There’s no Cooper Kupp to deal with this week, but the Seahawks still have to face Aaron Donald.
Cam Akers tore his Achilles tendon at the end of the 2021 season and thanks to that injury and some problems with Sean McVay and the organization, he got off to a dreadful start. However, from Week 13 through the end of the season, he looked like the Cam Akers of old, averaging 4.92 yards per carry in addition to 11 receptions for 99 yards.
The area that Akers improved the most though over the course of the season was his pass blocking. In the early part of the season he was simply unusable on passing downs because of his shortcomings as a blocker. He missed a multitude of assignments and couldn’t stand up to backers, which caused him to be benched by McVay. After he came back, it was a completely different story which we can see on the first video.
