Remember before the season how many national pundits thought the Seahawks organization was in demise? Seattle might win between four and six games in 2018 was a common prediction. And while coach Pete Carroll did bring in new offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer and new defensive coordinator Ken Norton, Jr., the moves mostly worked.
Seattle also had a lot of new players at positions that were once held by Pro Bowl players. Shaquill Griffin wasn’t a new starter at cornerback but he was moving to Richard Sherman‘s old place at left corner. On the opposite side, rookie Tre Flowers had to start nearly every game.
