| |  | 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). | | ST LOUIS: Offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer has always been more of a finesse coach, and the loss of Steven Jackson will force him away from the ground game. They may have to install some more zone looks, with outside runner Daryl Richardson the only proven back on the roster. Isaiah Pead, more of a one-cut back, has a shot at a bigger role after a poor showing as a rookie, as does rookie Zac Stacy. There's a chance big back Terrance Ganaway could work his way into the rotation, as the team's only true power runner.
The Rams will spread it out and go with a lot of short, catch-and-run stuff. Rookie Tavon Austin steps into Danny Amendola's slot position and should lead the team in targets, getting the ball on a lot of short and behind-the-line-of-scrimmage passes. Sam Bradford prefers to work over the middle, so there will be enough balls for Austin and TE Jared Cook, who should be option 1A. Chris Givens is a field stretcher, and they'll look for more catch-and-run stuff out of developing flanker Brian Quick. Schottenheimer has always gotten pass-happy in the red zone, and that should be the case again with no proven power runner. Expect a lot of stuff for Cook near the goal line. Austin Pettis saw a lot of red zone looks last year, though he could be pushed to the bench by Quick.
The Rams posted a whopping 52 sacks last season, which tied for the NFL lead. But this unit had just four fumble recoveries all season and failed to pick off a pass in nine of the final 12 games. Talent does exist for new defensive coordinator Tim Walton though, with DEs Chris Long (11.5 sacks) and Robert Quinn (10.5 sacks) and LB James Laurinaitis (142 tackles) standing out among the front seven, and CBs Cortland Finnegan (83 solo tackles) and Janoris Jenkins (4 INT) both strong cover men in a solid secondary. |

*Seahawks-Rams Preview* =======================
By JORDAN GARRETSON STATS Writer
The Seahawks have looked like the class of the NFC on the way to their best start.
With Sam Bradford lost for the rest of the season, the St. Louis Rams should pose little threat to Seattle's momentum.
The Seahawks seek their 15th win in the last 17 meetings with the Rams when they visit St. Louis on Monday night.
Seattle (6-1) has already matched last season's total for road wins (3) after a 34-22 victory at Arizona last Thursday. The Seahawks haven't won four games away from home since 2006. The single-season franchise record is five, set in 1984 and matched in 2005.
The team's dominant defense is second in the league in total yardage allowed (282.1 per game) while limiting opponents to an average of 16.6 points.
The Seahawks' offense is also rolling, ranking fourth in scoring with 27.3 points per game. Russell Wilson's 97.2 passer rating is seventh-best in the NFL, while Marshawn Lynch's 578 yards on the ground trail only Philadelphia's LeSean McCoy.
The team's lone loss was a 34-28 setback at Indianapolis on Oct. 6.
"It feels like we are still growing," said coach Pete Carroll, who gave his team four days off following Thursday's victory. "We are still a very young team and it feels that way. We have enough firepower in a lot of areas to overcome the things that are going in the wrong direction but we are playing good, solid football."
The Rams (3-4) are expected to give Kellen Clemens his 13th career start under center after Bradford suffered a torn left ACL in a 30-15 loss at Carolina last weekend. Bradford will have surgery in the next 2-3 weeks after the swelling goes down.
The fourth-year starter had thrown 14 touchdowns with four interceptions and his 90.9 passer rating was a career best.
"He was playing very, very well, not only yesterday but was just improving weekly," Fisher said Monday after Bradford went 21 of 30 for 255 yards with a TD and a pick against the Panthers. "The challenge is obvious in this world when you have an impact player go down."
Clemens is familiar with the offensive scheme after serving as Bradford's backup for the last two years. He also worked under offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer during his tenure with the New York Jets.
The eighth-year pro completed 52.7 percent of his passes for 546 yards, two TDs and one interception over three starts in 2011 while Bradford was sidelined with a high ankle sprain.
St. Louis also signed Brady Quinn after he was cut by the Jets on Monday, as well as Austin Davis, who was cut by St. Louis before the opener. Davis was the Rams' No. 3 quarterback last season.
"Somebody's got to play," said Clemens, who has a 62.2 career passer rating in 31 games. "So I'll go out there and do the best job I can and try to help this team win some games."
Clemens faces a defense tied for fourth in the NFL with 23 sacks after it recorded seven against Carson Palmer last week.
Rams rookie Zac Stacy - who has 210 yards on 49 carries in his first three starts - also appears to be in for a challenge with the Seahawks ranking sixth against the run. Arizona ran 18 times for only 30 yards last week.
Percy Harvin practiced Tuesday for the first time since undergoing hip surgery in August, but Carroll said Saturday that Harvin will not play Monday night. The coach said Harvin will work hard until "his conditioning is caught up and he's ready to go."
The dynamic receiver, acquired from Minnesota in exchange for three draft picks, including a first-rounder in April, hasn't played since Nov. 4 after an ankle injury ended his 2012 season.
"It's all day-to-day," said Harvin, who caught four passes for 66 yards as a rookie in his only career game versus St. Louis on Oct. 11, 2009. "I want to play as soon as possible, but we all want to be smart in this thing. We put a plan together and we're just going to take it day by day and see how it feels."
While the Seahawks are 14-2 in the series since 2005, they have lost on two of their last three trips to St. Louis, including a 19-13 defeat last year. Wilson was picked off three times, just one of two multi-interception performances in his 23-game career.
