‘12 Seahawks: A different point of viewBy ADAM McFADDEN

amcfadden@rentonreporter.com

In a time when prolific passing offenses rule the NFL, Seattle is doing something different: Building around defense. And the progress is hard to ignore. Yes, the Seahawks finished at 7-9 for the second straight year. And yes, they missed the play-offs. But things are far from dire. Improve-ment was apparent across the board, and it was especially easy to see in the team’s young secondary, where Earl Thomas, Kam Chancellor and Brandon Browner all made the Pro Bowl.

“The expectations are high for those guys to really be a factor again,” head coach Pete Carroll said in a press conference during a June practice. “There’s nothing that these guys can’t do. They’ve worked really hard and they’ve taken a lot of pride.”

The group improved as the season went on and developed a definite swagger that sunk in as the team’s identity.

“It’s the personalities,” Chancellor said. “We’ve got a lot of guys who are confident.

You get that confidence and then you get that swagger about you.”

In 2010, the Seahawks ranked 27th (out of 32) in total yards allowed, 27th in passing yards allowed, and 21st in rushing yards allowed per game.

Last season, the team jumped all the way to ninth in total yards allowed, 11th in passing yards allowed, and 15th in rushing yards allowed per game.

By other measures, the defense was even better. Advanced NFL Stats (advancedn-flstats.com) has a statistic called Expected Points Added (EPA). It measures the value of every play in points added or taken away from a team, as opposed to a traditional stat, like yards.

In this regard Seattle ranked fourth in the league in defensive EPA last season with -33.7. For context, San Francisco was first, at -60.3. Eight teams had negative defensive EPA values.

Split even further, Seattle’s run EPA of -18.6 was seventh in the NFL, while its pass EPA of -15.1 was fifth. So while the Seahawks ranked 11th in passing yards allowed per game, the yards they allowed were not as damaging to the game out-comes as they sound.

Contrast this to a team like Kansas City. The Chiefs allowed just 201.3 passing yards per game last year, which ranked sixth, and is almost 19 yards more than Seattle. Despite that, the Chiefs ranked 23rd in pass EPA at 65.4.

EPA also shows a stark improvement for Seattle from 2010 to 2011. The team’s over-all defensive EPA was 26th in the league in 2010, at 76. The Seahawks really struggled against the pass in 2010, ranking 27th in pass EPA, at 60.9.

Thanks almost entirely to the improved defense, Seattle had a positive point

differential (plus 6) in 2011 for the first time since 2007. And it wasn’t a gradual improvement. The Seahawks’ recent point differentials of minus 97 in 2010 and minus 110 in 2009 left much to be desired.

So what happened to make the defense turn around so quickly? It was a combina-tion of many things. Coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider had another year to bring in even more talent and get players used to playing in the system.

But it’s also hard to discount the team’s confidence and mindset on the defensive side of the ball.

“We’re going to grind every game,” Chancellor said. “We’re flying around the field trying to let them not catch anything on us.”

Making things better is the fact that the secondary should only improve. Chancel-lor and cornerback Richard Sherman are 24. Safety Earl Thomas is only 23. Corner-back Brandon Browner is the group’s elder statesman at 27 (he will turn 28 in early

August).“There’s a lot of energy back

there and a lot of big guys who make plays and fast guys who make plays, so hopefully that’ll be a big factor for our football team,” Carroll said.

Changes are mostly minor elsewhere on defense. The team signed versatile defensive lineman Jason Jones after he tallied 16

sacks in four years with the Titans. Of course first-round pick Bruce Irvin should be a terror as a pass rusher if Schneider and Carroll are right about him.

Carroll said the additions of Jones and Irvin, and subsequent overall improvement of the pass rush, should put less stress on the secondary, helping them get even better.

With David Hawthorne gone, middle linebacker will come down

to free agent add Barrett Ruud or second-round pick Bobby Wagner.

The defense will be put to the test early and often in 2012. In the season’s first eight weeks, the Seahawks face four of the top seven offenses from last year, ac-cording to offensive EPA. Green Bay (second, 257.6), New England (third, 224.5), Detroit (fifth, 125) and Dallas (seventh, 94.7) will be stiff tests for the young defense.

Few teams struggled with the lockout like the Sea-hawks did last summer.

In the midst of a heavy rebuild that saw new players brought in by the dozens, head coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Sch-neider were left to hurriedly put the pieces together without the normal safety net of a full offseason.

“It was such a mess try-ing to put this whole thing together,” Carroll said in a press conference during a June practice. “For a coach you just felt like you were getting cheated from an opportunity to present a really good product. But it was relative and we’re not

complaining about it.”Even with the extra

challenge, the Seahawks still made progress in 2011. The team’s point differential was positive for the first time since 2007. And with differentials of negative 97 or worse all three previous years, a positive differential is a big sign of improve-ment.

Seattle faces a tough opening half of the season, with Dallas, Green Bay, New England, San Francisco and Detroit on the docket, so immediate improvement might be hard to see. Still, look for this team to take another step forward in 2012.

San Francisco commanded the early game, leading 16-0 at the half. Seattle crawled back into it later to trail by just two, 17-19, but the 49ers pulled away again.

