The Seattle Seahawks have an excellent defense in one key area that they almost never get to use

1. After last week Seahawks are ready to join the circus.

2. Ronald McDonald

3. Hello from Ullared, Sweden.

4. Jason Myers, and Dickson are doing great this year. Outside of that its been inconsistent at best

5. I love my boys but.. SEAHAWKS = JETS

6. Curious what he means by that comment. Having a vanilla defense will have our defense be exploited. I liked what we were showing during the preseason and against the Broncos

7. Just seems like every year this Defense can't get it done. We get new players same thing. So hopefully it's a quick fix, but I have my doubts, it will be an interesting year or so.

8. Seahawks are a joke

9. What needs to be pointed out is that Dremont Jones and Leonard Williams are both being paid lile high level probowl players and they consistently disappear in games. Bad signings by Schneider.

10. "…you don't have the linebackers to overcome difficulties up front."
    The thing is… we shouldn't be having the difficulties up front to begin with. We have 2 interior d-lineman that make a combined $30M (40?) a year and a third that was the best run defender in the draft and gets double-teamed. We've got one of the best pair of edges in the league. We've even got capable secondary blitzers. We knew our linebackers were going to get targeted all year. We knew they were the weak link. We all said many times that good coaches like Shanahan and McVey and Ben Johnson are going to know exactly how to exploit them. It's Macdonald's job to not let them get exploited by using our defense's strengths. The salary cap is the NFL's great equalizer. You have this much money to spend and where do you want to spend it? We could have had a Roquan Smith if we weren't paying Jamal Adams and Quandre Diggs $30M this year, but everyone wanted to go for it.

11. It’s very easy to change the way you align so the LBers and DLine have fewer responsibilities and can play faster. The risk goes up a little bit but the speed of reaction does too, I’m just not totally sure that works with a 3-4 base concept as well when your outside LBers are more pass rushers than run defenders…but you bunch the Dline to the strong side so they only have one gap, rotate the LBers to the opposite side so they only have one gap, and boom fewer reads. Problem is you’re man-ed up on each edge so only one guy has a chance to make a tackle if the play goes to either edge, and you’re LBers better be able to get off blocks if the play goes up the middle. Conceptually it’s not hard, execution…I dunno.

12. Fire JS, we need to modernize our team and foundation.

13. With Baltimore, Mac played with a lead almost ALL the time. With this current offense under Grubb, we're playing from behind 24/7… Grubb doesn't belong in the NFL..

14. seahawks will finish 6-11

15. The team needs to show up to the games. Was so hard to watch

16. We knew there would be wrinkles . I am of the opinion we should stay the course. It appears we are moving in the right direction. Need another off season to bring in the necessary pieces as well as The coaching staff getting a season under the belts .

17. maybe NEXT YEAR? we get an o line??????????

18. See y’all Sunday 😂😂😂

19. What trips me up is the fact that other teams have young players on defense and implemented a new scheme and they look alright. We look like straight shit even with a defensive guru, young studs on defense, and a few vets that still got it. I believe a turnaround is coming but damn this is frustrating!

20. It’s scheme. The way Mac wants the front 7 to play requires true NT, massive men up front that don’t move and truly eat and absorb blocks. Our Dline has talent, but lacks 1-2 true anchors in the middle of the defensive line. Idk how you fix other than continuing to address the front 7. I wonder if we were to be in 4-3 with bigger edges on early downs and 3 linebackers on the field.. maybe that would fix the run d but idk man.

21. They just implode,every game…torture!

22. …. Stockholm syndrome

23. Macdonald's recent trades are addressing this. RRH and Ernest Jones. They just need to settle in and learn the new system.

24. Brendon I think you should work for the seahawks 😂

25. Coach needs to change his name to Ronald McDonald

26. I really like the charts and what can be determined from them. Great job Brendon!

27. This has to be the worse Seattle Defense in years. They need to look for secondary and LB help this off season. The corners they have aren't good enough under this system

28. It's looking more and more like a talent gap.

29. Change from like to dislike. You could’ve said all of this in four minutes. I like your YouTube videos, but you keep repeating yourself over and over.

30. Could Macdonald take a break of play calling and let AD call plays? Try something new? Can’t get much worse

31. Puka 75+
    Kupp 75+
    Stafford +200

    Parlay that. If u feeling frisky add
    +85 rushing

32. Very interesting on why we are not seeing all the exotic packages of McDonald
