Thursday Round-Up: Biggest Offseason Question For Each NFL Team

A daily link round-up of what's "out there" about your Seattle Seahawks.

!

Good afternoon, 12s.

Here's a look at what's "out there" for today - Thursday, Feb. 25 - about your Seattle Seahawks:

Does Seattle's O-Line Need Fixing?

As the offseason kicks into gear this week at the NFL Scouting Combine, Mike Sando at ESPN.com takes a look at the biggest question each team has to answer (Insider) between now and when the 2016 regular season starts in September. 

For the Seahawks, Sando points to a position group in the offensive line that Seattle head coach Pete Carroll labeled "still a work in progress" at his season-ending press conference. But with the way the Seahawks offense finished the year, Sando wonders how much work is left to be done. He writes:

Do the Seahawks need to fix their offensive line?

It seems a silly question, but for all the struggles along the line, Seattle's offense finished the 2015 season as one of the best in the league. Three backs had 100-yard rushing games. Coaches seemed to solve the pass protection issues by adjusting to a quicker passing game. Quarterback Russell Wilson tossed 25 touchdown passes with only two picks while taking 14 sacks in the season's second half. He led the NFL in QBR (84.2) in that span. The line could definitely use an overhaul, purely from a talent standpoint, but it's tough to argue with Seattle's production, especially late in the season.
