4. Outside of Jadeveon Clowney and Bobby Wagner, who is the biggest contributor on the defensive side of the ball that the Bucs should be worried about?
Answer: The problem for the Seahawks defense has been mostly scheme instead of personnel. Clowney has been great and Wagner has been Wagner. But cornerback Shaquill Griffin is having a fantastic season.
Seattle will also get back Bradley McDougald this week to pair with rookie Marquise Blair. Blair has been very good the last two games. Also, cornerback Tre Flowers should return this week as well. But Griffin is the player to keep an eye on, other than Clowney and Wagner.
5. What are your final predictions for the game? Score, biggest contributor on offensive/defensive side of the ball?
Answer: I hate to pick the Seahawks, to be honest, as I feel like I jinx them. Should Seattle win because they are at home and have the better quarterback? Yes. But while Seattle is 4-0 on the road in 2019 they are just 2-2 at home.
I think the Bucs find a way to win, but mostly because I hate to pick Seattle as I jinx them. As far as biggest contributors, Seattle’s offense begins and ends with Russell Wilson. If he is on, as he almost always is, Seattle will be in the game with a chance to win. Defensively, Ziggy Ansah has to show up at some point and make some plays, otherwise the pass rush for the Seahawks will suffer again and allow the Bucs to pass with ease.
