Who can spy Russell Wilson


Bakin

Recommended Posts

I’m no expert on D strategy but it’s safe to assume that someone on our D will have to spy Wilson at all times. He’s so dangerous to take off at any time...

who’s the guy that has that job?

and how will he fare on Sunday ??

Nobody. If he is running the ball he isn't throwing it. Let him get some runs. Cover the pass. Prevent the big plays. He'll eventually get frustrated and try forcing some throws. Send some well timed blitzes.

He doesn’t run down field as much as people think.  He scrambles a lot, is great at it, and more times than not, finds some guy down the field.  When he does run, he doesn’t take chances and always finds a way to slide or get out of bounds.  I see them moreso only rushing four as Wilson is one of the best at beating the blitz, so I can see a 4-2-5 scenario where Trey can hopefully take out Metcalf, and we can double Lockett.  We have to play zone mostly and keep everything in front of us, so don’t get frustrated when you see them matriculating down the field.  We are one of the best at not allowing the deep ball.

Would rather have him run then pass. 

 

I am really curious on how our Secondary will responded vs Locket and Metcalf.  

 

I am ready to see a big game from our Superstar newly extended Cornerback, that was only 2 months ago.  Perhaps his first interception of the year comes on Week 9.

Yup, I think you’re right.  Keep it all in front of us (including Wilson) with Cover 3 and Cover 4.

As others said similar to KC. Seattle is deadly when they get behind defenders. First objective stop the deep ball. 3rd down is the only time Wilson will probably run much. If he can’t go deep, and we have good coverage he’ll eat us alive with 8 yard runs. 
I said earlier I’d like to see Siran Neal out there on third downs. Either spy Wilson or blitz him. Neal has the speed to wreak some havoc

Nobody has stopped them yet and Metcalf gets more dominant each week.

I agree 100% captain going to be an exact duplicate with McClapper cheering on the sidelines. Makes me wanna puke.

Then don't watch it if you're so appalled by our 6-2 division leading team. 

 

Can't make anyone happy.

Seattle doesn’t have a back as dynamic as CEH for KC. That’s something. 


Hyde and Carson are pretty good, but they are out.  They are also down a CB, Shaquille Griffin, and Safety, Amadi.  Their DB’s are decimated so even better for us in that they won’t be able to run and are going to have a heck of a time stopping our passing game.  
 

No argument they have an incredible QB and WR’s.  Their main TE is aging by the minute.  They are also down Lupatti at Guard so maybe our defense can get pressure on Wilson with the front four.  I hate we don’t have Milano, but they are making the right call sitting him until after the bye as that is most likely the plan.

I doubt Buffalo will use a spy, but if they did, the guy with the athleticism to do it would be Darron Lee.  That's also something for which he wouldn't need a lot of understanding of the defense, because it's not part of their usual defensive package anyway.  I'm sure he has been a spy once or twice in his college and pro career.

I don't think anyone will be spying him all game, but I would love to see Edmunds make a play and get a big hit on him. He is the same speed but 50lbs heavier. If he is gonna step up and make a big play this is the time, turnovers and stops.

Russ’s legs aren’t nearly as dangerous as his arm. Don’t spy, let him run all day if it means he isn’t throwing 

Seattle will score weather it’s a 6 or 12 play drive ,the question is can we keep up with them and keep it close late in the 4th Quarter with a chance to win ? 
Everyone is thinking a shoot out but I believe we will try to run the ball eat the clock and keep Wilson on the sidelines

Make him scramble until both hammies and calves cramp up like like 4 x 4s.

Run that battery all the way down.

Fatigue makes cowards of us all.

Fatigue makes us less effective, not cowards. I played multiple sports for many years and fatigue never affected my courage.

Something tells me you never played for Vince Lombardi.

Courage and Will are what carry you when your body is about spent, I  never played for Lombardi. You?

p.s. I should have known it was a Lombardi quote. Mental fatigue, but my courage still strong.☺

agree. Wilson isn’t a scrambler. He is a “scamperer.” He scampers when he need to, usually to pick up an easy first down. Mahomes and Murray are similar. Just really smart in terms of picking his spots, getting what he needs, and getting out of bounds. Never really takes a hit.

Sounds like Josh too. Outside the Jets first game.
Honestly Lamar is the only real dual threat QB this season.

The only problem with letting him scramble is thats when he is most dangerous.

 

He loves to fake that he is taking off then throws on the run.

 

If you can chase him past the LOS then we have him where  he is vulnerable.

Murray?

That poster included Murray in his scramblers. Murray seems to be less of a runner in year two, but I honestly haven’t watched a ton of Cards games. Murray looks like he is developing more into a Wilson type of player early in his career. 
Someone can correct me, I might be terrible wrong in that assessment.

I just don't see it happening. If we can't score against arguably the worst defense in the league, at home, on a day predicted to be sunny and 70 degrees, then we're in trouble. 

 

Plus, we may have both our starting guards and our starting TE back in the lineup.  It'll be as close to 100% healthy as it's been all year.  Predicting a big day for Josh and Co.

The offense has to come blazing tomorrow.  They can't play scared

Will that include  a healthy John Brown.  He changes the game as much as Diggs

How's that all worked for the rest of the league?

 

He's completing 71.5% of his passes and has an insane 26 passing TDs in 7 games (against 6 ints). 

 

The Bills D just gave 21 points to NE benchwarmers and the carcass of Cam Newton.

I have a lot of respect for Siran Neal's game.  Dude is a hitter, and a sure tackler (notwithstanding the Houston game).  I would like to see him used in more packages designed to rush and contain mobile QBs, help cover drag routes across the middle.  The play where him and Milano both bounced off Watson was all-time unlucky, but it showed what Siran can bring off the edge.  And I think he has the quicks to actually get Wilson on the ground.  Let him lurk in the middle some and cover crossing routes with one eye on Wilson.

 

Same concept as some are suggesting about Darren Lee, but I trust Siran Neal more than Lee and he knows the system better.  Their weight is not too different.
