Normally, we run our Seattle Seahawks Overreactions the working day following a video game. However, Chris Phillips had a very last-minute concern and is unavailable. Our resident curmudgeon Chip Clark techniques in with his Armchair QB opinions.

At situations it appeared dicey that the Seattle Seahawks would pull out an intra-division get at Arizona. But they turned their fortunes around to leave Arizona with a 31-21 gain. Below are some fascinating points from the game.

Overcoming Adversity

Sunday’s match was a microcosm of Geno Smith‘s tenure as the Seahawks quarterback. He begun gradual, likely 10 of 15 for 63 yards on his first three drives.

He also threw a select-six early in the third quarter, putting Arizona up 14-10. Then business enterprise picked up.

As an alternative of obtaining down on himself, Smith rallied. On the future possession, he went 5 of 6 for 54 yards culminating with a 9-garden TD throw to Tyler Lockett.

That was the commence of three straight landing drives. You acquired to give it up to the person for not quitting on this recreation or his career.

North and South, not East and West

Kenneth Walker has been a revelation considering the fact that Seattle Seahawks GM John Schneider drafted the functioning again from Michigan State in the next spherical final April. Sunday was more of the exact same KW3 picked up 129 yards from scrimmage and 2 TDs on 29 touches.

He could have had a lot more. Several times, Walker attempted to conquer the defense on the exterior when he had many alternatives to flip upfield. With any luck ,, it was rookie issues.

Cornering the Market

I, for a single, disagreed with the Seahawk’s method when it came to drafting cornerbacks. They experienced to do it, but I considered they ought to have picked a single previously.

Coby Bryant (fourth spherical) and Tariq Woolen (fifth spherical) will be all around the Emerald Town for a long time. The youthful corners nearly shut down Arizona’s passing sport. Kyler Murray only completed 25 passes for 175 yards.

Seattle corners held Cardinals receivers to 12 catches for 101 yards, such as 4 for 36 by DeAndre Hopkins.

Properly, I was mistaken.

TE of the 7 days

Smith utilizes all his weapons in the passing activity. He’s particularly adept at obtaining the most out of his limited ends.

As a group, the Seattle Seahawks restricted finishes had one more sturdy outing. Noah Fant, Will Dissly, and Colby Parkinson caught 10 passes for 126 yards.

This week, Noah Fant performed his ideal sport due to the fact becoming a member of the Seahawks. He had 5 grabs for 96 yards and was a constant mismatch for the defenders covering him.

Following 7 days, the Seattle Seahawks participate in the Tampa Bay Bradys in Munich, Germany.
