Seattle Seahawks Dud and Stud of Game 12 vs. L.A. Rams
A last-minute touchdown put the Seattle Seahawks ahead for good in a 27-23 win over the Rams in Los Angeles. Here are our Dud and Stud of the game.
Second Dishonorable Mention: Seahawks Run Game
The first Dishonorable Mention goes to the Seattle Seahawks run game. They could not get anything going on the ground, and their running backs started dropping like flies due to injury.
Travis Homer was out before the game even started with a knee injury and illness. Kenneth Walker III suffered an ankle strain in the first half, and DeeJay Dallas even missed some playing time due to a sprained ankle injury.
This brought them to their fourth-stringer, Tony Jones. At one point, Jones lost a contact lens and was legally blind in one eye.
First Dishonorable Mention: Geno’s Ball Security
This week’s first dishonorable mention goes to Geno Smith’s ball security. The Seattle Seahawks quarterback threw an interception and lost a fumble.
Part of this can be blamed on the poor offensive line play. Additionally, his interception resulted from Bobby Wagner ripping the ball out of Tony Jones’s grip.
Smith deserves some of the blame as well. He just made some bad choices in this game.
Dud Of The Week: Offensive Line
Once again, the Seattle Seahawks offensive line is Dud of the Week worthy. With Aaron Donald out for the game, maybe the O-line put it in cruise control early.
They struggled with both run blocking and pass protection. Smith got sacked a total of four times and was hit eight times. False start penalties on Charles Cross, Abe Lucas, and Austin Blythe did not help their case either.
