Seattle Seahawks: MVPositions
Outlook
Both the pass rush and cornerback group are bringing in proven veterans to lead these units. They are expecting or hoping that some of the others in the group can step up. This will either end up being a great strategy or doom the team. The success of the pass rush and cornerbacks play are hand in hand. It’s up for debate which is more important to a team’s defense.
An elite pass rush that can get to the quarterback in two seconds or less means the corners can be more aggressive and don’t have to cover as long. On the other hand, an elite corner, who can cover a wide receiver three seconds or more, means the pass rush has more time to get to the quarterback.
How these two units perform this year will be the second biggest determining factor in the success of the 2021 Seattle Seahawks. Russell Wilson is obviously the biggest determining factor. The Seahawks’ week one opponent, Indianapolis, should give a decent test. At least to the pass-rushing group. Don’t get too over-excited if these two units have a good week 1. They may be going against NFL backups at left tackle and quarterback. Sorry to all you Jacob Eason fans out there.
