The challenge is their secondary and LBs stink in coverage. Blitzes take more bodies away from coverage. Their DL needs to be better.
the D is built on the DL and the CBs. The DL has had trouble getting to the QB this season, especially in the past month. If this doesn't change, I doubt it matters who is the D coordinator.
We’ll see. He does seems to be a second late often. That could be speed or it could be recognition trouble for a rookie.
23 second possession. They’re back to the Brian Johnson magic.
I don't have a lot of trouble with that. I think it was a 1st down throw to DeVonta where the plan was for him to get OOB, but the pass was high which enabled him to be tackled just inside the sideline. 2nd down Hurts threw it away under pressure. Third down should have been a 1st down, but Gainwell was too close to A.J. Brown, which enabled his defender to be in the pass pattern, and thus caused Hurts to throw the ball high to avoid Gainwell's defender.

I thing I’ve never figured out. Why not the first drive of second half come out and run the same script you ran to open the game ?
pretty inauspicious display by the Birds' D on the opening drive of the 2nd half.
10-10, with 10:05 left in the 3rd qtr

The D hasn’t been near as bad as it was. That may be the Lock Effect.
The O shot themselves in the foot on the Kelce false start. Should have been 14-0.
That 2nd down screen pass may have been the worst play design I’ve ever seen. There were four unblocked Seattle defenders near Swift.
did he get rolled? Or did Gainwell (I think that's who ran the ball) run into the back of him?
