The Seattle Seahawks maintained their hold on first place in the NFC West in Week 10, but it was not due to their performance on the field. In a 21-16 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Hawks...
On defense the team shifted away from the nickel and dime heavy strategy that had worked so well for them during their four game win streak. Cody Barton was on the field for 60 snaps, which is how many he had played in the last two weeks combined. Yes, he came away with an interception late that gave the Hawks a fighting chance, but he had played no more than 45 snaps in any game during the four game winning streak the team rode into Munich.
Obviously, it’s not Barton’s fault the team lost, but to step away from the nickel and dim heavy personnel groupings that had been working so well seems very strange indeed. In any case, the Hawks fell to 1-4 on the season in games in which Barton plays 57 or more snaps and 5-0 in games in which he is on the field for 46 or fewer defensive snaps.
No surprises, though, when it comes to special teams, as Nick Bellore once again paced the team in special teams snaps, with Vi Jones picking up many of the snaps lost with Cullen Gillaspia moving to injured reserve.in Week 12.
