“A Lot of Question Marks”: Richard Sherman Has Honest Take on Seahawks’ Loss Against Buccaneers
Following a high-scoring shootout that ended in a 38-35 defeat for the Seattle Seahawks against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Richard Sherman voiced his concerns about the team’s performance. The former Seahawks star emphasized the need for clarity and improvement, particularly on the defensive side of the ball.
Seattle’s defense, once renowned for its dominance, has shown significant vulnerabilities, particularly against potent offenses. In the game against the Buccaneers, Seattle allowed too many explosive plays, which ultimately contributed to their downfall. The lack of pressure on Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield further compounded the problem, leaving the secondary exposed and unable to contain Tampa’s talented receiving corps.
Sherman pointed out that the injuries affecting the Seahawks’ defensive backfield played a crucial role in their struggles. As the team navigates through a challenging schedule, the depth of the roster will be tested more than ever. The coaching staff must find a way to adapt and reinforce the defense to mitigate these issues and regain competitiveness.
In addition to defensive lapses, there are concerns about the overall execution of the team’s game plan. The Seahawks need to address their communication and adjustments during games to avoid falling behind. Sherman’s candid observations serve as a reminder of the expectations that come with playing in a competitive league.
Sports Analyst Richard Sherman Drops Honest Review on Seattle Seahawks’ Loss to Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Sherman recently shared his take about Seattle’s loss to the Buccaneers. This can be seen in a post shared by the sports analyst on his official X account.
“What a game. A lot of Positives for the Seahawks Offensively but a lot of question marks Defensively with all of the injuries you expected to give up some plays but not to the degree it happened today. Too many explosive passes allowed today,” Sherman said.
As the Seahawks prepare for their upcoming games, the urgency to rectify these issues is paramount. With a record that does not reflect their potential, the team must regroup and refocus to avoid further setbacks. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see if the Seahawks can turn things around.
Sherman’s honest assessment of the Seahawks’ loss against the Buccaneers underscores the challenges facing the team this season. With a pressing need for improvement in both defense and overall execution, the Seahawks must work diligently to reclaim their place among the league’s elite. The upcoming weeks will be critical for determining their trajectory moving forward.

The game-day inactives were Sam Ehlinger, Jaleel McLaughlin, Que Robinson, Frank Crum, and Sai’vion Jones.
The only active offensive player who did not play was Jarrett Stidham.
We had one offensive lineman who didn’t take all of the snaps. That was Mike McGlinchey who missed two snaps and was replaced by Alex Palczweski. AP also played eight other snaps as the sixth offensive lineman. Bo Nix and the other four starting offensive linemen all played every offensive snap.

Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant, Marvin Mims, and Trent Sherfield played 70, 44, 40, 27 and 16 snaps. Bryant set another career high after getting 27 snaps in game four, he got 40 in game five, jumping Marvin Mims as WR3 at least for this game. Despite the 40 snaps, Bryant was not targetted. Ten Broncos were targetted during the game.
The split for the snaps for our three RBs was 37, 19, 15, but RJ Harvey got the 15 and Tyler Badie got the 19. This a dramatic shift from the first four games. Badie had 10 total snaps in games three and four and he entered the game with 37 total offensive snaps on the season. I would assume that his pass blocking is better than Harvey’s so that is why he was on the field more than RJ. Adam Prentice only got four snaps at FB.
The TE snap distribution was pretty even at 31, 30 and 27 - Trautman, Engram and Adkins.
The defense had four players who played every snap: Talanoa Hufanga, Patrick Surtain II, Riley Moss, and Alex Singleton.
Brandon Jones came off the field for one snap on defense. Devon Key and JL Skinner both got four snaps on defense, which was a surprise since I would have expected KAD or PJ Locke to get those snaps, but maybe both players have improved recently.
Patrick Strnad played 47 of 61 snaps at the other ILB spot.
Zach Allen played 52 of 61 snaps (85%) which was a season high % for him. He did play more snaps in two other games where our defense was on the field for many more plays than 61.
At nickel CB, Ja’Quan McMillian 42 snaps. Jahdae Barron played only 10 snaps but made the most of them.
Other DL guys got 31, 25, 19 and 10 snaps: D.J. Jones, John Franklin-Myers, Eyioma Uwazurike, and Jordan Jackson. Jordan Jackson got his active spot this week after Jones was active last game. The Eagles ran 61 plays and our two DL guys played a total of 137 snaps, meaning that we had 15 plays were we used three DL guys on the field against the run-heavy Eagles, who only ran the ball 11 times.
Our OLB Nik Bonitto, Jonathon Cooper, Jonah Elliss and Dondrea Tillman 42, 46, 19 and 16 snaps. Elliss was also in on 90% of the special teams snaps along with Devon Key.
