RENTON, Wash. -- The Seattle Seahawks underwent their most significant defensive transition of the Pete Carroll era this offseason. They revamped their coaching staff, installed a refreshed scheme and made several big additions via free agency, the trade market and the draft.
New defense. All-too-familiar problem.
The Seahawks are once again off to a miserable start on that side of the ball. It hasn't been as prolonged as their struggles out of the gates the past two seasons, which lasted beyond September before they turned things around. Nor has it been quite as pronounced as it was when their 2020 and ’21 defenses were yielding yards at historic rates early on.
