FOF8 Seattle Seahawks

[Big T]

Background:

First a little background on the Dynasty. I started with a 2017 draft using RL NFL players. The only Seahawk that I wanted to get was QB Russell Wilson, only to lose him after we could not resign him after 2 years. I played out 3 seasons to get some history and further player movement which brings me to the 2020 NFL season. The plan is to of course act as the GM and as well I will play the role of OC game planning the 1st down plays. So forgive me if this is slow moving.

Seattle Seahawks history6307

6303

The Seahawks have yet to have a winning season and being ranked 30th of 32 teams in the 2020 Power Rankings does not bode well for this season. Of the 32 teams in the NFL, the Seahawks are among 5 teams leading the NFL with 20 players acquired through the Rookie Draft and have the least players with 18 that were signed through Free Agency, so basically a very patient approach. The Seahawks are also the youngest team in the NFL with an average age of 25.8.

Current 1st round and 2nd round picks for the Seahawks

2018 1st round WR Al Keith (26 games)
2018 2nd round RDE Jay Morris (29 games)
2019 1st round RB Isaiah Hemond (16 games)
2019 2nd round TE Spencer Fitch (16 games)
2020 1st round QB Kenyon Cunningham (rookie)
2020 2nd round FS Jackson Farrens (rookie)

The Seahawks were most concerned in the off-season of shoring up the defense. Below is a summary and ranking of the Seahawk Defense in 2020.

6304

Primarily we are looking to improve in the CB and S positions.

Offensively in 2019 we looked like this.

6305

So based on 2019 Stats we can see why The Seahawks are ranked 30th in the 2020 Power Rankings.

Next up. Lets look at the 2020 Seattle Seahawks projected starters and injury list.

September 27th, 2020
6331

The Seahawks land in Detroit, Michigan to face the Detroit Lions. The Lions are favoured by 3 points in this game.

The Lions starting QB is Christian Hackenberg. The 25 year old is in his 4th season with the Lions, He only became the starter in 2019 when he played all 16 games. Last year Hackenberg threw for 3812 yards, 25 TDs and had 19 INTs. In 2 games this year he is 49-74 for 464 yards and 2 TDs with 3 INTs. Marlon Mack will start at RB, the 24 year old has 90 yards in 16 carries this season to go along with a TD. Last year he carried 158 times for 612 yards and 3 TDs. He spent 2017 and 2018 with the Browns before becoming a Lion in 2019. WR Sammy Watkins has 9 catches for 82 yards so far this season, he is still looking for his 1st 2020 TD though. Watkins had 111 catches in 2017 and 100 in 2018 but was held to just 53 last year due to 2 knee injuries and a shoulder injury.

Guys to watch defensively, RDE Olivier Vernon leads the way. But injury has slowed down the 1st overall pick in the 2017 Disbursal Draft by Detroit when the league was formed. Vernon did not play at all in 2019 due to a very serious knee injury. This year in 2 games he has 10 tackles, 0.5 sacks and 0 INTs. LCB Trae Waynes is a reason why the Lions do not give many yards passing so far this year. The 28 year old has 14 tackles, 0 sacks and 0 INTs so far this year. SILB Ashton Matlosz was undrafted and signed as a FA with the Lions for the 2018 season. Last year he had 57 tackles, 4.5 sacks and 0 INTs.

On 2nd and 8, QB Andrew Luck connects with TE Spencer Fitch for a 16 yard gain to the SEA 38. After a penalty put Seattle into 2nd and 17, RB Aaron Jones ran around LE for 10 yards setting up a manageable 3rd down play.

Seattle Seahawks AT Houston Texans

Neither team could muster much offense on thier 1st possessions. Seattle started their second drive of the game at the SEA 16. On 2nd and 11, QB Andrew Luck had his passed intended for WR Cole Beasley picked off by OLB Eric Kendricks at the SEA 23 and returned to the SEA 20. SEA 0 HOU 0 1Q 9:33

Houston's backup QB Brad Kaaya comes out for this drive as Russel Wilson was hurt when he was sacked on the Texans 1st drive. The Texans can't take full advantage of the Luck interception and settle for a 35 yard K Parker Rogers FG try.....its good HOU 3 SEA 0 1Q 7:34

After the Texans KO, the Seattle Seahawks scrimmage 1st and 10 from the SEA 25. On 3rd and 10, QB Andrew Luck passes complete to WR Al Keith for 21 yards to the SEA 46. A little later facing 2nd and 11 at the HOU 44, RB Isaiah Hemond ran inside the left guard for 14 yards to the HOU 30 after a nice block by C Nick Martin. The Hawks do get 1 more first down but the drive stalls at the HOU 20. K Chandler Catanzaro will attempt a 34 yard FG, the kick is good. SEA 3 HOU 3 1Q 0:20

