Where's the Defense?

I never thought I'd see the day that our Offense would be the one carrying the Team. It seems like the last 5 or 6 games this defense has been as porous as a sieve.

At Atlanta 392 yards and 45 points

At Green Bay 438 yards and 31 points

Tampa Bay 384 yards and 23 points

Denver 292 yards and 10 points (that one wasn't that bad)

At Giants 459 yards and 34 points (this was IMO the worst)

At Saints 417 yards and 31 points

Now I know we won most of these games but I don't think this will hold true during the post season. Against the saints it seemed like our secondary was out of position way to often and this wasn't the first game it seemed that way. Something needs to change IMO if we are to go far in the playoffs.

In some games (not all but some) we appear to lose intensity on defense after we get a lead. Is that the co-ordinator, the players or both?

I think Trgovac's system has lost its edge the last couple of seasons. And there are now three very good D coordinators available in Mangini, Crennel, and Marinelli (don't laugh at that one). I wouldn't mind seeing any of them after this season but I wont hold my breath.

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
