Marshawn Lynch’s retirement changes Seahawks’ offense, but not its philosophy

Some offseason moves suggest the Seahawks will do some different things, even if run-pass ratios are the same. Here are three changes that could have a big impact on the offense next season.

Running back Marshawn Lynch’s recent retirement made official a personality shift in the Seahawks’ offense that began to take effect in the second half of the 2015 season.

The face of the Seahawks’ offense, if not also its heart and soul, now is quarterback Russell Wilson.

That doesn’t mean, though, that the philosophy is changing, the Seahawks say.

“I think it’s very much the same,’’ Seahawks general manager John Schneider said last week during an interview with Pro Football Talk live when asked if the offense will look similar despite changes in personnel.
