2014 Preview:
Offense: Starters Returning: 7
Defense: Starters Returning: 5
New Head Coach: Chris Petersen
Ex-Boise coach Chris Petersen will have a new quarterback under center. QB Cyler Miles (6.9 YPA, 4 TD, 2 INT) is the favorite, but he missed all of spring practice after an arrest during a Seahawks Super Bowl celebration (no criminal charges were filed). Bruising RB Dwayne Washington (332 rush yds, 7.1 YPC) figures to step in for departed Bishop Sankey and runs behind an established O-Line. WR Kasen Williams (421 rec yds) is working his way back from a leg injury, and WR Demore’ea Stringfellow (259 rec yds) remains suspended from the Super Bowl incident, leaving little depth behind top WR Jaydon Mickens (688 rec yds, 5 TD). The defense is more settled, with DE Hau’oli Kikaha (13 sacks, 3 FF) and 330-pound DT Danny Shelton (59 tackles) anchoring the front four and hybrid DB/LB Shaq Thompson (78 total tackles) patrolling the middle of the field. But this is a very green secondary.
