Defense
On the other side of the ball, the Seattle Seahawks shouldn’t have nearly as difficult of a time. Washington’s offensive production is fairly narrow. Their best playmaker is Terry Mclaurin, who should be bracketed all game by Seattle’s secondary.
WFT has a young promising running back who’s been playing this year with a nasty shin injury. He’s been productive but not nearly as effective as he was last year. This week, the front seven will face a tough challenge in stopping Antonio Gibson and Washington’s running game.
Bobby Wagner leads the league in tackles with 115. He’ll be adding to his league-leading total this week. Hopefully, he won’t be on the field this week as much as he was last week. Washington might be getting one more of its playmakers back this week. Their starting tight end, former quarterback, Logan Thomas might be back this week. He’ll most likely operate in the middle of the field.
If Thomas isn’t back, then they’ll be rolling with their back up tight end, Ricky Seals-Jones. He’s been filling in for Thomas all of this time, and he’s been doing an admirable job. It’s possible that upon Thomas’ return, he could be on a snap count.
Hopefully, Jamal Adams, Wagner, and Jordyn Brooks can do a good job covering up Thomas so he can’t replicate Arizona’s offensive game plan. Washington uses McLaurin a lot to stretch the field and be their deep threat. They also put him in situations to showcase his speed and yards after the catchability. Sidney Jones and Quandre Diggs will need to be aware. Also, having Tre Brown back will be a nice bonus since D.J. Reed will be out this week.
