Anyone else worried about the Rams D?

[dkmightyhammer]

Last year the Rams had an awesome pass rush and were generating sacks like crazy. Quinn had some crazy number like 19 sacks himself. Now this year they have one sack for the entire year in 6 games. ONE!! I worry that those guys are due for a big game and its just our luck that we draw them when the O-line is once again weakened. Unger may not be back and now Okung has the torn labrum. Plus Britt is still a rookie. I hope I'm wrong but I think Russell better bring his fastest pair of shoes because he could be running a lot from a St. Louis team that is going to do whatever it takes to fix their sack issues. Wilson is currently the 12th most sacked QB but that is deceiving because we've played one less game than some of the guys with more sacks, plus RW's ability to escape has probably saved dozens of sacks.

Our O-line needs to get its act together quick or St. Louis could go off on us in a bad way. They are due.

yes, I'm worried about this game. I see something like a 13-10 kinda game and it could easily be the Rams kicking a game winning FG.

I see a long, frustrating game against the rams with our offense sputtering and our defense making austin davis look like a franchise qb.

When do we start to get some of our CB's back? Simon? Maxwell? Lane?

Wagner is listed as 'out' for Sunday's game so that sucks too.

Lane-not eligible to return until Week 10 per Designated IR rules. Should begin practicing next week

Maxwell-not as bad as originally thought. Currently Day to day and could play this week

Simon-has began practicing and looks like he will play this week. However he has never played a down in the NFL and coming off knee surgery so I'd rather ease him in.

Not having Unger is a killer. He makes the calls at the line of scrimmage, so when Okung gets a false start, that can be tied to the center calls some of the time. The Rams may be due but our offense is also due. They haven't looked in sync most of the year.

With Quinn lining up against an injured Okung I'm gonna put the over/under on his false starts at 3.5 for this game.

I hope you're right about our O being due. I'd like to finally see Percy Harvin be Percy Harvin.

 

[SeattleCoug]

I would just like Harvin to be on the field on the big plays of the game. Like in the 4th quarter, on 3rd down etc. If that means he takes less kick off returns then so be it. You cant him only on the field 60% of the time or whatever it is. Just get back to pounding the rock and use play action to take advantage of a secondary that's poor.

 

[flyerhawk]

I'm worried given how pedestrian our offense has been the past couple of weeks.

 

[TEB11]

Trust me, you have nothing to worry about.

'Hawks- 33
Lambs- 13

 

[Wolvie]

After last Hawk I see the Hawks looking to make a statement this week. Lets also not forget that the Rams have a short week as they played just played Monday night.

 

[gowazzu02]

Everything I see tells me we shouldn't worry. The Rams haven't held ANYONE to UNDER 30 all year......... They have ONE sack......

Yet the other half of me says getting the hawks oline is just what the doctor ordered to get them back on track.

this game scares the hell out of me.

It was last year, vs us on MNF that Zac Stacy became a house hold name, due in large part to BWags playing injured....

Our D cannot afford anymore injuries.

 

[Gooch1034]

From what I saw of the Rams defense last week is you may not want to run right up the middle. They did a good job of clogging things up. Hyde on the goalline looked like he was that Zombie at the end of I Am Legend running into the glass.

 

[boogiewithstu2007]

I"m worried about our offense and how we approach this one... This is a big game early in the season because going 3-3 right now instead of 4-2 is a big deal ... We need this one and right now were out of sync and injuries are piling up... I have a gut feeling Russ is gonna bring his A game though... Can our offensive line protect though ? Rams do have a good pass rush...

 

[MrS]

Doesn't matter what Wilson does if idiot bevell can't call the right plays with the right players on the field.

If we see any passes behind the Lin of scrimmage on our opening drive, all is lost.

 

[HaroldSeattle]

I expect a low scoring game and the Seahawks to win in a fairly close game. As long as the Seahawks win, good enough for me, because right now it's about surviving the down cycle, where your waiting for injuries to heal and players to start playing well.

 

[Destroydacre]

Yeah a little bit. This game will be very telling as to where the Seahawks truly are right now. Just like last year, getting out of the Edward Jones Dome with any kind of win is fine with me, no matter how ugly it might be.

 

[SonnyCID]

Not really. I know the Rams usually play the Hawks close, but there's a lot of situational factors that make me feel like the Hawks win comfortably.

 

[seattlefan75]

the rams ALWAYS give the hawks a hard time it is so frustrating thankfully chris long isnt playing this weekend

I always like your take on games, so I would like you to expand on the situational factors.
