it seems like teams that come to Seattle try to match the Seahawks physicality and silence the crowd, they focus so much on trying to deliver punishment and trash talk that they miss regular assignments and get stupid penalties. Rams and Saints perfect examples.
but of course, they end up getting out muscled in the departments that really matter (blocking/getting off blocks and not missing tackles) rather than on just taking guys out.
Kam Chancellor is a good example of this team's toughness. Controlled chaos. When you see him tackling a ball carrier, its always extremely violent looking, but he rarely gets out of control and miss the tackle like a lot of "enforcers" do. (Im looking at you Donte Whitner)
as well as Lynch, of course. Yea, hes looking for contact and runs guys over, but hes always looking to get upfield and get yards, rather than just look for people to punish
