2. With Harvin gone, Seattle’s offense can focus more on even-production, like last season.

Offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell tried hard to get Harvin the ball this season, but defenses were having none of it.

And that made Harvin upset.

Harvin only produced 22 catches for 133 yards and zero touchdowns. He also had 11 rushing attempts for 92 yards with a touchdown but much of his production came on special teams.

Seattle has the speed to find another kick returner and their offense was just fine with Harvin last year.

Taking him out of the picture will allow Marshawn Lynch more opportunities to run the ball and allow Wilson to target his other top receivers, such as Doug Baldwin and Kearse, without having to focus all of his attention on Harvin as it seemed he did multiple times this year.

Seattle was more well-balanced last season with a deadly combination of running the ball and passing it. Unfortunately this year, defenses figured out that Seattle will try whatever is necessary to get Harvin the ball and the offense stalled because of it.
