"Pass rushing is very difficult in this league," he said. "People just think you can line up out there and the team go get 50 sacks a season. I was in Carolina and we worked our asses off last year to get 54 sacks; it's a grind. With this group, it's a young group. Benson, he produced last year, but I don't think Benson has ever been in a major starting role as a premier rusher, but I have complete 100 percent faith he can do that. We've got a young group, and we've got to work. [urltargetblank]https://www.seahawks.com/news/bruce-irvin-couldn-t-ask-for-a-better-situation-than-return-to-seahawks[/urltargetblank]

I'm looking for the development of a competitive rotation and emergence of player combinations and seynergies. It's what makes a season so interesting.

Count me in as being very pleased that we got Irvin back. I believe the guy can still be what we all liked about him, and more. I also think lots are undervalueing Mayowa's ability, so the pair is IMO a shrewd move by the FO...just like procuring Clowney was. So now lets get Clowney back in the mix and watch them wreak havoc with our much improved rush defense.

IMHO I just don't think they are going to get Clowney back. I believe they will go after Griffen instead.

I'm afraid you're right pard. I'll agree Griff and our other parts look to me like a significant improvement over where we were last year. But I would feel even better if Clowney was on board with us. I believe seeing what he did by himself last year was just a token of what he could do with help from other threats.
But there's the $ thing...
