As we’ve been doing for several years now, we’ll break down the Pittsburgh Steelers’ opponent each week, telling you what to expect from a scheme and individual standpoint. This year, Jonathan Heitritter and I will cover the opposing team’s defense. I will focus on the scheme, Jonathan on the players.
Today, scouting the Seattle Seahawks’ defense.
ALEX’S SCHEME REPORT
The run defense has not been good throughout the year. They’re allowing 4.5 YPC yards per carry, tied-23rd worst in football while allowing a whopping 20 rushing scores. That’s 29th across the league. It’s no surprise they’ve allowed 48 runs of 10 or more yards, tied-22nd in the NFL.
