The unsung hero of the resurgence of the Seahawks defense

Over the first half the season, the Seahawks had one of the worst defenses in the NFL. The team failed to create turnovers, generate QB pressure or stop the passing game. Once Quandre Diggs stepped onto the field, the defense got some of its swagger back.

To all my colleagues and friends, I have stated from day one of this season the only way our defense would succeed would be to have a tone-setting presence in the secondary. We all know Shaquill Griffin has taken a huge leap forward, however he is more of the agile player who excels in ball skills as opposed to a physical presence.
