Time to hunt those pesky SeaHawks

If you have ever been to the beach, especially with a tasty treat, those gulls often swoop down and try to steal that food from iur teeth.

So how do you stop them, who are they really? They have had one of the proverbial easiest schedules in the league, per Espn.

But then so too have our Ravens. However, our Ravens have also faced some of the best defenses in the league.

Let's start with their offense, Geno Smith & his company.

Smith is completing 67% of his passes, with 9 tds and 6 interceptions, with an average of 7 yards per.

His targets? Dk Metcalf, Tyler Locket, Jackson Smith-Njigba with tight end Noah Fant.

Kenneth Walker III is their main back, power, speed, shifty-ness.. A good receiver out of the back field.

They are averaging 24 pts per game, 35% on 3rd down, 42% on 4th. 107 yards per game on the ground, 4.3 per carry.

They will be the most complete offense this defense has faced. After a dismal first few years in the league, Smith has turned into a very good quarterback. Pressure in him will be key, the SeaHawks have given up 14 sacks in 7 games; hunt...

Their defense is pretty good, holding opponents to 19 pts per game, 45% on 3rd downs, 234 yards per game passing, 96 yards on the ground per game, and have created 26 sacks. Yes, the Ravens offensive line will be tested once again, but they have been battle tested.

There is a cool stat about West Coast teams coming east and playkng at 1 pm, most of them losing a large portion of their games. However, that does not apply to Seattle, who seem to thrive at 1pm games on the East Coast.

Gee, I was hoping they'd have some jet lag.

Know what you mean about the gulls...went to a fish house just recently on the water and they were active. Almost gave up and went to inside seating but stuck it out.

We will be tested and that's a good thing. The more good teams we can beat the better for our confidence. Of course, if we lose...?

Yeah, 2 hours of it was a bit much. People talking over each other drives me nuts. But some good info to sift through, Humphries having a stomach bug last week, Lamar once again having stomach issues in the Cleveland game.

Stone was hysterical, calling the Ravens wondering when they or if they really were going to draft him 😀

Eh, Moses is likely out for the game, Mekari is likely to start.

Moses has done a great job this season, especially when tasked with pulling. Mekari is a solid back up so I am not too concerned. The issue is the back up if Mekari gets hurt in the game. The big fella just is not very good at pass blocking.

I think the O-line will be OK...Mekari might even be a slight step up. Depth, as you said, is the issue.

Seattle is going to be tough. None of the games we have left are going to be easy. All the more important that we come out smokin' like we did against Detroit.

Let's get ready to RUMBLE!

Da Bears gave Sweat a sweet deal, $98 mil, some $70 + mil guarenteed, wow, and they didnt want to pay for Agent 0? A man who clearly makes a defense, a team better?

Great middle backers dont grow on trees, but Edge rushers do with the right leadership.

The stats may not show it, but neither Clowney nor VanNoy have played this well in a long, long time... Hunt!
