With a divisional round game coming up against Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers, the Seahawks know they’ll need to again find ways to affect the quarterback again like they did in Philadelphia.
“We’ve got to do that every week, especially this week,” defensive end Jadeveon Clowney said. “We’ve got to try to apply pressure on Aaron Rodgers. They’ve got a great front. We’ll try to get some pressure on him, and hopefully he can throw us some.”
Added defensive tackle Jarran Reed, “We want to build off that, continue to do that through the playoffs. It was huge, the defensive definitely needs it, and it’s a good game to go into Green Bay and see if we can do it again.”
Clowney pointed to Green Bay’s loss to the San Francisco 49ers, a game in which Rodgers was sacked five times and the Packers were held to a season-low 8 points, as an example of how valuable pressure can be.
“The losses they did take it was all because of the fronts applying pressure and getting off the field on third down,” Clowney said. “It’s the same thing for us, we’ve got to get pressure and get off on third downs.”
Clowney has been playing through a painful core injury since Week 10, one that has caused him to miss three games late in the regular season, and both he and Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said he’s feeling about the same as he did last week. That’s pretty good news considering what a big factor Clowney was in last week’s game, an impact that went far beyond the one sack he recorded—though that was a big one, coming on fourth down to end Philadelphia’s final possession.
“I thought Clowney had a big factor,” Carroll said. “Just his presences, his activity, it was very much reminiscent of games we’ve seen like the San Francisco game earlier. There’s been a couple of those games when he’s just a problem. Everybody’s still working and all the other guys were clawing and scratching to get there. I think that was the factor that was the difference maker. He’s a big factor for us and we’re hoping he’s going to be there again.”
Clowney isn’t at 100 percent, but if he’s playing, he has no intentions of the injury limiting him, “I just like to play the game. When I’m out there, I tell them, don’t try to limit me. If I’m up, I’m up. I’m not halfway up, I’m all the way up. I put it on myself when I dress out.”
