Re: Elite pass rusher is still needed
By Solid I mean average. I'd strongly disagree they had James Hurst talent at 3/5 of the positions. They have dropped off significantly recently which gives people a recency bias towards their oline in general. Lynch was a monster in Seattle, but to say he did it entirely on his own with a below average line would be a huge stretch, and Lynch is probably my favorite player in the NFL

Re: Elite pass rusher is still needed
"
After averaging over 161 yards per game on the ground in 2012, the Seahawks averaged fewer than 137 per game in 2013. Wilson — constantly harassed throughout the season — was sacked 44 times, tied for third-worst in the NFL despite his sometimes uncanny ability to escape pressure."

Re: Elite pass rusher is still needed
Ok but Lynch rushing yards per season
2011 - 1204
2012- 1509
2013 - 1257
2014 - 1306
2015 - 417
Im not saying they were a great line. Im saying that they were average - solid. When there entire team was built around running and playing defense, they did what they were supposed to doBurn it down

Re: Elite pass rusher is still needed
I cant argue with that. I will add that
2012 they were 9th in PPG ( we were 10th
2013 they were 9th in PPG (we were 25th)
2014 they were 10th in ppg ( We were 8th)
2015 they were 5th in ppg (We were 25th)
They've sustained basically a top 10 offense every year, while we fell into the dumps, picked up Kubiak, then went back in the dumps again.
While we all want an elite defense, even Seattle knows you have to field an offense unlike the ravens who think they can win with the #1 defense and 32 offenseBurn it down

Re: Elite pass rusher is still needed
The offense is basically an old beat up Pinto and here we are advocating we need to add a new engine to our perfectly fine Lambo that's driven to and from the grocery store by Grandma.
