The Seahawks have made a handful of changes defensively at corners, safety and linebacker, but players say these changes have only fueled them to get better.

“It’s a great mentality,” Love said. “When things change and change, some guys can get into their feelings, some guys can get isolated. You see it all the time in the league, but this team got closer. Guys got relegated, promoted, whatever it was. We We’ve been changing a lot of things, but we’re focused on our goal and our goal is just to win games, play good Seahawk football and make this community proud.

Sunday’s win showed that the defense continues to pile good games after good games.

“Just trust what we do,” Woolen said. “We have one of the best secondary players in the league and we trust each other very well. We knew going into the game we had to be more physical and eliminate any explosives and we feel like we did a great job of doing that today .”

On the other side of the ball, Geno Smith has seen the defense dominate and show they are ‘building something’.

“We talk about complementary football,” said Smith. “We’re talking about championship-level football. When you have a defense that plays the way they play, shutting down offenses at a high rate week after week, it gives you a chance to win every game.” We’re going to go out there and play clean and we’re controlling time of possession, doing a great job on third down, getting into the red zone, giving those guys a lead to play with, they’re going to get even better I think The defense is excellent And I think they can get better and I think they will.”
