Quote:What we are seeing is the Seattle D.  This is exactly what Seattle runs.  But we don't execute it properly.  We are not good at this D. 

 

And to be honest, I think this Seattle D has been figured out league wide.  Only rushing 4 and dropping everyone back is too easy to pick apart.

 

It looks like the philosophy is for the LB's to not let anyone get behind them, but it allows for such easy passes.  It's a terrible defense.  I hate it.

 

I want to see more Man D, and blitz.  Bring the pressure.  When we bring pressure, our D actually looks legit.  But this soft zone seattle stuff makes us look terrible.  It looks like a prevent defense.  And it's our base package.  It's garbage.  

 

Of freaking course Seattles defense has been "figured out". So has every other defense type in the league. Its all about execution. If we had the talent level Seattle had, We'd be 5-2. You don't "hide" things in this league. Pressure will come when we get better DEs and I got some good news about that. Help is on the way #fowler

 

Quote:BassX, I like your positivity.  I really do.  But this D is not getting better.  We exposed EJ Manuel in the first half when we were agressive.  Then when we went to our typical D, we got smoked.

 

The only way we get better is if Bradley realizes the Seattle D doesn't work and he lets the DC get aggressive.  Or we fire him and bring in a smarter HC that can figure it out.

 

It is getting better. You don't go from 0 takeovers to 2 defensive touchdowns / 4 takeovers and not get better. Also, Its not that im positive. Its that I don't let anger and angst towards Gus blind me to what really is going on.
