The Seattle Seahawks are 2-1, which puts them in a better position after three games than they’ve been in plenty of other seasons under Pete Carroll. They’ve done so by way of Russell Wilson’s career-best start, improved run defense, and squeaking by the competition by a mere point or two in their first two wins.
What they haven’t won games with so far are the two phases of the game that they seemed to focus their entire 2018 and 2019 offseason on — improved rushing offense and replenishing the pass rushers — plus Carroll’s best-known coaching asset: how to make DBs in a lab.
