I don't know why they can't stop the run all the sudden, the only thing I can blame is the poor tackling in the secondary. Battle needs to be starting over that scrub from the Rams I know that much.
The offensive line will face a huge task slowing down Seattle this week, and they have 2 elite corners to slow down Jamar Chase. We still don't know if Tee Higgings will be playing either.
The Bengals looked much better. Burrow looked much better, able to move around, he was shifty in the pocket, making some plays open up and making some runs even. The run game is still lacking, but they need to keep the commitment to the run to keep the defense honest. They finally used the play action to open up the play book and throw the ball down the field like I have been begging for all season.
Hopefully they match up well with Seattle but I just don't know about this game.
3-3 at the bye right now seems like a blessing and I don't know if they can do it. I hope so.
Who Dey
The Seahawks are 3-1 for a reason, but they haven't played a QB like what we saw play against the Cardinals or a WR like what Chase is
right now. Our Defense expected more pass once we were up big and that big run by Moore was a great misdirection play in desperation.
I think it will be a tough game against a vet QB in Geno Smith and some good RB's that Seattle has. DK Metcalf might get some big plays
but I expect us to hit him good with our Safeties and CTB and frustrate him. I think we can pull this one out if Burrow is getting better in
health and his mind like he is showing. We also know now that we have a good backup WR/PR in Velveeta which is awesome and gives
Defenses another thing to think about if Tee cannot go.
As far as elite Corners go, I haven't seen it with Seattle. They have the names, but they have played against running teams for the most
part and are one of the worst teams against the pass. We will see against a passing Offense with a recovering Burrow at the helm.
