No. 1 Dud – Pass rush
You guessed it, the Seahawks pass rush is still highly suspect. In fairness, Matt Ryan, Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley are a lethal trio for any defense, but it doesn’t help when the front seven isn’t able to generate any semblance of consistent pressure.
Benson Mayowa – a free agent signing this offseason – and Jamal Adams, did record a sack each, but they were the only sacks of the afternoon. It is also concerning if your safety is producing half the games’ sack total.
There is considerable work to be done, as the pass rush will continue to be Seattle’s biggest liability.
