3 Reasons For Optimism Amid Seattle Seahawks’ Recent Skid
With a mini bye ahead of their Week 7 game, the Seattle Seahawks have major issues to address before they face the Atlanta Falcons. They’re on a three-game losing streak. But the team started the season 3-0.
It’s hard to win games in the NFL. This Seahawks team has proven it can do that, regardless of what the most recent performances have told us. The three games in 11 days aren’t an excuse to lose three in a row, but it is a factor.
What reasons are there to feel good about Seattle’s chances of bouncing back from its skid? Through six games, what has been the team’s strengths even in defeat? Here are three reasons for positivity regarding the Seahawks.
Linebacker Tyrel Dodson, cornerback Devon Witherspoon, nose tackle Johnathan Hankins and safeties Julian Love and Rayshawn Jenkins are the only four defensive players to start all six games thus far for the Seahawks. Injuries have plagued this team, and Love has missed time despite each of his starts.
Riq Woolen, Leonard Williams, Boye Mafe, Byron Murphy II, Jerome Baker and Uchenna Nwosu are all key defenders or starters for Seattle who have missed some or extensive time. It hasn’t all been at the same time, either. Seattle has been forced to reshuffle its starting lineup constantly.
Through the first three games, the Seahawks were mostly healthy. The defense looked like a top-tier unit in conjunction with head coach Mike Macdonald’s scheme. Since then, the tight schedule only amplified Seattle’s issues — forcing players to get on the field even if they weren’t 100 percent.
Now, with a 10-day break, the Seahawks should get most of its starting lineup and premier backups back to health. If that’s the case, there’s a good chance the defense returns to form.
Despite losing the turnover battle 6-1 over its last three games, Seattle somehow still managed to keep itself within striking distance late in the defeats.
In the Seahawks’ three victories, the defense gave up 14.3 points per game and 248.7 yards per game. In the losses, the unit allowed 35.7 points per game and 430.7 yards. Seattle has scored at least 20 points per game but hasn’t done enough to crack the 30-point mark.
If the Seahawks can become more consistent in closing out games when leading or completing late comebacks, the wins may start funneling back in. That’s much more difficult said than done, but Seattle is yet to be blown out, which is a positive.
Seattle’s kryptonite has been its ball security issues. From special teams fumbles to DK Metcalf fumbling in key situations, to Geno Smith’s six interceptions in six games. More often than not, those turnovers have resulted in points for the other team and have demoralized the Seahawks.
On the other hand, Seattle’s defense has forced just one turnover in the three losses (a 102-yard fumble return score versus the Giants). That unit has to be better creating opportunities and points for the Seahawks. Macdonald’s Baltimore Ravens led the NFL in takeaways (31) last season and turnover margin (+12) — a strength that has yet to translate to his scheme with Seattle.
This season, Seattle is tied for second-worst in the league at a minus-six turnover margin. A talent issue would be much harder to fix mid-season. A ball security issue can be reversed.
SEATTLE – Western Washington is staying locked into a cool and unsettled weather pattern as we head into the second half of the week.
Showers will continue to rotate through the region over the next several days as a series of weather disturbances move overhead, keeping skies mostly cloudy and temperatures running below average for mid-May.
Thursday will bring a brief break in the action before the next weak system arrives later in the day. Expect scattered showers to redevelop with plenty of cloud cover sticking around. Temperatures will remain cool, with highs near 60 degrees.
It will be cool on Thursday in Western Washington with increasing clouds and showers. (FOX 13 Seattle)
What’s next:
The weather turns a bit more active Friday as the next system swings into the Pacific Northwest. Western Washington will see widespread showers and even the possibility of a few isolated thunderstorms. While not everyone will hear thunder, a few heavier downpours and small hail can’t be ruled out if any storms manage to develop during the afternoon.
Rain showers will push through Western Washington again on Friday afternoon. (FOX 13 Seattle)
Saturday will be cool with scattered showers and another chance for isolated thunderstorms, especially near the Cascades. Afternoon highs will struggle to make it out of the 50s across many lowland Puget Sound area communities.
Mountain travelers should also be prepared for a dramatic change compared to the recent warm spell. Much colder air will filter into the Cascades this weekend, and while significant snow accumulation looks unlikely, higher elevations could still see snow showers and sharply colder conditions. Anyone planning outdoor recreation in the mountains should be ready for winter-like weather at times.
Snow levels will drop to near pass levels in the Washington Cascades Friday through Sunday. (FOX 13 Seattle)
Looking Ahead:
The pattern finally begins to improve late in the weekend and into early next week. High pressure is expected to rebuild over the northeastern Pacific, bringing a return to drier weather and some sunshine. Temperatures should gradually rebound back into the 60s by Monday and Tuesday, although the ridge may remain weak enough to allow for occasional clouds at times.
Temperatures will be cool the next three days with showers in Seattle, but next week will be drier and warmer. (FOX 13 Seattle)
