Week 4 – Seahawks @ Dolphins

Six very important players in this upcoming matchup between the Miami Dolphins who are hosting the red hot Seattle Seahawks. There are more of course, more players who will have an impact on this game because ultimately 22 players are o0n the field at any given time. If our defensive line can’t harass QB Russell Wilson it will make the containment of WR’s Tyler Lockett and D.J. Metcalf very difficult. Even pressure alone doesn’t cut it with Russell Wilson, it’s containment as well. His escapability and ability to keep plays alive is one of his best assets, so initial pressure will be good, but not allowing him to scramble and find room to escape and keep the play going will be key. This is where Wilson separates himself from most QB’s, he’s one of the very best. Defending Tyler Lockett who is a very fast and savvy WR is difficult enough as it is, and same for physically imposing D.J. Metcalf, who by the way I was very wrong about. Thus far, Russell Wilson has been nearly the perfect QB. He’s completed nearlym 77% of his passes for 925 yards and 14 TD’s against one INT. His TD% is an absurd 13.6%. If not for Pat Mahomes, he would be considered the NFL’s best in 2020.

The Miami front 7 will also have their hands full, because not only can the Seahawks throw it but they have 2 backs that can run well too. Chris Carson leads their rushing attack with a modest 157 yards on 37 carries and Carlos Hyde can grind out a game too. Russell Wilson is actually 2nd on the team at the moment in rushing with 90 yards on 14 carries. He can do it all! The Seattle O-line has been built with a few retreads like LT Duane Brown (HOU), LG Mike Iupati (ARZ) and RT Brandon Shell (NYJ). C Ethan Pocic and RG Damien Lewis are the only Seattle draftees. They’re not a great line, but Russell Wilson makes them better than they are. Wilkins, Ogbah, Godchaux, Lawson, Van Noy, Sieler, Davis, Van Noy, Van Ginkel, Baker, Roberts and Grugier-Hill are all going to need to be disciplined and not lose containment. Flushing Wilson is good but bringing him down or forcing him to get rid of the ball before he wants to is important.

On offense, if we can duplicate what we did last week to Jacksonville we should be in this game. Seattle’s defense is a little better and Pete Carroll is a much better coach. All Pro S Jamal Adams is used all over the place, coverage, playing the run and rushing the passer and he does it all well. Not a big name defense but they have a trio of LB’s who get it done and tackle well in Wagner, Wright and Barton. No longer the “Legion of Boom”, Adams adds a little pop back into that secondary. We have extra time to prepare for this one which can only help us. It will give WR DeVante Parker a couple of extra days to rest that hamstring and give RB Myles Gaskin a breather after 22 carries Thursday night, far more than he’s had since his college days. It’s only 3 games in and you never know if things will change, but Gaskin looks like the real deal. We still have Jordan Howard and Matt Breida, but for now they seem like role players, Howard the goal line threat and Breida the change of pace. Gesicki will have a more difficult matchup this week and last week he only caught one pass. Parker gutted it out last week as opposed to sitting the game out like he would in the past and the team needs him. At some point this season we may see Lynn Bowden and Malcolm Perry but I think it might be a while. Parker, Williams, Ford and Gesicki and Gaskin are the main contributors.

If at the end of the day, Russell Wilson doesn’t have 3 or more TD’s and Carson and Hyde don’t have well over 100 yards combined I think we have a shot in this one. I don’t know if we’re capable of keeping the ball out of Wilson’s hands but I would like us to do that. Long drives mixing rushing with Gaskin and passing to the previously mentioned guys ending up in with TD’s on the board can make us a real spoiler upset. The line is 6.5 for the bad guys. We have our work cut out for us but a nice effort like last weeks win could keep us in this one.

GO DOLPHINS!!!

    Seriously wishing the best for Trump because, as a decent person, it’s just the right thing to do. But not far down the list, I also don’t want to listen to conspiracy theories for the foreseeable future about how the dems did it to him.

    Didn’t realize Myles Gaskin is our leading receiver right now. He is doing it all.

