Default How did Seattle's defense get so good?

They have pressured Rodgers on every play.
Their record has been 7-9 ish so its not like they drafted in the top 5-7 every year. It appears they have drafted well.
Man; I am jealous.

We have speed as well. It is the schemes. Some of these coaches are letting it lose.

Their D got good by actually putting good defensive players on the field. Shocking right?

I'm still not convinced they have great depth though. I think the key to that game is gonna be turning up the tempo and tiring them out. Seahawks offense is less then scary. Take away lynch and force Wilson to beat you with a bunch of scrubs at WR.

Not rocket science......if you suck hard enough to get earlier draft picks often enough and don't choke on them (see Jesters), you will by default end up with some nice talent.

That and they play aggressive......must be nice.......kudos to them.

Never use the words 'suck' and 'choke' in the same sentence

1. Drafted Earl Thomas in the first round. Awesome free safety.

2. Found Richard Sherman and Kam Chancellor in the fifth round. Sherman is one of the three best corners in football (not exaggerating) and Chancellor is a talented, hard hitter at safety.

3. Red Bryant turned into a superstar - a dominant defensive tackle who completely shuts down the run to his side of the field.

4. Turned the pick we traded them for Deion Branch into KJ Wright, again in the fifth round - Wright is a monster and making tackles all over the field.

5. Found Chris Clemons off the scrap heap - can't stop the run but he can sure rush the passer all day long.

They have maybe the best secondary in football and now with Irvin, Branch and Clemons can rush the passer too. Add to that a crazy home field atmosphere and there's a reason the Seahawks play well at home.
