Jared & David Say ‘Let Bo Do Bo’ — Will That Play Against Seattle’s No.2 Defense?

We dive straight into the Broncos vs Seahawks chess match and man, did we get into the weeds. David and Jared talk about how the matchup will hinge on coaching, assignments, and a healthy dose of confusion — Vance Joseph's calls versus Mike McDonald’s disciplined Seattle scheme. We break down how JSN plus Sam Darnold is a nightmare if we show up short at cornerback, especially without Talanoa Hufanga and maybe Riley Moss. David explains why you can't just double JSN every snap and expect to win; you gotta mix coverage, pressure, and sound tackling. Jared and David of course argue about who should shadow JSN and whether Jedi Baron or Chris Abrams-Drain can survive one-on-one looks.

We also spend a chunk talking run defense: Jonathan Franklin-Myers' absence still stings, and the interior line — T.J. Jones, Malcolm Roach, Q. Robinson — needs to show up or Seattle will chew up yards. David gives a little Xs and Os clinic on forcing third-and-long and getting Sam Darnold into messy pockets to create turnovers. Bottom line: if we coach smart and play assignment-sound football for four quarters, we have a chance; if not, Seattle will expose our gaps. This is a defensive game more than anything, and it’s a fun, tense dance to watch.
