When we talk about known rushers, it's really the unknown rushers that make that Baltimore defense special. They drop out defensive ends and do things that are very similar to some of the things that we do as well, the zone blitzing and protecting the deep part of the field.
Last week, the Seahawks defense managed to put the clamps on the Denver Broncos and their rookie quarterback Bo Nix. It registered three takeaways, held Nix to only 138 passing yards on 49 dropbacks, and gave up only one late touchdown in a 26-20 win.
They got a tough defense. Those guys fly around, especially the secondary guys. My message to the running backs is, 'Hey, go out there fight fire with fire. Match their intensity and then add some.'
Historically they've always had a good defense, and they have a bunch of good players.
