This article analyzes the performance of Seattle Seahawks rookies in their game against the Minnesota Vikings. Although the Seahawks lost, the rookies showcased their potential with impressive plays and contributions.
The Seattle Seahawks rookies combined for 169 snaps in the loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Two members of the draft class were inactive, so it’s natural for the number of snaps to drop. Still, in a game that’s crucial for the future of the season, the rookies were able to make a huge impact. Let’s look at the film from last Sunday. All data used in this article was taken from PFF.
Facing an undisciplined interior offensive line that struggles in pass protection, I said in the preview that I thought this could be a breakout game. Unfortunately, it was a game below what he’d been producing in recent games. No pressures or run stops were attributed to him. He ended up standing out with a penalty on what could have been a key sack and when he lined up on offense (Murphy had two offensive TDs in Texas, one receiving and one rushing) as additional blocker. He continues to use his trademark deadleg well. He makes the guard lose his balance against his leverage and, in addition to breaking up the double-team, he invades the backfield to tackle together with Tyrice Knight. No offensive snaps. It was a relatively solid game. No big mistakes, but no big plays either. However, there are some areas for improvement like the fact that he is easily manipulated by the QB’s eyes. This snap doesn’t create any stats for Tyrice Knight but it’s very encouraging. It’s hard to pay attention to it with Spoon’s great work on the play, but once the CB takes away Jordan Addison, QB Sam Darnold locks eyes on TE Josh Oliver (No. 84). Knight sees the fake and uses the robot technique to trap the TE, taking away the QB’s option. Darnold traps the ball and attempts a risky pass against the body. First snap of the game, the Vikings call a play action slide. The first read is Jordan Addison’s short route that comes in motion. Knight again quickly identifies the fake and cuts off the pass against TJ Hockenson. A small error in Seattle’s defense, the RB has an open path coming from the backfiel
