| The Seattle Seahawks did not have the offensive performance they were hoping for in the first half against the Denver Broncos Cheap Customized Seattle Seahawks Jerseys , especially if you take out the production by rookie tight end Will Dissly.Dissly, expected to be the number two tight end behind Nick Vannett while starter Ed Dickson is sidelined, instead looks like one of Seattle’s best weapons overall — and he was only thought to be on the team for his blocking prowess. Targeted four times by Russell Wilson in the first half (most on the team), Dissly has three catches for 105 yards. It only took two catches for Dissly to have a higher yardage output than Jimmy Graham had in any game last season.Graham’s last game of at least 105 yards was Week 4 of 2016, when he had 113 against the New York Jets.Unfortunately, many of the Seahawks other than Dissly have struggled as Seattle trails 17-10 at halftime. Tyler Lockett has caught one of two targets for two yards. Doug Baldwin has caught zero of one target. David Moore and Brandon Marshall are also zero-for-one, with Marshall drawing an OPI in the end zone on what would have been a touchdown.Rashaad Penny has caught three of three for 20 yards. Chris Carson has three carries for 36 yards, two catches for 23 yards, and this:Russell Wilson finishes 9-of-15, 150 yards, one touchdown and no picks. He also took four sacks, losing 34 yards, including a 22-yard loss just before the end of the first half. The Seahawks have no sacks, but Earl Thomas and Bradley McDougald have both picked Case Keenum, keeping the score close.Seattle gets the ball to start half number two.Where the Seahawks rank in pressure rate on offense and defense In our handy dandy photo tool Youth Doug Baldwin Jersey , you won’t find a ton of pictures of Quinton Jefferson, which is a bit unusual for a starting NFL defensive end. But not so unusual for a defensive end who has just six tackles and no sacks through three games. However, Jefferson gets a lot more done “behind the scenes” than he’s given credit for on a normal box score.According to FootballOutsiders premium charting stats, Jefferson leads the Seattle Seahawks with five pressures this season, 1.5 more than Frank Clark, even though Clark does have three sacks. Jefferson usually doesn’t play as many snaps as Clark does (though in Week 1, he led the defensive end group with 48 snaps to Clark’s 43), but he’s a very regular member of the defensive line rotation. It’s a long way from being waived, as the former fifth round pick was a year ago, spending a brief amount of time with the LA Rams before returning last year, quietly winning the job opposite of Clark, and then recording a team-high four QB hits against Dak Prescott on Sunday.He’s no doubt helped Seattle’s pass rush, which now ranks 16th in the NFL at 25.2%, per FootballOutsiders. (I would link to a full list, but it’s behind a paywall.)The Seahawks are tied with the Carolina Panthers in that category http://www.authenticsseattleseahawks.com/cheap-justin-britt-jersey , and are a step behind the LA Chargers at 15. The team apparently leading the way in pressure rate: the Dallas Cowboys. Though Seattle’s defense was the star of the game, the Cowboys did sack Russell Wilson and hit him seven times. They have 11 sacks on the season and it’s come from all angles, with nine players recording at least a piece of a sack. The Seahawks next test is Chandler Jones and the Arizona Cardinals, who rank third in pressure rate on defense.Neither the Seahawks nor the Cardinals have anything to brag about with the pressure rates allowed by their offensive lines, however.While Seattle is often described as having the worst pass protection in the league, they actually rank 27th in pressure rate allowed, per FO. That’s bad, but it’s not the worst. There are five teams below them — including the high-profile, high-paid unit in Dallas, and Arizona, a team that ranks 31st in pressure rate allowed at 38.5%.Only the Houston Texans are worse.The top two teams in the NFL are no surprise, with the Tennessee Titans and Oakland Raiders ranking first and second, while the surprise Miami Dolphins are third.For now, I think the Seahawks’ protection is where it is, and while the unit hopefully improves as the season goes on (we’ll see what the return of D.J. Fluker means in the long run Seahawks Tom Johnson Jersey , as well as the health and positional futures of Justin Britt, Joey Hunt, J.R. Sweezy, and Ethan Pocic), I don’t expect Seattle to end the year ranking as the top offensive line in football. I don’t think the Seahawks will lead the league in sacks either, but I think pressure rate on defense has a lot more potential.Depending on the progress of Rasheem Green, the health of Dion Jordan, the formula on how to use Barkevious Mingo, the potential breakout of Jarran Reed, and greater coverage by a secondary that seems to get better each week, maybe Seattle can finish in the top five there. It starts with guys like Clark, but Jefferson is doing his part too. |
