“I know what you’re conceding, but I also know without any doubt that we’re getting the ball back with plenty of time to answer and rebut whatever they’ve done. It was really that simple.”

I heard something interesting about Kenneth Walker that might explain why the Seahawks were able to shut him down so easily. If you go back and watch the game, Walker is definitely moving his head around and scanning the defense before the snap on running plays, but on passing plays he doesn’t seem to do it.

That’s a pretty significant tell if it’s something he does consistently. The Seahawks know Walker better than just about anyone, so it wouldn’t surprise me if they picked up on that tendency and used it against him.
You have to wonder if that’s part of the reason they were able to contain him so well. And now that it’s being talked about, I wouldn’t be surprised if other teams start looking for the same thing. NFL defenses spend countless hours studying film, and something that simple could give them a huge advantage before the ball is even snapped.

This includes at least one miss in all four playoff games.

29 of 62 games they have missed atleast at least one kick (47%)

8 of 62 games they have missed 2 or more kicks in a game (13%). They have had FIVE different kickers miss multiple kicks in a game in this span. Carlson, narveson, McManus, havrisik, and Trey Smack.

In total, they are 78% on field goals and 92% on extra points since the start of 2023. Absolutely putrid. An organizational failure.
