Seattle Seahawks Week 4 Roundtable: 5 questions about the San Francisco 49ers
Week 4 brings the Seattle Seahawks to Levi’s Stadium to take on the San Francisco 49ers. Our team of experts answers this week’s questions and predicts whether or not the Hawks can break their losing streak.
After last week’s loss, the Seattle Seahawks and their fans are reeling. Some are ready to push the panic button, while others think the team just needs time to jell. Chris Phillips, Chip Clark, Ed Stein, and I break down the big questions for this week’s game.
1. Witchcraft and voodoo notwithstanding, is there any possibility of the Seattle Seahawks corners holding up against San Francisco’s receivers?
Ed: Sure, they can, but it will take the entire defense. The key is getting to 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. The defensive ends and LEO have to get pressure while the interior line plugs any holes. Put Jimmy G. on his butt enough, and they take Deebo Samuel out of the game.
Chris: Yes! There’s always a possibility. I think the better question is will they?
Chip: The corners only saving grace this week is that San Francisco has one great receiver, not two as they faced the past two weeks. Then again, Tre Flowers could turn any opposing receiver into a one-week sensation. D.J. Reed doesn’t appear to be up to the task as the Seahawks shutdown cornerback.
Andrew: The Reed & Flowers pairing makes me long for the Cary Williams experience again. With Brandon Aiyuk‘s hamstring healed and him escaping Kyle Shannahan’s doghouse last week, it seems the 49ers receiving core is back to full strength. With George Kittle involved, there won’t be much safety help. Buckle up, kids; this is gonna get ugly.
Are the Seahawks going to put Jamal Adams on Deebo Samuel? lol
