face tough tasks in their first starts, but each has an opportunity to prove themselves moving forward.Entering Week 7, the Falcons have the league’s lowest pressure-to-sack percentage at just 7.
Regardless of whether Walker does play, offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb needs to stay committed to the run game even if it starts slow. Smith cannot continue to attempt to carry the offense with his right arm and the receivers’ hands. It makes the offense far too one-dimensional to have consistent success. With one of the best running back duos in the league, this team has to find its balance.
Another game with hefty defensive injuries doesn’t make things any easier for Seattle. Without two of their top three cornerbacks, limiting Atlanta’s pass-catchers becomes an even taller task. But perhaps the biggest concern should be Robinson and Tyler Allgeier against Seattle’s run defense, which has allowed the sixth-most rushing yards in the league.
