I don't know about that. Last season, Seahawks defense was ranked #1 in fewest rushing yards allowed per carry, #2 in overall rush defense DVOA, and #1 in unadjusted rush defense efficiency.
Rubin & Reed are solid run-first defenders. Bennett, Avril, Jefferson, & Clark are also very good against the run. Nazair Jones is another run stopping DT prospect in the same mold as Rubin.
McDowell is being counted on more to fill the void in rushing the passer. Other than moving Bennett & Clark inside, we don't have a ton of interior pass rush options.