Pittsburgh’s defense smothered Seattle and the Seahawks could only muster 164 total yards.

Neither team was never ahead by more than seven points in this tight game. Arizona outgained Seattle 324-261, but two turnovers sunk the Cardinals.

Atlanta looked to be cruising, up 27-7 in the third quarter. But Seattle closed the gap late, outscoring the Falcons 21-6 in the second half.

In a wild game that featured eight turnovers, a safety and a 94-yard interception return for a touchdown by Brandon Browner helped Seattle come out on top.

Seattle mustered just 137 total yards of offense as both teams struggled mightily to get into a rhythm.

Cincinnati controlled the pace the entire way, then put Seattle away with a 17 straight points in the fourth quarter.

Three turnovers stung the Seahawks and Seattle didn’t score a touchdown until the fourth, when Marshawn Lynch plunged in from four yards out.

Seattle never led in this game, but still forced overtime when Ricardo Lockette scored on a 61-yard pass from Tarvaris Jackson in the fourth.

San Francisco took the final lead on a 39-yard field goal from David Akers in the fourth in the tightly contested game.

Chicago led at the half, but Seattle outscored the Bears 31-0 in the second half. Chicago turned the ball over five times.

St. Louis trailed early, then pulled to within seven points at 6-13 in the third quarter. The Seahawks cruised from that point and built a 17-point lead.

Seattle dominated, thanks to four Eagle turnovers. The Seahawks never trailed in the game.

The Seahawks led most of the way, but the Redskins scored 16 straight points in the fourth quarter to steal the win.

The Rams scored first, but Seattle dominated after the early touchdown, rattling off 24 straight points.

Seattle surprised Baltimore with a 10-0 lead early and never relented. The Ravens couldn’t overcome three turnovers.

Ready for a QB battle?who will Start at quarterback?

By ADAM McFADDEN

amcfadden@rentonreporter.com

Tarvaris Jackson returns after starting 15 games for Seattle last season. One of the top quarterbacks available in the offseason, Matt Flynn, comes in after signing a three-year deal. Toss in third-round pick Russell Wilson out of Wisconsin, and the team has plenty of options at quarterback. But is that a good thing?

Jackson, Flynn and Wilson all saw first-team reps dur-ing the Seahawks' June minicamp, and head coach Pete Carroll steadfastly maintained the team was having an open competition between the three.

The problem is that while all three have positives, they also come with big questions. Here's a breakdown of the three options:

Tarvaris JacksonPlus: Despite a second-straight 7-9 record in 2011,

the Seahawks clearly improved, and Jackson was at the helm for that improvement. He is very familiar with the team's offense and might be the safest option.

Minus: Jackson may also be the option with the most limited upside. Jackson's WPA (Win Probability Added) of -0.88 ranked 35th out of 39 qualifying quarterbacks last season. Only Mark Sanchez (-1.54) and Blaine Gabbert (-2.21) started at least 15 games and had worse WPA totals. After six seasons and 51 games, many won-der if Jackson can really get much better.

Summary: Defenses teed off on Jackson last year, sacking him 41 times (second most in the NFL). How could he perform with better pass protection?

career stats:completions - 625Attempts - 1,053yards - 7,075yards/attempt - 6.7Touchdowns - 38Interceptions - 35

Matt FlynnPlus: Flynn performed astoundingly well in his one

start in 2011, completing 31 of 44 passes for 480 yards and six touchdowns, with just one interception. He also flashed brilliant potential in his previous start in Week 15 of 2010 (24-37, 251 yards, three touchdowns).

Minus: Flynn has only started two games, making any sort of a projection a huge risk. His arm doesn't wow scouts; he was a seventh-round pick in 2008.

Summary: Even without massive arm strength, Flynn has done everything that could be hoped for in his two starts. While the small sample size makes him a risk, he seems to have the biggest immediate upside of all three options.

career stats:completions - 82Attempts - 132yards - 1,015yards/attempt - 7.7Touchdowns - 9Interceptions - 5

Russell WilsonPlus: Wilson's leadership qualities and intangibles

are reportedly off the charts. Despite transferring in to Wisconsin as a senior, he quickly took over and became a captain of the team. Wilson excelled in college, posting impressively efficient numbers as a senior (33 touch-downs, four interceptions, 72.8 completion percentage).

Minus: At just under five-foot-11, Wilson's height sent up a red flag for most NFL teams.

Summary: A high-release point and strong arm might render Wilson's small stature moot. Wilson's height caused him to slip all the way to the third round, but he certainly has a mountain of upside. Of the three options, he likely has the biggest variance.

career stats (college):completions - 907Attempts - 1,489yards - 11,720yards/attempt - 7.9Touchdowns - 109Interceptions - 30

After missing a mandatory minicamp in June, defensive end Chris Clemens will be back with the Seahawks after agreeing to a multi-year deal with the team Monday.

Seattle acquired Clemens in a trade from Philadelphia and he has led the Seahawks with 11 sacks in each of his

two seasons with the team.Clemens, 31, played for the Redskins,

Raiders and Eagles before coming to Seattle. He has set career highs in sacks and tackles for the team, largely because he's a great fit for the "Leo" position in head coach Pete Carroll's defensive scheme.
