I think this is good competition, but it's hardly like playing the 2013 Seahawks defense. Some people are acting like it is so they can claim we're an unstoppable powerhouse if our offense puts up some points against them. On the other hand, there are fans that will really downplay their defense way too much so they can act like it's no big deal if the Bengals score a lot.
In reality, we should probably look somewhere in between to make our conclusions. This Seattle defense is probably pretty darn good, but probably not elite as they once were. It will still be a good test and it will absolutely be impressive if Andy and company look great yet again.
Their defense relies a lot more on their pass rush than the 13 squad did.
Why? because Cary Williams is terrible and can be exploited.
They can't double AJ and whomever we put at WR2, be it Jones or Sanu.
Kam will have to cover Eifert, not even Bobby Wagner can cover him as a LB.
