SEATTLE -- When Dan Quinn left Seattle for his opportunity to be an NFL head coach in Atlanta, he wanted to create an identity unique to the Falcons.Quinn didnt want Atlanta to be a replica of what he experienced in Seattle, even if the principles he wanted for the Falcons were similar.Can the team be featured in the very best way of how we wanted to utilize the players? The messaging, the identity, the toughness that we wanted to play with, having that really come to life? Quinn said. I think it took going through some tough lessons and developing some resiliency through last year with some difficult losses. ... Those were scars that were painful as hell to go through, but on the other side of it we grew tougher, we grew stronger.Quinns former team will get an up-close look at what hes created in Atlanta when the Seahawks host the Falcons on Sunday in a clash of teams that look to be among the top contenders in the NFC.Its an enticing matchup, featuring Atlantas No. 1 offense against Seattles top-ranked defense thats had an extra week of rest and preparation. And its a reunion for Quinn to see the defense he helped create in Seattle during his two seasons as coordinator, and whether it can slow down Matt Ryan and the Falcons.Its going to be fun. Its going to be a fun matchup for our defense to go up against their offense, Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman said. They throw the ball a whole lot, Matt Ryan has been having a phenomenal year, so were going to have a good time with that challenge.The Falcons went down this path a year ago, starting 6-1 before losing six straight, finishing 8-8 and missing the playoffs, so there is still hesitation about the validity of Atlantas start this season. But a win in Denver , followed by a win in Seattle would certainly quiet doubters.When something bad goes bad, you have to forget it and get the next play. You cant let that determine the outcome of the game if you had one bad play, Atlanta wide receiver Julio Jones said. Thats how we were last year as a team. One negative thing happened and then it was like a snowball effect on us. This year were definitely a different ballclub as far as the mentality of the team.Heres what else to watch:JULIO vs. SHERM: No individual matchup will top the expected battle between Jones and Sherman. Jones is two weeks removed from having 300 yards receiving against Carolina, while Sherman has started to follow specific wide receivers on a more regular basis. He did that for most of Seattles win over the New York Jets, shadowing Brandon Marshall.Others Sherman has followed in the past include Dez Bryant, Antonio Brown and Torrey Smith.What the fans should expect is two real dog competitors wanting to go battle for it. Thats one of the coolest parts about our game, Quinn said.HERES JIMMY: If there was any question, Jimmy Graham is back and hes finding a prominent role in Seattles offense. Graham is coming off consecutive 100-yard receiving games, the first time hes accomplished that feat since early in the 2013 season. Grahams 12 catches in the past two games has come without quarterback Russell Wilson forcing the ball his direction. Rather, the throws are coming to Graham within the rhythm of the game plan.BACKFIELD MATES: The Seahawks are concerned about containing the combo of Atlanta running backs Tevin Coleman and Devonte Freeman. Coleman had a career-high 132 yards receiving last week against the Broncos, while Freeman is averaging 5.3 yards per carry, seventh best in the NFL.Theyve got to be really fired up about those guys because they have a lot of stuff they can do with them and we cant zero in on it because of that. Theyre very fortunate, Carroll said.BEASTLY BEASLEY: The pass rush potential of Vic Beasley flashed last week against Denver.Beasley had 3 + sacks and two forced fumbles in the victory. Beasley has 4 + sacks in the first five weeks, after having just four sacks his entire rookie season.BACK TO HEALTH: The early bye week played into Seattles favor. Wilson got an extra week of treatment on his sprained knee and sprained ankle. Wide receiver Tyler Lockett is expected to be more involved after being limited the past two games with a sprain knee suffered in Week 2 against Los Angeles. Others such as Doug Baldwin, Germain Ifedi, Jarran Reed and Graham got a break after a bruising first four weeks when injuries quickly started adding up.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Air Vapormax .C. at the helm of the top team in the Eastern Conference.
