Pass rusher is something we have a lot less of at its position.

Yes and let's not forget Moore is looking good this season, next season he'll probably look better. I feel like Pete will go heavy on D this next off-season since we're pretty stable at O with some decent players and decent coaches to match. It would honestly surprise me if the Seahawks went more Offense than Defense in the off-season.

They'd be asking for a trade in under two seasons.
Said Schottenheimer: “I told him on Monday when I saw him ... I thought he looked really good in that game. It was an option route on third down that he ran and he caught it. He put his right foot into the ground and just shot up the field and I was like 'wow.' So I think he’s feeling better now. I’m not worried about Doug. Doug is going to be fine. I think he’s starting to feel good and that’s good for us."

We need Green to step up big by the end of the season. Need to draft a big time pass rusher and let Clark go. Maybe two. Griffith has been in a sophomore slump, what happen to him. Might have to get another DB too.

Just curious, why would you want to let Clark go if the goal is improving the pass rush? Would drafting a pass rusher while letting Clark leave not be a step back at worst and a push at best?

Yes if you have a deep D-line rotation where Bennett only has to play 40-50% of the snaps he can be effective.
That's not here, for two straight years his effectiveness greatly diminished as the season wore on, and he wore out playing 80-90% of the snaps.
Nothing's changed, he'd still be overused.....and for the cost and his nonsense it was time to move on and try to build the next young defense.

Lets be real the real reason is not because of football reason why most of you didn't want him back.

seabowl wrote:I really hope this offseason that the team goes out and gets a WR that can consistently get separation. It seems Russ holds the ball too long at times but if you see what he sees many times there is just nobody open. I'm aware in the past that we have not been successful in free agency with WR's but it's clear we do not have a number 1 on the team. If we obtain a true number one, just think what this will not only do for Russ and the passing game but also the rushing attack.

I would love to keep him but not 18mill+ Pete is pretty great with defense, im sure he can get a bargain on some veterans.

If he could "get a bargain on some veterans", why hasn't it already happened for THIS season?
I believe that because Teams all around the League are likely hanging onto the ones that are worth a shit.

So far, Marshall was old and dropped balls, Baldwin is hurt, Lockette is good but not elite, Moore was a surprise but still green I am unsure of his ceiling. None of our TEs are great threat, Will surprised some but once DC game planned for him, he wasn't as effective and of course he is out of the season.
We need ONE wr that demands double teaming, that plus our power run would be very hard to defend. Make that one big body WR.
Contrary to some said big time WR won't like our system, I think he would. He might lack yardage and catches since we run a lot, but Wilson throw lots of TD passes and long bombs. both are good for highlights and stats.
Go Hawks.
