This is not your older sister’s Seahawks defense. Seattle’s defense will give up yards. No longer is the defense designed to stop everything from happening because at this point Seattle just doesn’t have the players, like Kam Chancellor, who are capable of imposing their will on opposing offenses.
Seattle’s defense will give up yards in hopes of not giving up chunk plays and lots of points. The Rams scored 29 points and had 477 total yards. Stop the run the best you can and keep receivers in front of you: This is the Seahawks philosophy in 2019. Mostly, it works and it did so against the Rams.
