CR91 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 The Seahawks didn't play a good a game as they did in the Super Bowl. That was not the norm for their defense. That was total suffocation. really. thats your excuse. they had a bad day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vance Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 With sportsmanship like that, it is hard to not want Denver to pound them into the field next time they meet. History is written by the victors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Not even close... Thomas runs like a 4.38 and led the NFL in deep pass receptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 34 Technically 27. If were talking about points the offense put on the defense, then it's 27. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amfootball Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 The Seahawks didn't play a good a game as they did in the Super Bowl. That was not the norm for their defense. That was total suffocation.I agree they didn't play as well vs the Colts but what they did to Denver was more the norm for their D all year. Their D was ranked number one in just about every defensive category and only let up an average of 14 points a game. They also held the Niners who many believe to be the second best team in football to 3, 17 and 17 again in the conference championship game.

Dustin Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 that we had success vs the seahawks and the broncos didnt We had success because we played better than the Broncos did.

I couldn't really find anything on PFF but TY was 6% higher in %deep passes according to advanced stats. I don't know if that's catches or targets though.

HtownColt Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Seattle are just the masters of the cover-3 defense, they run it to perfection"In the first half Sunday, against Manning’s 23 pass attempts, Seattle played one of four versions of Cover-3 16 times, and 11 of those 16 were one of two forms of 3-buzz. Manning completed nine of those 11 passes but for just 43 yards — less than 4 yards per attempt. For reference, during Manning’s 263-game career, including playoffs, he has finished at less than 4 yards per attempt for a game just once — during his rookie year.This aspect of Seattle’s game plan was underscored when Kam Chancellor was briefly injured late in the second quarter. With backup DeShawn Shead on the field Manning attempted six passes, and on the first four of those Seattle played its only four snaps of 3-sky. On none of those six attempts was Shead asked to be an interior hook defender in 3-buzz.Seattle benefited in three ways from the 3-buzz: One, because Denver relies heavily on shallow crossing routes — and not just to Wes Welker — the Seahawks in zone coverage had a more agile defender aligned within or near the hash marks to defend, and deter, those routes.Two, Seattle could capably disguise a changeup coverage called “robber.” Base man-to-man, termed “Cover-1” (which Seattle played three times in the first half, including the Chancellor interception), features a five-man rush with a deep free safety helping man defenders. “Robber” is man-to-man coverage with just four rushing but with an additional safety coming from a deep alignment to “rob” shallow crossers. The alignment of this robbing safety mirrors his alignment of 3-buzz coverage.Seattle played robber just three times in the first half but one was the game’s third offensive play for the Broncos, in which Chancellor uncoiled from deep alignment on Demaryius Thomas, who was rocked some 5 yards backward after catching a shallow cross for a 2-yard gain. That tone-setter required Manning and all his targets to consider the health consequences of their shallow-cross package.While fans usually favor aggressive blitz schemes — which require man-to-man coverage, the “12s” are learning to embrace the mantra of destructive zone defense: “Give them 5 yards and a headache.” Against the Seahawks it’s more like 2 yards and a ruptured spleen.And the last advantage of the 3-buzz is that from the same relatively high-safety alignment, Seattle could employ its seldom-used “quarters” coverage — which features all four defensive backs aligned deep with coverage responsibilities adjusting after the snap based upon the verticality of the receivers’ release.Seattle played just one snap of quarters in the first half but it resulted in, due to a wrecking-ball rush by Cliff Avril, the Malcolm Smith pick-six and, for my money, the play of the game."http://seattletimes.com/html/sports/2022836501_hughmillen05xml.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HtownColt Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Its a lot of articles on the Seahawks and their cover 3 but still like this breakdown of it from them last year, it's quite informative. They just perfected it this year on the way to the SuperBowlhttp://www.fieldgulls.com/2013/7/6/4489230/reloaded-the-seahawks-the-cover-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthetic Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Eat your heart out Broncos fans, this is the media just pulling your tail again. Had he said that we would beat them 50 or 60 times out of 100, the media would be saying how they don't sound very confident going into next season. This is no story and a joke. But of course, there will still be a hundred excuses made for the Broncos and Manning even though they were the favored team in the game and got beat into the ground. 70% of all bets in Vegas were on the Broncos and they got beat this bad. Just goes to show you how wrong 3/4's of the entire league was with crowning these guys after they broke all the records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