After the touchback, the Texans start with the ball at the HOU 25. On the 2nd play of the drive, QB Brad Kaaya hands off to RB Mike Sutkin and he goes off right tackle, finds a huge opening and scampers for the 74 yard TD run. K Parker Rogers PAT is good. HOU 10 SEA 3 2Q 14:42

Seattle starts the drive with the ball at the SEA 28. On 2nd and 7, its RB Aaron Jones turn to be off to the races, Jones goes inside the RG for 41 yards on a key run block by C Nick Martin to the HOU 28. The drive is stalled again, this time due to a WR Al Keith illegal shift penalty. K Catanzaro will try from 43 yards, he is good. HOU 10 SEA 6 2Q 11:06

The Seahawks are pinned back to the shadows of their goal posts with a punt that stopped at the SEA 2. On the first play, QB Andrew Luck's screen pass to RB Isaiah Hemond falls complete but T Jason Spriggs was called for Holding so the Texans are awarded a Safety. HOU 12 SEA 6 2Q 8:12

After the safety, the Texans will start 1st and 10 at the HOU 36. On 2nd and 7, QB Brad Kaaya completes a 10 yard pass to WR Corey Coleman to the HOU 49. On the next play, RB Mike Sutkin ran around LE for 26 yards to the SEA 25. Houston cannot convert on 3rd and 4 and K Parker Rogers will try a 36 yard FG. The kick is good. HOU 15 SEA 6 2Q 4:53

The Seahawk offense is unable to get a drive going and Houston will get the ball back at the HOU 31. QB Brad Kaaya kept the ball and runs outside for a 2 yard loss, he fumbles the ball and Seahawks CB Tre'Davious White recovers and returns it 14 yards to the HOU 15. HOU 15 SEA 6 2Q 2:39

On 2nd and 6, QB Andrew Luck completes the screen pass to FB William Hartwig and he rumbles for 11 yards and the TD. K Chandler Catanzaro is good on the PAT. HOU 15 SEA 13 2Q 2:13

Houston gets the ball with exactly 2:00 remaining at the HOU 29. Houston seems to move the ball with ease as they get a 16 yard reverse by WR Corey Coleman, a 15 yard pass from Kaaya to TE Dwayne Allen. A 17 yard pass from Kaaya to TE Hunter Henry and then a 11 yard keep by QB Brad Kaaya. A Ineligible Reciever Downfield Penalty and a 11 yard Sack by DE Ezekiel McDonald force a 40 yard FG attempt, Parker Rogers is good. HOU 18 SEA 13 2Q 0:03

End of Half

6605

Houston starts the 2nd half much like they ended the first half, with very little resistance by the Seattle Defense. Starting the drive at the HOU 19, Houston gets a 19 yard pass from QB Brad Kaaya to WR Corey Coleman, a 14 yard pass from Kaaya to TE Hunter Henry, a 19 yard run by RB Mike Sutkin, a 3rd and 8 play action pass from Kaaya to WR Corey Coleman for 16 yards and cap the drive off with a 7 yard TD run by RB Mike Sutkin. Rogers is good for the PAT. HOU 25 SEA 13 3Q 10:15

After a quick 3 and punt by the Seahawks, the Texans get the ball at the HOU 47 to start their drive. After 7 plays and 3 first downs, the Texans set up 2nd and 6 from the SEA 13. QB Brad Kaaya completes a 13 yard TD pass to TE Hunter Henry for the only play over 10 yards in the drive. K Rogers splits the uprights for the PAT and the rout is on. HOU 32 SEA 13 3Q 3:59

Seattle did manage a couple of first downs on their ensuing drive but a T Jason Spriggs Holding penalty wiped out a 30 yard pass from QB Andrew Luck to WR Al Keith. So Seattle had to punt. Houston starts at the HOU 20 and slip through the Seattle defense like butter. A 22 yard run by RB Mike Sutkin, a 22 yard pass from QB Kaaya to TE Hunter Henry, another big run by RB Mike Sutkin for 18 yards and finally a 15 yard pass to WR Corey Coleman for the TD. K Rogers is good on the PAT. HOU 39 SEA 13 4Q 11:33

Thats it for QB Andrew Luck, in comes QB Kenyon Cunningham. Seattle gets 3 first downs on the possession. 1 via a 13 yard pass from Cunningham to WR Beasley, 1 via a penalty and 1 via a 11 yard run and scramble by the fleet footed QB Cunningham. The Hawks fail to convert on a 4th and 9 gamble and Houston takes over at the HOU 39. HOU 39 SEA 13 4Q 7:58

To rub salt in the wounds, the Texans go to their 3rd string QB Geronimo Allison. Mercifully the two teams simply run out the clock to end the scoring.

