Thoughts/Opinions about Seattle-much tougher game then many realize

Been sick for several weeks with pneumonia, wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

Seattle is coming into this game as a desperate team, which makes them very dangerous, as they have lost 2 games in a row and now face Dallas/SFO/Eagles then next three weeks. This game also is a real "trap game" for the Cowboys as the Eagles rematch is next week. This is a big conference game that could be very important in the tie-breakers for the playoffs.

Offense

-Seattle is a very physical defense from top to bottom, the Cowboys much match their physicality. They cannot be bullied liked the 49ers did to them earlier in the season.

-Their run defense is average, teams have taken advantage of their over aggressiveness, sounds a lot like the Cowboys.

-Big, physical, long corners. They are going to try to mess up the timing, the Cowboy receivers need to win at the line of scrimmage.

-Mafe gave this team fits in the preseason and is a legitimate pass rusher.

Defense

-Looks like their starting RB Walker will miss the game, but have a good #2 back in Charbonnet, who I wanted the Cowboys to draft. Downhill, physical runner with receiving ability. Not a home run threat, but a runner who can grind out the sticks.

-One of the most talented receiving groups in the entire league. Kind of a better version of the Commanders. Two excellent, underneath route runners and 1 alpha. They also have a good rookie in Bobo and a quality TE in Fant. Cowboys need to disrupt their timing and be mindful of the deep shots they will take.

-Geno Smith tends to hold onto the football an extra second to create a big, passing play, he is also very good at breaking the pocket to run for a 1st down. This is an area that has hurt the Cowboy Defense in the past.

-Right side of their OL is very beatable, Jason Peters actually has started multiple games at RT. This is the area to attack.

Special Teams

-Jason Myers missed a very easy game winner against the Rams two weeks ago.

-DeeJay Dallas is a quality returner
