How the Seahawks will be 4-0 heading into the October showdown with the Rams

Time to kick sand in the Cardinals faces

Ah yes, the thorn in the side of the Seahawks, the Arizona Cardinals. We can expect a tough game because over the past four contests, Seattle is just 1-2-1 against the chirping birds. At least Bruce Arians won’t be chirping this season. One odd thing about that record, is that when the Cardinals were good the Seahawks spanked them regularly. From 2013-2015 Arizona had a combined record of 34-14, yet Seattle was 4-2 against them. And we know how tough it’s been to beat them lately, despite their overall record of 15-16-1 the past two seasons.

The good news is this is a road game, and the Hawks haven’t lost in Arizona since John Skelton was their quarterback. That was 2012, and yes, Seattle lost to John Skelton. Actually Kevin Kolb came on in relief for the winning drive. But is that really any better?

No matter, we’re looking forward, not back. We looked to FanSided’s Cardinals site raisingzona.com for some inside news, and we weren’t disappointed. One big question for 12s is, which quarterback will the Seahawks face? Will it be veteran Sam Bradford, or young gun Josh Rosen? Raising Zona’s Rucker Haringey has some thoughts on that:

"As long as Bradford stays healthy, he should be the safer bet under center. Veteran quarterbacks tend to turn the ball over less frequently than rookies. Bradford might not present the same upside that Rosen could provide the Cardinals offense, but he’s much less likely to lose the team a game."

We’re also looking forward to Frank Clark and his playmates taking down whoever starts for the Cardinals. I see a signature effort here for the Seahawks defensive line, with no less than five sacks in this game.
