We should have a strong DL and the DBs gotta be one of the deepest positions on the team with all types of players that can matchup to different offensive Playstyles. On offense the big question mark is going to be OL and how well players can adjust to the new scheme that grub is bringing.

@@The_Legion_of_12s I personally think the safety position is very deep. We have Love and Jenkins who can play either spot which gives us big time versatility and the ability to disguise looks because you never know what the safeties are going to do and they can be interchanged on any given down. Behind them you have Cobe Bryant who like love can play some nickel or even outside CB and has shown himself to be a very versatile player with great physicality and a lot of upside as a cover guy. Kvon Wallace is a guy who also brings plenty of experience and versatility to the team and graded out pretty well in coverage. Then you round out the group with last year's rookie Jerrick Reed who is the biggest unknown but definitely has upside and showed at the least he will be a special teams contributor. To me it's a super solid group, 4 guys with plenty of starting experience in the league, lots of versatility that McDonald will be able to use as he sees fit to matchup with opposing offenses from week to week. The LBs definitely gave potential but they are the most unproven group of the defense and depth is a concern considering the 2 projected starters will be coming off of injury and have yet to participate in team activities.

And also, his scheme is obviously wildly respected as there are now 4 DCs in the league who worked under him - all getting hired this year. So I think his situation is special and his scheme is special so that's why I have more faith in him - but we'll have to see. :)

Williams is a top 10 safety and picked off another end zone pass at the end of the 4th. The only 1 that was mildly lucky was the one Humphrey blocked. Lamar & their offense dropped 33 on an elite 9ers defense without their best RB, with a mediocre WR room, with a 1st year OC, and without Andrews.

Prob why they let Queen walk. The 1 thing their roster needs is a real edge threat besides Van Noy. Their secondary is great, LB is great, safeties are great, DT is great, but they need edge help. I do respect the 9ers roster as impressively talented despite me being a Seattle fan, but the 9ers & Cowboys do get to stat pad vs an easy NFC that lacks real competition compared to the AFC bloodbath.

All good AFC defenses shut Purdy down

You mentioned Kyle's ability to adjust. But no mention of Purdy. And no mention how extraordinary his processing speed is (which was on display in this game and in your video). The kid's ability to adjust and grow after every game is also extraordinary. That ability allows him to make throws including the one to BA between 4 defenders where Purdy threw to a spot that wasn't a part of BA's route (basically throwing him open) in the same game against the seahawks that you show in this video.

I'm not going to deny that Purdy has tons of highlight throws with great anticipation and accuracy over the middle. But I think that where you attribute that to Purdy you could just as easily give all of the credit to Shannahan for designing his WRs open and telling Purdy exactly where to put the ball. I guess we won't know until these two are separated but I am of the opinion that it really isn't processing but is just putting the ball where Shanahan said it would be on time. What Purdy does bring is his elite play making and improv abilities where he is able to be productive even when the play breaks down and is (usually) safe with the ball. I disagree with the "that wasn't part of BA's route". If you know when that was I would love to go watch the film of it but I think most of the credit should go to the best offensive mind in the game. Again I could be wrong but we simply don't have the answer to who should get most of the credit for this produciton. Obviously it is split - I just think we split it differently. Don't get me wrong the marriage of Purdy and Shanahan is special - but with Shanahan's track record going back to Washington of getting MVP level play out of RG3, Matt Ryan, Jimmy Garopolo and now Brock Purdy, I am hesitant to say that this is something special about Brock. He is productive but Shanahan has always been productive. I would love to see them separated so we could really answer this question but I think the real threat in San Fran is Shanahan more that Brock. If Purdy was a top 10 QB San fran would have taken the Lombardi this year because their roster was miles better than KC. Thanks for your comment and I can't wait to play your 49ers next year because these matchups are going to be so fun!

In terms of defensive construction Seahawks DL 2024 > Ravens 2023 Ravens LB 2023 > Seahawks LB 2024 Ravens Safeties 2023 > Seahawks Safeties 2024 Seahawks Corners 2024 > Ravens 2023 It’s the perfect trade off. People make it seem like Macodalds team was like 2013 Seattle where 11 players were looked highly upon. Nobody wanted most of these guys on defense. They were plug and play. They only had 4-5ish guys (Marlon being hurt) that were certified ballers. Our DL has better potential and out CB room is miles better. A lot of project players for Mike to work on. We’ll be good. I expect some communication wrinkles but we will be rolling

I couldn't agree more. I think this is what people have been missing about the Ravens. They were not an elite roster. Jadeveon Clowny was your top edge? I agree that the hawks are going to have a better DL and Corner room. While yes Baltimore had better linebackers and safeties, those positions simply aren't as important and I think they will be able to figure that out. Should be a top 10 defense once they are able to figure out the scheme and get everything smoothed out. Thanks for watching and this summary!

