| |  | JACKSONVILLE: The Jaguars will continue to utilize a zone-blocking scheme for their running game, which will be the bulk of what this offense does as they still search for any semblance of a passing threat. Maurice Jones-Drew will once again be asked to carry a heavy workload as long as he's healthy, primarily because they have so few options behind him. But new offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch is expected to give more two-back looks, with Montell Owens doing some lead blocking and also lining up in some single-back sets. The wild card could be Denard Robinson, who will push Justin Forsett for change-of-pace duties.
They don't have a lot of options with this passing game, due simply to a lack of talent. Most likely they'll try to spread the field and get some quick catch-and-run opportunities as Fisch comes from a West Coast background. He'll put Blaine Gabbert on the move a little more, which should help the young QB, who's gun shy in the face of the rush. Cecil Shorts figures to get a boost in Fisch's offense, at least while Justin Blackmon serves his four-game suspension to start the season. Marcedes Lewis should be a more prominent part of the offense. The Jaguars were forced to throw in the red zone much more often after Jones-Drew got hurt last year, but their first choice is to force-feed Jones-Drew.
New defensive coordinator Bob Babich, the former Bears DC and LB coach, inherits a defense that logged the second-most minutes on the field because of a horrible offense. But the Jags recorded five fewer sacks than any other NFL team and failed to score a defensive touchdown for the third time in four seasons. This year's unit will look much different with at least four new starters signed via free agency -- DTs Roy Miller and Kyle Love, LB Geno Hayes and CB Alan Ball. MLB Paul Posluszny is still a tackling machine. | | SEATTLE: The Seahawks were the most run-heavy team in the NFL last year, and they'll be up there again this season. They have big, physical linemen who operate a zone-blocking scheme with a lot of inside zone runs by Marshawn Lynch. Lynch remains the feature back, running behind fullback Michael Robinson. Rookie Christine Michael could push Robert Turbin for the No. 2 job. They don't have many designed running plays for Russell Wilson, but he does have the neon green light to scramble.
Offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell's West Coast passing game took off in the second half of last season, and they'll get even more creative with Percy Harvin, the league's most dangerous catch-and-run threat. Harvin will line up everywhere, including the backfield, and see a lot of screens and be targeted frequently on rollouts. Wilson's pocket moves around, and they'll use play-action to open things up deep for Sidney Rice and Golden Tate. Zach Miller is a popular play-action target but will see fewer targets with Harvin coming in. They rarely use their backs as receivers. Seattle gets more aggressive with the passing game inside the 20, with Rice being the primary target and both tight ends (Miller and Anthony McCoy) involved. Otherwise, it's a whole lot of Lynch.
The Seahawks led the NFL in scoring defense in 2012 (15.3 PPG allowed), and generated 15 forced turnovers and five touchdowns in their final six games. Their subpar pass rush should improve greatly under new defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, who has several DE/OLB types to run his more aggressive scheme, including former Lions DE Cliff Avril (29 sacks since 2010). New CB Antoine Winfield (72 solo tackles) joins a stacked secondary that already includes CB Richard Sherman (8 INT) and FS Earl Thomas (3 INT). |

(UPDATES with Jones-Drew practicing)
*Jaguars-Seahawks Preview* ==========================
By JEFF MEZYDLO STATS Senior Writer
Considering how Seattle has dominated defensively and the Jacksonville Jaguars have struggled on offense, it seems that the Seahawks have an excellent chance to start 3-0 for the first time since 2006.
They'll look to accomplish that while trying for a 10th consecutive home victory Sunday against the lowly Jaguars, who hope to avoid an eighth straight defeat on the road and overall.
After yielding an NFL-low 15.3 points per game and ranking fourth while giving up 306.2 yards a contest last season, Seattle's defense appears even more dominant in 2013. The Seahawks held Carolina to 253 yards in a 12-7 season-opening road victory, then limited San Francisco to 207 during a 29-3 home rout last Sunday.
"Every game we feel like we should dominate," safety Earl Thomas said.
One week after the 49ers' Colin Kaepernick threw for 412 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in a 34-28 win over Green Bay, Seattle held him to 127 and intercepted three passes.
Boisterous star cornerback Richard Sherman played a major part in limiting San Francisco's Anquan Boldin to one catch for seven yards after he caught 13 for 208 against the Packers.
In two games, the Seahawks have allowed one touchdown and 226 passing yards, forced seven turnovers and recorded four sacks. That's all without injured defensive end Chris Clemons, suspended pass rusher Bruce Irvin and cornerback Brandon Browner, who could return after missing the first two with a hamstring injury.
"We have a chance to do something great," Thomas said. "That's all it says. The craziest thing about it, we stay humble and keep preparing like we do, not listening to what's going on TV, we'll be fine."
That's why Seattle expects to remain focused against Jacksonville (0-2), which has totaled 11 points and 426 yards while allowing 11 sacks and committing 15 penalties in defeats to Kansas City and Oakland.
"Every game is a championship opportunity for us," coach Pete Carroll told the Seahawks' official website. "The way you ensure that is by the way you prepare. If you practice properly, with the same intentions and standards every week, and we maintain that for the players and we don't accept anything less, then you guarantee your best chance to perform well. Regardless of what's going on."
The Seahawks pride themselves on that attitude, especially at home where they haven't lost since falling 19-17 to the 49ers on Dec. 24, 2011. They've outscored their last five home opponents 177-36.
A Seahawks fan group also announced that it established a Guinness World Records mark for the loudest stadium after the noise level at CenturyLink Field reached 131.9 decibels at one point last Sunday.
That does not bode well for the Jaguars, who have not won anywhere since a 24-19 home victory over Tennessee on Nov. 25. Their last road win came Sept. 23.
While quarterback Chad Henne will make his second straight start in place of the injured Blaine Gabbert, the team seems optimistic running back Maurice Jones-Drew will play after suffering a tendon strain in his left foot during the 19-9 road loss to the Raiders last week.
Jones-Drew, who practiced some Friday, expects to play. He says "my motto is unless I have to have surgery, I'm going to play."
Jones-Drew, limited to 34 yards on 12 carries in Jacksonville's 41-0 defeat at Seattle in 2009, has rushed for 72 on 25 attempts this season.
"We can't make excuses regardless of who's out there," Jaguars tackle Eugene Monroe said. "We just need to execute and not make mistakes, not get panicked and turn this thing around."
After giving up 226 rushing yards against Oakland, the Jaguars face another stiff test from Marshawn Lynch.
Held to 43 yards on 17 rushes at Carolina, Lynch had 98 on 28 carries, scored twice and added three catches for 37 yards with a TD against San Francisco.
Russell Wilson, however, hopes for a better effort after going 8 for 19 for 142 yards with a TD and an interception Sunday. However, Seahawks receivers had trouble getting open throughout the game.
"We're just not as sharp as we need to be," Carroll said. "There is a lot of potential there that we know is still ready to be shown. It's not just the passing game. In general I think we can be cleaner."
Wilson and Lynch won't have tackle Russell Okung in front of them after he suffered a toe injury against the 49ers.
