Or versus Christian Barmore.

Because if there is one way that you can see New England really affecting this offense, it's going to be by blitzing enough to get those one-on-one opportunities with their interior linemen.

A rookie lineman against two guys that have played at a Pro Bowl level at different points in their career.

That is where it can get a little thorny and the rest of their interior is not as good as Gray Zabel has been at points.

And I would say that most of Gray Zabel's wins have been in the run game.

Not that he's a bad pass protector, but he's much better kind of executing that zone scheme.

So that's one I'm thinking about.

And then the other one and the reason why I went with Zabel instead of this guy is because the status is up in the air and that's Nicky Minwari.

Right, he's dealing with an ankle right now, and that might actually end up working out in the Patriots' favor if he's hobbled but still plays, because now that means you're not going to have a guy who's bigger, faster, and stronger than your tight ends and slot receivers out in coverage on those guys.

So that's kind of the two things that I would think would be probably the biggest X factors on the Seahawks' side.

I ultimately made that call.

I honestly just was not very invested in the take as I was writing it out.

I'll give you an earnest one.

I'll give you an earnest one.

It would be Kyle Williams, who was in the piece.

Kyle Williams is somebody who has been productive in fits and starts for New England.

And I think that this is also true of Travion Henderson, right?

Those are probably their two speed guys that we just probably don't see enough of making an impact in their offense.

But specifically with a guy like Kyle Williams, they tried to take a chance against Houston.

He totally dusted Kamari Lassiter up the boundary, incomplete pass.