Seattle has better DL & edge depth than the '23 Ravens, but there's also a massive dropoff between their LB & safeties. MM's whole scheme relies on those 2 positions for the disguises, there's a pretty big gap from Roquan/Williams/Hamilton and Dodson/Baker/whatever LB is currently healthy + Love/whoever's at safety. Ravens have a top ILB + the best safety, that makes a big difference. Hawks will be better but the roster isn't there quite yet. '24 will def look better but Hawks need better LBs & safeties to really maximize MM's scheme.

@@The_Legion_of_12s How many teams really have an elite defensive roster besides the 9ers though? Ravens had a pro bowl DT, a top nose tackle, 3x pro bowl corner, the best safety, a top 1-3 ILB plus a lot of good depth. MM took a top defense to #1, but they were already top 5-10 before him. That's an elite roster. They also had Calais in '22, he's a future HOFer. Clowney sucked in Seattle, but he was always a good player- 3x Pro Bowler, #1 overall pick. Talent was always there, his problem was work ethic & injuries. MM always had a good roster on the Ravens, they always dump all their resources into defense. That's why they were top 5 in 2020 and top 10 in a bunch of other metrics before MM. Pro Bowls aren't a great metric of overall roster talent, a lot of great players get snubbed when they have the talent to make a Pro Bowl. Queen made a PB in '23, but that was cuz of Roquan. Queen's just a worse version of Brooks that got carried by a great team around him. Armstead & Greenlaw are hugely important to the 9ers defense but neither's ever made a Pro Bowl. 9ers were noticeably worse in the SB once Greenlaw got hurt, but he's not a PBer. Greg Newsome's never made a Pro Bowl, but most people would agree the Browns had 1 of the best CB duos. Bengals lost both safeties this year & their defense nosedived, it does matter. I do agree they're generally less important positions, but for MM's scheme they do matter a lot. Even with MM, Ravens' defense improved a lot after they got Roquan. I do agree on some stuff, but you have to look at the NFL as a whole- most teams don't have a ton of defense stars on the roster. It's not about big contracts. Elite rosters are about good depth, not just Pro Bowls. Good defenses have a lot of good players, not just top-heavy rosters that rely on 1 player to function. Steelers are a great example- they have Heyward + Watt, but their defense still sucked cuz they had bad LBs + bad corners. But if TJ Watt's out, Steelers lose a ton of games- they're 1-10 if he's out. Elite rosters are about overall depth, not just accolades.

@@ID0XX Baker is fine, but you're asking 2 LBs to do what Roquan could do. That's what makes Roquan elite and separates him from the others. Baker's better in coverage, Dodson's more of a run specialist. Baker has potential, but no one's proven anything in this new scheme yet. Speed is overrated, Queen's fast but he sucked until Roquan got there. That's why they didn't keep him. Both are also injured, Baker had an MCL in '23 then had wrist surgery. Baker's a fine player but he's not Roquan and that's ok. I'm hyped for the new era, but the hype is getting a little unrealistic. Seattle doesn't have a Roquan. Hawks didn't even have any LBs until like a month ago. Defense should improve, but expectations need to be realistic.

Seahawks brass would easily give away their best 2 or 3 players for Brock Purdy. They would be falling over themselves to get it done. I’m Just glad for the next 5 to 10 years we get to clap Seachicken cheeks twice a season. Bang Bang!

9ers will keep Purdy no matter what imo. They're in win-now mode and can't afford to waste the last couple years of their window. Purdy's average but has proven he can take them to a Super Bowl. Plus the last time the 9ers drafted a QB before Purdy was the Trey Lance fiasco, which was a disaster. They'll either have to way overpay Purdy and lose players, or they go on the QB carousel and risk becoming like a better version of the Broncos- talented roster, but won't go anywhere without a QB. Either scenario is a win-win for me lol
