Seattle Seahawks Dud and Stud of Game 3 – Atlanta
For the most part, Seattle played a good game. That is up until the final few offensive series. There were some studs.
2nd Honorable Mention
Cornerback Tariq Woolen didn’t have a particularly great game. However, it’s not necessarily what happened; it’s what didn’t happen.
He allowed receptions on 3 of 5 targets for 52 yards. But what gets lost in those numbers is that Mariota threw at the Seahawks fifth round rookie corner only 5 times. Woolen is starting to feel like a potential lockdown corner.
1st Honorable Mention
Sunday’s game was a throwback to 2020. Well, at least for Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers.
Last year watching Myers kick was like watching a tv medical series when they show compound fractures. In other words dicey and hard to look at.
Myers was money this week, just like he was for the Seattle Seahawks two years ago. While none of his field goals were particularly long, the kicker went 3 for 3. He converted both extra point opportunities.
One last thing that sometimes gets overlooked. Myers kicked off six times, and none of them were returned. Atlanta had to start each post-Seahawks scoring drive from the 25-yard line.

Stud of the Week
If Atlanta’s defense had to pay attention to D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, someone else on the Seahawks had to be open. Many times it was their tight ends.
While no individual piled up huge stats, Will Dissly, Colby Parkinson, and Noah Fant as a group was very productive.
- Dissly – 3 targets, 3 receptions, 34 yards, and an 18-yard touchdown reception.
- Parkinson – 2 targets, 2 receptions, 44 yards, including a 36-yard rumble.
- Fant – 4 targets, 4 receptions, 27 yards.
That’s a combined stat line of 9 for 9 on targets for 105 yards and a touchdown. Any non-George Kittle or Kelsey team in the NFL will gladly take that kind of production from their tight ends.
