Seattle Seahawks Blue Friday: Week 2 Roundtable – Titans Talk

Question 2 – Will the Seattle defensive line be able to manhandle the Tennessee line the way Chandler Jones and the Cardinals did?
Ed: The best way to take Jones and Brown out of the mix is to get to Ryan Tannehill. A few Seahawks’ D-linemen had good games against the Colts last week. There is no doubt, Seattle is coming for the Titans’ QB, building on some of the successes they had against Indy.
Chris: On paper yes. They just went up against a much better line in Week 1. At least on paper. Now, Green may not do as well as he’ll be facing a very PO’d and focused Taylor Lewan.
Chip: The Seahawks have to get pressure on Ryan Tannehill. If Carlos Dunlap, L.J. Collier, and Darrell Taylor can’t get in his face, it might be a long day. Also, Seattle still has to defend against running back Derrick Henry. It’s up to Poona Ford, Rasheem Green, and Bryan Mone to get a good push from their defensive tackle positions. I’d love to see Seattle stuff Henry the way they did against Jonathan Taylor last week.
Andrew: The Seattle Seahawks should be able to generate some pressure on Tannehill and keep Henry in check for the most part. Unfortunately, they have no one on Chandler Jones or J.J. Watt‘s level as a pass rusher so I wouldn’t hold my breath expecting 6 or more sacks.
First sack of the game goes to Seahawks Edge Rusher Rasheem Green.
