Our team is currently 5th in the NFL in rush yards allowed. I'm not too worried about great running backs, as we seem to be pretty solid up front.
As for Tight Ends, we held Marcel Reece, a FB/TE/HB hybrid to 26 yards on 3 receptions (granted 2 TD) all in garbage time, Ladarius Green to 5 receptions and 47 yards, and Crockett Gilmore and Maxx Williams to a combined 6 for 84 yards.
None of them are elite tight ends by any means, but they have all caused problems for other teams either this year or in the recent past.
I think the players we truly struggle with are the ones who can stop on a dime. We saw that with Danny Woodhead, Melvin Gordon and Steve Smith.
I think Lockett will give us some trouble against Seattle and I think Jamaal Charles will be trouble as a receiver.
The tight end problem seems to have improved quite a bit so far this year.
