LONDON — One of Pete Carroll’s trademark sayings is that a team can never have enough pass rush.
But too often this season the Seahawks have been searching vainly for any pass rush at all.
Numbers both conventional and analytic bear that out.
Entering Sunday’s game against the Raiders the Seahawks are just 22nd in the NFL in sacks with 10 — five coming in the week three win against the Cowboys with Seattle getting two or fewer sacks in its other four games.
The analytic site Pro Football Focus paints an even dimmer picture, rating the Seahawks 30th in the NFL this week in its team pass-rushing grades, a metric by which it measures pressure created on a per-snap basis with weighting toward sacks.
