DBs
Penalties (need to be more disciplined)
IMO: clock management, it’s always been sub par.

2. Ifedi in general / Right side of the OLine in pass pro.
3. Defense repeatedly getting shredded by TE & RB screens.
4. Needs more pass rush.
The DBs look pretty good, not all world, but pretty good, minus TT of course.
Seymour":20t82u4k said:Peteball and stubborn ego is #1 issue. All these 3 and outs put even worse pressure on the D and tire them out.
LOBad is #2
Pass protection is #3.
I only put it here because we have the QB to help mitigate the issue and they have learned to win in spite of bottom 1/3 of the league in protection for Russ's entire career here in Seattle.

1. The secondary. We are letting 'barely there' QBs do what they want against us. So far we are beating them. But the secondary still looks like garbage.
This isn't the whole story. No secondary is going to hold up for seven seconds against a pass rush that never gets home. The Legion didn't. Give any QB seven unmolested seconds in the pocket and he'll either reach his fourth read or find someone open on a scramble drill.
The problems you're seeing are DL-related. If a QB hits the top of his drop and has to keep progressing or scrambles to improvise, the secondary has largely done its job. And that's happening on enough plays to where I feel pretty good about the secondary.

This is good news.
Pete is positive about this stuff for multiple reasons and if that "disappoints" some fans that is not a downside. The team can withstand a few sarcastic tweets and forum threads about injury outcomes from a fragile minority.Sgt.

He does this a LOT, super optimistic early in the week, then after the game we hear stuff like "well he just couldn't get right late in the week or in warmups." Just say you don't know. Be vague. I'd rather hear nothing than getting everyone's hopes up.
