Seahawks reserve OT needs to step up most for team vs. Cardinals
Josh Jones may be the player who needs to rise to the occasion the most for the Seahawks in Week 9 against the Cardinals with Charles Cross out.
In anticipation of the Seahawks' Week 9 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, left offensive tackle Josh Jones finds himself in a pivotal position. With starting left tackle Charles Cross sidelined, Jones assumes a paramount role as one of the team's most crucial players in the divisional showdown. Jones' performance is imperative for the Seahawks, particularly with Drew Lock set to start at quarterback.
Cross has been a stalwart presence in Seattle's offensive line, offering consistency and stability at left tackle, thereby making his absence a significant setback for the team. Cross has only allowed two sacks, six hits, and 15 pressures this season, but Jones must step up to protect Lock's blindside and thwart the Cardinals' pass rush.
With Jones maintaining zero sacks and just three pressures on the year, his level of protection will be crucial for Seattle as they strive to secure a victory against the Cardinals. Arizona is likely to exploit Cross's absence and target Lock. Ultimately, Jones' performance will determine the success of the Seahawks' offense in Week 9.
