Please correct me if I'm wrong. I was watching, I believe the Bills game on 9/18. The defense of Bill's on suspected run downs played a 4/3 and on passing downs a 3/4. This could be a scheme problem for Seahawks. They should offer Quinn of Dallas a future head coaching job to leave Dallas. He would turn this defense around
I expected the offense to be a lot worse than it is and the defense to be a bit better than it is. I just hope they get better as the season rolls along. There are plenty of mistakes from which to learn.
My thoughts exactly. I thought the defense was going to be average with room to grow. It's stunk instead. I expected the run game to be very good, maybe great. It's been pretty rough so far. I expected the passing game to be real bad. It's been totally fine. Surprises all around.
Everyone has been so worried about Geno that the defense and lack of talent has been ignored until now. That seems even more surprising after you lay out the stats of how bad they really are. Taylor is a huge liability against the run and setting the edge with him just doesn't happen. Is it possible that the D line we have is just not good against the run? Besides Big Al out line has allowed everyone to get to the second level and take out our linebackers. Barton has always done a good job of taking himself out of the play with poor angels. This has been an issue since he was at Utah. I believe Brooks is a solid player as of Sunday he was leading the NFL in tackles but if the d line is letting every guard get to the second level he has little chance of stopping anyone before they hit 5 yards. Josh is not good in run support as a strong safety and when he is there in the alley to make a play he takes bad angles and allows 18 yard td's.
At this point all I want to see is improvement in the young guys. If we see the young guys getting better through the season I don't care if we lose. They will get refined by fire and we will get better picks which we obviously desperately need
Setting The Edge- Once they let K.J. Wright go last year, the Seahawk defense has left the edge wide open, to be run over every game so far this year. The rookies are not staying home to play their positions. I agree with you Ken, it appears that Pete and John may have gotten lucky putting together a SB team the first time around ? Now they have to prove IF they still have that magic to put together a winning 'Dynasty'. After 3 games, no doubt in my mind, they are in a rebuild mode !
I guess we will find out how bad we are when we play the Lions.

We're missing our best defensive player, our top CB and 3rd,4th, and 5th best CB.
We don't need to sit Taylor, just play him as a DT or DE in a 3-4. He can do it. He'll be better than last year.
Voila, fix those problems and we are better if not great.

Not to mention KJ’s nose for screen passes.
