Seattle Seahawks: 3 takeaways from 38–25 win over Atlanta
Will Dissly, Seattle Seahawks.
3. This is a very good team
Sunday, the Seattle Seahawks looked dominating at times. They pulled the football equivalent of General Sherman. Seattle rode into town and torched Atlanta’s defense for five touchdowns. The offense was able to run the ball effectively enough to take advantage of play-action passes and screens.
When the offensive line, which has three new starters, begins to gel, it will be very scary for opposing defensive coordinators.
Adams brings a completely different dimension to an already solid defense. His ability and enthusiasm are contagious. Even better, he leads by example, going where ever he needs to be to make plays. Everyone on the defense is a better player when he’s on the field. Quarterbacks on the schedule have to lie awake at night wondering how Seattle’s number 33 will come after them.
Even the special teams looked improved. Myers didn’t miss any of his kicks all day and all seven of his kickoffs went for touchbacks. Michael Dickson looked more like his rookie version with a net of 45.8 yards per punt. Finally, the number one kick returner, Travis Homer looked sharp as did punt return man David Moore.
Without preseason games as a baseline, Sunday was a good starting point. The D will get better as the season goes along. As long as they stay healthy, the Seattle Seahawks are one of the premier teams in the NFC.
That is 2️⃣ for Chris Carson 🤩https://t.co/knBTINhbjl
