As the 2024 NFL season kicks off, Seahawks fans are eager to see how their team will fare in one of the most competitive divisions in football. On the latest episode of “Inside BBI,” hosts John and Eric dive into the Seattle Seahawks’ upcoming season, analyzing key players, new additions, and what fans can expect in the months ahead.
The Seahawks have several standout players who are essential to their success this season. Quarterback Geno Smith returns after a breakout 2023 campaign, where he exceeded expectations and showed that he could lead the team effectively. Smith’s ability to build on last year’s success will be critical as Seattle looks to maintain its offensive momentum.
In addition to Smith, wide receiver DK Metcalf remains one of the most explosive players in the league. His combination of size, speed, and athleticism makes him a matchup nightmare for defenses, and fans can expect to see him play a pivotal role in the Seahawks’ aerial attack. Tyler Lockett, another reliable target, continues to be a consistent threat with his route-running skills and chemistry with Smith.
On the defensive side, all eyes will be on linebacker Bobby Wagner, who returned to Seattle after a brief stint with the Los Angeles Rams. Wagner’s leadership and ability to read offenses will be key to anchoring the Seahawks’ defense. The return of Jamal Adams, recovering from an injury, will also be crucial to providing a boost to the secondary alongside standout cornerback Tariq Woolen.
Seattle made notable moves during the offseason, bringing in talent that could make an immediate impact. First-round draft pick Devon Witherspoon, a highly touted cornerback out of Illinois, is expected to bolster the Seahawks’ already strong secondary. His aggressive playing style and ball-hawking ability should make him a key contributor from day one.
Seattle also added offensive weapons in the draft, including wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba from Ohio State. His versatility and route-running ability should complement Metcalf and Lockett, making the Seahawks’ passing attack even more dangerous.
John and Eric emphasize that while the Seahawks face stiff competition in the NFC West, they have the potential to be serious playoff contenders. If Geno Smith can replicate last year’s performance, and the defense continues to improve under Pete Carroll’s leadership, the Seahawks could surprise many in the league.
