over the season in the traditional defensive end
and defensive tackle positions.
They have made changes with only Myles Adams
and Bryan Mone listed as defensive tackles returning.
Ponna Ford and AL Woods were released or did not
resign with the Seahawks. The three defensive ends
were not brought back either.
Cameron Young was the only defensive lineman
drafted this year in the 4th round out of Mississippi
State. He is expected to get a lot of playing time.
Dre'Mont Jones was the Seahaw6 biggest acquisition
in the free agent market. He played with the Denver
Broncos. He is listed as a defensive end however
the Seahawks will use inside as well.
Jarring Reed a defensive end resigned with the
Seahawks who he previously played for. The Seahawks
have three other players looking for playing time
outside of Reed and Jones to get playing time or
making the roster. As noted before edge rushers and
and defensive ends can be interchanged. Most edge
rushers can be listed as outside linebackers. Again
it depends when they are playing for the pass or running
game. Example the Seahawks are considered a running
team so most defensive teams will them against the run
on first and second primarily. A passing team play the run
on first down and pass on second and third unless short yardage
depending how the offense usually goes.
Jonah Tavai undrafted free agent from San Diego is listed as
as the only nose tackle however may see Cameron Young starting.
A lot depends what scheme they are playing in. The question will
the defensive line be better than last year. They have a young
group that looks possibly more talented but we will see. In the
whole the defense all across could be better. Making the playoffs
and making a big splash will decide the issue. Go Hawks!
