On Wednesday, new Clint Hurtt had his first press conference since being promoted to the Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator spot. Hurtt was the favorite to take over for Ken Norton Jr following the latter’s departure from the coaching staff, and sure enough he’s the fifth DC in the Pete Carroll era.
What can we expect from the Hurtt defense? Well based on what he answered, we’ll see more 3-4 fronts akin to Vic Fangio’s scheme, as well as a push for more aggression that includes but isn’t limited to an increase in blitzing.
“The 3-4 system is something that I’ve really embraced, obviously Vic Fangio being a big influence on that,” Hurtt said.
