Predicted Stat Line for Buccaneers’ OLB Haason Reddick vs Seattle

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers head to Seattle to take on the Seahawks in a bounce-back game. Haason Reddick has been a dynamic outside linebacker for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. While the Seattle Seahawks’ offense presents challenges, we see Reddick playing a significant role in Sunday’s matchup.

Here’s what we can expect from him against the Seattle Seahawks:

Tackles: 5-8 tackles, considering Reddick’s average production and the Seahawks’ run-heavy approach. But we expect Reddick to have a noticeable impact against Seattle’s O-line.

Sacks: 0.5-1.5 sacks, given the Seahawks’ Sam Darnold being sacked just six times this season and Reddick’s 2.5 sacks through four games.

Tackles for Loss: 1-3 tackles for loss, as Reddick has been effective in disrupting opponents’ backfields and the Seahawks might rely on Kenneth Walker III, making Reddick’s role crucial.

QB Pressures: 5-8 pressures, considering Reddick’s pass-rush skills and Seattle’s O-line vulnerabilities, particularly with right guard Anthony Bradford struggling with a 29.6 Pro Football Focus pass protection grade.

Quarterback Hits: 1-2 hits, as Reddick’s ability to get to the quarterback could be pivotal against Darnold.

Key Factors Influencing Reddick’s Performance

The Seahawks’ game plan might feature more run plays to neutralize Reddick’s pass-rush abilities, especially with DeMarcus Lawrence (questionable with a quadriceps injury) potentially limited.

Reddick’s ability to contain Sam Darnold and pressure him into mistakes could significantly impact the Buccaneers’ defensive success.

The Buccaneers’ defensive scheme might focus on Reddick’s strengths, utilizing him in blitz-heavy packages to exploit Seattle’s O-line weaknesses, particularly with Anthony Bradford.

Final Stat Line

Tackles: 7
Sacks: 1
Tackles for Loss: 2
QB Pressures: 6
