The Seattle Seahawks were expected to have a stout defense in 2025. The plan this past offseason was to rebuild the offense, bring nearly everybody back from the 2024 defense, and win a lot of games when head coach Mike Macdonald's scheme dominated.
That has mostly been what has happened. The offense has been better than expected, and the defense has been expectedly good. One reason is that the team has gotten a breakout performance from supersub Ty Okada.
Entering this season, the 2023 unsigned free agent out of Montana State had only logged 33 snaps. The safety was unremarkable in those reps, and had whiffed on two of his five tackle attempts.
