Seahawks CB Tre Brown on epic interception: ‘I showed that I’m back’

When third-year defensive back Tre Brown intercepted Dallas Cowboys quarter-back Will Grier Saturday, Lumen Field erupted.

When Seattle Seahawks defensive back Tre Brown intercepted Dallas Cowboys quarterback Will Grier last Saturday, Lumen Field erupted. Leading 17-14, the Seahawks defense needed to stall a pivotal eight-play fourth quarter Cowboys drive.

Brown’s heroic interception came on play nine, leading to a 11-play Seahawks offensive drive that allowed them to extend the lead.

In the locker room after the game, Brown told reporters that he’s back.

Brown played just six games in 2022 and five in 2021 and will be looking to keep his passion on the field for the Seahawks defense this upcoming season. His epic interception may be just one of many highlights to come in his promising career.

Overall, Seattle’s defense continues to pass the eye test through two preseason games and has allowed just 13.5 points per game and 270 yards per game. In Week 3 they will finish up preseason on the road on Saturday morning (kickoff is 10:00 a.m. Pacific) against the Green Bay Packers.

The Seattle Seahawks have put together a promising roster heading into the 2023 season – and we feel better about this current group than any other team they’ve fielded since the 2015 campaign ended.

Seahawks adding pass rush specialist to Pete Carroll’s staff

They may also need to try things they haven’t on the coaching side, as well.

If the Seahawks defense is ever going to get back to dominant form they’ll need to add some more pass-rushing firepower to their defensive line. They may also need to try things they haven’t before on the coaching side, as well.

On that second note there’s some news to report. According to Bob Condotta at the Seattle Times, the team is expected to hire Michigan State assistant Brandon Jordan to fill a new role on Pete Carroll’s staff: pass rush specialist.

Jordan has previously worked with some Seahawks players as a private coach, but he’ll have his work cut out for him leading the group.

Last season Seattle had decent sack numbers as a team but they also ranked near the bottom in most advanced pass rush metrics. They placed No. 28 in ESPN’s pass rush win rate and also No. 28 in the team pass rush grades from Pro Football Focus.

More absolutely gorgeous pass protection, here. We simply didn’t see this level of pass blocking consistently at any point in the Russell Wilson era.

That pass set Seattle up in field goal range but kicker Jason Myers missed from 47 yards. Chicago still leads 10-0.

2020 NFL Draft: Saints control picks No. 24 and 88, have five total selections

After making trades to acquire Erik McCoy and C.J. Gardner-Johnson, the New Orleans Saints have just five picks in the 2020 NFL Draft.

This isn’t what most New Orleans Saints fans want to worry about right now, but here goes: following Sunday’s wild-card round loss to the Minnesota Vikings, the Saints own pick No. 24 in the 2020 NFL Draft. Their third-round pick is their only other choice in the first 100 selections; that third-rounder will be pick No. 88.

The Saints only have five picks in the upcoming draft following previous trades with other teams, but it’s worth noting those moves brought impactful rookies like center Erik McCoy and defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson to New Orleans. And the Saints had just five picks in the 2019 NFL Draft, too; they still landed big-time undrafted help in All-Pro returns specialist Deonte Harris and defensive linemen like Shy Tuttle and Carl Granderson.

So long as assistant general manager Jeff Ireland and his scouting staff are together, it’s a safe bet they’ll continue to find great prospects. Here are how where each of the Saints’ selections currently stand:

  • Round 1, No. 24
  • Round 3, No. 88
  • Round 4, To be decided (pending compensatory picks)
  • Round 5, To be decided (pending compensatory picks)
  • Round 6, To be decided (pending compensatory picks)

Additionally, here is the full draft order so far. Because the Saints finished the regular season with a better record than the New England Patriots, Buffalo Bills, and whoever loses the remaining wild-card round game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Seattle Seahawks, they own the final slot in the four spaces reserved for teams that suffered first-round playoff exits.

  1. Bengals
  2. Redskins
  3. Lions
  4. Giants
  5. Dolphins
  6. Chargers
  7. Panthers
  8. Cardinals
  9. Jaguars
  10. Browns
  11. Jets
  12. Raiders
  13. Colts
  14. Buccaneers
  15. Broncos
  16. Falcons
  17. Cowboys
  18. Dolphins
  19. Raiders
  20. Jaguars
  21. Bills/Seahawks/Eagles
  22. Bills/Seahawks/Eagles
  23. Patriots
  24. Saints
