truth on hold Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) Taking nothing away from Seattle's secondary, but that SB was won on the strength of their front four. They got such quick, early pressure that the LBs and DBs were able to flatten out everything in front of it. Manning had no time. GO BILLS!!! No it wasn't, their secondary gives the front 7 freedom to rush the passer, knowing the secondary locks down WRs and is strong in run support too. Seattle had 3 pro bowlers on defense last year, all from the secondary: Sherman, Chancellor, Thomas Edited June 10, 2014 by Joe_the_6_pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganesh Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Front 7's are nice, but in this passing era it shouldn't be lost that the best defense (Seattle) has the best secondary, and an only average front 7 Disagree. If you have a fierce pass rush, the QB is not planting his feet and throwing, but running for their lives. You can win balls games with a great front 7. Just ask Tom Brady./ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the problem is when the front 7 isnt getting pressure ... which happens to the best of them. Then a mediocre secondary is toast. An elite secondary IMO is much more difficult to take out of a game, making them the best unit to structure a defense around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, they say that even a mediocre can look good if he gets a tonne of time in the pocket without pressure as eventually a WR will get open.

They got quick pressure from their front four in the SB which allowed seven in coverage and that back seven was able to flatten out everything in front. Manning never had time because of that front four. Like I said, not taking anything away from their great secondary, but in the case of the SB, it was their front four that was key. Denver had no answer for them. GO BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
