As we’ve been doing for several years now, we’ll break down the Pittsburgh Steelers’ opponent each week, telling you what to expect from a scheme and individual standpoint. This year, Jonathan Heitritter and I will cover the opposing team’s defense. I will focus on the scheme, Jonathan on the players.
Today, we are scouting the Seattle Seahawks’ defense ahead of Week 2.

Seattle runs a 4-3 front. San Francisco ran a lot but not especially well versus the Seahawks in Week 1, managing just 3.3 YPC. Defensive back Julian Love was active with 10 tackles while linebacker Ernest Jones chipped in eight tackles.
