3 projected starters Seahawks fans should be worried about vs Titans

Tre Flowers

Flowers was better than most 12s expected he would be in week one. He only had one major breakdown and that was at the end of the game in garbage time. However, for those 12s who stressed about Flowers being named a starter before the beginning of the season, Flowers giving up a touchdown so easily at the end of week one should not go unnoticed.

Tennessee has better receivers than did the Colts. Flowers and Seattle’s other corners were playing against an Indy team that was without their best receiver, T.Y. Hilton. Arguably, Tennessee has three receivers better than any receiver the Colts had on their active roster for week one in Julio Jones, A.J. Brown and Josh Reynolds (Reynolds will play in week 2 after missing the opener).

Jones and Brown and Reynolds are all tall as well and Jones and Brown can be pretty physical. In previous seasons, Flowers gave too much cushion and quarterbacks will throw underneath for easy completions against Flowers. In week one, Flowers didn’t lay off as much as he probably didn’t fear the Colts receiver. Week two is completely different, though.

Flowers is a decent tackler but I could see the game starting with him too far back, Ryan Tannehill getting a rhythm going by completing short out passes until Flowers begins to play up and then gets beat deep once or twice. That alone could allow the Titans to win the game.
