We are joined by Matt Hasselbeck for our weekly visit as the 3-1 Seahawks take on the 4-0 San Francisco 49ers. It was a sloppy Seattle win against the Chargers. We discuss whether…

Seattle flushed Herbert while blitzing less than the league
Seattle did it while blitzing less than most teams. It sent extra rushers on 24.4 percent of Herbert's dropbacks, below the league's 31.4 percent. When it didn't blitz, Herbert averaged minus 0.267 EPA a dropback. Seattle sacked him four times.
Ernest Jones and Drake Thomas made Seahawks history together Sunday
No pair of Seahawks linebackers had an interception, a quarterback hit and a tackle for loss apiece in the same game before, in the years with complete data for all three. Across the whole NFL it has happened only twice since 2008: Sunday, and Karlos Dansby and Daryl Washington for Arizona against Carolina in 2013.

Follow @hawkblogger →Seahawks make the signing of Robert Jones Jr. official. AJ Finley was released, and could be signed back to the practice squad. Jacardia Wright was placed on practice squad IR.
Nice. Also, about that Seahawks pass rush…
I do wonder if the Seahawks failing Joe Mixon on his physical had something to do with getting Robert Henry Jr. from the Commanders. They might not have known they could get him earlier. Once signed, they were free to move off Nixon.
Makes me wonder about the health of Nate Landman.

My wife has worked supporting families with disabled children for years, and has built a really cool new practice for 1:1 support & parent's retreats. She can help with IEP planning, DDA and SSI paperwork, navigating the system, guardianship, and a lot more. There are limited spots open for their first retreat.
We heard from @Hasselbeck about what he saw from the Seahawks in this last game, and what he thinks about the use of Rashid Shaheed in the backfield while starting to turn our attention to this 49ers matchup
Let's talk with @Hasselbeck about this game Come on over!
The Seahawks are using @3mmanwori differently so far this season. The results as an edge rusher are encouraging and something to watch the rest of the way.
Just your typical safety with a pass rush win rate higher than most edge rushers in the NFL. @3mmanwori is 1/1
