If the Seahawks defense is ever going to get back to dominant form they’ll need to add some more pass-rushing firepower to their defensive line. They may also need to try things they haven’t before on the coaching side, as well.
On that second note there’s some news to report. According to Bob Condotta at the Seattle Times, the team is expected to hire Michigan State assistant Brandon Jordan to fill a new role on Pete Carroll’s staff: pass rush specialist.

Jordan has previously worked with some Seahawks players as a private coach, but he’ll have his work cut out for him leading the group.
Last season Seattle had decent sack numbers as a team but they also ranked near the bottom in most advanced pass rush metrics. They placed No. 28 in ESPN’s pass rush win rate and also No. 28 in the team pass rush grades from Pro Football Focus.
