Game Thread: Seahawks vs Lions Week 2

[JMR]

he should be fine running NFL routes, so why arent they letting him do it? hes not deebo he isnt going to get the YAC that he does on those short passes. just doesnt make sense to me.

Could be matchups (week 1 offense was vastly different than week 2). Could be lack of reps (1st team O barely played in pre-season). Could be injuries (2 starting OTs out in week 2, center lost in-game). Could be spacing management with him being WR3 and sharing the targets with 2 established deep route veterans. Could be a lot of things. Could also be that they are walking him into the role since he's just a rookie with a whole 2 games played *and* missed some pre-season time with an injury. Puka Nacua is making a splash but also has one of the lowest ypc of any WR in the top 30 to this point, so his stuff is mostly shorter routes as well. 2 games, man. 2 games.

From listening to Pete on Monday with B&S, it sounded like Adams will be full go at practice this week but maybe more likely to see first action in week 4. It wasn't definitive, but that's what it seemed Pete was saying.

And about that week 4 game (MNF @ Giants), it looks like we will not have to face Saquon Barkley. He's been ruled out for tonight's game, and Shefter is reporting he's likely to miss 3 weeks.

May not have to face Burrow the following week, either.

How many total plays did our offense run in the 2nd half of the opener against the Rams?

Answer: 12... Not many...

Good, you going to pay the Hawks back? Lets see you missed the last 5 games of the 2021 season, Played what 4 snaps of the 2022 season then missed basiclly all 17 games and now you have missed 2 games in the 2023 season. So since December 5th 2021 till September 23 of 2023 he has played a whole .. 4 snaps in a possible 24 games over 3 different seasons? I hope the Hawks kept the receipts also and ask for a refund.

I hope he plays good when he returns... Don't you? Is that what the ultimate end game is right now?

Jake browning is their backup?

That would be a huge plus, though it may not be as big of a deal with how lousy Cincy has looked so far.

100% i want him to play good. I want him to have the best damn game of his life and then next week one up that and so on and so on because we absolutely have not got anywhere close to the value of capital we put up and the money value for his cupcake ass. He would need 4+ sacks 4+ ints 80 tackles 13 Passes defensed per year for the next 6 years in my eyes to equal what we gave up. But he only has 3 more years with us so lets see... 7+ Int's 6+ sacks 95+ tackles 18+ Passes defensed average for the next 3 years. If and only if he did that would i not have a sour taste in my mouth. He has not seen significant playing time since November of 2021! It's almost October 2023!
