Week 4 – Seahawks at Dolphins Preview<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Here it is, likely the toughest game of the season is this weekend! Maybe second behind the home game against KC, but we’ll worry about them when it’s time to play them.<\/p>\n

Miami in Week 3 had an opportunity to Put Up or Shut Up<\/a> against Jacksonville after starting 0-2, but they were able to get the job done to prevent them from getting to 0-3, which is a huge hill to climb to make the postseason had Miami lost.<\/p>\n

With the injuries that the San Francisco 49ers are facing, Arizona yet to be proven, and the Rams up against the cap and coming off missing the playoffs, it seems as if the Seattle Seahawks are in the driver’s seat in the NFC West at this point in time.<\/p>\n

Seattle’s first 3 games of their season have all been shootouts, they are definitely “letting Russ cook.” It’s crazy, in the first few years of the Russell Wilson era, the Seattle Seahawks were known to have that dominant defense, led by their secondary, which was “The Legion of Boom.” Their offense was middle of the pack while their defense led the way.<\/p>\n

With all the turnover on the Seahawks roster the last few years, now their biggest strength is their offense. Russell Wilson<\/a> is 1st in TD passes, 4th in the NFL in passing yards, a 77% completion percentage. Wilson’s teammate DK Metcalf<\/a>, is currently 3rd in receiving yards, and Tyler Lockett<\/a> is 10th. Two Seattle receivers in the top 10 in yards means that the Dolphins have to buckle down in the Secondary against the two-headed monster at WR.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Secondary, Miami CB Byron Jones(groin\/Achilles) was listed as doubtful against the Seahawks this Sunday after missing last Thursday’s victory against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Another injury in the secondary is S Kavon Frazier, also listed as doubtful for this weekend. It looks like S Clayton Fejedelem will suit up for the first time this season after experiencing a pectoral injury throughout training camp and the first few weeks of the season.<\/p>\n
