We'll need to put Cooley/Yoder/'Zo Alexander/Portis out there for help. Kerney vs Heyer is our biggest concern from a matchup perspective. Luckily though, Kerney would not be coming from Collins' blind side. Fumbles are a major concern when a DE is coming around the blind side on an immobile QB. 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.
