The Opposing View: An Insider's Look At The Seahawks' Week 15 Opponent, The Green Bay Packers

What matchup or matchups are you most looking forward to seeing play out on Sunday?

Hodkiewicz: The Packers' defensive front vs. Kenneth Walker III/Zach Charbonnet. Green Bay has made an about-face against the run under Hafley, creeping into the top 10 in both run defense (106.9 yards per game) and yards per carry (4.11). Over the last three games, the Packers have allowed just 194 rushing yards and a touchdown on 64 carries (3.0 ypc). I know what the stats say, but it sure seems like Seattle found some magic on the ground in that rematch with Arizona. It's going to be critical to keep Walker and/or Charbonnet in check to allow the defensive front to pin its ears back in pursuit of Smith on third down. It's been a grind getting after the QB for the Packers this season, but Rashan Gary and Kenny Clark are heating up. I don't know what the plan is this week for Jaire Alexander, who's played just 10 snaps since the bye because of a knee injury. If Alexander can go, it would be interesting to see him matchup with either D.K. Metcalf or Jaxon Smith-Njigba. If there's no Alexander, then it's up to Keisean Nixon, Carrington Valentine and Eric Stokes to keep pace with a pretty electric receiving corps.
