The Seahawks defense is talented, but this game is more about the Browns offense

The Seattle Seahawks defense has some extremely talented players including Bobby Wagner, K.J. Wright, Jadeveon Clowney and Shaquil Griffina and the Cleveland Browns have to account for them, but this game feels more about their offense, regardless of what the Seahawks do.

Heading into the game against the Seattle Seahawks, the Cleveland Browns should have opportunities to generate offense as the Seahawk defense has some remarkable talents but they are till trying to put it all together.

The Seahawks are still in the process of transitioning from the defense they rode to the Super Bowl into the next iteration. Gone are players like Michael Bennett, Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor. The trade to acquire Jadeveon Clowney was an effort to add a premier talent and speed up the transition, similar to the Browns trading for Olivier Vernon and Odell Beckham, but it's still evolving.

The Seahawks defensive line is a group of disruptors. Clowney has never been a player that racks up a ton of sacks, but he causes problems for the offensive line and creates plays for teammates. The undersized but overtalented Poona Ford works in a similar manner with his ability to penetrate into the backfield and bubble plays.

That defensive line doesn't have much in terms of premier talent, but they have a solid rotation of players that just keep coming, offering different looks and skill sets for opponents to combat. Rasheem Greene and Quinton Jefferson are tied for the team lead in sacks with two apiece.

The best unit on the defense is their linebackers. Bobby Wagner is as good as any linebacker in the league, K.J. Wright isn't far behind him and they added former Brown and white collar criminal Mychal Kendricks to round out their group.

Kendricks is remarkably effective playing around the line of scrimmage and getting involved in the backfield, adds to their pass rush.

Wagner and Wright also help with the team's zone coverage scheme as the secondary has a really nice player in Shaquil Griffin, while the rest of the group isn't exactly the Legion of Boom. The Seahawks have traditionally been a defense that just lives in Cover-3, so if they continue with that, it shouldn't be a surprise where the secondary is as Baker Mayfield is making his reads.

Little the secondary does will matter if the offensive line can't come up with a better performance than they did against the San Francisco 49ers. The Seahawks aren't as good, but they can mix things up, move guys around and find ways to put pressure on Mayfield. Lining up Clowney across from Chris Hubbard is a terrifying prospect.

The Seahawks have some terrific players on their defense, but so much about this game and this matchup is about the Browns offense rather than anything the defense brings to the table, their ability to respond after getting shellacked last week and playing on a short week against another team that had twice as much time to prepare. Hopefully, the Browns can come out of this game heading into the bye week with a sense of who they are and where things are headed as opposed to trying to find answers.
