After watching the first five games and then also replaying the games, I've noticed our DB's are not pressing near as much as they did last year. It seems they may be overcompensating their style of play because of the new rules. I know they want to eliminate unnecessary penalties, but I see other teams press and make contact within 5 yards and have even seen teams try to "bend" the rules and get away with minimal contact after 5 yards, just like our DB's were doing last year. The technique is still the same with these teams. However, Seattle's DB's seem to be scared to make too much contact. I saw it with Dallas's corners. They "bent" the rules and the refs let them play. If our DB's played the same way, we might have not given up some of those big pass plays.
Nobody in the secondary is getting turnovers and I know that some of that is due to pass rush, but the coverage does not look like LOB coverage. Is anyone else seeing the same thing?
