Hawks Playbook Podcast Episode 34 - NY State of Mind

Open: Seattle Seahawks Fans, welcome back to the Hawks Playbook Podcast. Join us as we recap the great complete team win in the Big Apple against the NY Giants.  

Featured Segment: Seahawks win on the road vs. the Giants

Seattle finally has a pretty good complete game. The Seattle Seahawks dominated this game on both sides of the ball and moved the team to an overall record of 4-2.

The offensive line played well overall. Odhiambo and Glowinksi allowed only 1 QB pressure each out of 42 attempts. Ethan Pocic did not allow a single pressure on 22 snaps at left guard and center.

Seahawks again have the #1 scoring defense in the NFL. Against the Giants the Seahawks allowed 177 total yards and 1 TD, after getting the ball at the Seattle 17 yards line as a result of a Thomas Rawls fumble.

Giants had 300 combined rushing yards in previous 2 games. Seahawks allowed 46 yards and zero runs over 9 yards.

Seattle’s defense (outside of Titan’s game) has allowed 12.2 PPG and 281.4 YPG. They have not allowed more than 18 points scored against them in the other 5 games.

Featured Segment 2: Game Preview – Seattle Seahawks vs the Houston Texans.

The Texan’s come into the matchup with a record of 3-3 and 3rd place in the AFC South. The Texans have wins against the Bengals, Titans and Browns and losses against the Jaguars, Patriots and the Chiefs.  

The team is led by rooking phenom Deshaun Watson, the 12th overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft. Watson has plenty of playmakers around him but an OL almost as bad as Seattle's.  

Seattle’s offense can’t expect to face a stout run defense led by Merceilus, Clowney and McKinney. They also have a playmaker at middle linebacker in rookie, Zach Cunningham.
