Seattle Seahawks: Opponent Preview – Game 10 Washington Football Team

Bottom Line
There has been lots of frustration and angst from the fans and head coach Pete Carroll. We’ll see if he walks out of this post-game press conference early or not. I can’t remember the last time I saw a head coach leave a press conference early only to return to complete. The whole time he’s not angry or going off on some crazy rant about playoffs.
As previously mentioned, the Seattle Seahawks should feature a game plan of quick throws. This might sound a bit odd since Washington’s best pass rushers are out; Wilson should have more time in the pocket. Conversely, since there will be more time for Wilson to operate, he should have more time to scan the field and make better decisions.
If he features Lockett and Metcalf on slants and quick hitters, this will bring WFT’s safeties closer to the line of scrimmage. Then when Washington adjusts their defense to counter these short throws, Wilson can look to unload one of his deep balls. Since Washington’s run defense is formidable, the Seattle Seahawks should still try to run the ball for no other reason than to keep the defense honest.
Seattle should utilize some draws and screens. Again, Washington’s pass defense is not good, so designing an offensive game plan to exploit this weakness is a strong strategy.
For some predictions, Metcalf and Lockett both have good games on Monday night. Even Gerald Everett has a good performance and finally shows he’s the third reliable pass-catcher Seattle’s offense needs
Happy #ThrowbackThursday!
