Seahawks vs Falcons Preview
The Falcons have been one, if not the most disappointing teams of the season as they boast just a 1-6 record, despite carrying multiple Pro Bowl caliber weapons. The lack of tallies in the win column have put Atlanta skipper Dan Quinn on the hot seat as his former team comes to town.
After beating the Eagles in Week 2, the Falcons have dropped five straight,
“For sure it’s been challenging, but I’ve never been one who felt like I’m out of the fight,” Quinn. “Some of the best things I’ve done, my back was against the wall. I don’t ever mind being in that position.”
Quinn reportedly got some backup from star wide receiver Julio Jones last week.
“At the end of the day, we’re out there on the field. Coach Quinn is not on the field,” Jones said according to Vaughn McClure of ESPN. “I don’t know as far as defensive calls and things like that, how he does that, but the effort is there. I just feel like us, as competitors and professionals, we can do a better job of going out there and gelling together more.”
Quarterback Matt Ryan is dealing with an ankle sprain, but even if healthy, will be down a weapon. Atlanta trade away Mohamed Sanu to New England for a 2020 second-round pick this week, putting a bigger focus on second-year wide receiver Calvin Ridley.
“Mo meant a lot to me,” Ridley said. “I learned a crazy amount from him, all about my game. He was the juice, the energy in our room.”
The Seahawks are coming off a 30-16 loss to the Ravens and need a win to keep pace in what has become an ultra-competitive NFC West. The 49ers lead the way currently with an undefeated 6-0 record.
“This is just one of those circumstances,” Carroll said. “It certainly isn’t going to affect our players. As long as it doesn’t affect me and a couple of the guys that are friends and all that, it’s fine.”
The Seahawks and Falcons have a had some classic games in recent years, so to stumble upon a team that played for the Super Bowl just a few seasons ago.
“It’s definitely a little surprising,” Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner said. “It’s one of those teams that you can’t take lightly. You can’t look at their record and think that that’s what it is, the way D.Q. is, the way that he gets those guys prepared.”
The Seahawks are a 7-point road favorite for the game, with a posted total of 53.
