Why the 2023 Seahawks defense could be the worst of the Pete Carroll era

It should come as no surprise that the Seattle Seahawks defense was overmatched against the San Francisco 49ers. What’s most disheartening is the fact that they started the game allowing a 72-yard run to Christian McCaffrey, and finished the afternoon allowing about 10 yards per play and 527 overall.

The Seahawks defense is a mess. They traded for Leonard Williams, who’s been one of the few bright spots on this unit since he made his debut in Week 9. I know I keep harping on this, but this is extraordinarily incompetent play throughout this 1-5 stretch.
