This year's defense is probably the worst I've seen at defending screens since Holmgren's last three years.
And they've been pretty good since KJ's second or third year.
We're not talking about man coverage of tight ends.
We're talking about screens.
Don't group them together. They're not the same thing. They're not remotely the same thing. The fact that you grouped them together pretty much invalidates your whole statement. Well, that and the fact that it's laughably incorrect.
Who's talking about man coverage of tight ends? What post are you reading? And since when has Seattle played man to man on any consistent basis? Not ever!!!!!.
I'm talking about seam routes, screen plays and slants. None of which we have defended worth a sh*t for years.
KJ had a great season last year, but during his last 5, 6 years here he was not consistent let'sbe honest. And our defense was and still is dog sh*t at defending those fore mentioned plays and have been for 5, 6 years now...
If you're gonna talk S**t come with something a little stronger than just..... you're laughably incorrect. In other words..... elaborate and more importantly, make sure you're right, cuz last I checked, seam routes and screens are mostly run against zone defense not man to man.
The seam route[1][2][3] is a route, usually played against a zone defense in American football, in which the receiver runs at the edges of a defender's coverage (for example, between the linebacker and safety), thus, on the "seam" between two or more coverages. It is not a route on its own, but the location of another route (typically fly route or post route).
