The first is not coachable, the 2nd IS and if this team is to contend in 2018, this needs to be cut in half.

Could probably guess but would like to see numbers. Probably 50% of the penalties came from 2-3 players

Most of them were defensive holding or interference. Make NO mistake, penalties are a huge part of Seahawk failures. We don't own the 2013 defense anymore.

You don't maintain that by hammering on the players to work harder on not getting offsides penalties rather than pushing it to the edge to come off that line as fast as possible or jam that receiver at the line or put the hit on someone. You live with some mistimed defensive plays to maintain the aggression that has them going after the ball and whoever has it.

Largent80 wrote:Injuries was part of it, but to blow off the penalties is just incorrect. If you don't think it's a problem then what are you watching?
I saw a TON of 3rd down conversions via penalty. THAT keeps the defense ON THE FIELD, therefore wearing it down and that also contributes to injury.

Just to clear up some discrepencies, Ifedi had 16 accepted penalties and 20 total, which includes both declined and offsetting. Certainly offsetting penalties ought to be included as without them we would have gained an advantage either in the result of the play or the penalty yardage from the other infraction.
Bennett had 15 total flags, 13 of which were pre snap. Obviously they are including declined and offsetting in the pre-snap category, as well they should. Aaron Rodgers has made a lot of hay by getting a free play when somone like Bennett jumps offsides. Bennett had 12 accepted penalties.
And although it's not fair to compare anyone with Walter Jones, but just to give us an idea of a player at the other end of the penalty spectrum, Big Walt had just 9 holding penalties in 12 seasons and was flagged for just 35 accepted penalties for his entire career. That's an average of less than 3 accepted penalties per season.

That being said, Pete develops a culture where players play on the edge and I think he is accepting of some penalties that will naturally follow, so the goal should be (like said above) to get it down toward the average. We may always be above the average, but more in line could help out a lot with a young OL.
