Stacy Rost: 3 Key Players: 49ers have a weakness that plays into a Seahawks strength
Tre Greenwall is going to be stepping in (for Kwon Alexander) and he’s a mid-round rookie with very little experience. Now, he can fly too and he’s got the instinct, he just doesn’t have the experience that Alexander has. So that’s going to be an advantage.
But nine weeks into the season, Seattle trails 27 other clubs in pass defense. The Seahawks’ sack leader is outside linebacker Mychal Kendricks (3.0) and the most productive member of the defensive line has been Clowney – which probably explains why he’s among the league’s most double-teamed edge rushers.

IMHO, Kwon Alexander being out is HUGE for this game!
Here's that Tweet about the Double Teams against Clowney, who is right up there with JJ Watt, Myles Garrett, DeMarcush Lawrence, and Josh Allen.

Ten pass rushers worth pursuing in free agency/2019 NFL Draft
2) Dee Ford, OLB/DE, free agent
Ford's versatility allows him to succeed as both an outside linebacker and defensive end. Healthy in 2018, Ford racked up a career-high 13 sacks and forced seven fumbles. He and Justin Houston were the most effective edge-rushing duo in the NFL with 118 pressures, according to Next Gen Stats. Ford has improved off the edge in terms of using his lean and leverage. The 27-year-old could continue being a premier pass rusher with full health, one that the Chiefs have strongly indicated they'd like to keep on their roster.
3) Jadeveon Clowney, OLB, free agent
He's a freak who constantly disrupts plays. Now, I would like to see Clowney use better technique at times, but he's one of those special players who can produce without it, thanks to his rare ability to make unorthodox moves. You can't teach some of the traits Clowney possesses, and he has all the raw tools of a great pass rusher. If Clowney, who had nine sacks in 2018, becomes more disciplined, the sky's the limit.
