Seahawks cornerback Devon Witherspoon had a tremendous game against the Patriots in Super Bowl LX, and he says he knew he and his teammates were going to have a big game as they watched tape over the last two weeks.
Witherspoon says coach Mike Macdonald put together a great game plan that had them prepared perfectly for what the Patriots tried to do.
“I knew what was going on,” Witherspoon told SiriusXM NFL Radio. “We had a good tell on what they like to do and how they like to play and how they were going to attack us. Coach put us in the best position to win. That’s our coach right there, that’s why we always stand beside him and always have his back.”
Witherspoon says tape study revealed that the Patriots’ offensive linemen often show what they’re going to do by how they line up.
“We had a tell on their guards and their tackles, how they like to set, they’re going to overset on certain rushes, they’re going to fall for certain moves any time a group of guys get after them, and today I think we did that,” Witherspoon said.
Even as he celebrated on the field after winning the Super Bowl, Witherspoon said the Seahawks will hold each other accountable for the two fourth-quarter touchdowns they gave up. This Seahawks defense has the highest of standards, and that showed on Super Bowl Sunday.
