It's a new era in the Pacific Northwest. After 14 seasons with Pete Carroll in charge, the Seattle Seahawks have gone from having the oldest coach in the league to the youngest with Mike Macdonald taking over at age 37. Macdonald inherits a team that has talent and still won nine games last season.

NEW FACES: Head coach Mike Macdonald, offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb, defensive coordinator Aden Durde, QB Sam Howell, LG Laken Tomlinson, C Connor Williams, RT George Fant, TE Pharaoh Brown, DT Byron Murphy II, DT Johnathan Hankins, LB Jerome Baker, LB Tyrel Dodson, S Rayshawn Jenkins, S K’Von Wallace.Los Angeles Rams begin life without star defensive tackle Aaron Donald. It might not be fun.
WEAKNESSES: Offensive line and inside linebacker stand out as the two biggest concerns for Seattle. If the offensive line stays healthy, it could end up being adequate because of the additions of Tomlinson and Williams. But the lack of depth behind the starting five and continued worry about the health of former starter Abraham Lucas’ knee make the line a worry. Inside linebacker depth is also a concern as beyond Dodson and Baker there is rookie Tyrice Knight and not much else.
