Considering the terrible run of injuries the Seahawks endured toward the end of the season, our boys in navy and gray did the 12s proud. Doubters, please point out all the other teams that made the playoffs with their fourth-string running back and tight end, second-string center and left guard, plus the usual assorted playing-through-the-pain injuries. So I’m proud of how the Hawks performed. However, there is no doubt that the defense in particular needs to get faster.
Even with all the injuries on offense, Seattle still ranked ninth in the league in points scored. The defense told a completely different story.
