Jamal Adams says he will be a little more inspired when the Seattle Seahawks host the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday at Centurilink Field.
It’s not because -l-Pro Safety will only play his home team for the second time in his career. This is something he has heard from the grapes back home.
Smiling Adams told reporters Thursday, “I’ve seen some things, they said I struggle in coverage, so I can’t wait.” “I got some text from my colleagues at my house. It has an inside. So, look ahead.”
Adams does not specify which Cowboys player or players said who relayed it to him.
“Man, I can’t tell you that,” he said. “Come on. I can’t give you nuggets like that, man. I grew up with a couple of guys who are still my brothers, today’s best friends. We talk every day, group messaging. What’s going on in Dallas? Always come to me. I always find these things. So there’s a little edge, a little chip on my shoulder to go there and keep doing what I’m going to do. Naturally, things happen. That’s part of the game. And hey, I’m just waiting for the matchup. “
Acquired in the blockbuster trade with the New York Jets this summer, Adams has been one of the Seahawks’ most active defenders through two games. He leads the team in tackles (22), sacks (2.0) and losses (3.5). But it hasn’t been perfect. On a Week 1 play, Adams Cornwack collided with Schwick Griffin, leading to an easy touchdown for the Atlanta Falcons. He took the blame for one of the longest complements from Cam Newton to Julian Edelman in Seattle’s win over the New England Patriots on Sunday night.
While Adams has never been referred to as a ball hawk – he has two contradictions since entering the league in 2017 – he is very good for coverage in his first three seasons to allow a fourth-lowest finish percentage (50.4%) in safety. As the closest defender, according to NFL Next General statistics.
Adams hails from the Dallas-Fort Worth suburb of Lewisville, Texas and attended Hebron High School, 31 miles from AT&T Stadium. He grew up being a fan of the New York Giants as his father George spent his first four NFL seasons with the team. But the Cowboys were one of seven teams Adams would have welcomed the trade when his future with the Jets was in jeopardy, according to ESPN’s Adam Schaefter.
Adams commented on the text he received from his friend while Amri Cooper, Michael Gallup and Rookie praised the huge receiver corps of CD Lamb’s cowboys selected in the first round while commenting on the text he received from his friend. Adams called Lamb “like a little brother to me.”
“Our hands are full,” he said. “It’s going to be exciting. It reminds Atlanta what kind of explosions they make on the receiver, if he understands. Don’t compare them, but just by saying that there are some explosive people by their side who can make it. So we have to do our thing and do a good job of plastering and covering them. “
