Stud of the Week – Seahawks Safeties
We could have included Seattle’s cornerbacks in the Duds, but their safeties stepped up to make a huge difference. Jamal Adams, Quandre Diggs, Marquise Blair, and Ryan Neal all had good games. Whether it was coming up to stop a run from going for big yards, pass coverage, or reading the quarterback, a Seahawks safety was almost always in the camera shot.
Jamal Adams had one of his most complete games since coming to the Emerald City. Some might look at the stat sheet, see he made six tackles, and think Adams wasn’t very involved. They’d be wrong. The Prez made his presence known and helped take away the middle.
Diggs had a key first quarter pick which stopped the Niners from gaining momentum after Seattle’s offense stalled on their second drive. He also made some big hits. The duo teamed with MLB Bobby Wagner to keep Niners All-Pro tight end George Kittle in check.
Blair did a good job covering the slot and disguising coverages. That was important when the 49ers had to go with inexperienced quarterback Trey Lance after Garoppolo left the game with an injury. It was also good to see Neal take regular snaps after sitting out much of the first three games.
