Hunt injured?

[ThePro]

How about we get our first blow out of the Season Monday night

That Josh Gordon shit could get out of hand.. Looks like they are going to put K'waun Williams on Lockett, Sherman on DK ( BWAAAAAA HA HA HA HA HA HA) and whomever they put on Gordon is going to get it the worst of all.

Not particularly. I'm sure they have a plan past Joey Hunt assuming he's unable to go. Joey Hunt is terrible.

If he can't play, I assume it's a wash because he's already that bad.

Well, if you want to go there Britt has been pretty fucking awful the past couple seasons. The drop-off from Hunt to Roos is certainly far greater than any drop-off from Britt to Hunt. I'm not sure really why you're so negative on Hunt anyway while bitching about everyone else not being big enough fan-boys about the team in general. Hunt filled in for 3 games last year without any noticable negative impact on the team, and he also drew praise from Carroll for the job he did last week.

So anyway, i will continue to regard the notion of putting someone at center that has never played there, let alone started a game as a pro, with concern. As far as the game in general is concerned, i don't see why it shouldn't be competitive, but at the same time it could get ugly because the strength of their D is their front 4 and the weakest link on our offense is the line.

yeah, the interesting thing about Hunt is he is a pure center, it's unusual for the Hawks to have kept him on the roster without gaining any flexibility across the Oline, that to me indicates they think pretty highly of his center abilities.

In terms of the ugliness factor and the 49ers front four, that really is the beauty of it, I keep reading about a "shell shocked" RW, he doesn't get shell shocked. Yea, i expect the 49ers to blow up that line at times, chase RW around, knock him down, and all he will do is get up and fire off a TD or whatever. They beat the Rams because they rattled Goff, he didn't have an answer, RW got answers. They will hit Russel in the mouth, he will just hit them back. The guy loves physical football, its going to take more than giving RW a hard time for the '9ers to win, he doesn't mind that...

If they follow the Cards method of attack they shouldn't have any problem. Again formula for success.

1. Quick passes ; utilize backs & TEs in passing game, would love to see some draw plays

2. Different run formations ; traps, misdirections, off tackle, not just straight power

But to me the biggest key to success.

1. T.O.P. ; keep that offense on the field as long as possible. Long drives. If you can score quick great but the longer that 9er D is out there the more chance they'll get exhausted.

2. 3rd down ; if you can't convert on 3rd you ain't gonna win many games period. Put yourself in 3rd & manageable situations

3. Do not turn the damn ball over.

San Francisco is 15th vs the run . Hawks don't have to use "different " run plays formations and power will work just fine.

Your biggest keys to success . Any random drunk at any sports bar is saying same shit.

thought Condotta pretty much hit on the major points

MATCHUP TO WATCH

San Francisco’s defensive line against Russell Wilson and Seattle’s offensive line.

If the biggest statistical mismatch in this game is Seattle’s 25th-ranked defense against the 49ers’ seventh-ranked offense (in terms of yards per game) the most enticing is Seattle’s fourth-ranked offense against the 49ers’ top-ranked defense. And the key to it all for the 49ers is a defensive line that wreaks havoc, allowing San Francisco to get consistent pressure with just a four-man rush — San Francisco has the second-lowest blitz percentage in the NFL. But SF can get away with it because four of the 49ers’ defensive linemen have four or more sacks led by the seven of Nick Bosa as the 49ers have 30 overall, tied for third in the NFL. That’s in stark contrast to Tampa Bay, which blitzed roughly two-thirds of the time last week allowing Wilson to find lots of receivers open in man coverage and carve up the Bucs for 378 yards. But that’ll be harder to do against a 49ers’ defense that usually drops seven into coverage. Seattle has allowed 22 sacks this season, an improvement from a year ago when Wilson was sacked a career-high 51 times, due in part to steadier play up front and Wilson taking fewer chances. But this game will be an obvious challenge, especially with center Joey Hunt making his second start in place of the injured Justin Britt. Hunt played well last week but this will be his toughest game yet.

COACHING DECISION TO WATCH

How much nickel will Seattle play?

Seattle’s use of nickel packages — meaning five defensive backs — has been hotly debated of late with the Seahawks continuing to struggle in pass defense (Seattle 28th in yards allowed at 278.1 per game). The Seahawks have actually used more of it the last two weeks, with nickel corner Jamar Taylor on the field for 41 and 43 percent of snaps against the Falcons and Bucs (more than all but one other game this season). But the 49ers figure to have both of their starting offensive tackles — Joe Staley and Kyle McGlinchey as well as fullback Juszczyk back for this game (Juszczyk hasn’t played since week 5) which might compel the 49ers to run even more, and might mean Seatte will want to leave its base defense on the field more often to combat a rushing attack that ranks second in the NFL at 171.2 per game. Conversely, leaving tight end George Kittle — whose status remains in question due to knee and ankle injuries — on a linebacker might be a tough matchup. Lots to consider for the struggling Seattle defense.


