Offensive coordinator: Brian Schottenheimer
Positives
Few teams can rebuild as quickly as the Seattle Seahawks have in the last two years. They revamped the defense on the fly last offseason, and they turned their attention to the offense this year. With Doug Baldwin's future suddenly uncertain, the Seahawks spent a second-round pick on explosive Ole Miss receiver D.K. Metcalf to pair with budding young wideouts Tyler Lockett and David Moore.
The offensive line was better in 2018 as well after line coach Tom Cable departed. Offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer incorporated tight ends more often than former coordinator Darrell Bevell did, too. That must continue in 2019.
Negatives
Schottenheimer can get too reliant on the running game considering he has an elite quarterback in Russell Wilson. Few players in the league are as explosive as Wilson is with his arm and legs, and he needs to be unleashed earlier and more often than he has been at times. There's a fine line of balance, but the Seahawks are at their best with Wilson controlling the ball more.
There'll be more pressure on the young tight ends and backs if Baldwin retires. It'd be quite the leap for Will Dissly or Nick Vannett to become a primary target.
