The Kushagra Mishra Review : Weekly round up!

WEEKLY ROUND UP! (Everything that Happened this week)

The Seahawks improve to a 2-0 record after Sunday nights thrilling win over Patriots. This week they play Dak Prescot and the Cowboys (1-1). This week’s addition of Hawks Weekly Round Up gives insight on Damon Harrison's planned Visit to Seattle, Week 3 predictions, and rookie starters versus Dallas.

v Damon “Snacks” Harrison to Visit Seattle

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Harrison wants to play this year after considering retiring last year. The 31-year-old was once NFL’s top defensive tackles (DT). Despite not being at the top of his game last year, he was still productive. At 350lbs and 6 foot 4 the veteran DT had over 45 tackles and 2 sacks. With the 2 games we saw from the Seahawks, they got better at stopping the run. You saw how New England could not get any momentum with their running backs and Cam Newton had to do most of the running himself. You might still be concerned about the pass rush, but Its only been 2 weeks and I think you will see more production from the front 4 as the year progresses. Harrison is still a powerful run stuffer and adding a talent like him to a good run stopping unit would never hurt. Also, behind the 2 starters – Jarran Reed and Puna Ford, there is not a lot of depth. There are guys with potential behind those 2, but Harrison would be a great rotational talent.   

v Week 3 NFL Predictions (Top 3 close games)  

Packers (2-0) @ Saints (1-1), Mercerize Benz super-dome 5:20pm (PST)

Packers Over Saints by 10 points 

The Packers looked Phenomenal last 2 weeks and after seeing the saints loose vs. the Raiders, I started to question Drew Brees’s talent. With their top wide receiver – Michael Thomas questionable, and the Packers excellent coverage and run stopping ability, I could see them wining a close one. And Packer’s QB - Arron Rogers, may still be one of NFL’s best.  

Rams (2-0) @ Bills (2-0), Bills Stadium 10:00am (PST)

Rams Over Bills by 4 points

Man, this is a close one. Bills QB – Josh Allen showing a lot of promise but is his throwing ability better than Jalen Ramsey’s tight coverage, or can he beat the pass rush of Arron Donald? Bills are the favorites to win their division, but this may be the comeback year for Goff and the Rams since they lost to the Patriots in the Super Bowl. That Rams’s team looks scary going 2-0, I can see them winning in another close one.

Cowboys (1-1) @ Seahawks (2-0), Century Link Field 1:25pm (PST)  

Seahawks Over Cowboys by 8 points

A great match up, Dak vs. Russ. Both teams are infected with the “injury bug” but the Cowboys may be as injured as the 49ers. Their secondary is week with injuries to starting cornerbacks and

Linebackers. Wilson will “Cook” something great against the cowboys just like he did with the Falcons with DK and Tyler as his secret ingredients. Hopefully with Quandre Diggs will be back, it should sure up the middle of the field for the Hawks. And the Seahawks should be able to hold Elliot from not having an explosive game, and Seahawks should win in a high scoring game.  

v Jordan Brooks To start at Linebacker (LB) vs Dallas?

Yes, After the ACL Injury to LB/DE Bruce Irvin Pete Carol announced that Brooks will have the start vs. Dallas. The 1^st round pick out of Texas Tech is a speedy and a sure tackler. He will get a chance to display his speed this Sunday against the Cowboys. But There still is one question, Irvin Played Defensive end (DE) on nickel and running downs, will We occasionally see Jordan Brooks as a DE? He is fast enough to speed rush those offensive linemen. And he can hold the edge to. So, will we see him as a DE on nickel plays? I guess we’ll have to wait until Sunday to know.

 

 

 

4 Bold Seahawks predictions against Patriots game

 The Seahawks (1-0) play the patriots (1-0) this Sunday at Seattle for week 2 on Sunday night football. The Seahawks have a revamped secondary to take on the Patriots new offence with Cam Newton. So Here are my 4 bold predictions for the Seahawks.   

1. Seahawks will not throw more than 35 times   

We all loved Russel “cook” the falcons in week one, but I don’t see them throwing it more than 35 times this week. The Patriots have a great secondary with Stephon Gilmore and others. Locket and Metcalf will be tightly covered. Throwing it more than 35 times will be hard. The Patriots have a great secondary. What you might see more of is 2 tight end sets and play action passes. 2 tight end sets keep the defense off balance because they can’t tell if it’s a run or a pass. The Seahawks will set up the run first. And if the running attack gets going, they will occasionally use the run game to set up play action passes. That is when you might see the go routs or deep seam routs.  

2.  You will love the Tight ends even more.  

If there one weakness on the Patriots, it’s the linebacker core. We know that the Seahawks will use more 2 tight ends. The 2 starting tight ends being Greg Olsen and Will Dissly. Greg Olsen is a great player and still has talent at age 35. Will Dissly on the other hand, has bean injured most of his career, when on the field he showed great promise. After loosing many top linebackers to free agency or Covid opt outs, like Dont`a Hightower, covering the Seahawks tight ends will be hard. Having 2 tight end sets will most likely change the Patriots defense because they might replace on of their cornerbacks with a safety. Therefore, the Patriots would have 2 cornerbacks matched up with 2 Seahawks receivers, leaving the Olsen and Dissly free to match up with their not so good linebackers. I predict that the Olsen and Dissly combined will have +100 yard.  

3. Another great game for Adams & Wagner   

Why I think Adams and Wagner will have a good game, well, mostly because of the running style of the patriots. I predict that that the Seahawks will use Adams and Wagner to spy on Newton. Both will alternate roles of spying on him. This way Newton will not know who is spying on him. On the RPO’s (Run pass option) one of them, either Wagner or Adams will play the run and the other one will spy on Newton making sure he dose run with the ball. Adams ad Wagner are both Pro bowl players so I expect both Wagner and Adams will defend their run and QB keep run plays really well. Wagner and Adams will have great game statistically   

4. Seahawks will win by +5 points   

Why:   

1. Russel Wilson is Better than Cam Newton 

2. Seahawks Linebackers are better than the Patriots  

3. Seahawks receivers/ tight ends are better than Patriots
