Our Seattle Seahawks defense is flat out FIERCE. No, seriously, a Broncos writer, trying to defend their own struggling offense, just gave our guys the biggest compliment possible after the October 15 game at Empower Field at Mile High. While Broncos Country is freaking out about their quarterback Bo Nix’s struggles, the real story for us in the Emerald City is the absolute brick wall our defense has become.
The Front Is Just Built Different
Let’s get straight to it: The Broncos writer, who by the way claims to know “what happened on the film,” straight up admitted our Seahawks have an “absolutely fierce defense.” This isn’t just some casual compliment, either. They said our front is “one of the best in the game.” Think about that for a second. An opponent is calling our defensive line one of the best in the whole damn league!
They also noted our defense “schematically crush average run games.” And here’s the kicker: the Broncos writer themselves described their own run game as “not average: it is poor.” So, if our guys crush *average* run games, imagine what they did to a “poor” one. It’s a no-brainer. Plus, they make it “extremely hard on the back end to complete deep passes.” The broadcast angles, even to their own fans, showed their receivers “were smothered outside of one singular play.” This is the kind of shutdown defense we’ve been dreaming of.
Elite Company for the Emerald City Defense
The Broncos fan was trying to give “perspective” on their team’s early struggles, mentioning they’d played “6 of the toughest defenses in the NFL.” Their two losses this season? Against the “undefeated 49ers and Chiefs.” The implication, even in their own article, is that our Seahawks defense is playing at a level that can make even top-tier offenses look bad. They even mentioned Bo Nix struggled just as badly early last season too, underscoring that our defense is doing what elite defenses do: force quarterbacks into tough spots. When an opposing fan has to point to our defense as the reason *their* offense struggled, you know we’re doing something right.
Look, the season is just getting started, but when an opponent is literally writing articles trying to excuse their offense because our defense is *that good*, you know something special is brewing in the Emerald City. Get ready, 12s, because this defense is here to play.
