One bright spot on the defense in Seattle

[RunKC]

Looks like we have ourselves a NT. Nnandi looks really good.

First play of the game Nnandi holds his own against a double team and forces the RB to go to the other side.




2nd play of the game for the defense. This guy reads the play and makes a great tackle for a short gain.



Few plays later. This was an excellent rush. Love the effort.



Nnandi had to take a breather for a few plays. This was the first play Bailey checked in vs the run and look at what happened? They ran right at the mother****er and washed him completely out of the play.

Basically, they're blocking dummies for TEs and guards. Can't read. Can't react. Don't fill. Rarely tackle. All the things you need and want from your ILBs you won't find in ours.

Poe turned out to be a decent player, but a lot of mocks had us taking Keuchly. Wonder what might have been had Carolina passed on him.

Well, we had DJ and Belcher playing inside and Houston and Hali (both healthy) playing OLB.

Poe was a good pick, IMO. If anything, I think we ultimately wore him down by ignoring the DL rotation for too long.
