SEATTLE _ Can this really be the 10th season for Pete Carroll as the Seahawks' coach, a tenure that ties him with Mike Holmgren as the longest in team history?
And can this really be Russell Wilson's eighth season as the Seahawks' quarterback and first that he starts with a "3" not only on his jersey but at the beginning of his age? (He turned 30 in November.)
The answer to both questions is yes and reminds us of how quickly time passes (even if the Seahawks are sometimes criticized for not passing enough).
Answers to lots of other questions about this season will begin to be determined Thursday when the Seahawks open training camp at the VMAC in Renton.
They are answers that will determine if the 2019 season will mark a continued successful move into the post-Legion of Boom era, or if the reinvention that began in 2018 may need a little more time.
Here are five questions that loom large as training camp begins. Many of these have been bandied about during the offseason but are worth reviewing as another season begins.
