Peter King Names 2 Seahawks Among Players of the Week
The Seahawks Week 1 win in Atlanta brought out stars on both sides of the ball. Chris Carson hauled in 2 touchdown receptions. Quandre Diggs snagged his very first interception of the season– and his fourth in 7 career games as a Seahawk. However nobody stuck out more than Russell Wilson and Jamal Adams.
Wilson and Adams were named as Offensive and Defensive Players of the Week, respectively, in Peter Kings weekly “Football Morning In America” column. Seattle was the only group with a gamer noted on both offense and defense. Heres what King needed to say about Wilsons game:
The Seahawks 38 points were their most in a season-opener in Wilsons profession. It was simply the third time in his nine Week 1 video games that the Seahawks scored over 30 points (2014, 2015). Seahawks.com reporter John Boyle has more here on Wilsons beast day.
” Another case of extraordinary efficiency by an unbelievable quarterback,” King wrote. Possibly this is finally the year Wilson wins his evasive MVP, or at least gets his first MVP vote.”
When it comes to Adams, he made rather the entryway in his Seahawks debut. Heres what King needed to say about his performance:
The Seahawks Week 1 win in Atlanta brought out stars on both sides of the ball. Wilson and Adams were named as Offensive and Defensive Players of the Week, respectively, in Peter Kings weekly “Football Morning In America” column. It was simply the third time in his 9 Week 1 games that the Seahawks scored over 30 points (2014, 2015). “Adams was fantastic in his Seahawks debut as Seattle beat the Falcons 38-25, leading all tacklers with 12, sacking Matt Ryan when and pressing him twice more, with 2 more deals with for loss. Adams finest play of the day: With Calvin Ridley on a Jet sweep at the Seattle 19-yard line, Adams swooped in and stoned Ridley for a loss of one.”
” Lets hope those three huge draft choices Jets GM Joe Douglas got for this latter-day Kam Chancellor settle,” King composed. “Adams was excellent in his Seahawks launching as Seattle beat the Falcons 38-25, leading all tacklers with 12, sacking Matt Ryan once and pushing him twice more, with two more takes on for loss. He made his presence felt with a huge first-half hit on Julio Jones. Adams finest play of the day: With Calvin Ridley on a Jet sweep at the Seattle 19-yard line, Adams dove in and stoned Ridley for a loss of one.”
We understood Adams was great, however this was an unbelievable showing. His 12 deals with matched a career-high for a game, and this was the first time in his four-year profession that he tape-recorded a sack in Week 1. In Adams three previous Week 1 games, he had 14 tackles in total. Safe to say the Seahawks star is fitting right in with his new team. Boyle has more here on Adams spectacular launching.
