But they will for $; Seattle has cap space, so I think they have the ability to get a FA.

Who would ever want to go to Seattle and watch it rain for 9 months out of every year?
—————-

It rains more in most all of the big cities back east than it does in Seattle. Not that this has anything to do with player movement…

Any defensive plan that makes Gonzales the hot route is nuts, but Seattle had to put some amount of pressure on QB.

If Irving was making himself felt, 9/10 times Seattle would have left the coverage call as it should have been without the blitz.

This was A BIG DEAL.

Seattle defense which left teams 3rd and long on countless occasions but used 3 man rush with Jones as DT. Irvin and Clemons did their part but when there is absolutely no push up the middle QB just steps up and throws. I hope you noticed in that whole first half there was no separation with the WR. Last year was probably the best draft class in NFL but now we need to draft on offensive side whether its WR or pass catching TE even though McCoy had a few good games.

Not sure if SEA uses a 3-4 or a 4-3, he’d fit best in a 4-3 that uses a conventional DE rather then a DE/OLB hybrid.

If a 4-3, he could be a force for their already strong defense.

Alright brother you need to grow up.

Given the outstanding results in finding a replacement for Jackson, most fans are more than happy to wait another year to fix the pass rush. Last year’s 33 sack total was only improved upon by 3, which wasn’t enough to help the defense finish games in Detroit, Miami, and (sigh) Atlanta. Jones was a slight improvement, but probably won’t be back. Jury is still out on Irvin, and Clemons may not be back until after the start of next year. Pete is fully correct in saying the team needs “a couple of guys”.

Good news is, the window on this team is officially open. Seattle is $18 million under the cap, and has to be a pretty attractive destination for free agents looking for a legitimate chance to win a ring. Some fans were frustrated by the front office’s focus on youth throughout most of the rebuilding process, but that approach has payed off handsomely – the time is coming this Spring to look for players who can have more of an immediate impact.

An edge rusher to throw into the Irvin and Clemons rotation is also a major need. It’s the thinnest position on the defense.

The Seahawks have plenty of cap space to make one or two major moves in free agency, and ten draft picks (which Schneider has been pretty effective with), so there’s no reason not to get this fixed.
