Like a lot of 12's, my faith took a blow this offseason. I started to believe the national narrative. How can the Seahawks recover from losing so much All Pro/Pro Bowl talent on defense? The offensive line stunk last year and little has been done to remedy it. A lot of coaches fired, and new faces with their new philosophies take their place. Earl's contract situation. Kam has likely played his last game in the NFL.
I could go on.
But something switched for me when I watched our draft. I didn't just hope it was a good one, I FELT it. Had the mediots given us a high draft grade I would have been genuinely disappointed. No, I want everyone to pull a Mel Kiper. I want these dolts to eat their words in a year or three.
Nobody has given this franchise as much success as we have enjoyed these past several years like Pete Carroll and John Schneider. So to think just because we are rebooting aka reloading aka rebuilding (hate to break it to ya but the label doesn't matter) that these two men don't have what it takes to do it again is foolish on anyone's part.
Rest easy twelves. In this era, a down year means 9-7. We have a lot of young, hungry and talented players itching to prove the world wrong come September.
Buckle up. While it may not be a magical season, there's every reason to believe it very well could be.
BELIEVE IT.
