2013 Seahawks = Hardest team to tackle ever?

Danny Kelly and Jacson from Feildgulls were tweeting along these lines earlier. By 2012 metrics, Percy Harvin led the NFL in broken tackles by a WR with something like 17 (in 9 games), Golden Tate had the highest % of Broken Tackles per touch (29%) for a WR.

So we have the two hardest WR's in the NFL to tackle.

Marshawn Lynch is widely regarded as one of the toughest mofo's in the world to bring down and is usually at or near the top of the heap for yards after initial contact.

To top it off, Russell Wilson led the league in 2012 in a Football Outsiders statistic for QB's labeled "Houdinis." A "Houdini" is when a QB is able to escape a "sure tackle."

Add all this together, and as a team, assuming Percy comes back and is his former self on the field, the 2013 Seattle Seahawks could realistically as a group be one of the toughest teams to tackle in NFL history.

It's so nice to finally be that team that frustrates the hell out of opposing teams and fans.

And this doesn't even take Christine Michael into account.

While Turbin can make an intermediate play now and then, many could have gone for many more yards had he been able to break a tackle or two. Hope he can continue to thicken up his trunk and learn a few things from the team's established tackle-eluders and -breakers.

I don't think strength is the issue for Turbin.

Balance and leg drive is an issue for Turbin, so theoretically lower body strength could be an issue.
