Seahawks Defense

As training camp comes soon
not only will be seeing what
the Seahawks offense will
look under Ryan Grubb we 
have to see  Michael Macdonald
defense looks like.

Though I am not a follower of
what Macdonald did with the
Ravens and the Michigan 
Wolverines before that I am
going to search back and see
how it went. I will give info 
what I find. I am sure the 
preseason will give us some
idea though it will be seeing
the backups a good part of
the time.

The last few years under Pete
Carroll we didn't see a lot of
the starters in the preseason
games. I thought it might be
different in game three but
it wasn't. I wonder getting off
to slow start wasn't helped not
playing any preseason games

With Mike Macdonald we could 
see more of the starters in the
preseason. Have the reserves
and those trying to make the
squad in the second half.

The Seahawks defense we have
to see an improvement stopping
the running game. Much like
their rushing offense they were
one of the worst in the NFL.

Having Leonard Williams for
the whole season and first round
pick Bryon Murphy 2 should see
more and Mike Macdonald scheme
be different to. Having Jarran Reed
in the middle though Williams
and Murphy there we can hope for
good things.

Dre'Mont Jones didn't have a good
first year however the Seahawks
hope for better things. Though listed
as defensive end they are expected
to see him at edge rusher some of
the time too. Boye Mafe beginning
his third season the Seahawks
are hoping for greater things. 
Uchenna Nwosu other edge rusher
only played six games last year.
The Seahawks hope for a good
return this season. The Seahawks
have Darrell Taylor as well. He will
have to need good camp to get
playing time or be on the team.
We hope the best for him. Derick
Hall second round pick Seahawks
had last year we hope improvement
from him in year two.

The Seahawks will have two new
starting inside linebackers this
year. They will be important to
stopping the run as well.Right
now is keeping them healthy. 
They drafted Tyrice Knight
this year in the 4th round.
Have to see how this rookie
does. He could be important.

Devin Witherspoon  last year's
first pick and the Seahawks best
defensive player is expected to
start at nickel back. He will be 
all over the field and be used 
wherever needed. 

Riq Woolen and Michael Jackson
are slated as the two cornerbacks.
They both didn't have good seasons 
last year for the most part. They
will need to play better or their
playing time will be cut down.

Julian Love returns at free safety 
where he had a good season last
year. We hope for the same or
better. Rayshawn Jenkins comes
over from Jacksonville to be
strong safety. 

We hope the best. If the Seahawks
improve to be in the top half in
the NFL on defense making the 
playoffs should happen.

Enjoy your summer and we hope
for a good fall and winter.

I know there are several sites
that cover the Seahawks and
I hope this will be one of them.
Thank you!
