Hawks vs Cardigans game thread

You aren't going to believe this but I literally google Flintstones TV set hoping there would be some sort of small Dinosaur running it and then I would suggest that for you. lol

I just wonder how many cavemen got killed on construction sites from falling off the Brachiosaurs.

Thing I like about this Hawks team is that they all just like each other so much.

They're all celebrating the shit out of everyone all the time.

There's no drama.

Which is 100% why Geno would never work under MM.

Which is why I think they signed Shaheed. He loves it here and seems to be loved by the guys. I don't think Walker was going to accept another role were he only got 55% of the carries, and I don't know that I blame him. But it's probably what would have been best for this team.

But, I totally thought that yesterday while I was bitching and moaning about how bad Shaheed looks. Why second guess what they have done to create this team?

was thinking with the signing of Rasheed they might be looking to open up the passing game with more three receiver sets but so far it's been the opposite

The game plan was different this week, but one thing is already emerging about Fleury. Seattle has the lowest rate of 11 personnel (3 WRs) in the NFL through two weeks (32.2%). Last week, that was a ton of two tight end sets. This week, he had Nick Kallerup active and used 13 personnel (3 TEs) on 22% of their plays.

He is making heavy TE usage a staple of the offense so far. That will make it harder for WRs (outside of JSN) to get as many snaps and targets.

We will see what comes of the Beau Stephens and Christian Haynes split at right guard if Anthony Bradford misses more time. Both players had good moments on Sunday. Haynes had the better overall game, but it speaks volumes that John Benton and the coaching staff wanted to get the rookie on the field this early

So... was Lock that good, or was Fleury's play-calling the difference? Or are the Cards that bad?

It's still early, but I suspect Fleury is actually good as OC. Other than the failed dives at the goal line, which was ridiculous.
Shaheed deserves the heat he's taking, but I think he could wake up and make us forget about it. But it will be on ST, not WR.

If he wants them to keep liking him he better stop dropping the ball and fumbling on kickoffs. What well

Well that's why they traded for him so I doubt that's changed

One clear change made by Seahawks OC Brian Fleury is removing a tell from last season.
Seattle motioned on 32% of runs and 85% of passes in the Super Bowl. A clear sign a pass was coming.
Seattle has motioned on 60.0% of runs and 55.6% of passes this season. No clear pattern.

Not sure how much statistical data should be taken comparing one game from last year to the first two from this year. Kind of a small sample size, and likely based on what matchups they liked.

McVay after the game, at least he is owning it
