Seattle Seahawks: Building Your 2022 NFC West Champions

We can’t have everything
As difficult as it may be to accept, the Seattle Seahawks basically have the same offensive line (depending on how quickly our third-round pick develops) as we did in 2021. Continuity isn’t a bad thing, though, and the line was solid in 2021. Losing Metcalf changes the offense but also diversifies it.
C. Wilson can be used on different routes at different levels, making the offense less predictable. Freddie Swain is good at finding open zones on the field and has a good connection with RW3. Last season’s second-round pick, Dee Eskridge, was injured most of 2021. When he did play, Eskridge showed speed and flashes of potential. This year we’ll find out what we have in him.
The 2022 Seahawks are built like a throwback to Seattle’s previous Super Bowl teams with a rebuilt defense and a back-to-basics offense. It’s on Russ to keep the chains moving and give the defense an occasional rest. If he does, there’s no reason the Hawks can’t bounce back and compete for a division title again at the very least.
These results should be enough to appease both Russ and the fans. Not to mention keeping the Hawks competitive in the NFC West. I think we can all agree that Mr. Schneider made the right call in handing me the reins. Your welcome, Seattle.
