Seahawks Breakdown: Greg Bell on Sam Darnold, Injuries & Seattle’s Dominant Defense

This week on The Sports Leader, the conversation turned to the Seattle Seahawks' struggles on the ground and in the air. The team's offense has been a mixed bag this season, with a potent passing game but a lackluster running game. The Seahawks' defense, on the other hand, has been a force to be reckoned with, but they've had some issues defending screen passes.

In this episode, the speaker is joined by longtime Seahawks beat writer Greg Bell, who breaks down the team's current challenges. They discuss the impact of the absence of running backs Zach Charbonnet and Kenneth Walker, who are both out with injuries. The Seahawks have had to rely on their passing game, which has been led by quarterback Sam Darnold. However, Darnold's numbers haven't been as impressive as they were last season, and the team's defense has been struggling to contain the opposing team's passing attacks.

The conversation also touches on the Seahawks' defense, which has been a bright spot for the team this season. The Seahawks have been excelling at defending screen passes, thanks in part to the return of safety Nick Emanuari from injury. The team's defensive line has also been a key factor in their success, with Leonard Williams and Byron Murphy making big plays.

If you're a fan of the Seahawks or just want to stay up-to-date on the latest NFL news, this episode is a must-listen. The speaker and Greg Bell dive into the details of the Seahawks' struggles and successes, and offer some insightful analysis on what to expect from the team moving forward.
