Job one for Seahawks’ offensive line this week — adjust to NFL’s renewed emphasis on cutting down holding

One obvious question for the Seahawks heading into Sunday night’s game against the Chiefs — can they cut down on the offensive holding penalties that were so vexing in last week’s loss to the 49ers?

One increasingly emerging complication —- the NFL’s newfound desire to call offensive holding.

Seattle coach Pete Carroll talked openly Wednesday of something other coaches had begun hinting about over the last week or so — that the league told teams three weeks ago that it was going to emphasize proper blocking up front and look to cut down on holds.
