Seahawks' Wilson passing less, winning more | Defense, running game, special teams take onus off QB in Carroll's system | Danny O'Neil | The Seattle Times

Of all the rookies who began the season as their team's starting quarterback over the past 20 years, only one attempted fewer passes than Russell Wilson through five games.

But none had more victories.

Understanding that is the key to making sense of Seattle's situation both under center and in the NFL rankings for passing yardage. Seattle is no longer last in the league in that category, thanks more to Jacksonville's ineptitude, but the Seahawks' lack of passing production is more a result of the path Seattle chose when it named its starting quarterback as opposed to the production of the player it picked.

If the Patriots put up points early on the Seahawks D, Wilson will have to throw the ball. With an opportunistic Patriots D, that could be interesting.

Time for the Hooded one to make him a 1 dimensional player.......

Unless Seattle somehow gets a big lead early, he's going to be forced to throw. No way BB is going to give Lynch a chance to win this game, Wilson's the one that's going to have to do it.

I'd rather force Russell Wilson to win the game with his arm than allow Marshawn Lynch to dictate the game's flow with his legs. Carroll loves to control the flow of the game with the D and the running game.

Take Lynch out of the game and the Patriots are two-thirds done.

BB always says we take out your best player, can the 2nd best beat us or something like that right? I don't know Seattle very well, but if you take out Rice, who's left?

Focus on Lynch, lets get a consistant pass rush & send a blitzer time2time at Wilson rattle his cage. No-Huddle Will tire out an agressive defense. Wilson gets to see a BB "D" pkg schemes, good chance for turn overs here.

I like the way Seattle's run first attitude lines up with our defense. If Hightower is back in the fold I'm that much impressed with our match up. I must have laughed out loud ten times at the decision to try to run on us last week.

On the other hand, I seem to remember a few rookie qb's having pretty good games against us in the past...

The key will be to contain and focus on Marshawn Lynch, their star RB.

Other than that, I'd imagine they may spy someone on Wilson at times and bracket Rice or Golden Tate with some safety help.

SEA also has Golden Tate, who is certainly capable of producing nicely, but I'd imagine that we'll take our chances one-on-one with him. That said, he does have 4.42 speed, so he can break one or have a big game if they aren't careful enough.

Stopping the run will be the key to our defense, but Wilson will likely gain some yardage scrambling at times, and they'll probably try to take advantage of some middle of the field passes with our LB's in coverage. If that's the case it won't really matter 'who' it is. SEA will probably have some success with matching up on the LB's who are weak in coverage (which is just about all of them unfortunately).

More importantly, our offensive line needs to protect well as usual, and we'll need to have good balance and the ability to score 23+.
