Russell Wilson...25 of 33 for 320 yds.  You tell me.

 

Just saying...you can spin this how you want.  Front 7 was very good.  The rest of the D was noodle like.  Would that have been enough if Olsen did not end drives with drops and DWill not fumble?  Yes.  But, did not change the fact the pass coverage sucked.

 

I'll spin it as allowing 12 points and I'll take that every week and be more than happy, as you should be too.

Allowed 12 points to a team that normally scores 30+.

 

Don't sweat the small stuff.

That was last year, I don't know how good Seattle will be this year.  What I do know is that we did not attack the receiver when they entered each zone in our zone coverage and we surely didn't play enough man coverage which was likely caused by our emphasis on stopping the run. Hopefully this won't be a consistent issue because guys like  Brady and Brees will eat us up, which surely isn't the small stuff.

I don't assume we will have the same strategy against passing teams. I would expect more blitzes and pressure, fewer 3 down linemen play.

Special Teams - F

 

We had like 1 punt return the whole game, a very unimpressive one at that, and way too many fug ups.  We might have limited their returns, but we never even had any of our own.

 

Special Teams was fuging atrocious today.

 

I don't know how in the hell we only managed 7 points.  The offense looked crisp for the most part, but it just seemed bad stuff happened at key moments that limited our chances.  I think we had like 3 drives in the 2nd half... one of which ended in Deangelo's fumble.

Yeah you have to figure we game planned for Seattle like we will for Buffalo. I just hope it results in better coverage or Buffalo isn't as good. Either one is fine with me.

Interesting how people want to argue that the defense, which played very well overall, has all these problems, and they don't seem to want to discuss an offense that only put 7 points on the board.  If you're looking for a place where we really need to improve, I don't think it's on the defensive side...

You mean aside from only allowing 12 points?

 

 

Front 7 gets credit for that IMO.  Not the secondary.  Geez Zod, they did not break up 1 pass, whiffed on a couple of tackles.  Not fair to the front 7 to say the secondary was as good as they were.  Give the front 7 an A+ but the other guys have lots of work to do.

      In a perfect world he’d play out his contract and if he looks great you can tag or extend him. But I wouldn’t offer more than a third. And I wouldn’t extend up front

      I am not endorsing or rejecting.. just commenting. NYG GM Schoen and Morgan are like, vacation buds. Did the Burns trade already.  If we had interest it should be do-able. One year rental? Could be cheap. But it would need to be. Maybe a player could go back to them. More than that? Like trade for and extend him? I don’t know enough about him to really say about that. What LG just said sheds some light.    In a general sense, we have done well with our late rounders but the reason for that may apply less going forward. Tillis referenced this as well in his combine interview the other day. When you have holes everywhere it is easy to fill them with a draft pick, but once you have gotten things to a certain level that changes. At that point maybe a late round pick doesn’t upgrade your team like it did n previous seasons.  Hence the low picks become less impactful for us, there is less utility. Which could play into them being more willing to use them in a trade.
