Re: PFF grades
there was some player turnover, no more Wagner, but that was a pretty significant turnaroundSibelius Hindemith wrote: ↑Thu Oct 14, 2021 4:22 pmI thought that was about playing a bunch of crappy teams and teams using back-up quarterbacks. Plus, they added Dunlap mid-season.Donn Beach wrote: ↑Thu Oct 14, 2021 3:11 pmOkay, for me that would be a function of how the entire defense played. Its like last season, the defense was shitty and then it got good, was that because the players all decided to play better? Or did the coaches iron out the confusion with the defense in general. I am not saying the score isn't true, it just doesn't tell me a lot
At one point in 2020, Seattle was last in the NFL in yards allowed per game and ostensibly lost for solutions. Then, defensive end Carlos Dunlap was traded to the team, safety Jamal Adams returned from injury, and all was restored for this former defensive juggernaut.
This year, the Seahawks have given up a league-worst 450.8 yards per game. The problem this time around is Dunlap and Adams have been on the field all season.
The defensive turnaround the Seahawks made in the second half of 2020 was perhaps the most noteworthy one in the league. A team that had just nine sacks through the first seven games finished with 46 – good for seventh in the league. A team that was once giving up more yards than anyone in football finished a respectable 15th in points allowed.
No, the Seahawks didn’t resemble anything close to those Legion of Boom-led squads that ended up in two Super Bowls. But they transformed into a legitimate defense that gave the team a chance to win each week. Had quarterback Russell Wilson – who’s now out for several weeks because of a finger injury – played reasonably well in last season’s playoff loss to the Rams, Seattle likely would have advanced. So what’s going on this season?
“A lot of it is just figuring out using people in different ways. I think it’s more so just the communication,” Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner said. “Last year we had guys like a K.J. (Wright), and we have more spots that were solidified. This year it’s more guys playing different roles. We just have to focus and master the roles that are being asked of us to do.”

Re: PFF grades
we were happy to see Griffin go, that wasn't supposed to hurt

Our CBs have sucked but he has been below average for a winless team......Donn Beach wrote: ↑Fri Oct 15, 2021 7:53 amwe were happy to see Griffin go, that wasn't supposed to hurt

Re: PFF grades
yeah, not having Wright on this team might be a factor in their issues, but nobody felt losing Griffin should be an issue
Re: PFF grades
And there is no evidence that we would be any better with him. We sucked just as bad with him the first half of last season.Donn Beach wrote: ↑Fri Oct 15, 2021 12:44 pmyeah, not having Wright on this team might be a factor in their issues, but nobody felt losing Griffin should be an issue
