A Snapshot of the Seahawks from a Seahawks Fan's Perspective (Turning Into a Questions Session)

Hey everybody, I'm SSreporters, Seahawks fan, founder and writer of my blog Stupid Sideline Reporters, and someone who is going to try to be the resident visitor to the opponent's blog for the rest of the season (I started with the Giants last week sadly).

I haven't been able to watch Green Bay much because CBS just loves giving Seattle some pointless Raiders or Chiefs game, but what I gather is that your offensive line is teetering towards atrocious and running the football (or stopping it for that matter) is a challenge.

Now I'll give you a snapshot of how the Seahawks play and what you can expect.

• A good running game, but severely underused. Your pal Mike Holmgren is killing me by being "balanced" and/or throwing more than running. Julius Jones is on pace for over 1200 yards rushing, TJ Duckett you could say is playing like a poor man's Brandon Jacobs (literally, he runs over people and can't catch the ball), and Mo Morris and Leonard Weaver are very dangerous runners as well. Now that Mike Wahle is the correct answer at LG, and Shaun Alexander gone, our running game is quite strong.
• A good offensive line. After giving up 5 sacks to Buffalo's blitzes, the Seahawks have only given up 4 sacks the last 3 games, and the 2 that came against the Giants were with Senece "15 step drop" Wallace in the game.
  
• Pass rush. Of course they can't get to Eli Manning when the goal is to only rush 3 or 4. But at home this is a different team and they have produced 9 sacks in 2 home games. Considering GB's offensive line and the health of Aaron Rodgers, it's could be a big problem.
• Run defense. Come on, you try stopping Brandon Jacobs. Seattle has held Marshawn Lynch, Stephen Jackson, and Frank Gore all well under 100 yards with a combined 60+ carries given.

Now for the negatives:

• A joke of a secondary. I don't know what happened, but this secondary is awful. Aaron Rodgers can throw it deep all day because Brian Russell is a terrible safety, and Kelly Jennings and Josh Wilson are beaten on the big play quite often.
• No passing game. Matt Hasselbeck has thrown some poor passes (1 TD and 4 INTs this season), and the ones that are on target are dropped by stiffs like Billy McMullen. There is absolutely no deep threat so there's another plus for Green Bay now that Deion Branch is out again.
  
• Our playcalling. Mike Holmgren and John Marshall (our d-coordinator) are equally terrible playcallers.....not an opinion, it's fact, just look at the games we've played.
• Lack of a true special teams standout. Special Teams has been a big weak point, with our new punter Jon Ryan hitting touchbacks like he thinks he gets a point like in the CFL, and our kick and punt returners fumbling kicks at will. Also given up several long punt returns including one to Roscoe Parrish.
• Our total defense is ranked 26th in the league. Not good.

That's what I can give you, there's your snapshot, if you want to go into specifics then ask away in the comments section.

Good luck this Sunday!
