Hawk/Dolphins Game Thread

[RiverDog]

We haven't had one of these in a long time.

Hawks get an interception off a tipped pass. Easy interception. Couldn't see who tipped it, looked like a linebacker.

[RiverDog]

Cody Barton tipped the intercepted pass, had good coverage.

Carson looked good on his first carry, pile driving like always. He touched the ball 4 straight times and looks strong and healthy. Really nice looking first drive, went through them like a hot knife cuts through butter.

[RiverDog]

On 3rd and 4, Fitzpatrick got called for illegal forward pass, but he wasn't going to get a first down anyway. A rare 3 and out for our D.

[RiverDog]

Replay showed that the illegal forward pass against Miami was very, very close.

Dickson's punt took a bad backwards bounce, no one available to down it.

Metcalf had a chance to get a first down on a perfect pass from Russ. Hit almost immediately but still should have made the catch.

Fitzpatrick starting to get hot, getting plenty of time. Amadi made a nice play on a defended pass inside the 10. Ryan Neal made a great play avoiding spearing a receiver with his helmet, delivering a snot knocking hit and forcing a FG attempt. Gotta give the defense a C on that drive. Fitzpatrick has had to scramble a couple of times but we haven't come close to sacking him behind the LOS.

[RiverDog]

Russell looks sharp...again. Getting decent protection. Lockett drops his first targeted pass, would have been a 15-20 yard gain. Apparent mix up on a pass to David Moore on 3rd and 8, looked surprised when the ball went over his head. Nice FG by Myers, 55 yards.

[RiverDog]

KJ should have intercepted a pass inside the 5 on a 3rd and short, but Hawks get their 2nd red zone stop. Defense still giving up a ton of yards but not a lot of points.

Really good kickoff by the Fish, ball bounced near the sidelines but not enough distance to carry into the end zone, Hawks having to start at their own 11.

Wilson is 11 of 15. At least two of the incompletions were on perfect throws that were dropped, a third on one where there appeared to be a breakdown in communication. Protection has been adequate, took a pretty good hit on a 3rd down completion. No penalties on the offense yet. Carson still running strong.

[RiverDog]

Carson got roughed up pretty good, fumbled but Hawks recovered. Carson injured on the play, but doesn't appear to be a leg injury. Walked off under his own power, heading to the tent. Dallas should get some more PT, has looked better than Homer.

Now there's a Pete screw up, going for it on 4th and 3 at the 20 with Carson out of the game instead of taking the FG. Russell takes a sack.

Hawks finally get a sack, ends get good pressure forcing Fitz to step up into a sack.

Thanks for all the updates RD. At least Red Zone shows the plays for scores. Looks like weatherman was wrong, and that's a good thing for the Seahawks.

The commentators have mentioned that the weather is still very warm, but you're right, it's not a killer.

Russell threw his first 'bad' interception of the season on an off balance pass into the end zone.

Carson returned to the game, apparently just getting the wind knocked out of him. He looks good in the 2nd half, might be on his way to a 100 yard game.

[RiverDog]

KJ Wright is playing a heck of a game, been in on a lot of plays. Miami has punted just once so far in the game and lead time of possession. Hawks red zone defense looks great, 5 FG's and no TD's. Lockett made his first catch of the game halfway through the 4th quarter.

[jshawaii22]

David Moore has just looked real good as a #3 this year. Another great twisting catch for the TD.

[Aseahawkfan]

Now we're starting to run away with the game. Good. Nice easy win. No TDs for the Dolphins.

[RiverDog]

Nice TD drive by the Hawks mixing up the pass and run. Perfect pass by Russ putting it where only his guy can catch it. Nice footwork by Moore. 2 score game with 5:24 to go.

Huge pass interception by Griffen on a bad decision by Fitz. Heck of a run after catch by Metcalf on first play after pick and damn near scored. Carson scored from one yard out on the following play. Not sure why the Hawks didn't go for two to try to make it a 3 score game. Probably a moot point.

I guess there’s no such thing as a Hawks fan...

[Aseahawkfan]

Now the defense is rolling over to give up easy points and letting Fitzpatrick look like a running QB. SMH.

[RiverDog]

I wouldn't call it easy. The game wasn't decided until under 2 minutes to go. Defense gave up over 400 yards again, forced Miami to punt just once, allowed the Fins to score a TD way too quickly. Offense had to pound out a first down when everybody knew we were going to run to put the game away.

Russell didn't play like he has in the first 3 games, but he didn't play that badly, either. David Moore made some nice catches. Nice to see Carson healthy, ran the ball with authority. Offensive line still looks OK, no major drive killing penalties. A couple of questionable game management decisions, opting not to kick a FG in the first half on a 4th and 3 and not going for 2 points on our last TD that would have put us up by 17.

Miami is an inferior team and this was a classic trap game that we were able to win. Can't complain about a 4-0 start.

Tre Flowers, what do you do with him? He has zero confidence out there, total liability. Pretty sure the completion percentage on his coverages is 100%. He is just a pile of stank right now.

[jshawaii22]

2700 miles and 3 time zones @5 1/2 hours = longest plane ride in the game and an early start. I'll take the win and I don't care if it wasn't pretty. Hey, our defense actually will improve it's 'stats' on this game.

Saw him at training camp two years ago, dude was just acting arrogant as hell...like he was a new Sherman or something. Wasn't impressed then, not impressed now.

[obiken]

Wow he must me bad never heard Yoder ever talk about a player like that!!

Points per game will improve a little as should our red zone defense, but that's about it. Here's the skinny: Yards allowed passing: 312. Yards per pass play: 6.8 Yards allowed rushing: 103. Yards per rushing attempt: 4.7 QB sacks: 1 for 3 yards. Turnovers: 2. Opponent 3rd down efficiency: 54% (7-13).

But the biggest stat is that we're 4-0. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if we win next weekend, it would give us our first 5-0 start in franchise history. That's assuming neither team has any COVID positives.