  4. bailbondmike's avatar bailbondmike says:

    Our OL is tied for 8th in fewest sacks allowed at 5. Seahawks OL is tied for 22nd at 9 sacks allowed. Surprising with a elusive QB.

    • steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

      Still surprising after all these years? Wilson has always taken more than his share of sacks, because he holds the ball for so long. Big Ben does the same, as do some others that are mobil.

  5. bailbondmike's avatar bailbondmike says:

    Seahawks are 15th in rushing. We are 19th.

  6. bailbondmike's avatar bailbondmike says:

    Seahawks are #1 in scoring with 15 TD’s (only 1 rushing). We are tied for 21st in scoring with 8 TD’s (balanced with 4 rushing and 4 passing.)

  7. bailbondmike's avatar bailbondmike says:

    Seahawks pass D has given up 1292 yards to rank worst in NFL (more yards than Jets and Broncos who have played 4 games) but only given up 6 TD’s and have 4 INT’s. We have given up the 24th most yards at 797 yards and only given up 4 passing TD’s and only one INT.

  8. bailbondmike's avatar bailbondmike says:

    Seahawks run D is #2 giving up only 200 yards in 3 games at 3 YPC and 4 TD’s. Like our pass D, we have given up the 24th most yards at 401 in 3 games at 4.9 ypc and 5 TD’s (however, more than half the 401 was given up to the Pats in game 1).

  9. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    Stats can definitely be skewed because teams aren’t even bothering to run because they are passing all over them. Plus, The Seahawks are scoring so many points you have to pass to keep up, so it’s a two-headed reason why no one is running against them. I don’t care how we get yards and points as long as we get them.

    • steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

      But the YPC they give up is very low, so their run D has been pretty good. Zeke last week, cheats in week 2. They did however stack the box vs NE and Dallas threw it a lot, so the eye test needs to be used. Watching their game against the cheats, they didn’t seem that hard to run against until they brought Adam’s into the box.

      Bottomline is they can stop your run game, but if it’s really good they need some help. Their passing D is very suspect and they don’t get much passrush.

  10. steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

    Keys to success, score early and often and don’t allow Wilson to score on his last real drive.

  12. olddolphan's avatar olddolphan says:

    REASONS for the Fins to run the ball vs. Seattle on Sunday:
    1) RAIN–LOTS OF IT–is in the forecast.
    2) YOU CAN’T improve your running game
    by passing 90% of the time.
    3) IF OUR O-LINE really is improving, WE
    SHOULD BE ABLE to run vs. ANYBODY!!
    IF NOT, we need some new O-Linemen!!
    4) The Best way to slow down the pass rush
    is to call a run, and run EFFECTIVELY,
    when they LEAST EXPECT IT!!
    5) FITZY is a PROVEN runner under the
    right circumstances (such as an all-out
    blitz on 3rd and 11). Take advantage of
    this talent!!
    6) ATTITUDE and BALL CONTROL. In a high
    scoring game, ball control may be your BEST
    DEFENSE. The longer Russell Wilson SITS,
    the better I like our chances. The attitude that
    WE CAN and WE WILL run the ball is something
    that championship teams have.

    • steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

      I’ve seen that game and we lost to Peyton, while winning the TOP 2-1. We must throw to win. Why would you try to force our weakness into their strength and not vice versa?

      • olddolphan's avatar olddolphan says:

        STEVE; WHAT I SAID was that we needed to run the ball more than we have, and we need to do it EFFECTIVELY! What is viewed as a “WEAKNESS” needs to be viewed as a potential strength at some point. I NEVER SAID abandon the pass, or anything like it.
        A balanced offense is a winning offense.

  14. CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

    Parker didn’t even show up on this week’s injury report, so hopefully that means his hamstring is no longer bothering him. Have to give the guy credit for playing and being a factor even while clearly being hampered by the injury.

    • olddolphan's avatar olddolphan says:

      CAVKONG; HOPE things are improving, health wise, in your family. A Lightning season ticket holder told me Pat Maroon is now a free agent. HE likes Tampa Bay’s chances of resigning Maroon to a multi year contract.

      • CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

        Cheers, OD.
        And in case you missed it up above, congrats on winning the cup 🙂

      • olddolphan's avatar olddolphan says:

        THANKS CAVKONG. Everybody is recovered and sobered-upright now. Unfortunately, most of those who attended the huge Stanley Cup celebration at Raymond James Stadium neither wore masks nor practiced social distancing. The big Tampa Bay hospitals are expecting an upswing in the infection rate next week. I hope that doesn’t happen!

  15. CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

    Bummed to see planetoid Kindley with a foot injury. How many years has it been since we’ve actually had a good line? The Sparano days? This year’s line has the potential to be the best we’ve had since then.

    • son of a son of a shula's avatar son of a son of a shula says:

      We were decent during Sporano years, sporadic with lots of injuries, but it’s really been since Richmond Webb was here that we were a good line and even then we couldn’t or didn’t run it well. Haven’t had a true run blocking line since Larry Little was here.
      The smart Mount Kindley wears that beautiful number 66 as well speaking of Little.
      OD it takes some time for the line to come together this is a good group they’ll get there. Running it is key on Sunday if we want to win.

    • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

      I’m curious to see whether it’s Hunt or Deiter who replaces him

  16. CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

    Steve it was 3-1 TOP in our favor. I’ll never forget that stat because it was so insane. We had just over 45 minutes of ball control, Colts had just under 15. Crazy.

  17. Wyoming85's avatar wyoming85 says:

    • CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

      Huh? How the heck would that work, and why?

      It must be to make sure other Patriots players don’t test positive and pass it on to the Chiefs…

      • CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

        Actually that makes sense if they just found out today about Newton. Wow, that would screw up a couple of weeks for both teams.

  18. son of a son of a shula's avatar son of a son of a shula says:

    Steve, we have to be able to run just enough to control the clock. Really controlling the clock is the real key running it is the best way but they use a short passing game it could be very effective.

    • steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

      We need lots of 1st downs, however we get them. Not real concerned with TOP, unless we get killed there. We just need to run enough to keep the D honest.

      This is not a regular game, forget about a 70s power running game or in general. We must score and we can’t do that running it 40 times or maybe even 30 times.

    The most retarded play in football, when kicking the ball off from the 50, is kicking it out of the endzone. Kick it high and to the 5 in the NFL, in college do the same or try an onside kick. In college a fair catch anywhere on the field brings the ball out, at least, to the 25, that’s why I might try an onside kick.

    I don’t get why the cheats game is PPD. One player is positive just, because its Cam? Didn’t they add extra PS guys this year in case a team had positves?

    Playing Tuesday gives them 2 less days next week, so I guess they don’t win there. Cheats play Donkeys next week.

    • CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

      The only logical reason I can come up with for postponing a couple of days is in case there are more Pets players that have it but aren’t testing positive yet. This gives them a couple more days to catch those players before they infect the Chiefs. And if a few more players do test positive, maybe the will reschedule the game instead.

    Cav — it’s a reason but not a guarantee either. Incubation period is just too long. Look at what happened at the White House. It’s a good control cause those folks get tested every day. Seems pretty clear that the infections began at a ceremony introducing the Supreme Court Nom last Saturday. First positive test didn’t some up till Thursday with Hope Hicks.

    • CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

      The good news is so far none of the Vikings have tested positive even though it is likely they played against infected players.

        But a bunch of the people at the saturday event have turned up positive in the last couple days. So I’m going with that, and includes Kellyanne Conway who was also in the debate prep.

    RIP Bob Gibson. One of the all-time greats. So dominate in 1968 they lowered the mound the following year.

  35. steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

    What if the season were over now with no more games played? Houston 0-3😉

  36. CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

    -Gibson’s former catcher Tim McCarver described him as having “eyes smoldering at each batter, almost accusingly.” Dusty Baker once said the only two people he ever felt intimidated by were “Bob Gibson and my daddy,” and when Baker was preparing to face Gibson during Baker’s time with the Braves, Hank Aaron gave him some advice.

