Funny how the "It's pre-season"!! excuse works. If players are playing good, it's an indicator that is what we'll see in the regular season. But when the shoe is on the other foot, well… It's just pre-season.
We've been watching Pete Carroll's Seahawks for 13 years. When they look like dog doo in the pre-season for them it translates to the regular season. Same for when they play well in the pre-season that also translates to the regular season.
They looked all-world in 2012-2013 in the pre-season it translated. They looked like crap last year in the pre-season, it translated. Pete's teams are straight forward, they are not a riddle wrapped up in an enigma. They are not holding a bunch of secrets they're just waiting to unleash in the regular season. That's Sean McVay and Kyle Shanahan, NOT Pete Carroll.
The best you can hope for is the starting secondary which hasn't played yet, lifts the whole thing up, that's the best you can hope for.
But I'll bet my bottom dollar before mid-year, they will be a 4 man front, playing soft zone on the backend. Struggling to get off the field on 3rd down.
