Seahawks Redskins Rookie Showdown

[firstdown]

I think the Seahacks trip up and we roll right over them.

I expect a really tight game. Both teams are pretty evenly matched. I think being at home will be a big advantage. I only wish this was a 1:00 game so it would be starting at 10am their time.

I agree with everything that you said. Methinks that the Hawks run defense is not as tough on the road, opening the door for Alfmo to make a big difference.

I really like the odds makers picking against us. Much rather have the Seahawks over San Fran.

We're going to have to get more than 100 yards in the passing game. No way do we run wild like we did last week. I expect another close one but these guys are beatable when they have to go on the road. If it was at Quest then we probably lose.

The stats of Wilson and Griffin are amazingly similar. They both threw 393 passes, Griffin obviously in one less game:

plyr----cmp ----- att -----cmp%-----yards-----TD-----TD%-----INT-----INT%
RW ----252 ----- 393 ----- 64.1 ----- 3118----- 26----- 6.6----- 10-----2.5
RG3----258 ----- 393 ----- 65.6 ----- 3200 ----- 20 ----- 5.1-----5---- 1.3

I went back and looked over their records and they have a tough time on the road in smaller stadiums that had around 60,000 in attendance. Wait until they come here and have 90,000 fans rocking the house.

Was anyone at the cowboys game? On TV it didn't seem like it was that loud

Turn up your TV.

Seemed plenty loud to me.

It may have been loud, but we didn't see any false starts or delay of game type penalties loud stadiums can cause. Of course it helps when the refs give you 31 ticks on the clock, but it's not going to be overwhelming to Seattle, they are used to hearing LOUD noise, even if their offense benefits from the quiet.

I didn't think at the time that Fedex was as loud(on TV) as I expected.

I worry about Russell Wilson scrambling when the Redskins can't keep him contained in the pocket. I figure Marshawn will get his 100 yards and a score, but if the Redskins can force some turnovers and limit their own they can win. Winning the turnover battle has been the key to the Redskins victories as of late. Will pressuring Wilson lead him to making mistakes and turning it over? No, I think it will lead to him scrambling for yards.

I was more worried about Dallas due to there impressive pass offense and our weak secondary

Dallas' pass rush was non-existent. Ware was performing at easily 50%. I think the Seahawks D will be a much bigger challenge than Dallas.

To be fair Pitt did a pretty good job of stopping us.

And you could say we did a good job at stopping ourselves with all the drops that day.