    “Don’t stare at him, don’t smile at him, don’t talk to him,” Aaron said. “If you happen to hit a home run, don’t run too slow, don’t run too fast. If you happen to want to celebrate, get in the tunnel first.”-

  37. CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

    Gibson started 34 games in the 1968 season and went the full nine innings in 28 of them. He had 13 shutouts and 268 strikeouts. In one stretch from June 6 to July 30, he won 11 straight starts — all of them complete games — and allowed only three runs.

    Gibson still has the lowest single season ERA for a pitcher in the live ball era at 1.12.

  38. CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

    Steve, it’s odd, but when I read he Gibson passed, I thought “didn’t that happen a couple of months ago?” I must have attributed Lou Brock to that as well.

    NFL is open to a team by team bubble for the rest of the season. According to the article, this was previously rejected by the players association. The author of the article states the players may be more open to that idea now, although it doesn’t look like he has an inside track on that but is giving an opinion.

    We aren’t going to win a shootout with the Hawks. At least that seems highly improbable. It’s not about scoring a bunch of points. We aren’t that sort of team anyway. It’s not about power running. Nobody just calls a ton of power run plays anymore anyway. It’s about running to control the clock, but you mix in the short passing game as well, of course. Throwing a bunch, not running clock and giving them the ball back a lot is a recipe for disaster.
    ***
    We’ll see how it goes. The score will dictate a lot. If they get up early, then we may need to start throwing to keep up. If we can keep the score close late into the game, then you can do things differently. I’d rather keep it, say, in the low 20s…not the mid 30s. Just don’t put the ball in Wilson’s hands late with a chance to win if you can help it.

    • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

      Agreed you want to limit Wilson’s possessions.

    • steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

      No one wants to get into a shootout with Seattle, but we may not have a choice. Forget about the clock, just worry about scoring. We might be able to win a high scoring game.

      • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

        Yeah after I posted I did kind of think we could win a high scoring game. We’ve scored pretty well the last two games and Seattle’s defense isn’t defending the pass very well right now. But as Randy said, we don’t want Wilson getting the ball last with a chance to win.

    You never know how games will go. Most come down to doing what you need to do to win and not being able to control everything. Just win, baby! I don’t care how it happens. It’s fun to think through a game though. If we can win 35-38, great! If we can wear them down in the heat and humidity and win by leaning on them, that shit works too. Lol

    SMU QB Shane Buechele would be a decent prospect to draft in the mid rounds. He lit up #25 Memphis going 32-45 for 474 yards, 3 TD and 0 INT.

    • bailbondmike's avatar bailbondmike says:

      Also, if we were to miss out on the likes of WR Waddle in the 1st round, someone like SMU WR Reggie Roberson would be a decent option later. He had 5 receptions for 243 yards today and 2 TD’s before tweaking his leg and leaving the game.

    What’s this whole “Howie’s List” thing, seriously? My man didn’t die (nor is close to dying), so as to have a list made in his memory… he got tired of the BS that goes on here and left you, as have so many others.

    Does merely mentioning his name make everybody feel fuzzy and cuddly (reminiscing the old days of the Sun-Sentinel, where we had REAL moderators like Chris Tiedje) after current moderators have run so many off this site (like Ocala Howie, himself)? I mean… WTF?!!

    Asking for a friend. I’ll hang up and listen…

    OR , Howie started doing the list it was always fun , and as opposed to being accused of hijacking someone’s idea , it has been continued with the creators name … two sides to the coin MF… that was a little beneath you Sir

    • mf13ss's avatar mf13ss says:

      Hey, Manitoba! Hope all is well with you, bud!

      Yes, there are two sides to every coin. Howie felt ran off, man… and he made it very clear here, and we all saw it.

