Bobby Wagner impressed by strong debut for Seahawks rookie CB Tre Brown
The Seahawks had another frustrating loss on Sunday night, falling on the road 23-20 in overtime to the Steelers.
As painful as it was, there were plenty of positive takeaways from the loss. Seattle showed a lot of heart battling back from a 14-0 deficit at halftime, aided by a dynamic rushing attack even without RB1 Chris Carson to lead it. The team also made several promising adjustments on defense, most notably some legitimate playing time for rookie cornerback Tre Brown. It was Brown’s first NFL game after spending several weeks on injured reserve and he played extremely well for a first-timer.
After the game, middle linebacker Bobby Wagner said he was impressed, especially by Brown’s clutch tackle in overtime. Wagner says it will be fun to watch him play.

Brown also showed tenacity in coverage. This debut should be enough to earn him the starting left cornerback job from Sidney Jones.