PLAYER TO WATCH

RB Chris Carson

While San Francisco’s pass defense has been among the best in the NFL this season, the 49ers have been more mortal against the run. The 49ers are allowing 4.7 yards per carry, more than all but five other teams in the league (and the same as the Seahawks). The argument in the Bay Area would be that a lot of those were garbage time yards. But the Seahawks will take note that Arizona got 153 yards on 23 carries last Thursday. 6.7 per attempt, and try to replicate that with Carson, and maybe with some Rashaad Penny carries thrown in, as well, to not just help the passing attack but also shorten the game. Carson has been a steady performer all year with 90 or more yards in five of his last six games, but has to curtail the fumble bug that crept up again last week from resurfacing further.

THE X-FACTOR

WR Josh Gordon

Will he or won’t he play and how much? Gordon practiced for the first time Thursday but remained limited due to an ankle injury, on top of having to quickly assimilate a new playbook and offense. The thought is that if he’s healthy, then the Seahawks will try to get him out there in at least a limited capacity. Seattle could desperately use a reliable third receiving threat to go along with Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf with tight end Will Dissly lost for the year. Even one big play or two could turn the tide in a game like this.

WILD-CARD PLAYER WHO COULD SURPRISE

PK Jason Myers

The patience of Seattle fans with Myers may have reached a tipping point last week when he missed two field goals and an extra point, including a 40-yarder on the final play of regulation that instead forced the Seahawks to have to win it in overtime to fall to 12-17 on field goals and 24-26 on PATs. But Myers is also just a year removed from having made 33-36 with the Jets and earning a Pro Bowl berth and the Seahawks are professing faith that he will turn things around quickly. Seattle could have a kicking edge in this game as the 49ers are likely to have to go with newly-signed backup rookie Chase McLaughlin in place of injured veteran Robbie Gould. McLaughlin has made five of seven field goals this season in a brief stint as an injury fill-in for the Chargers. He was the Big Ten Kicker of the Year last season as a senior at Illinois.

KEY STAT

65.7

That’s the passer rating allowed by the 49ers’ defense this season, second-lowest in the NFL behind only New England. Wilson, meanwhile, leads the NFL with a rating of 118.2 that is also on pace to be a career high. He has had only one passer rating lower than 100 — 65.2 in a home loss to Earl Thomas and the Ravens. Now he faces another former Legion of Boomer, Richard Sherman, and what has become one of the best secondaries in the NFL. Something has to give and whichever side gets closest to its usual number here probably wins the game.

I won't say blow out... I won't even say win. But this is embarrassing. To some here it's like some teams don't get better as the season progresses. It's like NFL teams go 16-0 every year. We're only 26-5-1 in primetime games under Carroll... He's only got like the best November/December winning % ever. Why should we even play going forward? Lets just not show up Monday because Nick Bosa has some sacks. However will we survive? Fucking cowards. We're seriously here because Joey "I shouldn't be in the NFL" Hunt hurt his hip?

Dude, maybe you just aren't cut out of these types of forums. Settle the eff down. Seahawk fans in general aren't pessimistic. This forum in not particularly pessimistic.

No. I'd just love for once for the fans of this forum to not go into every game acting like we're about to get smoked.

This forum, and maybe it's because of the M's, is particularly defeatist... it doesn't matter who we're playing.

If we win Monday, and who knows, maybe we will... the same actors in the game thread will do their typical dance, "Oh... hmm... well we pulled it off, what do you know?"

Then the next week... "OMG JOEY HUNT MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO PLAY!!! WHAT EVER WILL WE DO!!!???"

You do understand you are either wildly exaggerating or flat out making shit up and then arguing with it. This is called a straw man argument.
"for once", "every game", "acting like we're about to get smoked". - This is total BS. The posts on this forum don't back any of that up.
I don't know what the M's have to do with any of this. I personally don't watch the Ms, so you won't see me comment on them.
I haven't heard one single person write that we have no chance against the 49ers.
One or two people who take an ultra negative track in game threads don't speak for the whole forum, although game threads can get negative. You should definitely avoid them.
The subject of this thread is: "Hunt injured?"
You translate that for us to mean "OMG JOEY HUNT MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO PLAY!!! WHAT EVER WILL WE DO!!!???"
I rest my case.
