Is the Seattle Seahawks pass rush record-setting great? Yeah, maybe they are.

The Seahawks have multiple weapons in their pass rush arsenal

Yeah, obviously that's not going to happen. As poorly as Cincinnati's offense has been playing, Burrrow has only been sacked eight times through four games. Not saying that's a great number, but you'd think it would be triple that, as they're averaging just over 12 points per game. Still, it's easy to see Seattle ringing up four or five sacks against the Bengals. Relax, I'm not going through the next 12 games. Suffice it to say, the Hawks found their pass rush in New York, and there's ample reason to believe they'll keep the pressure on all year.

The biggest reason is that there's not one player that the opposition can key on to double team. Pull a guard to help on Nwosu or Mafe on the edge, and you have to contend with Jarran Reed one-on-one. Or even worse, a blitzing Bobby Wagner or Jordyn Brooks. Note that Wagner and Brooks blitzed three times each in New York, and each recorded a pair of sacks. And I think we know what happens when Devon Witherspoon comes flying in. By the way, Tre Brown rushed the passer once and got a sack. Coby Bryant has rushed the passer six times and has one QB hit and one hurry.

I mentioned Jarran Reed, and cannot in all good conscience gloss over the fact that he's generated 15 pressures from the nose tackle position. That is ridiculously good production from that spot. And Mario Edwards, a guy I dismissed as basically a placeholder from Mike Marsh, has been exceptional as well. In 88 pass rush opportunities, he has a dozen pressures. That's what has made handling the Seahawks pass rush so difficult of late; the pressure can come from virtually any position with near-equal effectiveness. They have far too many weapons at their disposal for offenses to handle. Six players have multiple sacks and 13 players in all have at least one quarterback hit.
