As long as Collins can see Kerney coming, the probability for fumlbing goes down. I can deal with the occasional sack, but what kills you in the NFL is turnovers. We need to keep Kerney in check, Collins needs to have a clock in his head, keep an eye on Kerney, and step up in the pocket consistently.
Collins' immobility + Kerney vs Heyer = The highest chance of Seattle causing turnovers.
And we can't forget that as our attention turns to Kerney, Samuels needs to hold up in one-on-ones on the other side.

Honestly, a Tight End lined up on Kerney's side should be good enough to nullify the pass rushing advantage. If we force him to line up in a seven technique, as opposed to a five, Collins will have more than enough time to throw any football, provided the receivers get open.
**A seven technique refers to an end lined up outside the tight end, and a five refers to an end lined up on the outside shoulder of the tackle.
