Friday I went over the most fundamental concepts of the Air Coryell system of offense the Seattle Seahawks are using this season under offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer. The much anticipated Part 2 is on the way http://www.seahawkslockerroom.com/authentic-shaquem-griffin-jersey , however, to lay the foundation for the second installment, one of the things that is necessary is to see the way the Hawks offense is attacking defenses so far this season. Thus, here is a still shot from each of the 16 touchdown passes that Russell Wilson has thrown so far this season with a notation of the coverage the defense secondary is playing. Touchdown 1: Week 1 against the Denver Broncos to Will Dissly - defensive coverage involves a single high safety. Touchdown 2: Week 1 against the Denver Broncos to Brandon Marshall - defensive coverage involves a single high safety. Touchdown 3: Week 1 against the Denver Broncos to Tyler Lockett - defensive coverage involves a single high safety. Touchdown 4: Week 2 against the Chicago Bears to Tyler Lockett - defensive coverage involves a no safety over the top. Touchdown 5: Week 2 against the Chicago Bears to Will Dissly - defensive coverage involves a two high safeties.One thing to note on this play is that the defense is playing cover-2, and this is a perfect example of the five receiver route combinations the Air Coryell offense focuses. Brandon Marshall at far left of the screen is holding one of the safeties. Meanwhile the two receivers on the right side of the screen, Tyler Lockett and Doug Baldwin, are running routes that should be successful against man coverage. Lockett runs a curl just past the end zone line and Baldwin runs a route that goes deep into the end zone, and likely would have come across the back of the end zone if Wilson hadn’t delivered the ball quickly. There are two linebackers in the middle of the field playing zone coverage right at the goal line. The linebacker on the offensive right side initially takes Dissly as he runs a shallow crossing route across the front of the end zone, and as far linebacker passes Dissly to the near side linebacker as Dissly crosses, which frees the far side backer up to slide towards Lockett in case Lockett is running a crossing route. This should leave Dissly covered one on one by the near side linebacker, however, the nearside linebacker has noticed Rashaad Penny sliding out of the backfield and into the pattern and has stepped up to cover Penny. This is the exact type of matchup the Air Coryell system is designed to create against zone coverage - the linebacker has to choose very early in the play whether to cover Dissly coming across the end zone or to pick up Penny. If he takes Dissly, the pass should go to Penny who will need to only break a single tackle to score. If the linebacker takes Penny, as he did on this play, it leaves Dissly completely uncovered. In any case Russell Wilson Jersey , this play is a fantastic example of the Air Coryell fundamentals deployed on the field. Touchdown 6: Week 3 against the Dallas Cowboys to Jaron Brown - defensive coverage is cover-3. Touchdown 7: Week 3 against the Dallas Cowboys to Tyler Lockett - defensive coverage is cover-3. Touchdown 8: Week 5 against the Los Angeles Rams to Tyler Lockett - defensive coverage has no high safety. Touchdown 9: Week 5 against the Los Angeles Rams to David Moore - defensive coverage has no high safety. Touchdown 10: Week 5 against the Los Angeles Rams to David Moore - defensive coverage has two safeties stacked on top of each other. Touchdown 11: Week 6 against the Oakland Raiders to Jaron Brown - defensive coverage has one high safety. Touchdown 12: Week 6 against the Oakland Raiders to David Moore - defensive coverage has one high safety. Touchdown 13: Week 6 against the Oakland Raiders to Tyler Lockett - defensive coverage has two high safeties. Touchdown 14: Week 8 against the Detroit Lions to Tyler Lockett - defensive coverage has one high safety. Touchdown 15: Week 8 against the Detroit Lions to David Moore - defensive coverage has one high safety. Touchdown 16: Week 8 against the Detroit Lions to Ed Dickson - defensive coverage has one high safety.And that’s all 16 touchdowns that Wilson has throw so far in 2018, and there was no safety or a single safety deep on 14 of the 16 touchdowns. Over the past two seasons, the Seattle Seahawks found themselves on the road in Week 1 and proceeded to lose. They have been one of the worst September road teams in the NFL for more than a decade...."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections VideosCoffee and CigarettesGame AnalysisThe Numbers GameCigar Thoughts2019 Seahawks Schedule: Seattle has been almost unbeatable at CenturyLink Field in SeptemberNew,3commentsPDTShareTweetShareShare2019 Seahawks Schedule: Seattle has been almost unbeatable at CenturyLink Field in SeptemberJames Snook-USA TODAY SportsOver the past two seasons, the Seattle Seahawks found themselves on the road in Week 1 and proceeded to lose. They have been one of the worst September road teams in the NFL for more than a decade.But at home, more specifically the fortress we now know as CenturyLink Field? It’s been as dominant as you might expect.Dating back to 2002, when “Seahawks Stadium” first opened for business, Seattle is a staggering 26-3 in the opening month of the regular season. That’s the second-most wins in the league during that span, and the .897 win percentage edges out the Denver Broncos (who are 29-4). Those three losses came against the Arizona Cardinals in 2002 (in the team’s first home game at CLink), the San Francisco 49ers in 2008 (which doubles as Seattle’s last defeat in a home opener), and the Chicago Bears in the ill-fated green jersey game in 2009. The common theme is that the 2002, 2008, and 2009 teams all didn’t come remotely close to making the playoffs. Of their 29 wins, 17 were by double-digits and three of them were shutouts. In the Pete Carroll era, they are perfect in September home games Doug Baldwin Jersey , even with close calls against the San Diego Chargers (2010), Arizona Cardinals (2011), Green Bay Packers (2012), Denver Broncos (2014), Miami Dolphins (2016), San Francisco 49ers (2017).This year, the Seahawks open the 2019 regular season against the Cincinnati Bengals, whose last CenturyLink Field appearance was a 34-12 victory in 2011. One of those September home wins did come vs. Cincy, when Seattle rallied to beat the Bengals 24-21 in the 2007 season on a Matt Hasselbeck strike to Nate Burleson. The other September game is vs. Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints, who’ve not been to Seattle since the 2013-14 NFC Divisional Round, which Seattle won 23-15. We all remember the 34-7 Monday Night Football beatdown, one of the finest regular season wins in franchise history.Based on the historical form guide that has held true from bad Seahawks teams to great ones, we should expect Seattle to be at least 2-2 at the end of this September.
