The Seahawks need to rediscover the blitz

By my count, the Seattle Seahawks blitzed eight times against the Arizona Cardinals. That does not include the two times they sent an additional pass rusher from the second level but dropped a lineman into coverage. Those pressure packages were particularly ineffective resulting in a 13 yard reception and a 21 yard reception. Of course they did. Why do teams drop defensive linemen into coverage—especially defensive tackles?

On one of the blitzes, Wright aborted his pass rush and turned into a spy. That resulted in an incomplete pass which was nearly picked off by Quandre Diggs.
