What should we expect from the Hawks the next few games?
The fact that the Seahawks are 3-2 says a lot about this team. Most teams that have issues with the O line such as the Hawks have had would be like 1-4 .
I'm not expecting the Hawks to overcome the O line issues soon to become an elite O. Maybe 2 the next 2 games maybe even 3 or 4 games. Hopefully Lucas will comeback soon. Even when he comes back it's going to take a couple of games to get some rhythm back and then to get some continuity going which will open that play book up.
The 3 issues they seem to be having trouble with.
1. Red zone
2. 3rd down efficiency
3. Offensive penalties
IMO all 3 of these issues are because of the O line injury issues, and Metcalf.
I think the Hawks can still win, but I don't think they will be elite until they get the O line healthy and playing well together.
I keep waiting for Waldron to take advantage of the height advantage of Parkinson and Fant in the red zone. I'm not quite sure why he is not. Maybe they are trying to develope other area's. But if there is no time to throw the ball, it seems like a perfect match up in the red zone to throw the ball high and let Parkinson go up and get it. Also I've been waiting for them to get Bobo more involved.
I think it's up to Waldron and Carroll to be creative in game planning and play calling to give Geno a chance to execute the O. I really believe the Hawks need to establish the run game in a big way!
I think it's up to the D to keep growing and keeping games close enough so the offense doesn't have to put up big points to win the game. Inlove the way this D is coming together.
Hopefully the Hawks can get the O line health issues resolved in the next 2 games and then 2 games to dial it in for the elite teams on the schedule. . Hopefully the Hawks don't suffer many injuries to key players.
Next 4 games:
AZ
Clev.
Baltimore.
Washington
I'm hoping the Hawks can go 3-1 during this stretch no worse than 2-2. We should have a good idea of how the Seahawks can compete with elite teams after this stretch.
Then life gets REALLY hard with the rest of the schedule
Rams
49ers
Cowboys
49ers
Eagles
I'm not going to even think about these games yet until it comes around.
This is what is going through my mind
What are your thoughts?
