After watching the tape of the Seattle Seahawks’ defense the last two weeks, is there a team that truly wants to line up against this unit over the next month of the season, or possibly in the playoffs?
That’s a fair question, an honest question when I look at the speed of this defense, the aggressive technique in the secondary or the ability of the front seven to fit up the run and put a helmet on the ball-carrier.
This unit is playing faster, and it is showing much more discipline within the scheme, which leads to positive results given the talent at all three levels of the field.
Over the last two weeks, the Seahawks defense has run through the Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers while giving up a total of 368 yards and just six points.
That’s dominant football in today’s game.
This defense is also winning on third downs, and you will have a hard time finding explosive play opportunities down the field because they just don’t exist against this secondary.
With strong safety Kam Chancellor and linebacker Bobby Wagner back in the mix, these last two weeks have reminded us just how special this defense can be at the point on the NFL calendar when the true playoff contenders start to separate from the rest of the league.
“I think our best football is still ahead of us,” head coach Pete Carroll said Monday during his weekly press conference when talking about his defense. “We have a chance to continue to improve and to grow, and that’s a beautiful thing at this time of year.”
