Patrick Kerney Color Rush Jersey , the Seattle Seahawks have had to shake things up a bit among their starters. Injuries, trades, and a couple of emerging rookies have resulted in a different look than way back in Week 1. You can confirm snap counts for yourself from Week 1 and beyond at this helpful place. Here’s who came out of the gates for the Hawks on opening day.The OffenseLT Duane BrownLG Ethan PocicC Justin BrittRG DJ Fluker RT Germain IfediRussell WilsonChris CarsonWR 1 Tyler LockettWR 2Jaron BrownWR 3 DK MetcalfTE Will DisslyThe DefenseBobby WagnerK.J.

The OffenseLT Duane Brown was looking highly unlikely until today, which would have meant George Fant at left tackle again. LG Ethan Pocic Mike IupatiC Justin BrittRG DJ Fluker RT now it looks like if Germain Ifedi isn’t able to go than George Fant ends up over here.Russell WilsonChris CarsonWR 1 Tyler LockettWR 2 DK MetcalfJaron Brown is still in play, but is a far stretch removed from the undeniable WR2 that he appeared to be on day one. TE Will Dissly has turned into a Jacob Hollister and Luke Willson combo.The DefenseA broader defensive line rotation (unfortunately with the same results):Jadeveon ClowneyPoona FordQuinton JeffersonAl WoodsZiggy AnsahRasheem GreenJarran Reed will undoubtedly take snaps away from the others on the inside, but Green and Woods had both earned their way to 50% snap counts for the past several weeks, including Reed’s first game last Sunday.The rest of the defense this week is a complete cluster. Bobby Wagner is good.K.J. Wright is good.Shaquil Griffin is good.After those guys...Bradley McDougald looked unlikely all week, now listed questionable. This could possibly be a subsequent start for Marquise Blair.Tedric Thompson Quandre Diggs was the obvious choice until he remained questionable all week. While many hope it’s not T2 this week, it’s impossible to say if a new/limited Diggs is an improvement right now.Mychal Kendricks is presumably the starter Germain Ifedi Color Rush Jersey , per usual. But, and especially if McDougald is healthy, there’s a chance Blair or Ugo Amadi or almost anyone might make a better starting option at some point. Consider,I would love to see Pete Carroll attempt something besides the three-headed linebacker monster who avoids pass coverage like the plague. That would be a first this season.Tre Flowers is a new questionable on the injury report. He’s probably one of the more likely candidates to play through, but Flowers hasn’t missed a game yet and that would be a new adjustment for the defense. By my count, we’ve got two new starters on the offense, probably three. It could be four.Then on the defense, we’re guaranteed two who didn’t start week one: Ziggy and Reed. If Blair and Diggs make it to game day, that’s four on defense plus a couple more game time decisions. All of this doesn’t even factor the non-starters. We’ve got Bryan Mone, who played 27% of Week 1 snaps and is no longer on the team. Ugo Amadi Marshawn Lynch Color Rush Jersey , who’s been in my opinion the best special teams player on the roster but hasn’t seen the defense since Week 2. Rashaad Penny has seen less and less of the field lately, not amounting to anything resembling a timeshare. At the end of the day, it’s a good time to have somewhere from four to eight new faces starting the game against the flailing Atlanta Falcons. Whether or not most of these guys will play could come down to the wire far more than the actual game. Remember that offseason video of DK Metcalf running routes with Russell Wilson? It went viral. People judged it, and talked about it, and over-analyzed it. It was peak no-football twitter. Cleveland Browns free safety Damarious Randall even decided to weigh in on the commentary, quote tweeting “LOL.”Perhaps Randall should have thought more carefully about such action, given the Seattle Seahawks would play the Browns in Week 6, but then Twitter isn’t for that. It’s for firing off your spicy takes.Metcalf had his revenge last Sunday. The rookie flashed one of his best traits in college: the ability to get off press coverage. Granted a clean release on the slant, he helped Russell Wilson beat the 3rd down blitz. Then Metcalf punished Randall. At 6ft 3, 228lbs Earl Thomas III Color Rush Jersey , Metcalf is an absolute load for defenders to take down. He brings a terrifying combination of speed (4.33s forty) and power that gives him serious Yards-After-Catch potential. Randall, 5ft 11 196lbs, brutally discovered this, getting stiff-armed to the turf as Metcalf shed him. Metcalf surged onwards and it took three Cleveland defenders to push him out of bounds.Projected to finish with 896 receiving yards in Seattle’s run-first attack, the 21-year-old Metcalf looks to have a stupidly high ceiling. He was given an end-around carry in Cleveland and showed exciting chemistry with Wilson. The decision from John Schneider to trade back into the 2019 second-round to take the former Ole Miss wide receiver looks inspired. Metcalf is going to embarrass more defenders, but none will be as sweet as the revenge he exacted on Randall—a fifth-year NFL vet.
