Seahawks risers and fallers: Ugo Amadi keeps pace at nickel cornerback; tough night for Geno Smith

New York Times  

LAS VEGAS — The Seahawks played barely any starters in their 20-7 preseason loss to the Raiders on Saturday night. He came through in a big way.” FS/NCB Ugo Amadi Amadi started the game at free safety and nickel in Seattle’s sub packages, showcasing the versatility that makes him valuable to the team. Green on the first snap generated a quarterback pressure that forced Peterman to step up and into defensive tackle Bryan Mone’s arms for a sack. Of the four sacks Seattle had against Las Vegas, that was the most impressive one since Green simply beat his man off the line rather than cleaned up someone else’s work. Green in 2019 led the Seahawks in sacks but Seattle has since reloaded on the defensive line and it’s suddenly a crowded, talented room.
