The Seattle Seahawks are wasting no time as they return from their bye week. On Monday, they released linebacker Tyrel Dodson in a shocking move to revamp their linebacking corps. He will be replaced on the 53-man roster by cornerback Josh Jobe, who was signed off the practice squad.
In the NFL, sometimes all a player needs is one chance, and Jobe certainly took advantage of it. We wrote over the weekend how in the three games in which he took part. Jobe has proven to be an excellent defender, something quarterback Josh Allen learned the hard way, as the first interception he threw this season came against No. 29 Seahawks.
Seattle is at an important turning point this year. At 4-5, their season is at stake. Their 3-0 start and division lead has completely evaporated and they now face an uphill battle whether to return to the playoffs or even capture their first NFC West championship in nearly half a decade. If they want to turn things around, they need to get their defense back to where it was in the first month of the season.
Obviously, the Seahawks believe Josh Jobe is a player who can help turn the team around.
