Seahawks Got A BUNCH Of Good News Before Seattle Plays The Jacksonville Jaguars

Finally, the Seattle Seahawks get some good injury news. This team has been absolutely snake bitten all season long, but you’re going to get some players that were on the injury report back on the active roster, and I’m going to tell you all about that on today’s video. [Music] Welcome into Seahawks Today. I am your host, Will Ortner, and I want to make sure that you get the opportunity to subscribe to the channel. It’s free.

Best way to do that is go in and smash that subscribe button. Now, it isn’t a secret. Your Seattle Seahawks defense really, and boy do I mean really, struggled last Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Some of that was because Baker Mayfield is playing at an MVP level right now, but some of that was because your defense is beat up. They are hurt and they need to get healthier. Finally feels like you’re starting to see some of those players make their way back onto the field. I mean, just look at the injury report that you had going into that Tampa Bay game. You got Josh Jones out. Hey man, that’s a big loss there on the offensive line because there’s your swing tackle. But the next three guys, those are the big key guys that you’re missing. Demarcus Lawrence not being able to go. Julian Love not being able to go. Devin Witherspoon not being able to go. Those are three guys that are big stars in your defense. And most importantly with Love and with Witherspoon, they’re both in the secondary. That is a position group in that corners and safety crew where it just feels like everybody and their brother is hurt. But don’t worry because reinforcements are on the way. You really saw Seattle miss out on Spoon and on Demarcus Lawrence specifically because in their position rooms there just isn’t a lot of depth with the amount of injuries that they have. Demarcus Lawrence’s backup Derrick Hall obviously uh getting injured as well as Reek Woolen getting injured in that quarterback room. Mike McDonald did have this to say in one of his weekly press conference that he had going out early on in the week. He said that Spoon Devin Witherspoon and Daw Demarcus Lawrence are going to try and practice in the middle of this week. Does that mean Thursday? Does that mean Friday? He wasn’t going to go into too much detail on it himself in that moment. Right now, there’s no injury designation, but it does sound like they are going to practice and then they’ll take it from there. That’s huge because in my eyes, if Demarcus Lawrence and Devin Witherspoon are able to go out and practice, that means that they are going to play on Sunday. Especially especially a guy like Demarcus Lawrence where his injury is more of a a quad bruise type of deal. Is he able to work through it where like Devin Witherspoons when you got a knee issue I mean we saw it. He came back for the Cardinals game after missing weeks uh two and three. You end up having to miss your last game because his knee just wasn’t right there. So Demarcus Lawrence coming back. I want to dive into him first before I get into Devin Witherspoon and his return will completely fix or mostly fix some of the deficiencies that you saw in that rush edge position in Seattle. Now, it’s going to work in two different ways. The first way is Demarcus Lawrence’s rushing ability to stop the run games. Right now, he’s turned into a complete outside zone stopper. Now, was that a huge deal against Tampa Bay? No. until it was. Remember at the very end of the game, Tampa Bay ran a play that was off tackle. Rashad White, gets past Tyrese Knight, gets the first down, slides down. Tampa Bay is able to go and kick a field goal to win that one. Now, if Demarcus Lawrence is in the game, maybe he’s at that end position. He isn’t able to be pushed down too far inside. Tyrese Knight then doesn’t have to overcompensate Phil too far up into the gap. And maybe you’re able to stop Rashad White. And while Tampa Bay would have been able to kick a field goal, they would have had to have left more time on the clock for your Seattle Seahawks. When we look at the edge position depth chart right now, that’s why I want to talk about the second reason. You don’t have a true rush edge if Demarcus Lawrence doesn’t go. What do I mean by that? If Demarcus Lawrence isn’t healthy and cannot play, Hall is out already. He had an oblique injury. We did a video on the channel. if you haven’t had an opportunity to go check that out. You need to go and check that out. With that core injury, he’s going to be out for an extended period of time. He’s going to miss at least the Jaguars game. Probably doesn’t come back until after the by-week. So, that means you’re either going with the rookie Jared Ivy all by himself or you’re kind of piecing things together until you can get healthy. Demarcus Lawrence coming back completely fixes that issue. Lawrence is a lockdown edge run defender. Early in his career, he was great at getting after the quarterback. He’s not really that type of guy anymore. There’s still a lot of value for him because what it does is it forces teams to double team him. Now, Chenna Nuosu isn’t being doubleteamed. Now, Boy Maf isn’t being double teamed. There are less opportunities for teams to double Leonard Williams or Byron Murphy. Right? When you are at your full compliment in Seattle on that defensive line, we’ve seen just how good they were. You’ve played one game without Demarcus Lawrence. In that game, you had your lowest pressures and lowest QB hits and you only ended up getting a sack in that game. Is that all completely because of Demarcus Lawrence? No. But it takes one to make the hole. The minute you take one piece away, that can be a big issue for you. The other big reason of getting Demarcus Lawrence back being huge is Travis ETN Jr. Now, some of you might say, “Well, Pank Bsby, that was the big running back in Jacksonville for so long.” Not anymore. Right now, ETN Jr. is running the ball highly effectively. He’s a top five rusher in the NFL. He’s got over 400 yards so far in the season. And his running ability opens things up for that passing game. They’re just like you. They want to run the football to open up the pass. Well, if you can stop that rushing attack from Jacksonville, hey, all of a sudden now Trevor Lawrence has to beat you. I like those odds with this uh defense. What say you? How are you feeling about the potential return of Spoon and Daw? Championship back on, playoffs back on, maybe you’re somewhere in between in the middle. Let me know down below in the comments. We’re going to talk about Devin Witherspoon and his return from his injury in a second, but first I want to talk to you about today’s proud sponsor, Prize Picks.

