Do you think they can be a top 10 defense this year with the addition of Peterson, a healthy Hamlin and the continuing maturation of Tatupu and Hill?
Jeremy Green: Top 10? No I would say they are a top 5 defense next season. They have everyone back plus Peterson to go with two excellent young 2nd year guys in Tatupu and Hill. Herndon will be more healthy and I have heard a lot of good things coming out of there on Jennings.
Green did the ESPN.com Offseson overview for the NFC West, which makes sense as his dad coaches Arizona (he often shows his favoritism for the Cardinals in his analysis). Sometimes he is not the most knowledgeable guy (he says Ashworth will likely play right tackle, with Locklear moving to left guard). I think it is more out of laziness or not following the teams too closely. He was the director of pro personnel for the Browns for a couple of years and an NFL Scout for 11 years. Moving Locklear over and having Ashworth at right tackle might even make the most sense, especially from a scounting perspective. Jeremy Green is not the most likely person to praise the Seahawks, so the fact that he thinks we should be a Top 5 defense is an especially big compliment to the talent on the team.