Seattle started the game with the ball at the SEA 27 and had a great start. RB Aaron Jones ran for 18 yards behind Graham Glasgow on the 1st play from scrimmage to the SEA 45. On the 2nd play, QB Andrew Luck used Play Action to complete a long pass for 27 yards to TE Jeff Heuerman for 27 yards to the PHI 28. On the 3rd play, QB Luck hooks up with WR Al Keith for 18 yards, but a penalty to TE Spencer Fitch gets the gain called back. Now facing 1st and 20, the Seahawks cannot convert for a 1st down even though QB Luck completes another play action pass to RB Aaron Jones to the PHI 27. K Chandler Catanzaro attempts a 44 yard FG, and it falls short as the Seahawks come up empty. SEA 0 PHI 0 1Q 11:44

San Francisco 49ers at Seattle Seahawks.

The Seahawks opened the game with the first drive, but it was a quick 3 and punt where the 49ers started with the ball at the SF 20. The 49er's converted a 2nd and 6 to the SF 33. Converted a 2nd and 8 with a 10 yard QB Marcus Mariota scramble to the SF 45. The got a 10 yard pass to TE Kris Preece from QB Mariota on 3rd and 7 to the SEA 42. Converted another 3rd down and this time 5 to the SEA 29. Took advantage of a OLB Lavonte David Face Mask Penalty to the SEA 13 then on 2nd and 7, QB Mariota scrambled for 10 yards for the TD. K Giorgio Tavecchio makes the PAT. SF 7 SEA 0 1Q 6:59

The Seahawks do get 1 first down on thier next drive but have to punt the ball back to the 49ers. QB Marcus Mariota will start his drive at the SF 30. After a first down to the SF 42, QB Mariota hooks up with WR Kenny Stills on back to back plays. One for 24 yards and another for 19 yards to the SEA 15. Another first down due to penalty gets them to the SEA 10. Now facing 2nd and goal from the SEA 1, QB Mariota finds WR Stills again for the 1 yard TD. The Seahawks are proving why the are rated last in the NFL. K Tavecchio is good on the PAT. SF 14 SEA 0 1Q 0:00

The Seahawks get the ball back needing to get back into the game. QB Andrew Luck will start the drive at the SEA 25. Facing 3rd and 15, Andrew Luck completes a 21 yard pass to TE Jeff Heuerman to the SEA 41. On 2 and 4, RB Aaron Jones follows in behind G Frankie Ellison for 8 yards to the SF 45. On 3rd and 10, QB Luck scramble for 4 yards and fumbles, Seattle WR Laquon Treadwell recovers it and runs 6 more yards for the 1st down to the SF 35. On 2nd and 5, RB Jones runs for 6 yards in behind Lamar Weber to the SF 24. A couple plays later RB Isaiah Hemond runs 10 yards with a good block by Graham Glasgow to the SF 14. After a Sack, QB Luck completes a pass to TE Sergio Evans for his 1st career catch. Its good for 10 yards and sets up 3rd and 5 from the SF 9... QB Lucks play action pass falls incomplete intended for RB Aaron Jones. Seattle will have to settle for a FG try. K Chandler Catanzaro trys from 26 yards out....its good. SF 14 SEA 3 2Q 8:06

The 49ers will start with the ball at the SF 16. Lets see if the Seattle defense can get a stop as the 49ers are 2 for 2 on TD drives so far in the game. The 49ers convert a 3rd and 7 with a 12 yard pass from QB Marcus Mariota to TE Tyler Higbee to the SF 31. Two plays later they convert on 2nd and 1. QB Mariota hooks up with WR Kenny Stills again, this time for 16 yards to the SEA 41. A couple of good defensive plays put the 49ers in 3rd and 15. QB Marcus Mariota looks deep and finds WR Robert Woods at the SEA 9 and he waltzes into the end zone for the 46 yard TD pass. K Tavecchio is good on the PAT and I can only assume the 12th man is booing their team off the field as they prepare for the KO. SF 21 SEA 3 2Q 4:17

Luckily for the Seattle defense, the 49ers run out of time to go 4 for 4 on their TD drives. SF 21 SEA 3 End of First Half
6644

The Seahawks finally stop the 49ers and force them to punt from the SEA 39 and get a touchback. The Seahawks will start the 2nd half with QB Kenyon Cunningham behind center. They get a couple of first downs then Seattle punter Ronnie Farley pins the 49ers at the SF 5. The Seahawks do a great job getting 3 straight incompletions, but a penalty gives the 49ers a first down at the SF 10. The 49ers do not get a first down and the Seahawks should get good field position.... and they do at the SF 48 SF 21 SEA 3 3Q 5:56

