Arizona Cardinals: 5 bold predictions vs Seattle Seahawks
By Scott Allen
David Johnson will not rush for 100 yards
The Seattle defense is a little banged up but they are likely to hold Cardinals running back David Johnson to under 100 yards on the ground. The Cardinals will need to win the battle up front with their offensive line if Johnson is to have any shot at 100-yards.
Now that doesn’t mean that Johnson won’t continue to get his touches. Johnson will get his 25-30 touches, especially if the Cardinals are without John Brown. Johnson could be looking at a decent receiving game.
He should get over 100-yards from scrimmage despite the rushing yards being under 100. That is what makes Johnson who is he and why he is so valuable to the Cardinals. Without his versatility, the Cardinals could be squirming a little more without Brown Sunday night.
It isn’t impossible for Johnson to get 100-yards on the ground, it is just we all need to remember this is not the San Francisco 49ers the Cardinals are facing. Seattle could be very tough to run on.
