The Seahawks always scare me at home. I don't care who they're missing. We're missing a lot of people too. The last several weeks, people continue to say "oh we're gonna CRUSH so and so" -- we got handled by a losing team and barely beat the Rams at home. I wish I was that confident, but this is another high pressure game that worries the crap out of me.
Seahawks will do everything in their power to avoid back to back home losses. We've got to come out with a great game plan and execute it brilliantly.
We need to get back to our bread and butter on offense. Run the ball and play action. Misdirection and keep em guessing. Against LA we came out the first 2 or 3 drives and started out in the shotgun on 1st down. As soon as we get under center and play our offense 5 plays and 75 yards later we score. We need to do that from the opening.
I really hope KS was hiding stuff to unleash for this game. If we come out with the mindset that we're gonna score each time we have the ball I dont think they'll be able too keep up. If we can out shoot the Saints we can beat the a banged up Hawks team, but only if we come out with some damn urgency.
All of this.
I literally cant stand it when we play so much shotgun on offense. Makes even less sense with a backup center that was having trouble snapping the ball. Shanahan is a smart guy maybe there is a method to it
Yeah I was not happy about all the shotgun calls either. It's like Shanny thinks we're the Patriots in year 10 of the dynasty and he can just hand the game to Jimmy G and the WR's. We're not there yet. Get under center, run the ball, set up play action, and keep the defense honest. As soon as we get in shotgun the opposing DL just pins their ears back and wreaks havoc on our banged up OL.
