seems to me , they got winded quite early vs Seattle, or am I out of my mind on this?
Seemed to me like they didn’t look winded until the second half when everything sped up
Regardless, it wouldn’t surprise me if they wore down quickly. AG has them playing like the Tasmanian Devil
They definitely got winded. The D was out there for 12 out of 15 minutes in the 3rd, during much of which Seattle went uptempo.
Looked like the DL was working hard but hardly ever got home on the pass rush. And the Seattle OL started dominating in the runs too. A bunch of plays that Geno extended and the DBs had to try to cover for a long time.
That combo - long minutes, short breaks, working hard, little success - has got to be absolutely exhausting. Their tackling fell completely apart.
Lack of depth and a rotation on the dline is an issue. Losing Davenport and Cominsky hurts that a lot. We got some guys playing huge snap counts.
