Keys to Beating the Seahawks

Last week showed to be an impressive win for the San Francisco 49ers. But there were some areas of the game that needed some improvement. With that being said. Here are some keys to capturing a win in Seattle:

1. Don't let crowd noise be a factor:

Let's not forget that the "12th Man" up in Seattle are trying to set a Guiness Book of World Record by having the loudest crowd noise at a sporting event.the 49ers almost got caught a few times for delay of game. Kaepernick has to be loud with his pre snap calls and get ready to snap the ball quick. 

2. Keep Russell Wilson in the pocket:

Wilson is a dangerous passer when he rolls outside of the pocket and it's even worse when the defense is gambling on whether or not he's going to run or pass the ball. So the 49er defensive ends will have to make smart choices on when to pursue on the QB. 

3. Throw off the Seahawks Secondary:

The Seahawks have a fierce group of safeties and DBs. It's going to be tough for Anquan Boldin to have a repeat from last week's performance. This means that other 49er receivers must step up to fluster the Seahawks defense. 

4. Finish Through Tackles:

Last week was a rough week for one person, Nnamdi Asomugha. He had a rough week covering the slot receiver and finishing his tackles. He didnt look comfortable at all and was outshines by the rookie, Eric Reid. This week I challenge Nnamdi to show the Niner Faithful he's not going to be a busy this year by having a breakout performance in a big time game. 

5. Don't let Marshawn Loose:

Last week Marshawn Lynch struggled by only rushing for 50 yards. Don't think this will be a weekly output by this explosive back. The 49ers can't afford to take this guy lightly as he can erupt in any minute. The last thing the 49ers need is to have the forecast as raining skittles. 

6. Colin Kaepernick has to Stay Hot:

Colin Kaepernick opened a lot of viewers' eyes last week by showcasing more of his arm. When the option and the run game weren't so effective he was able to bail out the offense by throwing for 400+ yards. He did an excellent job by looking off the defenders and pump faking to slow them down as well. He has to keep this up if he wants to avenge his week 16 loss from a year ago. This will be one of the toughest defenses he will be facing all season long so he has to be geared up and ready to go to get a victory this week. 

My Bold Prediction:

Nnamdi Asomugha has a huge game and has 11 tackles, 1 interception, and 1 forced fumble.
