I really like Russell Wilson: he is my favorite Seahawk. However, having said that, I believe Aaron will be on a mission to make Russell his personal bitch tomorrow. The Horns need this win to establish the rhythm for the 2nd half of this season, and Aaron, as the top defensive leader, is going to deliver.
I do not know how big A'Shawn "ARob" Robinson will be in his very first game as a Horn, but defending a 330-pound NT AND The Kraken! is a tall order no interior OL has had to face for quite a while. ARob's influence will grow even more in the following games as he rounds into game shape. Our edge rushers will have eight games to really grow & flesh out their techniques as they shape up for the playoffs. It is high time for our LB crew to truly become a relevant unit on this defense.
Our megabuck CB/S, Jalen Ramsey, is back in time to face our biggest divisional foe. Jalen knows a thing or two about making statements with your play, and, like Aaron, he needs to ramp up his play to set the pace for the rest of this season, including the upcoming playoffs. Our magical Leprechaun must have his revenge against all the idiots who think they have him figured out, and Jalen is very good at establishing exclamation points.
Speaking about The Revenge of the Leprechaun seasonal theme, it is about time for Sean and Jared to really start forging an offensive juggernaut. We can't have all this uber player talent going to waste. Gerald Everett, Cam Akers, and Van Jefferson need to really develop some positive consistency moving forward. By the time the post season arrives, they cannot afford to still be part-time players or rookies experience-wise. Going 5-3 or 6-2 in the season's 2nd half would be respectable, but I would very much prefer we go 7-1 or run the table completely!
It's arse-kicking time!!!
