Seahawks position overview: Hawks’ pass rush remains ‘work in progress’
Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald several times in 2024 called the team’s pass rush “a work in progress.’’
He also often noted how judging the pass rush is about far more than just examining the play of the edge rushers.
An effective pass rush, Macdonald said often, is about “marrying the rush and coverage together.’’
But there were times the Seahawks definitely wanted more out of their pass rush, such as getting just 10 sacks during the six-game stretch at midseason when Seattle went 1-5 to fall from 3-0 to 4-5.
The Seahawks also ranked 16th in ESPN’s pass rush win rate, right in the middle.
If they want, the Seahawks can return all of the key pieces of their pass rush corps in 2025.
