Let’s talk about a team that last year was brutal in the regular season but disappointed in the Playoffs, the Seattle Seahawks. You would normally think that with 12 total victories a team aspires to great things, but Russell Wilson’s team proved otherwise. His postseason was depressing; one and out, losing a divisional game against the Rams. For this 2021 the goal will be complicated: retain the title of the NFC West, which is probably the closest division in the league. We leave you everything you need to know about the Seahawks this NFL 2021 Season.
Seahawks last season
To better understand the present, you have to analyze the past. How did the previous season end for the Seahawks? With a 12-4 record, this team was champion of the NFC West, however, they did not know how to take advantage of the Playoffs and lost 30-20 to the Rams at Lumen Field. Check out the Seattle Seahawks 2020 Season Review here.
How they got to free agency:
Seattle entered Free Agency 2021 with the need to reinforce certain positions such as cornerback, tight end and its offensive line. However, with just under 5 MDD against cap space, they had very little room for maneuver. How did they solve it? Here’s the 2021 NFL Free Agency Preview – Seattle Seahawks.
Before and after the 2021 Draft
This team managed to solve certain needs via Free Agency, but for the 2021 NFL Draft they were in a very peculiar situation: they did not have a first-round pick, in fact, they only had three selections during the seven rounds. They used the first on D’Wayne Eskridge, the second on Tre Brown. Do you want to know the third? Check it out in the 2021 NFL Draft Review: NFC West, where we review Seattle’s picks and their divisional rivals.
The Seahawks’ stories to watch for this season
- How committed is Russell Wilson? This offseason was plagued by reports that Wilson was not entirely happy with Seattle and that sooner or later he will seek a change of scene. How will this affect your performance in 2021?
- Lack of balance on offense. Neither Chris Carson nor Rashaad Penny are running backs that you want to have as the central axis of the running attack, and having this lack of balance, a team becomes very predictable, which you cannot afford if you are in NFC West .
- Who is going to pressure the rival QB? In 2020 those led by Pete Carroll were among the best in pressure from QB, being seventh in sacks. Obviously, Jamal Adams, who just signed an extension, is the best pass rusher on the roster, but that your safety is the best in QB sacks speaks volumes. Also, Jarran Reed, who was the team’s second-best in sacks last year (6.5), went to the Chiefs.
- Is your dominant secondary defense just a memory? Seattle could still bring back Richard Sherman, who is currently a free agent but is in some legal trouble. However, at this point, his CBs are Akhello Witherspoon and Tre Flowers – who is a great cornerback – but the loss of Shaquill Griffin will be difficult to fill. Plus, Jamal Adams leaves a lot to be desired against the passing game.
- Will they survive a brutal start to the season? The start of the Seahawks’ schedule is one of the NFL’s toughest, which could define their 2021 season. They open against the Colts, host the Titans, visit the Vikings and 49ers, host the Rams and then go to play in Pittsburgh. Their first six weeks are very hard, and without a doubt, in that period we will see what this team is made of next season.
