Friday marks twenty months since the Seattle Seahawks traveled to the Upper Midwest to take on the Green Bay Packers in the 2017 season opener, and in the time since then so much has changed. That was the first game the Seahawks defense had played without holding the title of reigning NFL scoring defense since 2012, and it was a collection of Pro Bowl and All Pro caliber players together over several seasons that is extremely difficult to achieve in the salary cap era.
With the Hawks reportedly set to add some in the pass rush department Thursday with the signing of Ziggy Ansah as a replacement for Frank Clark, it represents another step towards the complete overhaul of the team’s defense.