        Shits okay MF , thanx .. Tired of the COVID world, looking forward to normal again someday, and cheering for Our Team … I must have missed the Howie run off episode you mention.. I know things get heated , and shit gets said, I see some come and go and some just disappear.. I just figure peoples lives change and they may not have as much interest/time .. wish all above didn’t happen , but all are welcome and some are even missed 🤡🤘

    Howie was run off? Seems that’s a bit of revisionist history. I don’t remember any friction with Howie at all to be honest. Not sure why this is even an issue “The Howie Score” if something did happen, obviously we think of Howie in a good light or we wouldn’t name it that.

    M – These constant attempts to stick it to this blog are fucking tired man. Yeah, we’re not perfect, what fucking blog ever was? You’re salty about a run in with someone here, either get over it or don’t get over it but don’t bring it back here because no one wants to see it, I promise you. We’re all just people, and to call us moderators is stretching the title pretty far, we never wanted to be that and there are probably less than a handful of times when we actually have moderated anything over the years. You want to come here and talk, feel free, but please leave that be already.

    Thanks, Mike

    I think the Seahawks offense is going to be too much for us this week, but if we can somehow beat them, that will open my eyes and a lot of people around NFL circles because that would be a big upset, despite the players the Hawks have out this Sunday.

    ****

    He might be a good fit for us. I’m curious to see when we get closer to draft time how he is evaluated and where they are projecting him – but he looks like the type of versatile LB that we can use

  63. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    If we can dominate the game on offense we have a chance, but not sure if we can win a 38-35 type of shootout. That would be fun as hell to watch though

    • The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

      I think we might be able to score a lot of points

      It would be helpful to score early though – that’s one of the let’s imo

    The only way our O is going to ultimately win this game is, if we have the ball last, see NE 2019, otherwise the D is going to have to make a stand. I can see, without it being a reach, X picking Wilson as the play of the game.

    You’re always flaming, what did MF 13 do to deserve your stupidity?

    you saw a chance and took a shot, very low class.

  77. herdfan's avatar herdfan says:

    I’m pretty tired of all this drama that is repeatedly stirred up. I’ll add that I’ve deleted a good deal of this post and toned it down.

    Howie’s List was a tip of the hat to the person who always did the list and isn’t on the blog lately. I have no idea why. I do know in the past he had said he had computer issues or getting logged in, he had his daughter helping him, I do remember him saying that. My assumption has been that he might still be having issues and if there was a way to help him, I’d do that but we have no way of contacting him, at least I don’t. I’ve helped OD several times, stanger and OD can confirm that. No one was saying he was dead, I wouldn’t know that one way or the other but I know that wasn’t a thought I had. If he’s not here because of the drama here, all I can say to that is ME TOO! Since it’s being brought up, something tells me if we hadn’t given Howie credit, there would be a comment about that, we had ‘stolen’ his idea. It’s a no win situation no matter what we do.

    This person makes references to talking to people off the blog, all his people who have left due to how bad this place is. Maybe they have. I don’t know. The admins of this blog are professional people, we all have demanding jobs, and we hope this place can run on auto pilot because we don’t have time to police it. We do this as a hobby, it’s meant to be fun. What I do know is I have also gotten emails, complaints about this same person. The drama common denominator.

    I don’t care what people post about here, the off season is long, this year more than most. There’s all kinds of things going on in the world and of course it gets mentioned here. We don’t always agree, but in time things generally work themselves out when you are dealing with adults. What I do mind is someone coming here and telling people what they can or can’t post when they have no authority on this blog to do anything. What’s worse, they make a comment that gets something started, then complains when others don’t agree and then says, stay with football….WTF?

    For the life of me, I don’t understand why someone feels the need to continually come to this blog just to be negative, just to be insulting, just to make snarky comments at us. That’s seriously messed up.

  78. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    i highly doubt Howie left due to the content of this blog, and for those who think he did they also should have a right to their opinion.
    I have met Howie personally, he doesn’t get caught up in that stuff, he’s a mild mannered person.

    Maybe anyone who doesn’t like the way this blog rolls should spend a couple hunnert dollars and start their own blog. Then they can run it the way they want. If the world is against you, maybe it ain’t the world.
