Danny needs to be uber careful with Seattle's corners.-- My faith in C Bryant in the draft process where I had him ranked higher than anyone else has really been shown to be correct-- He was a nice value (4th) draft pick.
Seahawks Rookie Coby Bryant ‘Just Getting Warmed Up,’ Says Coach Pete Carroll
Seattle Seahawks rookie cornerback Coby Bryant is already a scary sight for offenses, and he's just getting started.--
“We are just getting warmed up here,” Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. “He was raw from the start. We’re seven weeks old and he’s extensively better than he was from when we were starting this thing up. He’s taking advantage of it.”
Bryant was drafted in the fourth round out of Cincinnati with the expectation that he'd be a solid contributor as the season progressed.
Instead, he's turned into a budding star in a matter of weeks. Bryant leads all NFL players with four forced fumbles, showing a true knack to be an aggressive defender once he sees an opportunity open up.
He didn't force a fumble in Sunday's 37-23 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, which ended a three-game streak of him doing so. But Bryant was still a major part of a second straight out-of-nowhere performance from a Seattle defense that has seen a sudden awakening the past two weeks after struggling early.
"It didn’t even phase him," Carroll said of Bryant's workload on defense. "It wasn’t like he was overloaded or nothing, but gosh he is getting better ... He’s just going to keep on getting better and he’ll see more opportunities to make more plays."
Bryant could be in the running for Defensive Rookie of the Year if not for his teammate in the secondary Tariq Woolen, who is tied for a league-leading four interceptions this season. Unprecedented stuff is happening for Seattle's rookie class this season and Bryant is at the center of it all.
