Summary

Seattle Seahawks look to defend their Super Bowl crown—can Sam Darnold and a revamped backfield keep them on top? Joe Marino and Kyle Crabbs break down the team’s impressive roster continuity, the high-stakes departure of Ken Walker, and the arrival of rookie Jadarian Price. With standout weapons like Cooper Kupp, Rashid Shaheed, and Jackson Smith-Njigba, plus a promising O-line, all eyes are on how Seattle’s offensive identity evolves under a new coordinator. On defense, Mike Macdonald’s scheme squeezes elite production from both stars like Devin Witherspoon and rising talents such as Byron Murphy. Insights include the impact of key departures, specialized depth roles, and what Riley Mills could bring to Seattle’s intimidating front. Schedule analysis, projected win totals, and the Seahawks’ path back to the Super Bowl round out this comprehensive preview. Can Seattle’s suffocating defense and balanced attack fuel another title run?
