The Seahawks weren’t able to re-sign their biggest offseason target. Surprisingly, the loss of Jadeveon Clowney has worked out pretty well.

Let me stop you right there, 12s. I know the Seahawks don’t exactly have the league’s best defense. In fact, they’re dead last in yards allowed. In large part that’s the result of a weak pass rush. And when you can’t re-sign your best defensive lineman, the pass rush is going to suffer.
