Seahawks have huge problems on special teams

Blogged under Bloglockers,Front Page by ravenhater on Wednesday 11 October 2006 at 2:30 pm

The Seahawks are having a rough time kicking the ball and covering kicks.  The Seahawks are allowing opponents a 7.6 yard punt return average and are allowing 25.4 yards per kick-off return.

Josh Brown has been shaky so far this season.  Brown has made 5 of 8 FGs and all 9 XPTs.  Rookie punter Ryan Plackemeier has been having a little trouble so far.  Plackemeier is averaging 45.3 yards per punt return and an average of 35.3 yards net gain.  Plackemeier needs to get better at placing the ball as only 13.6% of his punts have been downed inside the opposing 20 yard line.

Jimmy Williams is averaging 7.5 yards per punt return.  Willie Ponder is doing a good job returning kick-offs as he is averaging 25.3 yards per kick-off return.

Seahawks need bye week

A week off now is good for the Seahawks.  They really need to work on their blocking which hasn’t been good for the run (3.4 ypc) or the pass (13 sacks).  The Seahawks have great skill position players, but if the O-Line doesn’t play better, they will be wasted.

Matt Hasselbeck playing reckless

The Seahawks aren’t running the ball well and you can tell it’s starting to affect the way Hasselbeck is playing.  He’s forcing too many passes into coverage and he’s taking too many sacks.  Hasselbeck has completed 77 of 125 passes (61.6%) for 854 yards with 6 TDs and 7 INT.  Hasselbeck only has a QB rating of 74.6 and has been sacked 13 times.  With Shaun Alexander hurt, Hasselbeck needs to step up.  He has good receivers, all he needs to do is make better decisions.

The Seahawks look lost without Shaun Alexander!  RB Maurice Morris filled in and had 35 yards on 11 carries (3.2 ypc).  Matt Hasselbeck had a rough game, completing only 16 of 35 passes for 196 yards and 2 INT.  WR Darrell Jackson caugh5 passes for 62 yards.  Deion Branch caught 3 passes for 57 yards. 

The Seahawks linebackers were busy.  Lofa Tatupu had 11 tackles, Leroy Hill had nine tackles and Julian Peterson had 9 tackles also.  The Bears ran the ball 38 times for 143 yards (3.8 ypc).  The Bears also completed 17 of 31 passes for 219 net yards passing.

The Seahawks will have to regroup after taking this beating at the hands of the Chicago Bears.
