Line up Defense...

Scooping up offensive players like a hoover vacuum on Friday night were the backup defensive ends for the Seattle defense. Lawrence Jackson had a total of 3 tackles; all solo, one of them being a sack forcing John David Booty to fumble the ball allowing Jason Babin to recover. Jason Babin, recording 5 solo tackles including a sack was just as dominant against Minnesota's front line. This gives the Seattle Seahawks some vicious depth at the Defensive End position. Kerney and Tapp holding the starting positions (for now) and LoJack and Babin as backups...Can anyone say brick wall? This defensive line has potential to be named among the leagues elite. With Howard Greens performance, I think the interior line has potential to be the best period. If Tubbs stays healthy and we continue to get good play from Rockie Bernard there is no telling what this D-Line is capable of. Add some pro bowl linebackers and some talented guys in the secondary and you've got a super bowl caliber Defense. Now, the defense did look a little weak against the pass, allowing only 52 rushing yards and a wopping 246 passing yards. but I think that has a lot to do with the defense running it's game plan and not adjusting to the pass quick enough. I don't think Mora expected Tavaris Jackson to come out firing. Even with some miss communication and some over commitment to the run, the defense held it's own against a budding young offense in the Vikings. Seattle recovered four fumble; causing five, and Howard green's interception make five total take aways... Not bad at all. Even with that performance I would look for some major improvements from the defense when the Bears come to town. So, gear up and get ready for a good ole fashion slug fest next Saturday. The Bears are a strong run-stopping defense with pro bowl players; as are we. Should be exciting....END....
