Seattle Seahawks @ Arizona Cardinals Pre Game Thread. 09/22/25-09/24/25

With Zay Jones out, would like to see if Fehoko gets an opportunity. Can’t be any more of a non factor as ZJ.

This is the Cardinals. It can always get worse.

True

Alas.....

Just thought I'd let you all know, I'm having heart surgery tomorrow. Not invasive, it's through an artery kinda thing. Patch a hole in ventricles. Should be all good. Prolly won't be able to watch the game. That should help!!

Take care and we'll be thinking of you

Wish you the best

Fehoko looked good this preseason, I remember him being surprised when he was cut. I'm hoping that will give him extra motivation, I do think he has the potential to make big plays.

What To Know Before Cardinals-Seahawks: Leave For The Game Early

So... Back on the topic of whether the Cardinals have changed their blocking schemes with Klayton Adams being replaced by Frye... can one of our resident O-line experts (@Harry , @BACH ?) tell us whether this was also the case last year?

Perfect! They’re giving up more than we are averaging!!! Bonanza!

When the Seahags shut us out this board is going to go nuclear

well, one must also consider their opponents...have they played anybody that runs better than us?
I mean, we have not looked real good...but new orleans at least has shown they stuff the run pretty good...not surre on carolina.... maybe our run game isnt as bad as we thought but we have played a few top notch run stuffing teams....
in which case, we may run all over seattle?


a little research shows we have played the 14th, 15th, and 25th ranked rush defenses so far...
and we are the 4th ranked rushing defense per NFL dot com stats

the seahags are ranked 7th currently




but seattle has faced the 18th, 26th, and 31st ranked rushing offenses...we are 16th
so we are a better rushing team than anyone they have faced so far

based on those statistics we should exceed the average yards per rush that seattle has allowed so far

Very true, but I also don't think they will need them. I said something like 24-3 above because I think our defense is decent enough not to get boat raced (this number excludes any defensive TDs).

But there's a decent chance the offense has a "screw it" game and Kyler takes the training wheels off (in which case there may very well be a defensive score for Seattle).

But I've realised that ultimately, I don't really care. Will be nice to win, but I'm fully expecting a loss.

Sadly the training wheels won’t come off until we are 14-17 pts down.

Seahawks have a 7-game winning streak vs. Cardinals entering Thursday's game

The Seattle Seahawks have a seven-game winning streak over the Arizona Cardinals heading into Thursday night's game in Glendale, Arizona. The Cardinals haven't won a game in the series since

Awesome. If you flipped a coming 7 times and it came up heads, offs are eighth time it will come up…. Nevermind.

Good chance and don’t be surprised they thrown to him .. once.

No Conner is huge. Need a physical back in a game like this.

Wishing you well and a speedy recovery.

Our secondary got worked on Sunday IMO, especially Max Melton. It really felt like Mac Jones could do whatever he wanted. The passes over the middle of the field were there whenever he wanted them.

Seems like the key to the game will be getting MHJ involved early, winning the turnover battle, and obviously if they can put pressure on Darnold that will bode well, but I’m not so sure about that last one since Rallis really only sends 4.

It was Clark and Burke who got worked. Melton played fine.

 

[JosiahLee]

It was Clark and Burke who got worked. Melton played fine.

For what it’s worth, according to PFF he was significantly worse on Sunday than the other two.

I think that's because of Conner and we'll probably change it but not sure we have had time to put in much change.

I kind of expect we'll see less 3 TE I think they'll figure they have to open it up a bit without Conner

 

[Dayman]

For what it’s worth, according to PFF he was significantly worse on Sunday than the other two.

For the season, PFF has him rated at 108/158 for CBs.

PFF grades for anything but O and D line you gotta take with a big grain of salt

Pro Football Reference has him giving up a 69% completion percentage and 8.7 yards/target for a passer rating of 95.6.

They also have him with a missed tackle % of 26.7, which is pretty brutal.

Apparently we were majority gap scheme last year too so may just be teams expecting gap and adjusting to the tape.

We were 69% gap last year. We were 88% through the first 2 games so 80% now suggests we we ran much less gap vs the Niners.
