Quote:Darn right they are.  But it's not enough in this type of defense.  The Seattle D is too demanding in this day and age.  It's a terrible D unless you have at least 4 all-pro players in at the LB and Secondary positions.

 

That's too much to ask for from any team.  We need to change our scheme.  This one ain't gonna get it done.

 

Surprisingly, I actually agree with this a little bit. It was painfully obvious last 3 weeks the scheme vs. personnel are not in sync. Injuries, DL age, and lack of impact drafting has killed this defense. We have one LB out there that literally doesn't react until the ball is halfway to a receiver (Armbrister). He should be bagging groceries. Cyprien continues to lack consistency, Evans is in over his head, Poz/Miller/Clemons have finally hit the "over the hill". Branch/davis/Smith have all disappeared thanks to the interior being exposed. 

 

Its an all out collapse on defense honestly but the good news is help is on the way. Father time will actually be our greatest ally with Fowler/Marks coming back healthy and hopefully its a good year to draft heavy on defense.
