When the Seattle Seahawks meet the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday night in a winner-take-all showdown for the NFC West championship and No. 1 seed to the playoffs, Michael Bumpus is looking for a surprising aspect of the Seahawks’ team to make a big impact.

The Reset: The reasons the Seahawks will beat the 49ers

“The front five, let’s get going. This is your day to shine,” Bumpus said, referring to the offensive line, on Wednesday’s edition of Bump and Stacy on Seattle Sports.

Bumpus isn’t just hoping the Seahawks’ O-line plays well against the 49ers. He has reason to believe it will be the case.

For one, the Seahawks are coming off of back-to-back weeks with a 100-yard rusher, with Kenneth Walker III hitting the century mark against the Los Angeles Rams on Dec. 18, and fellow running back Zach Charbonnet going for 110 last Sunday against the Carolina Panthers.

But the other side of it is that the 49ers have not been much of a threat this year to pressure the quarterback with defensive end Nick Bosa and linebacker Fred Warner, two perennial Pro Bowlers, both out of action due to injury. San Francisco is last in the NFL with just 18 sacks this season. It is also second-to-last in blitz percentage (18.3%) and third-to-last in pressure rate (16.7%).

“(Jalen) Sundell, Josh Jones, Abe Lucas, (Grey) Zabel, Anthony Bradford – it’s your time to shine,” Bumpus said. “… I’m watching the film, there’s nothing dynamic about these dudes on that (49ers) defensive line.”

Bumpus, a former NFL wide receiver who is now a broadcast analyst and host of the Seahawks Radio Network pregame and postgame shows, pointed out that the 49ers are a bit better at defending the run (26th in the NFL at 103.3 rushing yards allowed per game). But he believes confidence is growing for Seattle’s offensive linemen with their last two games, and that will only help quarterback Sam Darnold gain confidence himself.

“Once the O-line gets some confidence, they feel like they can dominate these guys, then you get downhill and you start to go, can we go back-to-back-to-back weeks with a 100-yard rusher? That would be beautiful,” he said. “The more I look at this tape, the more I look at this film, the more I believe that this offensive line can have themselves a day against the Niners. And if that is possible, if they do that, everything else is going to open up.

“We know what Sam looks like when he’s confident back there, when he’s getting to that back foot and boom, letting it go. … I want Sam to be confident, and how does he get confident? It starts with the big boys up front.”

The Seahawks take on the 49ers at 5 p.m. Saturday, with radio coverage on Seattle Sports beginning at 2 p.m. with Bumpus and the rest of the pregame crew.

Catch Bump and Stacy from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. weekdays on Seattle Sports.
