Seattle Sports host Stacy Rost breaks down her three keys for the NFC West-leading Seattle Seahawks (8-5) of their 5:20 p.m. Sunday night time sport towards the Green Bay Packers (9-4) in a brand new video. You can watch the video or learn the edited transcript beneath.
Keys for the Seattle Seahawks to beat Green Bay
1. It all begins with Josh Jacobs.
Josh Jacobs just isn’t placing up the numbers – neither is he going to – that he had in 2022 with the Raiders. That doesn’t imply he’s not central to the Packers’ success this 12 months. He is the key offensively. He’s already received over 1,000 yards, already has 11 touchdowns, and can actually put to the check a Seahawks protection that’s been strong towards the run. Five weeks now, they’re limiting opposing run video games to about 91 yards on the bottom. Compare that to the sooner half of the season once they have been permitting about 145 on the bottom. Massive distinction, however you may be examined towards Jacobs.
2. Score early and sometimes.
This is a Packers offense that finds the top zone fairly commonly, they don’t have any downside scoring. Your protection is hopefully going that can assist you out, proceed to maintain this factor low scoring. I don’t understand how simple that’s going to be towards the Packers, so get Zach Charbonnet on the market, hopefully Kenneth Walker III is again on the market. Whatever you do, attempt to get 30 factors on this one as a result of which may find yourself being a magic quantity.
3. Take benefit of their weak spot.
The Packers are workforce. I’m not saying that they’ve large weaknesses, but when there’s a weak spot to this Packers workforce, it’s going to be accidents within the defensive backfield and a few up-and-down play with their move rush. So that’s the place Seattle goes to wish to take benefit – attempt to rating on them, attempt to get the move sport going, search for Jaxon Smith-Njigba, no matter it’s. Take benefit of a Packers defensive position and a Packers defensive backfield that’s been a little bit up and down.
