play a more vital role in the Seattle Seahawks' passing game.As he sees it David Long Los Angeles Rams Jerseys , the one reception he had in the loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday just isn't going to cut it.Baldwin, Seattle's leading receiver each of the past four years, should be able to return to his reliable ways in a favorable matchup against the Oakland Raiders this weekend at Wembley Stadium."I just look at it as another opportunity," Baldwin said. "I've got to go out there and do my job and get open, and if the ball comes to me, it comes to me. That's really what it comes down to. I'm not worried about it. I've got to focus on my job and do the best I can with the opportunities that I get."The Raiders (1-4) will statistically be the worst defense the Seahawks (2-3) will have faced so far, having allowed 8.35 yards per reception, the second-worst average in the NFL, and 277.2 passing yards per game, good for 23rd.Baldwin had his lone catch on the Seahawks' second play from scrimmage in the 33-31 loss to the Rams, marking only the second time since the end of the 2013 season the wide receiver had fewer than two receptions in a game.It was Baldwin's second game back after he sprained the medial collateral ligament in his right knee in the season-opening road loss to the Denver Broncos. Both he and coach Pete Carroll said earlier this week that the knee is healthy, removing the injury as an excuse.The Seahawks have been trying to play more to their strengths, emphasizing their running game behind Chris Carson and Mike Davis. Carroll, though Los Angeles Rams Jerseys Stitched , insisted that despite the emergence of second-year wide receiver David Moore, Baldwin's role has not changed."Because the ball didn't get to him has nothing to do with anything," Carroll said. "That's not part of any evaluation at all on our side. Sometimes that happens. We only completed 13 passes last week in a real productive offensive day. Doug will be right in the middle of that. He's one of our best players and he's been a great performer for a long time. There's nothing to change that thought at all."Quarterback Russell Wilson attempted only 21 passes against the Rams, the fewest he's had in a game this season. The Seahawks could afford that, and hand the workload to the running backs, because they controlled the game for much of the first three quarters.Several big gains also helped. Seattle had five plays of 30 or more yards against Los Angeles, two of which resulted in touchdowns 鈥?a 39-yard pass by Wilson to Tyler Lockett in the second quarter and a 30-yard catch by Moore in the third.Baldwin, though, was conspicuously absent, with Wilson failing to throw to his longtime top target at any point after the third minute."Doug's always phenomenal," Wilson said. "He's one of the best in the world to do it. He's always been a superstar, so the more times he can get the football, the better. That's a great thing for us."A two-time Pro Bowl selection 鈥?including last season, when he played in the game as an injury replacement 鈥?Baldwin's omission isn't the only issue the Seahawks have in the passing game.They have not ranked among the bottom third of teams in total offense since Wilson was drafted in 2012 David Long T-Shirts Jersey , though they were among the six worst passing offenses in the league during the quarterback's first three years.They will enter the game against the Raiders ranked 27th in both categories, but after winning two of their last three games, and having a 100-yard rusher in each, Baldwin believes the offense is starting to take shape."(Running the ball) balances us pretty well," Baldwin said. "It makes it easier on the quarterback and the receivers when there are eight in the box having to respect our run game. It's going to open some things up in the passing game, and as we go along in the season, I think it'll make a lot of things easier for us going forward." The Los Angeles Chargers have been short-handed the first three weeks of the season without their top two pass rushers. On Sunday, that lack of a pass rush was one of the biggest reasons why they lost to their cross-town rivals.The Chargers were only able to get one sack against Jared Goff in a 35-23 loss to the Rams at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. A non-existent pass rush allowed Goff to pick the Chargers apart, throwing for 354 yards and three touchdowns."We couldn't get off the field. I think the first half, he completed 90 percent of his passes," Chargers coach Anthony Lynn said. "We have to figure out how to get pressure on the quarterback."The Chargers (1-2) will get defensive tackle Corey Liuget back after next Sunday's game against San Francisco when his four-game suspension for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances ends. But Joey Bosa's return date is less certain. Lynn sounded after Sunday's game that the third-year defensive end won't be returning anytime soon."We're feeling it (the losses of Liuget and Bosa) but we have to do something to get the quarterback on the ground. That is up to me and everyone up front," nose tackle Damion Square said.The Chargers got pressure on Goff only three of the 37 times he dropped back to pass. The 8.1 percent is the fourth worst pressure rate on a quarterback in this week's games according to Sportradar. He had an average time of 2.90 seconds to throw, which is more than this week's league average of 2.72 seconds.The lack of pressure is why Goff was able to complete 29 of 36 passes. The 80.6 completion rate ties for the second highest against the Chargers since 2010. Goff completed 13 of his first 14 throws and was 21 of 25 for 216 yards in the first half.Even when the Chargers were able to force a third down, they were rarely able to get a stop. The Rams — who punted only once in 10 possessions — converted eight of 11 third downs Infant David Long Jersey , including three where there were 6 or more yards to go."It was on us on defense. We couldn't get a stop. We made them punt one time," safety Derwin James said. "The offense put up enough points."Even when the Chargers were able to make a play on defense, they had something else happen. James picked off Goff on a pass intended for Gerald Everett in the end zone, but instead of a touchback, the momentum carried him out of the end zone and the Chargers took over their own 1.With the pick, James joined Dallas' Bill Bates as the only rookie defensive backs in a non-strike year to have two sacks and an INT in their first three games.One solution for the Chargers to dial up more pressure might be playing James closer to the line of scrimmage. They did that the first two weeks, but he played deeper and was more of a natural free safety because of the Rams' deep threats."Sometimes when I blitz, I get in my rhythm," James said. "At the end of the day, we have to execute as a defense. We have to mix it up and the guys that have 1-on-1 matchups have to win."One of the few saving graces for the Chargers is that they already faced two of the league's most potent offenses the first three weeks of the season in the Chiefs and Rams. In Week 1, Kansas City beat the Chargers 38-28 as Patrick Mahomes threw for 256 yards and four touchdowns . But much like against the Rams, the Chargers only sacked Mahomes once in that game, too.Things figure to get slightly easier the next two weeks with home games against San Francisco, who may have lost Jimmy Garoppolo for the year to a knee injury David Long Jersey nfl draft , and Oakland."It was a similar game from Week 1, for sure. They've got good talent at receiver, great running back, good quarterback. They kind of have a similar playbook, you see (play) actions, you see boots (bootlegs), you see motions," cornerback Desmond King said. "We're going to bounce back, for sure. We can't let this loss affect us."Follow Joe Reedy at joereedy
