RENTON, Wash. (AP) — There might not be many, if any, big names on the defensive front for the Seattle Seahawks.
But one look at the stat sheet from Seattle’s season-opening win over Indianapolis shows the impact the Seahawks were hoping to see from their assembled rotation of linemen.
“We really feel like that’s the strength of our unit,” defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr. said. “We have so many good players at that position that it’s important for us to really have a good rotation and keep everybody fresh and playing at a high level.”
When the Seahawks were struggling defensively through the first half of last season, it was in part due to the shortcomings of the defensive line, specifically problems getting to the quarterback.