The Seahawks get a big first play when RB Aaron Jones runs for 23 yards on a good block by G Frankie Ellison, but its called back due to a C Nick Martin holding penalty. The Seahawks get stymied from there and punt for a touchback. SF 21 SEA 3 3Q 4:16

Seattle's offense cannot get untracked and the 49er's offense just continues to move the ball at will. QB Marcus Mariota hits RB Christian McCaffrey with a 6 yard TD pass. With the PAT its now a blowout. SF 28 SEA 3 4Q 12:45

Seattle does get a score, after a 56 yard pass play from QB Kenyon Cunningham to WR Cole Beasley, WR Laquon Treadwell caps the 75 yard drive with a 4 yard TD pass from QB Cunningham. His 1st NFL TD pass. The PAT is good. SF 28 SEA 10 4Q 10:33

The 49ers add a 47 yard K Giorgio Tavecchio FG after the Seahawks turn the ball over on downs at the SEA 38. SF 31 SEA 10 4Q 5:19

In the final 3 minutes of the game, QB Kenyon Cunningham had 2 fumbles, 1 of which the 49ers recovered and 1 INT. Game over

Another loss, this time to a team that hopefully we could beat. This is the first time I thought I may have a 0-16 team, but the realm of possibility is certainly there.

The Seahawks expect MLB Corwin Fisher to make an immediate impact to the defense once he can knock off some rust. In 2020 limited to 13 games, he had 77 tackles, and in 2019 in 16 games he had 110 tackles.

Seattle goes on the road to face the Arizona Cardinals in a desperate need of a win.

Around the Seattle Seahawks.......

The Seahawks lose a close one. The injuries to the secondary in CB Boyer and WLB Fackrell really hurt our passing defense. On the positive note, it appears that QB Kenyon Cunningham could develop into a starter. I know the Seattle media wants Cunningham in, but its still Lucks team for a little time longer.

The only new injury this week was FS Jackson Farrens, but the trainers say the injury is mild and not likely to re-injure. He will stay in the line-up.

The Bears are good at defending the running game, but you could take advantage of the passing game a little, especially with short passing. Neither passing or running is a strength offensively for the Seahawks, but if they do pass the short and medium games are at least average..
6719
6720

The Bears are favoured by 7 points.

Chicago Bears at Seattle Seahawks.

The Seahawks start with the ball at the SEA 17 after the opening kickoff. QB Andrew Luck completes a pass to WR Tyler Boyd for 18 yards on 3rd and 2 to the SEA 43 to get the offense going. A little later after another first down, QB Luck connects with WR Boyd again on a medium pass that goes for 21 yards to the CHI 23.

CHI 14 SEA 3 End of first half.
6721

Neither team could get much going on their first two possessions of the second half, but the field position continued to improve for Chicago. After a Seattle punt and Chicago punt return of 10 yards, the Bears will start a drive at the SEA 48. On the first play, QB Deshaun Watson completes a 14 yard pass to TE O J Howard, who gained 8 yards after the catch to the SEA 34. After converting a 3rd and 1 to the SEA 21, and another 3rd and 1 to the SEA 4, the Bears were facing 3rd and goal from the SEA 2. QB Watson completes a 2 yard TD pass to WR Vincent Floyd. K Butker's PAT is good. CHI 21 SEA 3 3Q 4:40

The Los Angeles Rams (6-3) will face the Seattle Seahawks (0-9) in Seattle today. The Hawks continue to look for their 1st win of the season. Hoping the Offense and Defense can put together a good effort.

The Rams are led by:

QB Derek Carr, the 30 year old is 206-291 for 2148 yards with 18 TDs and 3 INTs in 9 games this year. Carr is passing with a 108.1 rating this season.

RB Clifton Nabonsa, the 25 year old is leading the Rams in rushing with 498 yards on 109 carries. Nabonsa has 6 TDs so far this year as well.

TE David Njoku leads the receivers with 577 yards on 59 catches for 4 TDs in 8 games. Njoku had 73 catches in 2020.

MLB Craig Robertson leads the Rams with 78 tackles. The 33 year old also has 15 assists, and 1.0 Sacks in 9 games.

LDT DeAndre Duran leads the Rams with 3.5 Sacks. The 27 year old also has 48 tackles and 13 assists in 9 games.

CB Janoris Jenkins leads the Rams with 2 INTs. The 33 year old also has 49 tackles and 18 assists in 9 games.

Defensively, the Rams give up yards and can be beaten by stretching the field a little with more long and medium passes. The Hawks prefer a short to medium passing game with very little success this year with the longer passes. May not see Seattle run too much today.

The Rams are favoured by 10.

Los Angeles Rams at Seattle Seahawks

After each team had 3 possessions each without a first down.
