The rest of the league must respect and fear our offense, we have a probowl QB, a pair of estimated WRs, a new best in the draft slot WR, a 2nd rated RB from the draft to complement K9, and added depth in OL. We have one of the best ensemble of skill players, and plenty of continuity under the same system.

The Oline might be strong this year. Damien Lewis was the highest graded lineman last year. And Haynes actually got better with each game. But Bradford is a beast and might just be better. But if the line takes a big jump. This team will be nasty on the offensive side.

What good is a fearful offense if your defense is always on the field ?
I don't see the defense being on the field nearly as much. They unloaded some of the problems and added players that fit. Just having Wagner back plus no Barton would help the run D, factor in some of the new studs and it looks like they will do a complete 180.

corner of 30th & plum
Yes, we'll be better on both sides of the ball, but is it enough to take us all the way ? Will the injury bug bite us ?

The feared team, only time will tell.

I think you are so right! The one thing that I think the fan base is going to have problems with is that it's going to take some time for this team to gel. I don't expect coming out of the gates burning rubber.

The real problem is the defense giving up so many yards and points. If its a shootout, I dont like Genos chances in those kind of scenarios. Last season they had a top 10 offense and still were only one game above .500.

Wagner back is great for morale and he's better than what we had, but there will be times when he shows his age and a lot of people will see the end is near. I worry about his speed at this point.

Our offense is full of veterans, the geling may be quicker than one thinks. Think about it, Geno, the WR1 and WR2, RB1, 3 TEs, all veterans. On OL, at least 3 out of five, of not 4 would be veterans.

I’m just not sure why people are not
More excited or interested in this kid. Watch his tape and read a little. He has serious potential!
He's got 2 Qb's at least in front..Hope we don't see him debut for a while.

Guilty. Didn’t pay too much attention to him.

From the way too small sample size I JUST watched via YouTube:

Decent size. A little hesitant and telegraphs a bit.

But, once he makes his decision, I like his release!

I wouldn’t mind having a Brock Purdy like story on the Hawks 😊

That’s great, but where is our nose tackle?
That is the biggest need.

Also, as some others have mentioned, just winning a few more 3rd down plays with the additions of guys like JSN, Charbonnet, and McIntosh should help keep the defence off the field a little longer.

Cameron Young + UDFA or FA vet on minimum contract to start the season.

Mone will (hopefully) be coming back early to mid season.

I know. But should Seahawks have done more in free agency and/or draft to address this situation?
