Who are the Seattle Seahawks most important departed characters?
The Seahawks success has been built on the back of their almost supernaturally good defense. So you’d think it would be a big problem for them to have lost their defensive coordinator, Dan Quinn, to a head coaching job in Atlanta. The thing is, Seattle’s defense has been great because it has amazing players, not because its scheme is complex or surprising. The Seahawks should be fine.
Who are the Seattle Seahawks most important new characters?
Tight end Jimmy Graham comes over from the New Orleans Saints where he blossomed into one of the biggest receiving weapons in the league. Last year was a down year for him but it’s easy to chalk that up to his having had a divisive battle with the Saints over his compensation. What we don’t know is how well he’ll fit in Seattle and what role they will ask him to play. Graham is basically a very large wide receiver but Seattle may need him to be closer to a hybrid receiver/offensive lineman than he’s used to being.
Who are the Seattle Seahawks most important characters?
There’s nothing like a good crisis to upend the giant pot of discontented squabbling that’s been simmering under control. That’s what happened when the Seahawks missed their chance at a second straight Super Bowl title this past spring. The three biggest characters on the team, running back Marshawn Lynch, coach Pete Carroll, and quarterback Russell Wilson all blamed themselves and each other with varying degrees of bitterness.
What is the most pivotal pivot point for the 2015 Seattle Seahawks?
This season’s plot is all about how the team reacts to the giant, incomprehensible mistake they made at the end of the Super Bowl last year. All it would take is a couple bad games in September to start the snipes sniping and the ball rolling towards a lost season.
How will the 2015 Seattle Seahawks fare?
With all the other teams in the division going backwards, the Seahawks will still be able to win the division, albeit with a worse record than last year.
