Seahawks defense dominates first padded practice of training camp

The most encouraging development from Seahawks training camp so far has been how well the defense has performed against what should be a potent offense. As the pads went on that trend continued, as the defense reportedly dominated Monday’s drills. The secondary has gotten most of the acclaim but yesterday it was the new-look front-seven that stepped up.

Best of all, the front line was especially stingy against the run, with Dre’Mont Jones, Jarran Reed and Bobby Wagner helping limit the offense to a total of one yard on six carries.

With top two running backs Ken Walker and Zach Charbonnet both out that should probably come with an asterisk. However, run defense was this team’s greatest weakness last year, so if these gains continue into the season it could mean a huge bump for their ceiling.
