Broncos Coach was recently quoted saying that Seahawks defense is nothing new, its the same old defense we have had the past few years. I don't know about you all, but I take that as a compliment. What he was saying in affect, is that in spite of the absences of Sherman, Chancellor, Avril, Bennett, that the Legion of Boom Defense is still alive and well,
I think most will realize that, after the upcoming game in Denver, Back Bigger and Badder than they ever were.
We unloaded a bunch of aging players who couldn't stay health and who's performances, had diminished even when they were able to stay on the field.
Maybe I'm dreaming and being overly optimistic, I've been guilty of that in the past, but I really do see something special brewing this season for the Seahawks, on both sides of the ball. Our defense seem to hold its own just finde agains some o fthe best offenses in the NFL in preseason, at least while the cream of our crop was on the field anyways.
Our offense is much improved, giving Russell more time to let his pass plays develop and the magic with his receivers this year is undeniable. I don' remember seeing our offensive line open up creases for our Running Backs and Half Balks, since the days of Marshawn Lynch.
I have always maintained that our running backs were never the problem, our offensive line coulnd't create opportunities for them to run. Marshawn got tired of tearing himself up trying to make openings where there were none, and ultimately opted retirement over pouning his head against a brick wall and embarrassing himself.
I envision the Seahawks having a record breaking running game, this season, and that is not to diminish the improvement we have seen in Chris Carson and Mike Davis, It's clear that they worked their asses off in the offseason and are back bigger and badder than ever. They both would have shined last season behind this offensive line. The same is true for CJ Prosise, he was another injury statistic stemming from a terrible offense line and trying to make something from noshing.
i do think that it is worth mentioning and giving credit to the offensive coaches and coordinator who has facilitated our offensive line and play strategies so that our running and passing games are functional once again. Even C.J. seems to be in his element this season, perhaps because they are finally using him the way he should be used.
I can''t wait for kickoff tomorrow in Denver, I'm so hoping that all the media critics find themselves backtracking and eating crow all next week, as they try to explain away why The Seattle Seahawks, are not the piss poor collection of misfits they have all tried to convince the public that they are.
I see so much talent and potential greatness all over the Seahawks 53 man roster and on the practice squad as well. I couldn't have asked for a better breakdown and final call than what Pete and John gave us. The real star I'm keeping my eye on, is Shaquem or Griff, as seems to be his adopted name now. That guy has brought some real magic to the Emerald City, and I'm going to try and make it to every game in Seallte to see that miracle unfold on the filed at the CLINK.