It’s good to be right. Devin Witherspoon looks like he’s on track to return. Now, there was some fears in Seattle. I mean, shoot, myself included. When you have a player that returns from an injury but then immediately goes back onto the injury report like Witherspoon did, you kind of wonder if he rushed back to get on the field. You kind of wonder if the coaching staff may have rushed him back. I mean, shoot, honestly, it’s probably a combination of everybody rushing him to get back because of how good Devin Witherspoon is. Hopefully, he has now finally had enough time off that that knee and MCL bruise will be completely healed because you need him at 100% health, ready to go. When you look in this quarterback dep chart right now, it is scary. So, think about this. Josh Job, he’s 100% healthy. No fears, no worries. We’re good to go. Reek Woolen, he’s in concussion protocol. He might not be able to go. Well, okay. Darien Kendrick will step up for him then. Well, if Devin Witherspoon isn’t able to go, like he wasn’t able to go last Sunday, that means you’re going to have to find a new nickel. It sometimes Seattle was using Nicki Menary, sometimes they were using Taio, sometimes they were using Darien Kendrick. But if you don’t have Reek one and Devin Witherspoon, that means you’ve got multiple backups going and potentially having to see a lot of Nehemiah Pritchette on the field. Not here to call anyone out. Pritchette really struggled on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now, I want to talk about this fact that I kind of went through and figured out, and frankly, it was shocking to me. Remember, going into the year, the way Seattle wanted to attack, it was Reek Woolen would be one of your starters at corner. Deon Witherspoon would be one of your starters at corner and then because Josh Joe played so well, Witherspoon would either bounce out to nickel or Nicki Moriri would be the nickel and Witherspoon would still stay on the outside. You have had five plays where the Seattle Seahawks starting defensive back group has been able to play together. Now I am throwing Nicki Mori as a starter in that right. So it would be Reek Woolen at one of the corners or Josh Job and Devin Witherspoon. Five plays into the season, Nicki Menor got hurt and ever since then it’s been a revolving door of corners and safeties and anyone in that secondary getting hurt. I cannot wait to see what this secondary unit can play like once they are 100% healthy. And they need to get 100% healthy right now because the defensive line was doing a lot of piggybacking for them, right? They were carrying him over their shoulder because they were getting into the backfield. They were making plays. They weren’t giving opposing quarterbacks enough time to throw against this secondary. Well, finally, I think you saw last Sunday those injuries catch up and you saw what happens when a team keeps seven in the box to not let that defensive line get after the quarterback. Seattle’s secondary has to get healthy so that they can take some of the pressure off this defensive line. I feel weird about the next one because the positive injury news that you are getting for the Seahawks is everyone returning and unfortunately injuries are part of the game and the Jacksonville Jaguars did have an injury to their tight end Brentton Strange. He is not going to be available for this game. He’s out with a quad injury. He’s going to be on the IR for four weeks. I’m not celebrating an injury to Brenton Strange. But what I am saying is when you are the Seattle Seahawks and you have a bunch of injuries in your secondary, in your defense, you need all the help you can get. And if that means there’s one less playmaker for Trevor Lawrence, that’s going to be a good thing for your football team. It means there’s one less thing to prepare for or there’s one less mismatch that can be sought out and used against you. So, right now with Jacksonville not having a ton of injuries, got a little bit banged up on the O line, but now they’re going to be without one of their top tight ends. It is going to help make life a little bit easier on your defense there in Seattle. Make sure you subscribe to the channel. Right now, we are on the road to 73,000 subscribers.
