Three reasons not to trust the Seattle Seahawks in 2022

The Seahawks coordinators are still unproven

Here’s what we know. Offensive coordinator Shane Waldron is entering his second season as an NFL coordinator. For a lot of 2021, the offense didn’t look that great and had issues staying on the field. Then Rashaad Penny got healthy and that in itself made the offense look fantastic for about five games. But did Waldron really do enough to prove he knows what he is doing?

Defensive coordinator Clint Hurtt is in his first year as an NFL coordinator. Hurtt is a coach who players seemingly love to follow. Hurtt will also have a lot of help from associate head coach/defense Sean Desai. But do we even know if Desai is a great coach? No.

While the team itself is young and somewhat inexperienced, so are the coordinators. Basically what the Seahawks front office is asking from the 2022 team is to all learn how to do their jobs together. That is a massive risk to take in the NFL.

This might all work out perfectly. The coaching staff is hungry to prove themselves and so are the players. But everybody is likely going to make a lot of mistakes and if these happen at key times in games, Seattle will lose. And they will lose a lot.
