Just watched the All 22 Seahawks Offense v. Packers Defense. Packers should not have lost that game just based on watching what I did. I couldn’t believe they won the game when I watched it live, and I am even more shocked they won after watching that.
Patriots Keys to Win and Stop Seahawks
#1 Stop Marshawn Lynch. There is not another thing even close. Everything runs through him, if you can manage to contain him you can beat them. There’s nothing else on their offense other than that. I’ve been listening to Mazzerotti for the last two weeks saying stopping Wilson is #1 key. He’s wrong. It’s not even close. The seahawks will run, run, run, run and keep running. They will not stop. Surprisingly, they played a little more 3 WR sets than I expected. I think they do this to take out a LB and put in a DB, and then run against a lighter Defense. Will be interesting to see if we run 3 Safeties and 2 Corners or 2 Safeties and 3 corners. My guess, and what I would do is go 3 Safeties (unless the 3rd corner is a better run stopper than the Safety).
#2 Keep Wilson uncomfortable. You do this by keeping him in the pocket. The Packers either played Zone or Man with a spy. Usually the spy was Clay Matthews or #21, I think Newsome.
#3. Man vs. Zone. In my opinion, you have to play Man. Seahawks WRs struggle against Man coverage, and I think struggle is too nice of a description. Basically all of Seahawks’ yardage came when the packers played zone. It did not work. Baldwin seems especially smart against zone. Verses man they could not seem to separate at all. If we play Zone, like we do vs. Jets, this will be an extremely frustrating game. And we will all lose a few years off of our lives. I am not sure if Wilson isn’t a good passer or his receivers aren’t good, but its one of them. The packers brought 4 just about every play. thats what we should do
How do you stop Marshawn Lynch. Each defensive player must maintain their gaps, especially and most importantly outside contain. They run basically all their runs where the lineman run in a direction and lynch waits and waits until he sees something open. My impression was that lynch isn’t that fast but more of a bruiser. That boy is fast. When Lynch comes to your gap you have to maintain your gap, tackle or least stall him and wait for help. The bigger plays of 10+ yards this week were basically all where the Seahawks linemen did their job and Lynch simply ran through a tackler. Branch, Wilfork, Siliga MUST MUST play well. Linebackers must tackle.
IFFFFFF we stop the run I cannot see them scoring more than 17 points. Hopefully we can score 18. I think that’s the magic number.
