Seahawks Defense Heading Into Preseason

The Seahawks defense right now the
starters haven't changed. Rookie Nick 
Emmanwori is listed as the third safety.
Just like Devon Witherspoon is listed
as the nickel back and moves around 
on the field Emmanwori will do so in
similar fashion. 

Emmanwori is having a very good camp
so it will be interesting to see where
he is planted during preseason. The
starters not playing a lot in preseason 
we could Emmanwori in a lot of different 
situations and see how things work out.
He could play the standard safety spot 
as well as the nickel back. He is listed
at 6'3 so he could go against tall receivers
as Julian Love is 5'11 and Colby Bryant
at 6'1.   Nickel back would depend whether 
a speedster or not. We could see the 
Seahawks try Love at nickel too. The
importance is for the defense to mix
things up to keep the offense off guard.

DeMarcus Lawrence is listed as the
edge rusher along with Derrick as 
well.  They have three linebackers 
however how much they play will
depend on the other team passing 
or not. We know Ernest Jones IV
will be in most every play however 
the other linebackers could change.
Preseason we will see different.
The defensive line will be three up
front with Byron Murphy ll in at
nose tackle.

Enjoy the first preseason. Let you 
know it goes. Go Hawks!
