The Seattle Seahawks are not getting a lot of love this preseason. Many national pundits see the team as being worse than it was last year when Seattle won 10 games. The reason for this is because of the big names that left this past offseason.
As much as pundits want to sell that they know the NFL extremely well, many will also follow the trail of the better-known players. Quarterback Geno Smith and wide receiver DK Metcalf are gone, so the Seahawks have to be worse, right? Not so fast.
General manager John Schneider and head coach Mike Macdonald want to build a team that resembles that of the Seattle teams in the mid-2010s.
