Kirwan breaks down the defense

Nice nugget:

I asked an opposing coach what he would do against this defense, and he said, "I wouldn't be in too many two-back sets because they play it so well. I wouldn't put my best receivers on a single receiver side on the line of scrimmage because they press so well. I wouldn't spend a lot of time trying to practice against all the looks because there are too many to go over. I might consider more bunch-set passing to get them in zone looks, but you have to watch out for Cam Chancellor blitzing off the look and I might prefer the one back spread run game over the heavy sets."

Another coach laughed when I asked, simply adding, "play them away from Seattle or there's no chance right now."

He talked a lot about our defense on Movin the Chains today as well.

Seems reasonable. I think our defense can shut down Offenses like SF and Houston, we will have some struggle with more creative and spread like NE, GB, ATL and NO

^Not sure we "shut down" Houston.

I hope to see it happen, though!
