The Seattle Seahawks have played seven games.
K.J. Wright has missed six games; Earl Thomas has missed three games; Bobby Wagner has missed one game; Tre Flowers has missed one game; Mychal Kendricks has been suspended for the last four games; Dion Jordan has missed two games; there’s a new defensive coordinator; the 2018 draft class has only yielded one productive player on defense so far; and yet Pete Carroll once again has this unit as one of the best in the NFL.
On Tuesday, FootballOutsiders’ DVOA rankings for games through Week 7 has the Seahawks ranked second on defense, including third against the pass and sixth against the run.
