Three-Point Stance: Seattle Seahawks – New England Patriots Blog – ESPN Boston
Couple interesting nuggets of note on Seahawks below. Everyone’s going to point to Russel Wilson and say he doesn’t have a chance to put up a lot of points but we said the same thing about Kevin Kolb. If the Seahawks can get pressure with their front four, which they probably should be able to do, and Wilson just doesn’t turn the ball over more than once, the Seahawks will have be in this one no matter how much their offense sputters.
The Seahawks feature a ferocious four-man pass rush that has recorded a sack once every 10.8 dropbacks, second best in the league. First-round draft pick Bruce Irvin (4.5 sacks) and veteran rusher Chris Clemons (5.5 sacks) are one of two sets of teammates with at least four sacks so far this season (Geno Atkins and Michael Johnson of the Bengals). Overall, Seahawks defensive linemen have accounted for 14.5 sacks this season, trailing only the Bears (16) among NFL defensive line groupings.
Russell Wilson, the rookie from Wisconsin, has thrown an interception once every 20.8 attempts.
