The defense (MERGED)

Holding Seattle to 17 is not surprising when you consider they were barely on the field in the first half. What worries me is the two long drives (85 & 91 yds) that the D couldn't stop in the 4th Q.

While I'm pleased with the 3-0, I've gotten greedier and want us to go 7-0 - which won't happen unless the D plays lights out football. As I said in another thread - we must use Lavar as a pass rusher - even if he doesn't get sacks, he will almost certainly attract double teams, which will free up the other D-linemen or LBs for sacks. I for one miss Ron Warner - the guy wasn't a great DE, but he always seemed to be in their backfield last year. Philip Daniels and Wynn are useless at rushing the pass.
