One bright spot on the defense in Seattle

Kind of weird to me that our run defense is so bad with decent enough talent on the DL. Hittchens and Ragland must be just that bad.

They are, man. They are.

I don't watch other teams' games enough to make up my own mind on the subject, but I'd be very surprised if there's a worse ILB tandem in the league.

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.
