Game Thread: Week 1, 2015: SeaHawks @ Rams

Not taking anything away from Donald, but did you notice in those photos that Brockers was being doubled? Opposing team have to double someone. In this case it was Brockers.

This must be how their C managed a positive grade; he never faced up against Donald. He must've been doubling on Brockers all day.

Austin scores twice and gets a negative grade? What is this scoring system?

I believe his grade comes only a wide receiver. His TD's came two ways, one as a RB TD, and the other as a ST TD.

I don't think ATH is a graded position.

Time After Time: A Look at Week 1 in the NFL

When St. Louis pieced together its dominant defensive line, this was the sort of game it must have been dreaming about. Wilson has been sacked six or more times in a game on four occasions, and three of those days have come against the Rams. They sacked him six times Sunday, knocking him down a total of nine times, and it’s a miracle those figures aren’t higher. Aaron Donald was, bar none, the most impressive player I saw on any field in Week 1. St. Louis’s front seven appeared to be spending as much time in Seattle’s backfield as Wilson and Marshawn Lynch. It was a dominant performance and one that raises concerns about this Seattle offensive line going forward.

Which clearly is a problem with the grading system. Being able to contribute in multiple facets should be taken into account.

Great play by the Rams leaves the Seahawks perplexed on the play



Notice it's 3rd down and Aaron Donald drops back into coverage to cover Jimmy Graham.

Johnson- Great play on the ball, great catch, great interception!!!
Donald- Is there another DT that can do that? I think not!!!

 

[Retroram52]

Gregg Williams' defense is complex and is designed to confuse the opposition at the point of attack. He has a similar approach to defense that stalwarts of the coaching fraternity such as Bill Walsh and Mike Martz had with the offense.

The pass rush made the play. If Wilson has more time, Graham comes open. The route he was running hadn't cleared the curl route by the slot WR yet.

Pressure was put on Wilson, because the oline not knowing who to block with Donald taking off.

Kinda. Pressure came against the right side of the O-line by the blitzing LB, and Donald was lined up over the left guard. That would've been an awfully big shift to block that blitz.
