Other than Darrell Taylor, the Seahawks pass rush has been Terrible

If he makes a solid second half push, he has a chance to eclipse ten this year, and is looking like he may be the pass rusher that we all imagined when the team traded up to select him in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft. But as good as Darrell Taylor has looked at times, he is the only defensive linemen for the Seahawks who has been able to display any consistency in getting after the quarterback. As a unit, the team currently sits ahead of only the Atlanta Falcons and Kansas City Chiefs, who have 11 and 12 sacks, respectively. Seattle is tied with the Detroit Lions with 14 sacks on the season.
