This off-season does have a 2012 feel to it. Lowest expectations since that time, to be sure, coming off the only other season in the Carroll era in which the Seahawks missed the playoffs.
Strengths: New common-sense play caller, who promises to resuscitate the run game and play to team strengths, Russell Wilson is a Top 5 QB, best offensive line personnel since 2014, new OL Coach devoted to teaching fundamentals, several promising running backs and fullbacks, Doug Baldwin and lots of WR speed, a solid looking starting defense, Bobby Wagner & Earl Thomas are two of the best in the game, Ken Norton is back to light a fire under everyone, low expectations lead to “chip on shoulder” underdog mentality of the bygone days, more physical play on both sides of the balll, every victory is precious.
Weaknesses: Uncertainiry due to off-season changes, Rams & Niners cause headaches, loss of Jimmy Graham and lack of big WR manifest red zone scoring issues, injuries expose depth concerns at WR, LB and DB, offensive line fails to improve as much as expected with lack of athleticism at guard spots and Germain Ifedi shoehorned at RT, injuries and inconsistency at RB continue.
