Seattle game will be a good litmus test for our offense

[Guest LegionOfBoom]

Not to mention Irvin. It is a valid question but if any team has a secondary that can compensate the Hawks do.They are stacked with talent but I suspect there will be clearly a drop off.If we can sustain some drives I suspect we could wear them down.

 

The thing is Shula must be creative with the offense especially since we have proven during preseason that we do not have a power running game coupled with SSmith will be at least partially neutralized by Sherman.I  think that is a given.

 

I hope we least attempt using short passes as an extension of our running game and see if Barner or Dlow can break one. I think it will be interesting to see if Ginn can get separation at the line of scrimmage..if he can he will win the foot race. There CBs are cocky and play pretty tight coverage.

 

 

 

Depth!

Cocky bastards ! Well then why did we almost beat you last year if the Hawks are so dam good?

I would rather open against a good defense and see how we fare then against a mediocre one and get a false reading of the offense. Time to take off the panties and man up.One way to show the world that we are relevant,is to become relevant.

They threw A LOT on Sherman and he made A LOT  of plays.

 

 

Sherman has the advantage, please stop with the bias talk. It will be a good match up and I do like for Smith's experience to earn him catches.

i'd take smith over any cb in the league..........with that being said it wouldn't surprise me if he was limited by sherman but if he lines up in the slot like they have been saying this off-season i can see him wreaking havoc plus i have never seen a cb get the best of 89 TWICE!

if smitty catches five passes against sherman i'll call it a successful day. sherman will probably be the toughest competition he faces this season.

89, 30-something or not, is not the kind of guy who does not remember history and learn from it.

That is a good point..it should be very clear where we will need to improve win or lose. G-Man said upgrading talent is a process that does not end with preseason but hopefully it will all be good.
