Fair enough, if that's the rules here....
Yes, because that's exactly what I said.

Anywho, Peyton has 5 legit threats on offense, so shutting down D. Thomas and Julius Thomas won't be the only challenges for Seattle on defense.

So. Pete Carroll is like Master Mold for defensive backs. We have guys on our practice squad that can handle your 5 big recieving threats...

Manning could very well be licking his chops because of this... Our 3 WR set screen passes could come into play with Sherman's positioning.

Sherman, Maxwell, Lane and Thurmond, with Thomas and Chancellor..
Sherman isnt the only threat here, he is just the best.
Its a fantastic matchup really. the best against the best. If the Seahawks get any kind of concerted and consistent pressure on Manning he will have to rush throws or the Broncos will have to counter with more runs.
The line may be the deciding factor on that side of the ball.

How many top offenses has Seattle faced?
Little known fact, Denver's offense has played more games against top 10 defenses than the Seahawks' defense has played against top 10 offenses. The only top 10 offense Seattle has played is New Orleans. They are the 10th ranked scoring offense, who also sucks on the road, averaging less than 20 points per road game.
Miile High":hptdo5cj said:LOL @ all the quotes generated from the game manager comment.
Look guys, Wilson is a good QB. He's smart, mature, humble, all that good stuff.
Wilson is 44th in pass attempts per game among all QBs. 44th! Wilson only averages 25 pass atempts per game, one of only 3 full time starting QBs who average less than 30 passes a game.
Look guys, I'm not out to attack Wilson...he's a good guy, and the right QB for that team. But a QB who only throws the ball 25 times a game? Not a whole lot is being asked of him. Russell Wilson is not asked to put the team on his back and lead them to victory the way Rodgers, Brady, Romo, Stafford, etc. are. Those guys all throw it a lot more than Wilson because their defenses are suspect so they have to put up a lot of points to win.
Wilson on the other hand, benefits from having the #1 defense in the NFL, so Seattle's offense doesn't have to score a whole lot of points to win. Let the defense do its thing, feed Marshawn Lynch, and Wilson is asked to make smart, safe throws when he needs to. Seahawks are 2nd in the league with 509 rushing attempts, the only team that ran the ball more was Buffalo. Seattle is a run-first team. Wilson is like a more athletic Alex Smith.
Seattle's offense did manage to put up a lot of points this season, but when your defense leads the entire NFL with 39 turnovers, Seahawks got a ton of extra possessions, often times on a short fields...
The bottom line point I'm trying to make is this: Russell Wilson averages 25 pass attempts a game. That's dead last among starting NFL QBs. That's a game manager. Wilson is a really good young QB, but he isn't asked to go out there and sling it on a weekly basis like many other young QBs are...Luck, RG3, Tannehil, etc. All those guys average 35 or more passes per game, 10 more than Wilson. Wilson's job is to hand it off to Marshawn, and make smart throws when necessary.
Miile High":hptdo5cj said:Again, I come in peace...if that's still on the table at this point LOL.
But with a QB that only averages 25 pass attempts per game (last in the NFL among starting QBs), are you saying that a lot is asked of him? Seattle is dead last in pass attempts per game, and second in the league in running plays. As I said earlier, I was just making a point that Wilson isn't asked to put the team on his back and lead them to victory. he's not asked to sling it 40+ times a game like Stafford, Matt Ryan, Brees, etc. Wilson's primary job is to hand it off to Marshawn Lynch, and when asked to throw, make safe, smart passes, and don't turn it over. Bevell doesn't ask Wilson to go out there and take over a game with his arm.
Wilson walked into a stacked team his rookie year. Top 2 defense, top 3 running back. Not too shabby LOL.
