Bears elevate QB David Fales from practice squad
The Seahawks lost 34-31 in OT at St. Louis in the season opener and then Seattle lost at Green Bay last week, 27-17. Fuller was benched late in the game against the Arizona Cardinals last week.
But with a home tie against the Bears, themselves without a win, the Seahawks have the best chance of all the 0-2 teams to notch their first win. Wilson has become ultra-conservative with the ball, and he’s begun taking check-downs even when he has open players downfield. The Seahawks haven’t exactly been shy about running Wilson in games; he did rush for more than 800 yards a year ago.
It really hasn’t been the torrid start hoped for from Marshawn Lynch this season and now he’s dealing with a calf problem that head coach Pete Carroll said is significant enough to make him a game-time decision.
But me and (Aaron Rodgers) the last few days have been talking and talking and talking and talking and talking and talking and talking about what he’s looking for, where he needs me to be, and things like that. I certainly don’t know what else Richard can do other than play a less formidable opponent. Will they be energetic on the sideline?
One of those sides sitting at 0-2 is the Philadelphia Eagles and they have got off to a tumultuous start to the season. It’s clear John Fox and his staff have no intentions of risking either player in a game this early in the season. Expect Burley to match up on him better than he did against the Packers’ receiving corps.
Facing the Seahawks already represented a tough matchup for Chicago, especially with the news Kam Chancellor ended his holdout. “His 6’4”, 230 pound frame almost gives him a tight end’s physique. “With the scheme and personnel-wise, they’re going to put the best person on the field to get the job done”. So that’s what we do.
The Seahawks are angry after two close defeats, both of which they were in position to win. Don’t do anything to snowball the game in the Seahawks favor.
While the Seattle Seahawks once again face opposition from the NFC North in Week 3, there are a number of changes the Hawks will count on to help the team get back to its winning ways. Royal led the Bears with seven catches against the Cardinals, although for only 41 total yards. He did that. For the first time since 2011, and just the second time in his career, the Packers are 1-0.
Russell Wilson (3) of the Seattle Seahawks in action against the San Diego Chargers in the NFL. “In general, though, the line does not push too many off the play if they really believe that one team is more dominant”.
If Lynch can’t suit up, ninth-year veteran Fred Jackson and undrafted rookie Thomas Rawls would carry the load alongside Wilson. Graham could be solid option after questions all week on getting him more involved. However, none of the three is likely to cover Graham all that often-if at all. When that happens, it’s hard to imagine them putting many points on the board. The Bears are an absolute mess and it’s going to be a long day up in Seattle. Josh McCown may be back in contention this week for the Browns after sitting out week two with a concussion but Jay Cutler of the Bears and the Saints’ Drew Brees are both now listed as questionable. Jeffery was relatively quiet against Green Bay but did catch a huge third-down pass to keep the Bears’ opening drive alive, which led to a field goal. They had six quarterback hits on statue like quarterback Carson Palmer last week, but couldn’t seal the deal.
